2017 NFL draft rounds 4-7

Mike Mayock doesn’t hide his contempt for draft’s circus atmosphere | ProFootballTalk (http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2017/04/29/mike-mayock-doesnt-hide-his-contempt-for-drafts-circus-atmosphere/)

lol apparently mayock bout had it with the show portion of the draft. Kinda would be cool to have him in the organization

It is way overhyped. Most of the kids drafted rounds 5-7 won't get a second contract if they even make the initial team cut. Very few bona fide team changers even in the first three rounds. It is all about $$$$$$$$ and I guess the NFL is either super greedy or super needy. Selling those draft day caps, etc. Eventually this crap is going to die out a bit. The real fans are just going to wait to read about it on the net that night or next day. Making a big production out of it cheapens it to a large degree. But then again, it is really just entertainment. A part of the blame for it getting to where it is at now is us.

Yeah honestly after the first 3-4 rds it's all practice squad guys or career backups. For the most part any way

NT Stevie Tu'ikolovatu. It'll be interesting to see where he goes. We still need a true NT.

Maybe they really like and see potential in Phil Taylor.

If they trust Taylor can stay healthy. *Update* Tampa Bay just took Stevie T.

I have a man crush on Mayock.
I would give my left nut to have him as our GM/draft guru.

Josh Harvey-Clemons

Strengths Rangy, long frame with exceptionally long limbs. Arm length is what offensive line coaches look for in a tackle. Plays the game with edge and embraces physical requirement of the position. First responder who races downhill into the action. Rarely taps the brakes into his tackles. Square-up, wrap-up finisher. Took on blocks with aggressiveness and leverage when asked to play inside linebacker. His long arms help cast wide net as tackler. Rare athleticism for his size. Flips hips for instant change of direction as tackler or in coverage. Excellent range as a tackler. Plays faster than his timed speed. Communicative on the field. Balances attention between quarterback's eyes and assignments around him as two-deep safety. Quick to find coverage work after diagnosing play-action from the box. Adjusts coverage responsibilities based on scrambling direction of quarterback.
Weaknesses Skinny legs. Needs more discipline in playing with inside-out leverage in run support. Downhill GPS to running backs needs fine tuning. Tends to attack at angles under running back, forcing too many diving attempts on perimeter. Can be a little slow hustling back to high safety spot from disguised coverages. Deshaun Watson picked on him in coverage. From single-high position, needs anticipation and earlier response to throws. Will lose sight of deep responsibilities as high safety at times. Panics and grabs when he fears he's beaten. Needs to trust his length and recover speed more often. Dismissed from Georgia after three strikes, including failed marijuana tests.
Draft Projection Round 6-7
Sources Tell Us "I love the athlete and the toughness, but he's a multiple-time (drug) tester on the college level. Those guys have a high rate of testing positive again. I need to do more background work on him but I really worry about suspensions for him." -- AFC North area scout
NFL Comparison Kam Chancellor
Bottom Line Former five-star recruit with an alpha mentality who roams the field with swagger and undeniable intent as a tackler. Has elite size, length and athletic traits, and is a rangy tackler with the ability to cover and blitz. He could be considered by teams as a box safety or hybrid linebacker.

Cool, we drafted a real stoner.

It's a shot in the dark. But hey, if it pans out and he can quit the weed we may have just gotten a huge steal. Sounds like he could be a real enforcer on our back end.
