DB is a position that is hard to evaluate when doing non-Power 5 or D2

-who is he really guarding/blowing up?
-were the ints great breaks on balls, or arm punts from bad QB's?

you have to factor in comp for any position on a lower level, but DB is tough

In addition to those two things, in general if a guy wasn't a playmaker against lower competition he aint magically going to turn into one on the pro level. You could look at Josh Norman's college tape and see that he could be somebody in the NFL based on the innate playmaking ability against the field. Now look at this guy the fukking Cowboys drafted as a S in the 4th few years ago and the competition he was going against, had bust written all over him

If he is a 4th rounder, how is he a bust?

I always watch their hips and feet. But a lot of it is football instinct and that's kind of hard to measure

Anthony Averett still getting no love :francis:glad hes comign back but he could be a 2nd round pick this year
Anthony Averett | Alabama, CB : 2018 NFL Draft Scout Player Profile

ranked 3rd best corner for 2018. Will be a for sure 1st rounder if he has another season like he had this year. At least someone sees what I see

It's about time we make an edge appreciation thread :blessed:
I follow him on IG and just respect the way he lives his life. Always some encouraging words for the youths and stuff like that. I hope he take Cook under his wing and be a mentor to him.

Every time he takes a pic with ball player who went to FSU, he always type they "skipped college"..lol

Edge is the realist ball player ever.One of my GOATS. He had 2 great interviews with espn magazine.

ESPNMAG.com - Straight-Up
ESPNMAG.com - Over the Edge
I remember those interviews. The summer time picking watermelons was his conditioning program. Him wanting to retire his mother seem like what I remember the most. The realness in the 2nd article had me sold.

OJ Howard killed it in senior bowl practice. Locked himself in as a first round pick. Hassan Reddikk went off too he will probably be a first rounder now

You believe everything the media tells you?

Evan Engram is the best TE in the 2017 draft. The kid is a future All-Pro. Howard will be just a good player. Might make a pro bowl. But he ain't elite. And definitely not worth a first round pick.

Hassan Reddikk is okay. Reminds me of CJ Moseley. Another second round talent.
