*blink* The mistake is really in *where* players are drafted, not so much *if*. Had the Browns put a 5th rounder into Manziel, you wouldn't have head much of a peep out of me. Instead, they decided to go full retard and put the #22 overall on the table. Invoking and deserving my full agitation. Coleman was severely overvalued because their were front offices who felt his one great great trait (first step burst) overcame his several negative traits (hands, footwork, routes and post snap coverage reads). That mistake wasn't repeated here with a large over-investment of draft capital in Trash. He was taken appropriately so the draft capital is balanced with the risk.

Neither of those things negate the similarities in the short comings of their respective games.

OHHHH that's right the 2017 Halloween weekend game. yeah, I was drunk AF for that one.

The Bosa one SD mentioned was 2014 - J.T's rFrsh season when Braxton was out. #9 would have been Trace... we lost to Penn State that year at their house (2016)

I'll always listen to commentary from an NFL player - especially Smitty. That said, I'm concerned about the overplaying and hype because of two reasons. - Off corner play high and inside on most of these clips. From Ga Tech to Indy. This means two things - defenses respect speed. But they also don't respect your QB. I call those types of things "poker plays". And yes, there are "poker players" on the football field - Ed Reed is the best example you'll ever see. You're playing the man more than the hand. - No re-route from corners when they turn Thrash over to the safety when they have help. I'm not saying there isn't potential here, there is and I see the football I.Q. But JT's footwork, play strength (contested catch rate is awful) and he needs to clean up the drops. Hand injury not withstanding. He's smooth out of his initial move from the LoS, but I'm curious how he'll respond to press, bump and more physical corners in the NFL. He also tends to lineup on one side of the formation A LOT. So it'll be quite the switch having to play across the entire pattern as he learns how to be a pro. His 10 yard split is pretty average, but the top end gear is pretty damn good. But his route tree also doesn't look extensive either from what I've seen so far. Likely the Louisville offense and their designs for high percentage and YAC throws. edit: Day 3 pick was spot on. That's where I would have had him had I watched pre-draft. He has ability, but he needs time and coaching. Some of these knocks were the same one's we had on Corey Coleman. Only we spent the 15th overall on that asshole. Glad to see this front office isn't falling for similar tricks.

More Apt given that highlight and lowlight films are usually telling 25% of the story at best. Interesting prospect. There is a theme among the IDL taken by the Browns this draft - first step burst.

Honestly I'm just fucking with you. I don't play anywhere near enough anymore to justify giving suggestions. I hoped on Madden for the first time in 5 years and the same play mechanics have been broken from when I last left off. Really screams how cornered and lax they have that title as. NFL 2k5 played better and that was 20 years ago.

Tell him their game mechanics are trash and need to be fixed.

Completely off topic, but I was given a month of free EA play. If anybody wants to get a game of Madden in - holla.

Take the best athlete at CB you can find this late and coach him up. New England strategy for years that worked.

Long strider - Thrash. Looks like Joe McKnight but lighter.

Front offices evals are a fickle bitch. Because they might grade a guy 1-2 rounds higher than where he might normally go. At that point, what they so often fail to do late day 2 and early day 3, is read the room. Read the market. Because you grade him THAT high doesn't mean others would spend the draft capital on him. I use the phrase CMV (current market value) vs HMV (historic market value) In this case, the Lions really whiffed on the former.

One of my largest critiques of tOSU coaching staff from Knowles to Hartline. That's what I loved about Tress and Urby, young guys played and got that experience. You could tell how smoked the Dline was 2nd half of The Game. At that point they were on fumes. Haven't heard a thing. 2nd round, middle of, was about the absolute highest I would have had Mikey's eval. Would have been more comfortable in a middle 3rd rounder.

No. Tommy was a 'tweener. Mikey is a 3/4 tech.

An NFL scout really said a 282lb 3tech should shed "weight and be a LB". ? I would fucking doubt that. And that's a piss poor eval.
