JM2009 Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 Thad Brown @thadbrown7 19m19 minutes ago More If Nate Peterman is as pro ready as everyone says he is, TJ Yates should be more nervous than Cardale. Tyrod doesn't need a vet babysitter.
MAJBobby Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 STRENGTHS Team-first player who played through severe wrist pain for almost the entire season. Sophomore season proved how productive he could be when allowed to play in the middle. Instinctive and quick to anticipate play flow. Takes aggressive contain angle when needed. Has a good feel for most efficient path to the ball. Maintains run fits and looks to spill the ball wide whenever possible. Plays with reactive athleticism to break down and quickly redirect his weight into runners trying to cut back. Shows a willingness to take on lead blockers with a leveraged shoulder. Good play speed with range to chase from sideline to sideline. Athletic enough to handle deep Cover-2 drops if called on. WEAKNESSES Angular frame with very short arms and may not be able to carry much more functional mass. Has never matched production total from two seasons ago. Below average play strength. Will struggle to unlock from a strong punch and fight back into the play. Could have issues leveraging his gap in the NFL. Can be washed away if he doesn't trigger downhill and stay one step ahead of blockers. Lacks thud behind his pads as a hitter. Has had issues sliding off of tackles. Has had to deal with injuries over the last two seasons and had to shut it down this season due to worsening of his wrist injury suffered in September. SOURCES TELL US "You might as well throw out this year because the guy was in a ton of pain all year long. It was obvious that something was wrong early in the year. I hate going all the way back to his sophomore year but I think you have to at least look at that tape to get a feel for who he might be able to become." -- NFC regional scout NFL COMPARISON Dominique Alexander BOTTOM LINE Vallejo's outstanding production his sophomore season is one of the things keeping him alive in scouting circles. From a physical standpoint, he's an undersized inside linebacker who lacks the long levers needed to keep offensive linemen off of him. His instincts and third-down ability are plusses, but he'll need to find the right 3-4 fit or attempt to move to an outside linebacker role in a 4-3. Vallejo has NFL backup potential.
PromoTheRobot Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 No RB picked to replace Gillislee. Fire Whaley already.
KRT88 Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 It's the sixth round but there were good TE and WR on the board and 2 of last 3 picks were LB's in a weak LB draft. Both were reach picks.
CanadianFan Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 No RB picked to replace Gillislee. Fire Whaley already. There are still 4 decent zone RBs left on the board. We might get one of them as UDFA.
rochester rob Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 On the plus side not one pick in the needed to sell tickets catagory
Mountain Man Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 It's the sixth round but there were good TE and WR on the board and 2 of last 3 picks were LB's in a weak LB draft. Both were reach picks.If If we hadnt selected them you would have been posting saying we should have addressed LB depth
LabattBlue Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 (edited) It's the sixth round but there were good TE and WR on the board and 2 of last 3 picks were LB's in a weak LB draft. Both were reach picks. I didn't like either of the LB picks Edited April 29, 2017 by LabattBlue
JM2009 Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 No RB picked to replace Gillislee. Fire Whaley already. I think this was McDermott's draft. Whaley could be gone soon we'll see.
JM2009 Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 Jerry Sullivan @ByJerrySullivan 33s33 seconds ago More Vallejo was second-team all-Mountain West as sophomore, honorable mention last two seasons. Did he peak in 2014?
frostbitmic Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 What happened to Elijah Lee, the LB from Kansas St ? ... I thought he'd go in the 3rd or 4th round.

Nitro Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 No RB picked to replace Gillislee. Fire Whaley already. Street FA, scrap heap vet FA or UDFA.
YoloinOhio Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 @marykaycabot One league source told me of #Browns Caleb Brantley: "A coach at school told every team he talked to 'stay away even if undrafted.'''
