Mister Happy Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 There's some nice YouTube playlists of draft player videos for CB, DE, DT and WR here: http://www.youtube.com/profile_play_list?user=NFLDraftVideos They are divided into Individual Plays and Highlight Videos, which are usually a bunch of individual plays strung together and set to music.

MumboSauce Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Nice find, bookmarked it. Will be checking these out. I have been looking for individual videos for the draft prospects.

Mass_SkinsFan Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Interesting. I really like USC Defensive End Lawrence Jackson, but he's not a First Round talent and I don't think he'll be there when we draft in the second. Now if we could trade down into the upper portion of the second round I'd take him in a heartbeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaught76 Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Who was #49 for Florida in the Derrick Harvey clips? He was getting more pressure from the other DE spot than Harvey was. At least from the video clips that what I saw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonMagicJuan Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 WR James Hardy is looking good right about now... i dont care what ppl say, i think calias campbell is gonna be great, he wil be a steal if he goes in the 2nd...i dont see how he can be bad if Greg Blache was his coach... Chaz from San Diego st is a tall guy who can run right now im high on Campbell, James Hardy, Marcus Monk and Malcolm Kelly ( only 1st round possibility is Kelly) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree though, I think he'll be a hell of an NFL player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arsenic Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 come on now, desean's like 5'8" 160 lbs soaking wet. he would not be able to get any type of seperation from physical corners. speed only does so much for you. http://www.nfl.com/combine/profiles/desean-jackson?id=1581&campaign=gsi_g Combine website shows DeSean Jackson as 6'0", 178 lbs. Although his coach claimed that he could run a legitimate 4.2, he finished the combine as the top performing WR in the 40-Yard dash, running a 4.35. And how does speed not create separation? Speed = Separation. IMO, you're over-hyping height (even though he is 6'0). If he can outrun most corners & catch the ball, i really don't care about height. The guys is a play-maker. Especially if he can return a few punts for 7 points. DeSean Jackson seems to have "IT". DESEAN JACKSON ANALYSIS FROM NFL COMBINE WEBSITE -------------------------------------------------------- Analysis Positives: Lacks bulk on his lean frame, but shows good muscle tone, adequate bubble, good arm length, natural hands and tapered thighs and calves...Split high with good leg length, as his lower body looks and runs like a sprinter's...Has just adequate strength to fight for tough catches, but shows the sudden burst to elude in the open field...While he has sprinter's speed, it is not like that of a normal track man, as he has a rapid stride with quick feet and the lateral agility to get in and out of a crowd with his flexible torso and hips that lets him adjust on the move...Highly motivated and intense player who works to finish and is not afraid of contact, but needs to tone down his emotions (gets caught up in trash talk and is taken out of his game when he spends too much time jawing with an opponent)...Gives a good effort in the training room and is an intelligent athlete who knows how to game plan for his upcoming opponent...Can be a vocal leader when he needs to and can handle tough coaching...Shows outstanding explosion off the snap with excellent get-off speed...Quick-twitch type who might struggle vs. a strong press, but has the lateral agility to set up the defender and get the opponent out of his backpedal earlier than desired...Has a good rolling burst to his break point, doing a nice job of lowering his pads throughout the route's progression...When he sinks his pads, he is very fluid accelerating out of his breaks...Runs posts and slants cleanly and has a good understanding for stems, sticks and leverage (must improve transition)...Avoids defenders and works back to the pocket when the quarterback needs to scramble...Finds and sits in soft areas, waiting for the reception and has the rare speed to close the gap on off-man coverage, as he does a good job of extending and gaining a step for the over-the-shoulder grabs...Very creative on the move with fluid hips. He needs work on his transition cuts, but he can run past defenders on deep routes...Has good ability to extend and pluck the ball outside his frame, especially on off motion and swing routes...Will round routes at times, but has the ability to create separation after the catch...Holds on to the ball after the collision and, while he will not hesitate on routes coming inside, he will lose focus when he hears the defender's feet...Is a true threat to challenge the deep secondary, but in 2007, Cal quarterbacks could not get the ball to Jackson consistently...Has the body control to make adjustments to the ball in flight due to his torso flexibility and adjusts fluidly to off-target throws...Slides to catch the ball within the framework of his body and has good body control to adjust to off-target throws...Has the ability to make the hard plant, allowing the defender to slide by and then burst around his opponent to gain extra yardage after the catch...Does not back down and can drop his weight in front of a defender, but is just a marginal blocker. Negatives: Had no injury problems until 2007, but with his small frame, he might not be able to withstand constant punishment in the many roles he plays and might be better served concentrating on receiving with limited involvement on special teams...Has very good speed, but is still a bit raw running routes and must improve his transition a bit...Is a willing blocker, but with his lack of bulk, he is risking further injury and also gets pushed back into the pocket too much when asked to block in-line (seems slow to fit and drop weight in front of the defender for better side and mirror)...Has an array of moves to get a clean release, but must keep his hands active when a press-coverage defender attacks his body...Has great confidence in his skills, but he'll be encouraged to quiet the on-field chatter at the next level, as physical defenders will make him pay...Relies on his quickness to get to the ball, but must show more aggression combating for the high throws in a crowd and hears footsteps...Could use more bulk on his frame, but not if it will impact his best asset -- explosive running ability. Compares To: STEVE SMITH-Carolina...Some experts compare him to Santana Moss, but he is much more explosive in his drive off the ball to the break point and brings much more value on special teams. Others liken him to Devin Hester, but he is not in that class yet as a returner and, because of size issues, he has never really taken to the kickoff-return role. Jackson is a better deep threat with better hands as a receiver than Hester. He is a few inches bigger than Smith, but both have a combination of explosive burst, quick change-of-direction agility and cutting ability to threaten the deep secondary consistently. Injury Report 2005: Did not play vs. Washington State (10/22) with a shoulder sprain. 2007: Suffered a badly sprained left thumb in the season opener vs. Tennessee (9/01) and the injury would hamper him throughout the season, as he was forced to wear a cast in practices and be heavily bandaged for several games...Missed the second half of the Washington game (11/17) and sat out the season finale vs. Stanford (12/01) with a thigh/quadriceps contusion.

Did you bother to watch any PAC-10 games this season? Dude disappears too much as a reciever in games. Yeah he's got great return skills, but are you really willing to spend a 1st round pick on a glorified return man as frail as he is?

JimmyConway Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Devin Thomas's video is one that I've watched a few times but if he is the #1 rated WR in some mocks we should stay away from WRs in the first round altogether. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
21+30=Area51 Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 I know Devin Thomas only really had one great year but watch his youtube video and you will understand why some have him rated as the #1 WR. He is big 6'2" 220 and super fast 4.38 40. Prototypical West Coast offense receiver with size and speed that will move the chains by getting yards after the catch. He is a threat to score every play. He has a great stiff arm. He had 79 catches for 1,260 yards and 8 TDs while compiling 2,590 all-purpose yards with rushes and kick returns. He is a great kick and punt returner 29.1-yard average. He torched Tracy Porter a likely early 2nd rounder for 13 catches 148 yards. He went for 9 grabs and 139 yards against Godfrey another highly regarded CB from Iowa and last but not least he destroyed Justin King another late 1st early 2nd rounder for 7 grabs 139 yards and 3 TD's. To me he looks and plays an awful lot like Andre Johnson. Im not saying he is on the same level but thats who he reminds me of with his size and speed. I would love to trade back and get another 2nd and take Thomas at say 34 or 37. Im not sure he will even be there at 21. I could see him going as high as Buff. But if we moved back grabbed Thomas, Campbell, and Phillips i would go nuts. Then address CB, Oline, and Dline. http://youtube.com/watch?v=AHbkz0IMIeA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Happy Posted April 3, 2008 Author Share Posted April 3, 2008 I've seen Jackson, Kelly and Sweed as the #1 WR, but never Thomas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
