DawgTalkers.net Forums The Archives 2014 NFL Season NFL Draft 2014 Link to Videos of Nearly Every Draft Prospect

Just figured I'd put this here for people who like to watch film. It is basically a database linking to youtube videos for most of the top draft prospects:

WOW this is amazing! I don't think I'll have a life anymore.

Awesome. Thanks for sharing this!

Thanks man.............very nice.

This should be a sticky so it can be utilized easily for the next few months.

no time to open now and view as I will be wanting to look for hours.

Thanks for sharing and one question - are these game videos or just high lights?

It's better (for volume). He cuts up all the plays a player participates in in a game and sews them together. Nothing beats watching the whole game for the context and anything that might be left out in the cut-up (sideline reports, injuries, physchological context, etc) but for watching a lot of stuff on a particular guy it's invaluable. There are a couple guys who have been doing this for years (this one and JMPasq / JMPasqDraftJedi) and now a couple other guys are getting into it. The two big guys have twitter feeds and announce when they have a new one come out.

I would recommend looking at the Mettenberger ones. His arm is a rifle with the footballs being bullets, except he has touch on the short passes and some really good accuracy.

Thanks for the link

It's funny, the other day, I read an article about Johnny Manzeil that stated he was 5-11 and this site has him at 6-1.

Great site. Been using it for the past drafts too.

I've randomly watched some specs I was curious about. Watched almost all the FS and it's another underwhelming class. Here's my take, fwiw:

- I like Pryor, he's very aggressive, constantly attacking the ball, almost to a fault, but am not sure he's worthy of a 1st. Guess position scarcity could make it happen though.

- like Brooks too, but he's a mid rounder. There's something about his game that doesn't convince me.

- I've been looking for a sleeper at FS, but was underwhelmed with the slated late round options. Only guy that really left an impression was Avery Patterson from Oregon, who looked very good in coverage with great feel for zone positioning, constantly moving while keeping his eyes on the QB. Too bad he's 5'9, cause dude can play. He's also much more physical than the AVG FS in this class. He's a guy I'll keep an eye on for sure

Other's I watched:

- serious sleeper alert on ILB James Morris from Iowa. He's not a thumper, but dude can cover and blitz from the ILB spot, a rare combination. I watched 2 games and was impressed, then I looked up his stats. Dude had 17 TFL, from the ILB spot (!), that's as much or more as guys like Van Noy, Attaochu, Dee Ford, who's main job is to blitz from much better angles.
Iowa had a top 10 D, but somehow next to no players from that D are considered draftable per draftscout/cbs. Their SS T.Miller is also much better than what he's ranked. Same with OLB Kirksey, although he looks more like a 4-3 OLB only.

- Gators C J.Harrison is another player that is much better than his "ranking". I watched for their G Halapio and Harrison was the better player….I would not draft Halapio btw. He was "ok", but don't see much NFL upside. Anyway, watch Harrison. I saw a pretty good C prospect.

- sold on CB EJ Gaines. I would draft him as high as 71 and would not be disappointed if we'd draft him at 26 or 35. He's a top 50 player imho

That's it for now…so much more to watch...

Bumping this with my AJ McCaron Review.

Strengths:
- He's a little more mobile than he looks.
- Smart, senses pressure well, knows when to throw it away.
- Arm Strength is adequate, not elite
- He's tall and had a ton of wins.


Weaknesses
- Accuracy issues, high, low
- Footwork breaks down, throws off back foot when faced with pressure.
- Short arms some throws with pressure
- Too quick to check down, goes from read 1 to checkdown too often.
- Doesn't throw well on the run at all.
- So much talent on Alabama, he checks it down and it;s a first down almost every time.

Watch: 0:50 - 1:10, just ew.

Also Watch 4:55 - 5:05, ew.

Notes:

Despite playing at Alabama, he spend a lot of time in Shotgun.
He is very much a one read QB, he is #1 target -> Checkdown
3:40 - He throws a Brandon Weeden Flip pass.



Conclusion: Game Manager, he looks like a 6'6 Brian Hoyer, minus the lightning quick release. He is a prototype QB, size wise but he is mostly a one read QB despite his more pro style offense. His accuracy needs work, he shy's away from contact in the pocket and his arm is average.

Maybe he's Tom Brady, but he needs works.It all comes down to what type of person he is. Is he a grinder or is he just average, that will dictate his career path as with most players. His upside is high, but his current state isn't worth a first round pick.

I am a member of another site and a guy took Tevin Reese with a 2nd round pick so I had to watch his tape.

At 163lbs he isn't likely to last in the NFL. I'm not arguing it's not possible, just improbable.


He's fast, he runs go and curls, lazy curls at that. Not once did I see him take any sort of hits over the middle. Hands are beyond suspect, NFL corners will eat him up at the LOS. Despite his speed, there isn't a double move in sight, maybe once in three full games I saw (just watched) on him.



He's fast though. Maybe he's Desean Jackson or maybe he's Jacoby Ford.

Keith Wenning?

I saw the Browns brought him in for a visit so I figured I'd have a look.

Pros
Immediately, (first 5 plays) impressed with his deep ball. Great touch and placement.
If you watch his game against Eastern Michigan, wow, his deeps throws are fantastic. Small windows, over the shoulder throws, deep, Deep out routes, outside the hash with velocity and touch.
Plus arm, one of the better in the draft.
Throws well on the run.
Hand size is good at an even 10



Cons
Ball placement on short and intermediate routes isn't very good, lot's of behind, in front, too high type throws.
Erratic footwork probably causes the above.
Not a great athlete
Almost exclusively works out of shotgun.
Level of competition is horrendous.
Ran slow at the combine and doesn't seem much quicker on tape.




Question marks:

Seems to at least try to manipulate the safeties with his eyes but, it's hard to tell if he is actually going through progressions or just trying to hold the safety.

System, spread, shotgun.
