Draft Reaction

Crowder's combine numbers are not indicative of his real playing speed. He's no DJax, but he'll easily be one of the fastest players on the field. His quickness and agility are unbelievable.

I know people were talking about Kyshoen in another thread, not sure if these videos have been shared. Quality.

He may be fine now, but teams were probably worried about his long-range durability.

OK thank you these are very helpful details.

Well either it didn't bother him the last two years, or he's tough as nails to fight through the pain. I guess we'll find out if it's a wear and tear issue going forward.

You don't need to be straight line fast from the slot, it's more important to be quick. The speed from Desean and Pierre on the outside opens up so much for Crowder. Teams will need to get up in Crowder's face to disrupt him or he'll tear them up on short slants.

And of course once they get up in his face then you have a mismatch with either Pierre or Deseaon, or Reed over the middle.

Of course, never said a receiver needed to be straight line fast. Just disagree with the statement you made that Crowder is easily one of the fastest on the team.

In my view the best thing Crowder had going from him is he didn't play in a spread so NFL routes and terminology won't be new to him.

But even more then that his quickness should be an asset in special teams punt/kick return.

If he can challenge Roberts for the slot? Awesome.

I like the kid, anyone with the last name Crowder is good with me.

Round 4: Arie Kouandjio, OG, Alabama

Kouandjio is the anti-Brandon Scherff in that he doesn’t look like an athlete on the field, but he was extremely productive against the top level of college football. The Alabama left guard allowed six total pressures all season and finished behind only Laken Tomlinson in pass blocking efficiency. He has his limitations and looked labored when asked to move out into space, but he got the job done when called upon.

Depth Chart Fit: Could see him stealing a starting spot from either Shawn Lauvao or Chris Chester.

Round 5: Martrell Spaight, LB, Arkansas

Came on strong as a run defender at the end of the year with four straight highly graded positively graded games to finish the season. His 11.6 run stop percentage was the 11th best at inside linebacker in the class. Spaight likely fell this far because he was a liability at times in coverage. The Arkansas linebacker’s .99 yards per coverage snap was 34th out of 41 starting inside linebackers in the draft.

Depth Chart Fit: Will push for a starting job, but likely a backup year one and a special teams player.

Round 6: Kyshoen Jarrett, S, Virginia Tech

Graded out just around average against both the run and pass. More of a box safety at Virginia Tech where he spent 54% of his snaps within 8 yards of the line of scrimmage, 16% at corner, and 30% as a deep safety. Jarret’s 7.9 run stop percentage was the fourth best at the position in the draft.

Depth Chart Fit: With little talent at safety I could see him getting snaps with Dashon Goldson, Duke Ihenacho, and Jeron Johnson his competition at the position.

Of course, never said a receiver needed to be straight line fast. Just disagree with the statement you made that Crowder is easily one of the fastest on the team.

I didn't say that, someone else did. I was just pointing out that it's irrelevant to the discussion.

Scott M on the Kevin and Thom show right now......

We have waited SOoooo long to get that kind of attitude on this team!
Wow...
