Featured Discussion 2015 NFL Draft Day Discussion Thread

Redskins Spaight, Martrell

[jeanpierre]

Tight End Brian Parker, Albany, is a guy worth a pick today...

[jeanpierre]

Lynden Trail is a guy we may nab with one of these two picks...

Wanted Blake Bell, but San Fran jumped that selection in the fourth...

Bears Adrian Amos FS

Vikings (from Lions through Broncos and Bears) Pruitt, MyCole

[jeanpierre]

Wouldn't it be funny if we nabbed two linebackers?!?

Taiwan Jones and Davis Tull?

[jeanpierre]

Three teams have jumped in front of us...

[lee909]

Hayes Pullard impressed me in a interview earlier

PRO DAY RESULTS

Vertical jump: 30 1/2 inches
Broad jump: 8 feet, 10 inches
20-yard short shuttle: 4.4 seconds

ANALYSIS
STRENGTHS
Patient. Won't hit the gas unless it's necessary. Leverages outside runs and doesn't give away cutback lanes very often. Athletic mover in space and has functional closing speed. Functional change-of-direction player. Transitions with smooth hips and acceleration to chase perimeter passes. Can mirror in man coverage and has solid ball skills. He's willing to throw his body into a tackle. Scouts like his leadership.

WEAKNESSES Not a tough guy on tape. Will back up and give ground to stay clean against second-level blocks rather than slip them. Doesn't possess violent hands and has trouble shedding blocks. Must improve his play strength. Lacks a downhill, attacking quality. Has athleticism and instincts to play middle but might lack "mean." Has tackle numbers, but hasn't had a sack in two years and has caused or recovered very few turnovers during that time.

DRAFT PROJECTION Round 6 or 7

NFL COMPARISON Lamin Barrow

BOTTOM LINE Athletic linebacker who falls into a habit of letting plays come to him rather than making things happen. While lacking an aggressive strike as a tackler, Pullard has the athleticism to be a solid NFL player. He has to find a scheme that can keep him clean or he might be just another linebacker.
