NYskins Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Well at least he's got Carlos Rogers to teach him the fundamentals of catching.:laugh: Cringe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCJDLJ Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 On nfl network his 40 time was like 4.44 ESPNs draft tracker lists him @ 4.419 40 yrd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarhog Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 What are you guys complaining about - we spent a high round pick on Carlos Rogers and he's been borderline capable (at best). I think corner is one of the hardest positions to project success/failure in the NFL. Size is nice, but its not as important in a CB as other factors. Guy could be a hidden gem.

panel Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 he sounds a lot like a smoot kind of guy. little small, but plays with a chip on his shoulder.let's hope he doesn't break out that torpedo tackle that smoot used to do all the time. That is what I was thinking. I will be good in coverage, and that is all we need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrockster21 Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Dude how do you know. I'm not sure if that was a question or not, but the answer is simply that I don't. I'm just expressing my opinion on the very site designed for me to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashsra Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 We'll see with this pick. My guess is they're hoping he can develop into a nickel guy...SI listed him as an underrated prospect though. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/stewart_mandel/04/23/2008draft/1.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlindsey13 Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 It mentions on his NFL.com profile that he's a Cowboy fan. He better lose that affinity rather quickly around these parts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DallasSucks19922010 Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 I know another short, track star CB we took a gamble on drafted about 15 years ago. Who? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsngibbs4life Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 The 5'9 is a little desieving. He is listed as 5'10 on many places, so reality is he is probably 5'9 3/4 or something. Still small, but not horrible. watching his draft day video on youtube, they said his instincts arn't very good, but he has great recovery speed when he does get burned. The people on the draft video compared him a lot of Ellis Hobbes... lets hope he turns out that way. He was the second strongest CB in the draft, and is faster than his 40 time shows (even when 4.4 is still a good time). I nervous about his instincts, and his tendancy to give up the big play. Lets see how this plays out though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fosback Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 <<NEGATIVES: Not a physically strong defensive back >> He was the 2nd leading bench presser among CB's at the combine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kvarlo12000 Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 cowboy fan our scouts must have left that question out. how could we draft a cowboys fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonny Joe Hog Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Looks like a very quick and smooth athlete on film. Seems to be very competitive. Also said to be good on Special Teams. Looks like he has a shot to make it. I have no problem with this pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsngibbs4life Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Make no mistake, Justin Tryon will give up some big plays. He's a gambler by nature, and he can get burned as a result. But this undersized corner plays with tons of heart and fire, and as you'll see on Draftguys TV, those qualities often give him the edge against bigger competition. Tryon's a mid-round cornerback who could develop into a Nathan Vasher type of player. per draft guys tv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DexterSackMachine Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Scouts.com had him rated a fifth round pick. Seems like a decent pick to me. The only real knock being his size, but this is the late fourth round, what do you expect? This seems like more of an immediate need pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stp240 Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 21 reps on bench.... Are people grasping this? Some previews say he lacks strength!? He seems to me like a big play receiver with great speed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angel2 Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Justin Tryon CB, Arizona State War Room analysis Strengths: Is a good athlete, and makes plays in all types of coverage. Enjoys bump-and-run coverage, delivering hard jams to receivers. Turns and runs with receivers with ease, staying physical throughout the route. When playing off the ball, reads the quarterback well and shows explosive closing burst to cut in front of receivers to break up or intercept passes. Is tough and competitive. Comes up quickly in run support, and is a willing tackler. Has experience as a return man; shows the acceleration, speed and elusiveness to be a good NFL returner. Weaknesses: Is short, and struggles against tall receivers, especially in the red zone. Tends to get overaggressive when tackling, lunging at ballcarriers instead of wrapping up. Bottom line: A number of NFL teams will remove Tryon from their draft boards because he is under 5-10. That said, a talented short cornerback is better than a mediocre tall one. At the East-West Shrine workouts, Tryon proved he has the tools to become a solid NFL starter. He first will need a couple years of seasoning as the nickel back and return man. Tryon reminds us of the Patriots' Ellis Hobbs. Why do we always get these shorter CBs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRedfishCo Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 LEODIS MCKELVIN is too small Buffalo messed up picking him in the first round at 11!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Since he is the same weight as Justin Tyron and only 3/4" of an inch taller :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: He's too slow since he is "0.03 of second slower than McKelvin". Some of you guys are funny. Truth is 99% of us never even saw this guy play to make judgement other than he's "too short". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsngibbs4life Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Scouts.com had him rated a fifth round pick, but you have to remember we don't have a fifth round pick.Seems like a decent pick to me.

Birdlives Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 It says he is a sprint champion, and his bios and scout reports all say he is very fast. Helps if you read that stuff instead of simply looking at his 40 time.I know another short, track star CB we took a gamble on drafted about 15 years ago. Who? Actually it was 25 years ago, but you get the point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDMAN7 Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 cowboy fan our scouts must have left that question out. how could we draft a cowboys fan. According to what I read both Davis and Kelly were Cowboy fans too :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norvitis Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 It seems like every draft the Redskins just give up after the third round. A monkey throwing darts at the draft board could make better selections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terpfan Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 LOL at you guys making judgements off of a few lines of scouting report. I think the coaches might know a bit more than us. I'm just glad we took a CB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
