tsylvester Posted April 27 Posted April 27 Ali's tape is a fun watch. He's a loose-limbed runner with a blend of instincts and agility that create an admirable rate of consistency relative to the inconsistency of the blocking in front of him. He does a nice job of reading his blocks and shifting speeds to get where he needs to go, but his wiggle and run strength are just average by NFL standards. Ali doesn't appear to have enough acceleration or speed to rush away from speedy defenders, but he is a natural one-cut back. His touchdown production and third-down ability could improve his chances of finding work as an RB3 Quote
tsylvester Posted April 27 Posted April 27 Not sure I understand this pick, not fast, not much power, and a torn biceps too boot. Surely there were healthier, faster, or power runners left, even in the 5th... Quote
oldno82 Posted April 27 Posted April 27 Walker had 12 drops last season. His drop rate is 8.5%. He's pretty solid otherwise but I'm still wary because of the Perryman fiasco. Quote
tsylvester Posted April 27 Posted April 27 He is no Perryman, while he does need to work on his hands, alot of those drops were from him trying to do too much after the NCAA, suspended him for some bogus reason about transferring. His speed, likely our kickoff return guy, will open up the field. Quote

papasmurfbell Posted May 6 Author Posted May 6 I hear vorhees has been solid. He also was around the castle so he could soak up info. Quote
oldno82 Posted May 6 Posted May 6 They need him to be solid. We've drafted injured guys before who haven't ever played up to their scouting reports before they were hurt. Quote
tsylvester Posted May 6 Posted May 6 Not like him though, he was a first round talent before the injury. Quote
papasmurfbell Posted May 6 Author Posted May 6 Yeah like him. Dex was a 1st round talent but all the ligaments in a knee blown out is way to much with medical knowledge we have now. Quote
