Re: 2014 NFL Draft

Round 5 Russell Bodine i want

now if you guys are not into an immediate starter aka WESTON RICHBURG early on and want to wait i have narrowed down my list to one OC later in the draft.

Round 6 Tyler Larsen C Utah State 6-4 313

unknown yet has an solid outside chance of pushing for playing time in year one.

If your going to gamble gamble big time and go for the player that could give you the biggest rewards

so no WESTON RICHBURG

then i would settle with
Round 5 Russell Bodine OC/OG NC 6-3 310
Round 6 Tyler Larsen OC/OG Utah State 6-4 313

option 2 UDFA?
James Stone, OC/OG 6-3, 311

Re: 2014 NFL Draft

Herrons weaknesses in this view do not make him sound a good prospect,sounds scared to get hit

OVERVIEW
Two-time honorable mention All-MWC (2012-13) selection. 2013: Started all 12 games. Led team with nine receiving touchdowns and was second on the team with 72 receptions and 937 yards. 2012: Played in and started eight games. Missed four games due to a shin injury. 2011: Played in 12 of 13 games with eight starts. 2010: Played in 10 of 12 games with one start.

ANALYSIS
STRENGTHS Good athlete. Exceptional straight-line timed speed -- can accelerate and get on top of DBs vertically. Quick-footed. Above-average hands. Has return capability (despite not being used as a returner because of offensive value).

WEAKNESSES
Does not play fast. Marginal toughness -- does not like crossing the middle or extending across his frame. Drifts in his routes. Short-arms the ball. Does not adjust to or track the deep ball well. Lacks physical strength and is jarred on contact after the catch. Carries the ball loosely. Disinterested blocker, especially on the backside. Regularly matched up vs. inferior competition. Has been dinged a lot and long-term durability is a concern.

BOTTOM LINE
Very diminutive, outside receiver with the timed speed to threaten the field vertically and potentially contribute in the return game. Needs to prove he can bow up against better competition and is more than a track athlete.

"Two receivers to the left, Garcon to the right. Manning in the shotgun, puts Collie in motion. Looks in his direction...it's picked off! It's picked off! It's Tracy Porter again! He's runnin' free! He's gonna go all the way!

not an issue really) Regularly matched up vs. inferior competition.
everything i look for a WR. the only thing missing here is a history droping easy passes ie mental lapse.

other than that the kid has all the major negatives i look for in a WR. checks off 9 out of 10 boxes. almost a perfect score

speed wimp that has no guts and shows little to no real effort to become a well rounded WR

Pass - you can find these type of guys all day long on the refuse pile of cut NFL players

Howard Jones Shepard Unv. 6024 235 olb

After running a 4.6-second, laser-timed 40 at the combine, Jones took a trip to a pro day at West Virginia University and clocked in at hand-held times of 4.41 and 4.40.
