Re: 2016 NFL Draft Prospect Thread ...............

Here's my final DT rundown. Next up, I will get to DE. I'm anxious to get to TE and WRs.

1.Maliek Collins vs Wisconsin (2015) | Draft Breakdown

He was always getting to the QB, and seemed to be quick against linemen and could get after the run. This video was against the highly proficient Wisconsin offense. Collins is expected to be late round 3.

2.Javon Hargrave vs UAPB (2015) | Draft Breakdown

He was the best of the five I saw, but I have him second because of the conference. MEAC isn't known for churning out NFL players. Though Hargrave was dominant, will that translate to a NFL level bigger than opponents he never faced in college? He's going round 4.

3.

He was solid but could have been better. Looking to be round 3.

4.

While he could get near the qb a lot. Two glaring things, he was not good at disrupting the pocket, qbs could run out of the pocket and make him miss. And he could not stop the run, and RBs would run where he could not go after them. Also, he had a habit of always falling down. The thing that stands out about him? He's a wannabe Troy with the hair.

5.
Wasn't impressed at all. He was also playing against WVU, one of the least NFL caliber offenses in college. Also, he got a lot of help with his fellow safety Reed. He should not be drafted.

Draft
Round 3-Collins, Hargrave, or Jones
Maybe
Round 3-Day
Do Not Draft
Round 4-Ridgeway

...Collins isn't the most intimidating defensive tackle prospect on the sidelines with average size and bulk, but his play stands out due to his impressive movement skills.
After leading Nebraska with 13.0 tackles for loss in 2014 to go along with 4.5 sacks, Collins failed to build on those numbers last season, finishing with 7.0 stops behind the line and 2.5 sacks. He opted not to return for Year Two under coach Mike Reilly, forgoing his final season to enter the draft...



...WEAKNESSES: Lacks the brute strength to overwhelm his opponent in tight spaces and most blockers can match him power-for-power. Easily moved by double-teams and can be washed out of the hole by angle blocks. Stuck on blocks too long. Still developing his counter moves, struggling if he doesn't win with his initial step. Will overrun the pocket and needs to better control his momentum in tight spaces. Needs to better protect his lower body off the snap. Scheme-specific and lacks desired versatility.

IN OUR VIEW: Collins lacks the bulk and power scouts would prefer in an interior defensive lineman...

We already have guys like this on the roster...

Now DE/DT Jarran Reed, Alabama or NT Vernon Butler, Louisiana Tech are the only high round defensive linemen I'd take that would complement this front seven...

This is a very deep class for DT and DE and we still could upgrade in the later rounds though I'd agree we need at least one big impact DL through FA (i.e. NT Damon Harrison, DE Malik Jackson) and one in the draft...

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