DawgTalkers.net Forums The Archives 2015 NFL Season The NFL Draft 2015 1 prospect a day - DE/OLB Vic Beasley

Ok, easy concept. We are how many days away from the draft? 100+ probably. How about we watch some tape on as many prospects as possible leading up to the draft using:
http://draftbreakdown.com. As hte title says "one prospect a day" until draft weekend. Maybe we can speed up later.

What I'm interested in: obviously, if you want those players to be Browns and if so give them some sort of grade. Be it in form of a short text or round value. Also, to make discussions possible and to be fair please post the cut ups viewed on which your evaluation was based. Also, feel free to open these threads on other players. Not sure I will be able to be around every day the next few weeks.

I'll start with DE/OLB Vic Beasley

Tell me what you see. I'll try to post my take later or in the upcoming days

What's your grade on Beasley?

As a Clemson fan I keep up with their players and some of their game day stats and it looks like his production fell this year compared to last year.

He has the ideal height but the ideal weight for a 3-4 defensive end and edge rusher only weighing 235 lbs. Beasley has a good first step (but so does Mingo) but he probably won't be over powering to many good tackles in the NFL.

I probably wouldn't take him any sooner than the 2nd round unless he has a phenomenal pro-day and combine.

Just realized that Joe Montana's boy is in this draft, Nick Montana.

Not sure I'd want a QB that does this

Nick Montana spikes the football on 4th down......LOL

that might be a little harsh,, not sure of the circumstances that lead up to that.

Just watched a highlight video on him, I've seen worse..

He's Barkevious Mingo with even less strength, if you can believe it.

No thanks. We need someone who is a physical beast who will punish the other team. Like Fowler. Not another situational pass rusher.

Only was able to see his snaps vs FSU and Clemson lost the game because of him with 3 big runs to his side. He doesn't look like a 3 down player to me and looked as bad as Jarvis Jones vs the run.

As a rusher, if he doesn't get an edge off the snap, he'S toast. He has a nice burst and spin move, but the rest of his game looks bad. Lacked situational football

Good thread idea.

I live in SC and have seen several of his games.

I think Beasley is a very good pass rusher. He is very explosive coming out of his stance. He is somewhat unorthodox w/his moves, but he is creative due to his lack of size and strength.

He gets mauled at times by bigger offensive lineman. He is one of those guys that will shine on some plays and get obliterated on others.

I do think he will certainly be a first round pick and maybe even top 10-12. I do not think he is a great match for the Browns because we have a similar player in Mingo.

Wanna do Gregory next?

I watched that FSU game and he got swallowed by their LT...( though he did beat him once with a speed move, but it seemed the LT was looking for some deep side help from the RB).

Has nice burst off the ball, but was too high and once engaged did not have the strength to either separate or push back... Mingo 2.0.

Sure, go ahead. As I said, no need to wait for me to open threads on prospects. I would just like that the discussions are based on tape. Would be cool to have around 100 of those threads by draft weekend. We can always come back to those whenever there's news on the prospect or posters get to evaluate them. Doesn't have to be for only one day. That's not what I had in mind.

I probably would have suggested Fowler Jr, because tbbd mentioned him in here, but Gregory is ok too. Watching a handful of same position players in a row makes sense to get a better feel and make positional rankings

The FSU OT was Cam Erving, OT turned C. He dominated Beasley the entire 1st Qtr, but also got some help. In the 2nd Qtr he struggled more often and I can see why he was moved off LT. He's getting rave reviews as a C. We will see when we get to him...

Never said I wanted him just pointed out he was in the draft. Don't know a thing about him. Joe was drafted in the third round, so nobody expected him to set the NFL on fire.

Beasely just isnt a good fit for anyone. I dont think he can beat NFL tackles. I have a similar grade on him as I did Mingo and thats a 4th round project.

No Thanks
