actually he lacks closing speed. he is not slow but fast players tend to separate and he didn't make up that separation. Come on people do your scouting reports :P. He is a man coverage type player.

Be careful what you wish for...

Long speed is very average and will allow some vertical separation against speedsters. Had difficulties staying with Michigan wide receiver Amara Darboh in Week 3 of this season. His instincts and anticipation are just average. Can be slow with pattern recognition on combo routes. Has issues maintaining his coverage distance from man-off. Plays tall in space limiting his transition quickness when attempting to mirror receivers out of their route breaks. Has to be careful not to lunge when trying to reroute receivers after their release.

thats lacking closing speed on a ball thrown to a guy that has separated from him. I also said don't have him play man off or zone and this report nails it. Guess someone watched more tape on CB this offseason :P King was the should have been Pick for the Hawks at #31 in the first.

Yes, I knew that... Did I say he had great closing speed downfield or in coverage? Nope... I was referring to his tackling abilities... Stop acting like a damn know-it-all...

I gotta say.

I never want to get into a Twitter war with Drew Pearson...........

He is fucking Ruthless
I think he just likes attention. See his pick announcement earlier.

why do the Hawks CONTINUE to draft people that will be around in the 4th round??? i mean what is their excuse? "Oh we dont have any 4th and 5ths ( i know they have 1 4th ) so we had to pick them over the better talent avalible in the 3rd" ... WTF!

ok i know the draft is not over but right now, i grade it a D-. I have never graded a Hawks draft lower than a C before.

I would grade it a F but i can't go that bad until we see these kids play.

a seriously disappointing draft. this will be one we look back and and say "what if we have taken XYZ????"

foster and king were HUGE misses, HUGE.

Stop homering on King... The most overrated player on this message board...

I enjoyed Pearson... He's still owning the Philadelphia Eagles... That was classic...
Listened to it on the radio. Seemed like he kept trying to piss off the Eagles fans but most of them were just like "Who the fuck are you?". Didn't seem like they got too mad until the end when I bet most people in the room,regardless of which team they support, just wanted him to get on with it and do what he was brought there to do.

Bringing in competition for Rubin and Reed? Interesting pick in Jones. As day is closing, I will say they missed out on King.... hell, they could've gotten Baker as well.

we missed out on all the other corner talent too, taking some slow bum that nobody knows. seriously, this could be the draft where all the cred this team has built as a great drafting team turns to dust.

the only way this WR pick is worthwhile is if it means kearse doesnt make the team.

Man, I really like Conner and hoped we'd find a way to get him.

Ok i will take the last pick. He will challenge for playing time from day one. I think he is a Kearse style WR but better.
