Re: 2014 NFL Draft

Cody Latimer at 6’2” 215lbs with an arm length of 32 5/8” made money at the pro day when he turned in 4.44 40 and athleticism to challenge any wr in the draft. shame he played at IU.

on phase of his game i really like is the dude is a blocker

Route running and tree progression is the key area improvement he needs to work on. but a lot of that could be do to playing at IU.

I thought it was a no brainier in the fifth to pick the kid if he did ok at his pro day. well he blew the doors of the place.

now a third round pick is not that far fetched. if he is there in the fourth round for us i will be amazed and he will be one of the players a top my wish list.

Yep! Depending on who you ask, he's 6'3 and i'll gladly take that. Yep route running tree is always somethin to get better at. I would not be surprised in the least if he goes 2nd round to a team who covets him and is wr needy(please not carolina!)

But it does look to be 3rd RD at the absolute latest like you said. He's buzzing and shooting up on every analysts draft boards that ive seen, and its definitely justified

2014 NFL Draft: Week 4 Pro Days takeaways - CBSSports.com

4. Healthy and movin' up. Due to a partially torn hamstring, Georgia Tech pass rusher Jeremiah Attaochu didn't work out at the NFL combine last month, but was good-to-go on Friday for Georgia Tech's pro day. And, as expected, he was impressive. Attaochu ran his 40-yard dash times in the late 4.5, early 4.6 range with a 37.5-inch vertical jump, 4.64 short shuttle and 7.28 three cone drill. His 1.55 10-yard split would have ranked him tops among all linebackers at the combine.

Attaochu, who was born in Nigeria before moving to the Washington, D.C., area, set the Georgia Tech all-time record for career sacks (31.5) and continues to be one of the more underrated prospects in this class. He's extremely active, using his athleticism, motor and heady instincts to win off the edge, collapse inside or find the quarterback whichever way possible. Attaochu is still unrefined in some areas, something he also showed during his pro day performance, but there is definitely some untapped potential there as a 21-yeard old who didn't start playing football until high school. In the late first or early second round, Attaochu is going to make a team that implements a 3-4 defense very happy.

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

Yesir been watchin him for a while, you're bout the only other guy ive seen that has a man crush on him, and you have every reason to feel that way about him haha.

Dood is a straight baller.... Call me crazy but i feel he's better than Kony Ealy & Dee Ford by a wiiide margin yet those 2 are gettin all the hype. ATT(yes i just made that name for him) is so explosive off the line and violent its kinda sad watchin the OT go through torture like that over and over lol.

ATT Reminds me of a much more polished Ziggy Ansah, which is scary cuz he's only getting better.

I believe if healthy he can step in year one and be just as productive as Junior and his upside is much higher as well.

Draft is too exciting this year...

Re: 2014 NFL Draft


I like that even at 20 years old he still carries himself in a professional, mature manner. Doesnt come with off the field issues either...

Re: 2014 NFL Draft

And dont forget... Although Allen ran a 4.6, everything else was on point.

Consistently beats press
39" Vertical Jump
10'7" Broad Jump
4.0 sec 20 yrd Shuttle

This combination was better than most other big names at WR. All 3 drills were better numbers than Sammy Watkins posted, not that he's better, just shows he's for real.

Well his pro day is April 8th, hopefully he can improve upon those numbers... That'll be a big day for me that i'll monitor and give the details on here later.

Re: 2014 NFL Draft

Have to laugh though when scouts question Moncrief's straight line speed yet he ran one of the fastest forty-yd dash times at the combine and you never saw him caught from behind...

Re: 2014 NFL Draft


Dropping over 100 on 6'3, Stanley Jean-Baptiste while still developing is no joke. I like that he can beat press consistently, that goes along way with corners like seattle's which we clearly could not get any seperation in the playoffs/season.
