2021 'Who are you watching?' NFL prospect thread.

Barmore may go first round as the best DT in this year's draft.
Barmore's quickness surprised me. Even made me think of Aaron Donald a couple times...
... then I came to my senses.

Donald is 6'1", 280. But since you mention it, Barmore's serious power and quickness was amazing. Barmore is 6'5", 315.
Just...amazing to watch him dominate.

Say what?
No seriously, what were you trying to say?
Kareem Jackson
Dre Kirkpatrick
Dee Milliner
Marlon Humprhey
Javier Arenas
Cyrus Jones (60)
Trevon Diggs (51)
I included a couple picks just outside the top 50. But those are the CB's selected from Bama in the top 50 range. Outside of Humphrey, isn't a pro-bowler to be found. Milliner a regarded bust. Kirkpatrick, Jackson, Arenas all drafted well above how they've played. NE shipped Jones after after 1 season and jury is still out on Diggs.
In short, Bama corners haven't been very good in the NFL.

You mentioned Barmore. How have their DTs fared?

I'm looking at midround DB's. Someone who I feel can step in at the #3 CB, but also gives me some scheme flexibility too. Been watching this kid a good deal this morning and I really love what I see so far.
Kary Vincent, DB, LSU. (#5) Or as I like to call him - New Badger
@ 24 seconds. Carries Ceedee Lamb in quarters and stays in his pocket. Not easy, just ask the NFL.
@ 42 seconds. Really impressive here. Ends up dropping into a deep 1/3 on a zone replacement, gets his eyes back to the action, covers ground being just inside that hash and doesn't just deny the home run shot - He turns it into a possession going the other way. This kid can MOVE.
@ 1:28 Again draws Ceedee in quarters. OU really went at Kary and paid the price for it, I just don't think Sooners coaches appreciated his abilities. Either that or they wanted to take advantage of his size. (5'10 190). As a "smaller" DB (Fuck you Tour, I'm every bit of 5'11).. I LOVE seeing these guys play "bigger" than they are. Looks like a little post-corner shot here and Kary is all over this one.
@ 2:12 Playing the deep 1/3, flows with the rollout and gets downhill to limit the damage on YAC. Shows great willingness to stick his nose in on the run. Actually secures tackles, flys downhill, breakdowns and wraps up VERY well.
@ 2:41 cover 1 with a 5th boundary pressure. Man coverage, does a great job recognizing the route, getting over the rub and again immediately limiting any gain. I can't say again how impressive this is in the modern CFB game. Any time I see DB's WANTING to tackle in open space? yeah, you have my respect.
I'm on board with what I've seen so far and despite him opting out of the 2020 season, this is a DB I'm prioritizing for my mid-round(s) film list. I'm going to pour over everything I can find of his before I move onto another player. But a skill set like this would go a long way to helping the Browns defense.

^^^^^^^^......giving us an entire LSU defensive backfield?
-
I'm still trying to figure out the first round.
I'm down to figuring, so far..... that the list of three players the Browns would draft, given their
late position... can't see any top three or four cb's that are first round cb's falling to the Browns....
Zaven Collins - has been a favorite choice.
Christian Barmore - he's that great on the DL
Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah
one of these three are it, I think. Owusu is a tween lb/SS with 4.4 speed. Smart, intuitive and violent.
Zaven Collins is very fast, big, diagnoses plays, very smart....
and Barmore is a big man that moves like a powerful smaller defensive end.
and don't be surprised if Owusu and Collins are both already gone.
The Browns may have to trade up a bit to have a chance at all three.

Already a long going thread on this. Go read it.

I've been thinking more and more about this, I think Berry loves the power of the draft too much to go blockbuster crazy.
So I can't see more than 10 spots or so, and then only if a kid, who we absolutely love, falls to the middle of the round.
More or less what you are saying... I just don't have any names to link to that scenario as yet.

I usually wait until I research players for the Browns Board mock draft and from FA signings. I learn a lot during those processes about what we need and who looks best where we pick.

OSU News:
Fields declares for Draft. So does Trey Sermon. Also OG Wyatt Davis. Also DB Shaun Wade. Also OC Josh Meyers.
Olave says he is staying at OSU.

Pretty surprised about Olave.
Says a lot about the up and coming QBs I guess at OSU. I would assume he would consider leaving if the next QB didn’t seem to have it.
-
You want an early look? How about this early look: Top QBs that may be available.....in the 2022 NFL draft:
Sam Howell North Carolina
Spencer Rattler Oklahoma......yes....his name is Rattler!!
D'Eriq King Miami Fla
Kedon Slovis USC
Brock Purdy Iowa
Dillon Gabriel UCF

The 2021 Draft has a pretty strong, Day-1, WR contingent in it. Could make economic sense for him to stay at tOSU one more season.
Surprise to me is Josh Meyers. One more year in Columbus polishing his play could assure him of a 1st Round grade.... the kid is that gifted. Right now in a fairly loaded IOL class he's likely a late, Day 2 pick.

Well....sometimes these guys just want to get going and start making money....even if they could get more later by staying in school. It may be all about the 2d contract.....the closer you get to that, if you are any good, the sooner you will make the big money. And not just what you get with the rookie scale.

Agree on Josh Meyers. He’s Probably a first rounder next season with similar play he had this past year.
Olave. More of a calculated risk and many analyst had him at the back end of round 1. OSU is Breaking a new QB...WRs/RBs always a threat for knee Achilles injuries. Olave coming back signaled to me that the next QB is ready and the offense will roll again.
