[QUOTE="OldSchool101, post: 1004138, member: 10086"] Just some updated thoughts after some early and limited looks in pads…. [B]1.13: L. Van Ness [/B] So far he’s exactly what I envisioned. A fantastic athlete that won in college primarily on athleticism. He was relatively inexperienced in overall playing time and he’ll need some time, but the upside is huge once he has a full arsenal of pass rush moves and has experience at the NFL pace. His ability to play across the Defensive front is critical to his learning curve. Several X-NFL guys who studied his film thought he was better served at playing off Guards. Looks like they’ll get their wish. [B]2.42: L. Musgrave[/B] He’s basically a TE that simulates as a huge WR athletically. He’s already laid a few good blocks in PS and his stride once he has the ball is deceptive. He ran away from a LB who was running full tilt at him when he got that 1st down at the 2 yard line. That LB never would’ve caught him alone. [B]2.50: J. Reed [/B] [I]Prototypical Slot with return ability He’s fast and furious and he’s shown to offer immediate contributions in our Receiving game. He’ll get plenty of looks early and often if he keeps coming up big. [/I] [B]3.78: T. Kraft [/B] Looks like a TE who might need a little more time acclimating. He’s used his size to dominate in HS and FCS ball, but now the competition is much closer in size and much faster and he’s finding out it’ll take a full arsenal of learned skills to compliment that brute strength. He’ll need a year or 2 if he’s going to fully flourish in the NFL. Fortunately for Kraft, we are now down a veteran TE and he’s the next man up, the million dollar question is can he be relied upon to accelerate his learning curve. [B]4.116: C. Wooden [/B] Comes “as advertised”. Good interior integrity [B]5.149: S. Clifford [/B] That 5 years of college ball and leadership shows up on the field immediately. He’s a baller, he just needs some refinement. [B]5.159: D. Wicks[/B] He’s what you’d expect from an earlier Day 3 player. Consistent and flashes of bigger play ability. He just needs to stay healthy and gain experience. [B]6.179: K. Brooks[/B] This guy translates really Well for coming from a weaker College Conference. I have him equal to or possibly better than Wooden thus far. 3 QB hits 1 TFL 1 PD He’s already gotten started [B]6.207: A. Carlson [/B] Shaky start, but responds well to pressure. He has a huge leg that sends Kickoffs past the paint. If you can make a pair of FG that would be good from 60 yards, there’s no reason you can’t get more consistent from 32 yards.
