tml6157 Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 6'1" 210 4.6 40 Shows very good range and hits like a truck. Will be around in the 6th and 7th rounds what do you guys think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goskinz0721 Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 First I've heard/seen of him. You're right, he hits like a truck and has great closing speed. #1. Is he smart? #2. MEAC - has turned out some players, but competition here has to be questioned. #3. Certainly worth a late pick based on his credentials Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skins3021 Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 if he is around that late absolutely get him, wouldn't even mind giving up a 5th rounder for him. this guy looks very solid and could definitely give doughty some competition for that starting SS spot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tml6157 Posted March 5, 2008 Author Share Posted March 5, 2008 im not sure about his smarts but id really like to use a 6th or 7th on him. If not starting material he would provide some decent depth at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boy1Der Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Reed Doughthy was a good late round pick I hope its true we have 9 picks cause I could see us adding some great players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spade Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 If we can get him in the 6th or 7th then that would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tedskins 73 Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Would be cool to see him in the box poaching the guy with the ball with landry over the top if he could develop into a player at the next level. If not it looks like he can push Doughty like Skins3021 said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldskool Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Sorry but there is no way I want someone named Robby Williams on my team... :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tml6157 Posted March 5, 2008 Author Share Posted March 5, 2008 he would allow us to go OL in the 3rd or 5th instead of S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fourth King Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Wow, I expected this to be another one of those threads with some random ass player. Granted, the competition in this conference isn't close to NFL intense, but he actually looks like quite a solid pick up. He doesn't let many tackles get away from him, does he? Also, he hits HARD! Those balls were flying! Can't get enough of these hard hitters. I'd even drop a 5th on him, allowing us to address O-Line early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking Williams in 5th or 6th or even 7th would be very solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPinstripe Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Seems like a good player, but I would need to see more then a highlight video of him. Plus I hate it when a highlight video uses the same play a couple of times. WHY!?!?!?!?!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsAllDay34 Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 I love him.....draft him...lol Laron and Bobbie at saftey next year...but i would rather have it Laron and sean RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaRonDontLikeUgly Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 hate to say it- but he's a poor man's sean taylor who "lacks consistent-competitiveness" according to a few scouting reports i've read. i would take a chance with our 7th rounder if he is still around... but many think he will be available as an undrafted free agent. in which case, i hope blache swoops down on him.

Truant Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 One letter off from this guy. Would have been a first-day pick to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truant Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 I'd sign off on this kid as a late round pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Brownstone Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Draft him in the 6th round. This kid looks solid and could probably give Doughty a run for his money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tml6157 Posted March 5, 2008 Author Share Posted March 5, 2008 im pushing hardcore for him, he reminds me of sean. Great closing speed and lights out hits. i still cant believe he is gone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MEAC - has turned out some players, but competition here has to be questioned. #3. Certainly worth a late pick based on his credentials #1 Is he smart? - Unless you're his coach or one of his professors, there's no way to answer this question. The better question is whether he's coachable or not. #2 Why does competition in the MEAC have to be questioned? Is it because they carry fewer scholarships than the BCD (I-A)? The fact remains competition is just as fierce in I-AA as IA. Competition is determined by the skill level of the persons around you. Many argue the lack of having a superstar at every position like in I-A is a telling sign that these small school kids have to better to stand out. Also BC's recruiting typically includes recruiting players that the other FLA schools aren't interested in. FLA has so many good players each one can't possibly be going to your IA Schools. The MEAC has turned out good players as has the SWAC because they are Division I Schools. Granted they don't have 20 - 60 thousand students like major I-A schools. I've seen the kid play personally, as I am a a Delaware State Alum and they are in the MEAC too. The kid has skills, but nothing about his play separated him from anyone else on the field. That's not a knock on him, but I didn't see game-changing play out of him. I saw solid play, but that was about it. I also had the luxury of seeing Antoine Bethea (Sp.) the Howard U kid play against DSU. He had game changing play. The most surprising thing about him was the fact that he lined up at CB and covered TE's and sometimes WR's equally as well as he could protect the field in certain packages playing a hybrid safety position.

Drunken Master III Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 I'd use a 4th or 5th rounder to select him. Looks like a beast regardless of the competition. He looks dominant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRobi21 Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 im pushing hardcore for him, he reminds me of sean. Great closing speed and lights out hits. i still cant believe he is gone I would'nt say he reminds me of Sean. More like Ed Reed though. Which is still pretty good, I guess. Would be a great late round pickup! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Never4get#21 Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 He looks like he takes the right angles. Hit's hard. Good Tackler. Im still high on ** Josh Barrett, S, Arizona St. ** ** He's taller, faster (ran 4.35 in 40 at NFL combine) and bigger at 230lbs. He also brings the pain. Positives: Well-built athlete who looks more like a linebacker than a safety. ... Well-proportioned frame. ... Good instincts for the position. ... Reads the action and puts himself in position to make plays on the ball. ... Aggressive in run support. ... Not afraid to mix it up with offensive linemen and fullbacks. ... Relies on his natural athleticism and hand usage to disengage from blockers. ... Good lateral quickness to string out the play. ...
