Never4get#21 Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 I've seen a lot of your posted mocks. Most of them have safties in the later rounds. Interested to know what your thought are about "Bam Bam". Thinking late second day pickup. He had a good pro day. 4.41 forty 36.5 vertical 15 reps at 225lbs 10' broad jump Write up: A heady, instinctive defensive back who played in all 48 games over his final four years ... started 36 of his last 37 games ... his 35 consecutive starts were the most on the team at the conclusion of 2007 ... had 165 career tackles ... moved from free safety to strong safety in the spring of 2007 ... a big hitter ... dramatically improved his speed and strength after his arrival at Maryland ... added 25 pounds since the start of 2004 ... an Iron Terp in 2006 ... posted a 37 1/2 inch vertical jump and 545-pound squat in the spring of 2006 ... had a 39-inch vertical in the spring of 2007. http://umterps.cstv.com/sports/m-footbl/mtt/varner_christian01.html Down Side: He looks to hit too much. Needs to work on coverage skills. nice video of him: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jweisk1 Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 not a big MD fan...where is he projected to be drafted? Stats look good... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corrupt3d Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 UDFA, we should definately give him a look. EDIT: He also has punt return skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
argentina_redskins Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 I have watched him play at MD and he is not that great of a player. He could be a solid SS backup in the long-term but I don't really see him staying. He would be a late 7th round pick but I think we kind of need more of a FS than a SS (remember we only have 3 safeties on the roster as of now). If we had to draft a MD safety I would go for J.J. Justice who played FS at MD and did a pretty solid job for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justice who played FS at MD and did a pretty solid job for us. He'd only be for depth, in which case, picking him up as a UDFA would be a great move at SS. JJ Justice, however, could also be a solid UDFA acquisition, primarily for depth though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cjrugger Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Yes, lets draft every Terp, Mountaineer and Hokie thats available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Never4get#21 Posted April 15, 2008 Author Share Posted April 15, 2008 Yes, lets draft every Terp, Mountaineer and Hokie thats available. yeah ok..... The Skins are looking for depth at safety in this draft. They'll be looking for those late round "hidden gems". We need to address CB,LB,DT/DE, and OL on the first and early second day. With that said were going to draft a safety. I'm a MD Alum and I watched this guy play. He's not bad. He played both FS and SS so he can be versatile. He wasnt good as a PR. I think as UDFA or one of the 3 picks we have in the seventh, we should take the chance on this guy. He has potential and he's local. Heyer ring a bell.

Heyer, if I recall correctly...was projected to actually be a mid-round draft pick, until his knee injury caused his stock to dramatically fall.As for Varner, I can't find a single thing about him being projected anywhere near the actual draft. This guy will definitely go undrafted, no need to use a 7th rounder on him. That all being said, according to KFFL: http://www.kffl.com/player/19424/nfl Redskins | Varner to work out for team Fri, 21 Mar 2008 11:40:44 -0700 J.J.

I remember the other CB went high that year also i think it was Wilson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terpskins10 Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Err....I go to UMD and I've been watching him play. He and JJ Justice are awful and allow way too many big plays in the secondary. Not worth a draft pick, maybe worth a UDFA contract but he doesn't have much of an NFL future IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
