@26: >>>>>19. Buffalo Bills: A'Shawn Robinson, DL, Alabama

The vaunted Buffalo defense looked mediocre at times this season with many claiming that Rex Ryan's “scheme” was the issue. Robinson is a player who transcends scheme and would give Ryan a player who can play anywhere on the defensive line.<<<<<

 

If the above (which is from your link to CBS Sports) is true, Kyle Williams is through in Buffalo. I do however strongly disagree that Robinson can play "anywhere" on the DL. He is a DT, and he is a fantastic player.

 

Try to catch him on Monday. :)

 

These guys don't like him much. http://thedraftwire.usatoday.com/2015/12/26/2016-nfl-draft-ashawn-robinson-scouting-report-evaluation-round-grade-projection-film/

Have we learned nothing from history? A QB does not learn the game at the pro level. DB, line, maybe others, but QB needs to be a winner and have the basics down. Can't really coach that at the pro level. Remember EJ Manuel?

the physical NFL traits must be there from college on. The ability and willingness to be a relentless worker and learner as well.

 

But by no means is a college QB learning the to play the game as an NFL QB anywhere BUT at the pro level. The college game is what it is and from a QB standpoint especially, except for a few pro style programs, the offenses are not designed to develop pro QBs.

My FSU son pointed out the hang time on his kickoffs at the Peach Bowl. I don't know how I hadn't noticed. He can go deep, or he can hang it up there to land around the goal line while the cover team gets inside the 15. It's like a PUNT. (But he also came up short on about a 53 harder in a dome, so....)

He's a great K. It sucks to use a pick on a K but if you pick the right one, they can last for like 10 years.

 

I have no idea what happened to Carperter. The worst part is we cut Hopkins who looks pretty good. And he can actually kickoff too!

Carp is still fine on FG's. Better than fine, It's this odd extra point thing.

He could look a lot worse with a weak supporting cast if he decides to return.

 

 

 

yep, would really like to see him work behind TT for a couple yrs

Wrong! They don't learn hardly anything in college about the pro game. that is why they struggle so bad in the NFL and most never make it.

AFC executive: Ezekiel Elliott a "no-risk, high-reward" prospect --> http://bit.ly/1TFdMlY

CYEjSSEUAAA0Otm.jpg

 

The scoop: An NFC player personnel director says when he watches Christian Hackenberg, he wants to buy in so badly. The executive says the Penn State QB has everything -- size, arm, presence and commitment (he noted that Hackenberg kept his commitment to Penn State after the school was hit with sanctions on the heels of the Jerry Sandusky scandal). However, the personnel director says Hackenberg's footwork and accuracy are a concern, pointing out that QBs rarely become more accurate in the NFL. "This will be a very difficult evaluation for me," he said.

 

The skinny: An AFC scout told us in November that he was skeptical about Hackenberg's chances of turning his accuracy issues around. The QB announced after Penn State's bowl loss that he intends to enter the 2016 draft, and he'll be one of the most intriguing prospects to follow through the evaluation process. There's plenty to like about Hackenberg as a prospect, and also plenty to question.

FWIW as a Buckeye fan and someone that has seen a TON of Zeke I agree. There is very little risk with him. He is a complete back. Obviously,RB isn't a need but he'll be a really good pro. Edited by Kirby Jackson

2016 NFL Mock Draft by @DraftCampbell updated - http://walterfootball.com/draft2016charlie.php

billsb_logo.gif Buffalo Bills: Myles Jack, OLB, UCLA UCLA_logo.gif
The Bills traded away Kiko Alonso last summer, and their defense had a disappointing season compared to being one of the league's best units in 2014. Here's an upgrade with a prospect who could easily go a lot higher.

Jack notched 15 tackles, one interception and a pass broken up in his shortened 2015 season. He also had two carries for seven yards and a touchdown on offense. The junior suffered a knee injury in practice that ended his year early. He withdrew from UCLA early to prepare for the 2016 NFL Draft.

As a sophomore, Jack racked up 87 tackles with eight tackles for a loss, seven passes broken up, one interception and one forced fumble. While only a freshman starter in 2013, Jack became a superstar who was named the Pac-12's Offensive AND Defensive Freshman of the Year. On the defensive side of the ball, he recorded 75 tackles with 11 passes broken up and two interceptions. His pass-coverage skills for a freshman were outstanding. Jack ran for 267 yards on 38 carries (7.0 average) with seven touchdowns, too.

Jack's natural pass-coverage skills are extremely impressive. NFL evaluators are going to love what he can do in the passing game. Don't be surprised if the 6-foot-1, 230-pounder improves annually with his huge upside.
