Close to the half way point was wondering what you guys think of Nolan Nawrocki's prediction's at this point?

that Giovani Bernard is china doll soft, he pulls himself out of games for no reason and he always has some injury.

LeVeon Bell is a big good looking athletic dude but what bothered him was he tries to run out of bounds

Tavon Austin wont turn the corner in the NFL like he does in the Big East

Authur Brown is too small, get a body on him and he's done

Khaseem Greene is not instinctive, all the plays he makes are schemed

Lacy - Benifited from NFL caliber O-Line, Inconsistent catcher

Ball - Multiple head injuries as senior, weight fluctuations

Keenan Allen - Average Burst off the line, limited elusiveness after the catch

Justin hunter - Needs to refine his route running, top production came against weak defenses

Aaron Dobson - Small hands, ran limited route tree

DJ Swearinger - Lacks elite range, does not always wrap as a tackler

Vacarro - Riverboat gambler, baited in coverage, multiple arrests

Eric Reid = Arrives out of control and misses tackles, takes questionable angles

werner - pops upright becomes blockable, non-explosive lateral agility and range, average closing burst

sam montgomery - shut down by AM's Joeckel, average get off, short intial steps

Okafor - very stiff through the hip flexors and back, will take plays off

elam - man cover limitations, average range, multiple acohol incidents

cyprien - fooled by play action, lacks top end speed and range, clutches in coverage

milliner - not asked to press very often, misses tackles in space

trufant - very small hands, average INT production, not a physical tackler

rhodes - average ball production, technique needs refinement, doesnt play to his size

I agreed with some of those, disagreed with others.

If you throw out 20 observations, I think it's fairly easy to be right sometimes and wrong others..... That's how folks that evaluate the draft live their life.... Bang your chest when you're right - Pretend it didn't happen when you're wrong.

Individually, for comparison:

On Bernard-He was my #1 back. Fast, elusive, good receiver, blocking issues though. 2nd round grade

On Bell-I liked him, but liked others better. Thought he lacked speed and would struggle to make plays.-4th round grade

On Austin-Elite speed, but can he be a #1 guy. Will size make him hard to see and limit his ability over the middle-1st round grade, but later 1st. 4th WR.

On Brown-Huge fan, small, but can play outside in a 4-3, or inside a 3-4. Smart, solid tackler, on the small side-1st round grade, wanted him for Cincy

On Greene-Good speed and great hands, good in coverage-2nd round grade

On Lacy-Slower, lacks quickness in traffic, possibly a system product, -3rd round grade

On Ball-Possibly overworked, system product, lack of speed-5th round grade

On Allen-Solid hands, good route runner, not fast, not a playmaker-2nd round grade

On Hunter-Great athlete, needs work as receiver, lacks polish, hands concerns-2nd round grade

On Dobson-raw, good hands, good speed, not great-late round grade

On Swearinger-Big hitter, not a great tackler, average in coverage-3rd round grade

On Vaccaro-Fast, can cover one on one, occasional lapses when juked-1st round grade

On Reid-Good speed and range, big hitter, misses some tackles, can't cover on his own-2nd round grade

On Werner-Quick off the line, lacks agility, doesn't fight through blocks-2nd round grade

On Montgomery-Fast, but not always functional speed, blocked easily, off-field concerns-3rd round grade

On Okafor-Not fast, tweener, hard worker, good tackler-2nd round grade

On Elam-not great in coverage, lacks range, big hitter, makes splash plays-2nd round grade

On Cyprien-Great range, recovers well, solid tackler, makes plays, hasn't played elite competition-1st round grade

On Milliner-good in coverage, good speed and recovery, can be beaten physically, system player?-1st round grade

On Trufant-good speed, can play in multiple systems, good size-1st round grade

On Rhodes-great size, decent speed, good hands, needs polish-1st round grade

I've always heard Nawrocki was nuts. I believe now, and I didn't get read past the Giovani Bernard critique
