Camp Ramsey
-
Ramsey has potential but I am not sold on him. I would rather take Jack but that is just me.
-
What I love about Goff's deep ball is his ability to drop it in the bucket. He throws the ball high enough for the receiver to run under it, and that's actually more rare than many think.
We need the draft to get here already. The really sad thing to me is that our team has so many holes, that one draft and one year of free agency isn't enough to make us competitive. Obviously anything can happen, but when you look at the talent on our team, it doesn't look good.
Maybe that would be a good thread to start? "The things it would take for our team to be competitive."

Short thread... "Vastly improved player evaluation and time."
Astonished you'd entertain the thought that this was potentially a one-year turnaround...

But all we need are some playmakers and the glaring deficiencies on OL, DL, and TE/RB will cease to exist because I don't like talking about them!

Louis Riddick had a much different take on Ramsey today on NFL Insiders. Called Ramsey's rise to the #1 overall conversation measurement hype.
Riddick bases his boards upon game tape plays made, not athleticism. Went as far as saying that Ramsey's athleticism worked against him at FSU as he did not need to learn his craft. Sounded eerily Gilbert-esque.
Here are his top five DBs of 2016:
5. Hargreaves (CB) FL
4. Ramsey (CB/FS) FSU
3. Apple (CB) OSU
2. Jackson III (CB) UH
1. Karl Joseph (SS) WVU
I think it's safe to say that placing Joseph at #1 is an even bigger surprise than ranking Ramsey at 4. But Riddick called Joseph a thumper that is made for any team that wants to toughen up its defense.
-
Based on what I heard actually watching college football last year, that honestly seems accurate to me, Tour.
-
I watched a fair bit of WVU football. Joseph, when healthy, was in the middle of every play and thumped people.

I saw Hargreaves get beat repeatedly in UF's bowl game against Michigan. I'm not taking him early.

You could probably go back in time, and find another cb who was a star college player,
about the same size.
The other player back in the day, was very close to being the same height. Ramsey is
almost 10 lbs heavier.
The back in time cb was outstanding athletically. Ran a 4.21. Probably didn't have to have outstanding
technique in college.
Ramsey "only" ran a 4.45. The other player is.... Deion Sanders. I have seen a write-up on Ramsey that
compared him to Charles Woodson.

Woodson in his FS days?
Riddick mentioned Deion as he'd heard some compare Ramsey to Sanders. He scoffed at the notion saying Deion was so physically talented with such natural technique that he could fall out of bed and cover the entire route tree of the NL's best on Day 1.
-
But still, Deion wasn't all that much a tackler, not a physical hitter type of player. He wasn't considered a safety type player.
Ramsey is.

"Uses his length exceptionally to press, get his hands on the ball, wrap tackle and shed blocks. Effective dip and bend as an edge blitzer. Extensive special teams experience as a gunner, playing on both kickoff and punt coverages. Playmaker with the ball in his hands, averaging 23.4 yards per return (5/117/2) on turnovers."

What does that mean?
-
Meaning during the season when people were actually watching these guys play and pre-draft/combine hype had yet to enter the equation.
I sit around from 8 AM-1 AM on college football Saturday's. Every single week. I don't miss a big game. Ramsey was certainly a star, but not to the degree that they've been talking him up lately. Not even close IMO.

That happens a lot this time of year.....even more so when it comes to QBs.

Riddick sounds like a guy with a lot of sense.

Where do all the other pundits rank Joseph?

Other than a couple Buckeyes and BAMA players, I can't remember many other players that were hot topics throughout the last college season. Foremost among the others though would have to be the LSU RB, Fournette.

... or at least one QB...
DraftScout has Joseph ranked around the 4th Strong Safety and a 2nd-ish round pick.

Ramsey is not like Sanders.
He is closer to Woodson. But even then (trying not to be too much of a homer) Woodson is a generational player. If they think Ramsey is too, we take him.

I don't even know how to respond to this.

I stopped using draft scout a couple years ago.

Lynch was. Most of last season HE was considered the top QB coming out. Only later did that shift.

Antoine Winfield was a better pass defender than Woodson. But he was a strict cover CB. Woodson played more like a safety.
