Thought I'd start a thread for probable later round guys that people find intriguing.
I don't know if he'll work out, but Deuce Vaughn from Kansas State is just so fun to watch. The 5'5" is a tough sell, but his low center of gravity and good balance let him make defenders look silly all the time. Could he be what Felton was supposed to be? Would his "getting lost" by defenders behind the OL be an advantage?
Just came across Derek Parish from Houston. He's a DL/LB/FB, basically just a do-it-all football player. Mainly have watched him at DE. He's a bit undersized on the edge and missed most of last season with a biceps injury, but his game against Texas Tech was pretty epic. 11 tackles, 6.5 TFLs, 4.5 sacks, and a forced fumble. Could be a core special teamer, while providing pass rush depth, and saving a spot on not needing a FB-only guy.
Seems like every year during the draft process some guy does something (face mask bong), failed drug test etc.
I am like what is wrong here? You get a scholarship. You go to college to play football with the hope of being drafted. Getting the opportunity to make generational money.
And you go to a pro day out of shape? Fail a drug test? Get arrested? Whatever.
People would die for that kind of chance.
I really do NOt get it.
I was told "you can always control two things; your attitude and your effort."
Players who make these types of decisions. I would not draft them.
Trying to find late round defensive linemen I like has been a struggle. I started looking at potential DE to DT converts and may have found a target. Tyler Lacy, DL, Oklahoma State looks interesting. He was listed as a DE at the combine, but he played all over the line for Okie St. Missed some time this season with a leg injury, but was able to perform at the combine. Motor looks great and I like his physicality. More a complementary piece than a guy that's going to put up stats, but I feel like with Myles and Ogbo that's fine.
