26CornerBlitz Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 Florida State's Ramsey enters NFL Draft as top-rated DB Top-rated defensive back Jalen Ramsey has decided to enter the 2016 NFL Draft, and projects as a versatile playmaker whether he ultimately stars at cornerback or safety.
Astrobot Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 Jayron Kearse, SS Clemson. 6'4", 210 lbs Kearse is a freak athletically. Physical at the line of scrimmage, excellent ball skills, would make an excellent SS/Linebacker hybrid. Question will be where he goes. I've seen any where from 1st to 3rd round. We have Kearse as the first SS off the board and at #25 on our Big Board. If Aaron Williams can't come back, Kearse is a good pick. There are players in position of need right around #19 that I'd rather have (Buckner at DE, Washington at NT), as I like some safeties later.
Astrobot Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 Bills will take a Safety early, and fringe fans will be outraged. If value is there, Whaley pulls trigger. He won't reach. Here is where I think he'd perceive value, prior to the Combine: RD2=Vonn Bell Ohio St--ath, coverage safety, aggressive, gamechanger RD2=Darian Thompson Boise St--runstuff, sideline-to-sideline, great size RD3=Jalen Mills LSU--tackler, hands, upside, versatile (FS-SS) RD3=Karl Joseph WVU--tough, explo, aggr, reflexes, out for '15, back by Combine RD3=Miles Killebrew, SUtah-- tallest, fastest SS, exp disguising coverages, base 4-3 RD4=Trent Matthews, Colorado St-- ACL, 50 starts, 273 tkl, 10 INT, 23 deflects career

EmotionallyUnstable Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 I wonder if the Ed Reed signing has any influence on who's selected and at which round.
D. L. Hot-Flamethrower Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 @RQUINN619 NFL Draft: Scouting Clemson SS Jayron Kearse, Potential #Bills Target? http://buildingtheherd.com/nfl-draft/2016-nfl-draft-is-clemson-s-jayron-kearse-a-fit-for-buffalo-bills/ (via @BuildingHerd) I was intrigued by Kearse and watched him closely against Bama. The scouting report is accurate in that he is inconstent and doesn't really stand out. Pass

Not at the table Karlos Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 Jayron Kearse, SS Clemson. 6'4", 210 lbs Kearse is a freak athletically.

I would love to have him on our team.
YoloinOhio Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 Matt Miller of bleacher report has said a couple times that two NFL scouts he's talked to have OSU Safety Tyvis Powell ranked higher than his teammate Von Bell. While this seems curious to me and I can only imagine is due to his size, which is similar to Kam Chancellor, I would not be upset to take him in the 5th or later. He is certainly smarter and IMO an overall better player than Duke Williams and would be a nice depth safety who could use his size. This is a good analysis for anyone interested ... http://www.landgrantholyland.com/2016/1/20/10790854/ohio-state-tyvis-powell-2016-nfl-draft-prospects?utm_campaign=landgrantholyland&utm_content=chorus&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter

johnwalter Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 !!! Haha, I'm not much of a scout, but I got fired up about him after reading a handful of his scouting reports.

He's got some work to do in terms of giving up his cushion too quickly when forced to cover the slot, but he's got prototype size and is very versatile. Also, I like that he sticks his nose in the muck in run support. The rest of this crop doesn't thrill me, especially Killebrew.

Where would he line up in Rex's defense? I see him projected as an ILB in a 3-4. Could he be an in the box safety?
