Brugler's report on

 

18. MARTEZ CARTER | Grambling State 5064 | 204 lbs. | rSR. Monroe, La. (Richwood) 3/8/1994 (age 24.2) #4

BACKGROUND: A no-star recruit out of high school, Martez Carter had a tough up-bringing and relied on sports to be his escape from the real world. He was a two- sport star at Richwood as a quarterback in football and guard in basketball, averaging 17.0 points per game in 2012 as he led the team to the state title. He was productive on the football field, but academic and eligibility issues kept him sidelined for his senior season and limited his options after high school. Carter received a basketball scholarship at NAIA-level Wiley College in Marshall, Texas for the 2013 season, but his stay was short-lived due to a coaching change. He returned home and was introduced to Grambling State head coach Broderick Fobbs, who offered him a walk-on opportunity as a cornerback. Carter practiced primarily on defense in 2014 while turning heads as a kick returner. He was moved to offense as a sophomore and rushed for 876 yards and nine touchdowns, adding 12 catches for 134 yards and four scores. Carter started 11 games as a junior and posted 906 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns to earn First Team All-SWAC honors. He again led the team in rushing with 854 yards and 10 touchdowns as a senior in 2017, adding 33 catches for 449 yards and two scores to earn First Team All-SWAC honors. Carter accepted his invitation to the 2018 NFLPA Collegiate Bowl.

 

PRO DAY 5064 204 30 1/4 08 5/8 71 1/4 4.50

 

STRENGTHS: Developed muscle tone and bulk on his frame...runs with a low center of gravity...lateral quickness to juke out of trouble...sharp footwork to transition in/out of his cuts...type of runner safeties don’t want to see in the open field because of his shifty moves...flashes speed to win the edge...runs tough and lowers his pads to finish...integral part of the passing game with natural ball skills and hand/eye coordination...admirable job in pass protection, scanning, locating and lowering his shoulder to be a one-pop daddy...averaged 22.5 yards per kickoff return in college with four touchdown returns (92/2,066/4)...has overcome a life of adversity with several family members incarcerated, including his father, and moved out of his mother’s house at the age of 14...graduated with a degree in criminal justice (Dec. 2017)...averaged 6.6 yards per rush over his career with 43 total touchdowns.

 

WEAKNESSES: Lives an east-west life...spotty vision and often makes one too many moves, passing up usable run lanes in search of greener pastures...lightning feet, but will play too quick and lose his footing...quicker than fast and lacks a breakaway gear, allowing defenders to chase him down...maxed out build...minimal run power and won’t push his way through a crowd...leaves his feet prematurely in pass protection and needs to stay under control...leaves the ball exposed, inviting defenders to rip the ball out (17 career fumbles in college)...ran with the wrong crowd most of his life and was arrested as a junior in high school for a gang-related fight...older prospect and will be 24 years old when drafted...lacks ideal experience vs. top-level competition.

 

SUMMARY: A three-year starter at Grambling State, Carter was the featured running back in the Tigers’ offense and led the team in rushing the last three seasons, also lining up out wide and in the slot and returning kicks. With his challenging up-bringing, he was a longshot to play college football and deserves credit for guiding his career over road bumps to the NFL’s doorstep. Carter is a jitterbug athlete, eluding tackle attempts with his active feet and tough-minded mentality. He quickly collects his momentum to make sharp cuts and always has an escape route, but his proclivity to bounce everything outside won’t work in the NFL. Overall, Carter doesn’t have the vision, reliability or pro ceiling of Tarik Cohen, but he has the athletic profile and versatility as a runner, receiver and return man to potentially fill a similar role as the Chicago Bears’ running back.

Who are some names we should look to sign? I think we can find a return guy speed receiver.

 

I like Wadley but since they drafted Guice and just got Carter, doubt he is a target.

 

Levi Wallace, CB, Alabama

Tony Brown, CB Alabama

Holton Hill, CB 

Quin Blanding, S, Virginia

What's the reason behind Holton Hill's fall?  He had some drug issues, IIRC (I think, can't remember), but as a UDFA he has to be a top tier target.

 

Beyond that, Weathersby and Parris ought to be priorities for potential LG.  That or Desmond Harrison and smack him around if he acts up.

 

It's self-serving, but I'd love to see us give Quin Blanding a shot as a sort of Su'a Cravens-lite.  He's someone I'd like to see playing downhill more than covering, so could be a neat SS/LB hybrid type.  If nothing else, he'll contribute consistently on special teams.

Cool one for me. First time I can say the Redskins took a guy from my undergrad, alma matter

 

17. TIMON PARRIS | Stony Brook 6055 | 312 lbs. | rSR. Floral Park, N.Y. (Floral Park) 9/11/1995 (age 22.6) #71

BACKGROUND: A no-star offensive tackle recruit out of high school, Timon (Tih-moan) Parris was a starting offensive tackle and defensive tackle at Floral Park. At only 255 pounds as a high school senior, he went overlooked as a recruit and didn’t receive any FBS-level scholarship offers, signing with FCS-level Stony Brook. After redshirting in 2013, Parris earned a starting job as a redshirt freshman, splitting his time between left and right tackle. He started all 10 games as a left tackle in 2015 and earned Second Team All-CAA honors. Parris again started every game as a junior, taking home First Team All-CAA honors. He started the first eight games at left tackle in 2017 before a season-ending injury, but he still took home First Team All-CAA and multiple All-American honors. Parris earned an invitation to the 2018 Senior Bowl, but was unable to participate due to injury.

 

HT WT ARM HAND WING 40-YD 20-YD 10-YD VJ BJ SS 3C BP COMBINE 6055 312 33 7/8 09 3/8 79 3/4 No workout (right ankle) 27 PRO DAY N/A (only 85% healthy in his return from injury)

 

STRENGTHS: Excellent set-up quickness...clean movements in his kickslide with bounce in his feet...flexible hips to take away rush angles...able to pull/trap and hook edge defenders...rangy to maintain pocket depth and block on the move...clear leadership traits and takes it personally when the quarterback gets hit...awareness has shown steady improvement...works to run his feet as a drive blocker once he latches on...flashes nasty on-field temperament...four-year starter, starting his career with 41 consecutive starts, mostly at left tackle, but does have snap experience on the right side.

 

WEAKNESSES: Upper body leaner, forgetting his feet and lunging...doesn’t use consistent knee-bend to sink, softening his anchor...tardy punch/hands and often waits for the pass rusher to initiate before reacting...get-in-the-way type of blocker and needs to add more controlled aggression to his skill-set...doesn’t bury or finish to the ground, giving rushers second-chance opportunities...foot quickness to climb, but often late and unbalanced vs. linebackers at the second level...his negative reps on tape are usually a result of him playing unsure of himself...missed the final five games of his career after suffering a fractured fibula in his right leg (Oct. 2017),

 

which also kept him out of the Senior Bowl...faced one FBS-level opponent each of his four seasons (Connecticut, Toledo, Temple and South Florida), but most of his experience has come vs. FCS-level talent.

 

SUMMARY: A four-year starter at Stony Brook, Parris was a fixture at left tackle for the Seawolves, lining up primarily in a two-point stance. He started every game since his redshirt freshman season (41 straight contests) until his broken leg as a senior put him on the shelf. Parris is a light-footed athlete with the kickslide quickness to protect the edge and match whatever rushers throw at him. While he often looks effortless in his movements, extended film review reveals frequent issues with his timing, balance and hand technique in both his pass-sets and as a run blocker. Overall, Parris looks the part with the tools that warrant a NFL team investing in his future, projecting as a development prospect who might push for starting reps in year two or three – should be the first player in school history selected in the NFL Draft.

Brugler. ranked Welsh as the 8th best guard in the draft

 

8. SEAN WELSH | Iowa 6026 | 306 lbs. | rSR. Springboro, Ohio (Springboro) 10/13/1994 (age 23.6) #79

BACKGROUND: A three-star offensive guard recruit out of high school, Sean Welsh was a four-year letterwinner at Springboro, helping the team go from 3-7 in 2011 to a perfect 10-0 record in 2012. As a senior captain, he played both ways and earned Second Team all-state honors. Welsh collected over a dozen scholarship offers and committed to Iowa over Miami (Fla.), Louisville and Kentucky. After redshirting in 2013, he started nine games as a redshirt freshman, seven at left guard and two at right guard. Welsh started all 14 games as a sophomore, primarily at left guard while also filling in at right tackle. He played 12 games as a junior (missed one game due to injury), starting 11 games at right guard and one at right tackle to earn Third Team All-Big Ten honors. Welsh played in all 13 games as a senior, starting 10 games at right guard and three at right tackle to earn Second Team All-Big Ten honors. He accepted his invitation to the 2018 Senior Bowl.

 

HT WT ARM HAND WING 40-YD 20-YD 10-YD VJ BJ SS 3C BP

COMBINE 6026 306 32 10 1/4 PRO DAY

76 1/4

5.39 3.08 1.82 25 08’07” 4.81 7.90 20 5.28 3.03 1.79 - - - - 22

 

STRENGTHS: Barrel-chested frame...core strength required for interior line work...owns shock absorbers for arms/hands to hold his ground vs. bull rushers...decent bend and balance to stay on his feet...gets the job done on pulls/traps in short areas, picking up steam with each step...works hard to maintain leverage and play with fundamentals...quick to diagnose and counter, understanding protections to stymie rushers...plays a physical, but also cerebral brand of football...senior captain and draws praise from his coaches for his toughness and hard-working hustle...started 48 games at the college level with functional experience at both guard spots and outside at tackle – also took practice snaps at center.

 

WEAKNESSES: Not physically imposing with average mass and shorter arms...sets high and needs to drop his butt at contact...late to protect vs. inside rush...spends too much time on the ground, losing balance through contact...not a rangy player and late climbing to cut off linebackers...wandering hands on the move, struggling to land punches vs. moving targets...latches on in the run game, but doesn’t consistently move defenders from the spot...left the team in the spring of 2015 and summer of 2016 due to his battle with depression and is currently managing his illness with medication.

 

SUMMARY: A four-year starter at Iowa, Welsh was a valuable blocker for the Hawkeyes due to his ability to plug holes across the offensive line. He spent most of his time at left or right guard, but often kicked out to tackle as an injury replacement. Welsh courageously went public with his battle with depression and hopes to be an advocate for all those battling mental issues. He is heavy-legged and lacks the brute power to overwhelm defenders, but he can mask some of those deficiencies with his savvy blocking style and toughness. Overall, Welsh is best in a phone booth where he can tie up rushers and his positional flexibility boosts his NFL grade, projecting as a back-up guard or center.

GRADE: 5th Round
