Muma visiting too.

My mom hasn’t visited for awhile.

Muma visiting too.

One of my favorites in the draft.

We showed Muma a lot of attention at the SR bowl as well.

One of my favorite CB's in the draft.

Cam Taylor-Britt.

A little concerned about his man to man coverage skills but he can get better at that. Reason why he goes in Round 3 and not Rd 1. Love his ball skills, his ability to tackle and hit.. Great blitzer too.. Always around the ball.

Again, sorry for the music... I don't know why some of these guys choose the music they do with highlights.

 

[2Kback]

Highlight reel makers always use the worst music.

Drives me nuts. When players I work with are sending me highlight film to pass on if they include cuss words in their music I always send it back to them to pick a new background music with it... I tell them to think of it as a resume. Would you put cuss words on your resume?

I am all for a good rap song and whatever if it has a few cuss words in it here and there but I hate passing on highlight film with cuss words.

Finally - the code of silence is broken, and somebody speaks out. Thank you - Thank you!

Seems there is a gap in the CB pyramid between about the early Round 2 CB's and mid Rd 3. Watch out for guys like

Cam Taylor-Britt, Nebraska
Alontae Taylor, Tennessee
Zyon McCollom, Sam Houston State
Martin Emerson, Miss State
Colby Bryant, Cincy

To go higher then people may think right now.

Might throw Houston CB Marcus Jones on this list but he is so small and has the shoulder issue. Could go earlier though because of his return skills.

What about Roger McCreary?

 

[Draft Crazy]

I put McCreary in the tier above these guys. If anything he will do the opposite and fall a bit. You know I love McCreary I have been talking about him in this thread all year but his short arms are hurting him a bit. He is a first round talent who appears to be falling to Round 2.

The draft is in 3 weeks.

I can see a good fit with McCreary on the Broncos opposite the silky smooth Surtain. McCreary will make a WR he's covering feel like he got hit with a sock full of marbles for 60 minutes. Plus - he loves to fight for the ball - it's always on his mind. I'd say that would be a good matchup across from Surtain - pick your poison - mix and match.

Drafting well at CB will save a lot of salary cap money - and guys have shown they can be 1st year stars or prove valuable in their 2nd year.

I would not be surprised to see the Broncos go CB with their first pick of the draft

I would be doing flips for McCreary even if he has short arms. Which is a big deal for a CB... I like length but I have been raving about McCreary since his SOPH year for what I have seen him do on the field. I aint turning my back on him now.

I'm a little slow to the party - but as long as you point me the right way to make up my mind - that's a valuable short cut.

My sleeper WR this year... Sleeper beings he is known but I think he is going to play way above his draft stock.

Bo Melton is a great talent. He was in a terrible offense at Rutgers. Their offense was a bit better his JR and SR year but still not great. His FR and SOPH year their offense was probably worst in Power 5. He reminds me of Stefon Diggs coming out. Stefon played in a not so good offense (yet much better then Bo played in).

If you put Bo Melton in the same situation as David Bell (I do like Bell so don't take this the wrong way) His numbers and draft stock would be insane.

 

[Draft Crazy]

My favorite Rd 3-5 RB's.

Raachad White, RB, Arizona State


Zamir White, RB, Georgia



I feel like we haven't even begun to see the upside of those two power backs who can also catch the ball.
Raachad White was the #1 JUCO RB coming out. Split time with Danyiel Traynaum as a JR in a covid year. Beat out Traynaum as the starter and both had good JR seasons. This year while splitting carries he held off the very impressive Traynaum and continued to have success. He has very limited carries coming out due to a crowded backfield at ASU and playing JUCO ball but this guy to me could end up the second best RB out of this draft class.

Zamir White was the #1 recruited RB coming out of HS. Tore his ACL in HS and then again his FR year at Georgia. Knee is a concern but he has gone 3 years now since it... His usage is small because he played behind D'Andre Swift as a FR and then he had James Cook and Kenny McIntosh sharing carries with him at UGA. UGA also became primarly a passing team this year. White did a lot with his carries though. A lot of upside and low volume in college.

 

[Mingo]

Rashaad White would be a great weapon on this Bronco's offense. I know the PAC12 guys best.

 

[Clayton]

I'm agreeing with a lot I see DC saying on here but I actually dont want McCreary on the Chiefs. I see a lot of limitations to his game.

Zamir White reminds me of the type of player that ends up on the Niners. Fast, strong, and not afraid of contact. For better or worse. Could be a really special player on the right team if he stays healthy.
