2021 NFL Draft Day!!

Holy CRAP ....

They didn't go to commercial for the Skins pick ... but DID for the Cowaboysh (as Jerruh calls them). At least on NFL Network.

Don't know much about this kid... needed some good depth and future in the secondary so 🤷

TE, LB, or CB



Another great pick that fills a need. We are upgrading all over the field. Every pick so far could be starting next year.

Hunter Long, TE Boston College is my guess for our next pick.

Samuel Cosmi – T – C grade



I hear what you're saying ... but ...

It kinda feels like you're punishing the Cosmi pick because they didn't draft JOK as BPA.

Any chance that is happening?

Another great pick that fills a need. We are upgrading all over the field. Every pick so far could be starting next year.

Couldn’t agree more. Day 2 for us the last few drafts has given us solid starters. Hoping the same can be said for this draft.

School: Minnesota

Scouting Report
Positives: Michigan transfer who flashes a lot of ability. Physical, mixes it up with receivers, and battles to break up the throw. Slows receivers at the line with a jolt of his hands, runs downfield, and displays a burst to the ball out of his plant. Explosive and flashes on the scene, displaying suddenness in his game. Squares and wraps up tackling.

Negatives: A bit slow transitioning to run with opponents. Does a bit of face guarding. Slow getting his head back around and gives a big cushion.

Analysis: Off the 2019 film, St-Juste showed a lot of talent and upside for the next level. He was a bit disappointing last year, though a large part of that was due to the way he was used as a nickel back rather than a number one or number two corner. He possesses the size and skill to be used in a variety of systems and comes with a large upside for the next level.

Benjamin St-Juste Player Profile
Making it to the NFL is a massive achievement for any college football player. When your journey starts as a Canadian high school player — like Benjamin St-Juste — that path to the NFL Draft is even harder, even longer.

The Minnesota cornerback was a standout player at Cégep Du Vieux High School in Montreal. Despite going 5-4 in his two playing seasons, he demonstrated the play-making ability that would ordinarily have college football programs beating a path to the family doorstep. After a quiet junior year, St-Juste exploded as a senior. He recorded 30 tackles, 9 forced fumbles, 2 interceptions, and 18 pass breakups.

However, the lack of exposure meant that the road was longer, literally. He made multiple trips to college camps in the USA, racking up thousands of miles to make his name known. In early 2017, he traveled nearly 3,000 miles to Oregon for Nike’s The Opening, demonstrating a determination and commitment to succeed.

It was on one of these trips that he would secure his opening in college football. After attending a camp at the University of Michigan, he held a scholarship offer from the Wolverines. Despite being a Division I All-Star Cornerback, and the number one ranked player in Canada, only Michigan and Virginia Tech made offers to the four-star recruit out of Montreal.

Analyzing Benjamin St-Juste’s NFL Draft Profile
The most glaring attribute when evaluating Minnesota cornerback Benjamin St-Juste as a 2021 NFL Draft prospect is his size. Tall at 6’3″, he looks incredibly long and lanky, although he weighs in at 200 pounds. The Senior Bowl confirmed what had been apparent on tape, he is extremely long. Only Georgia cornerback DJ Daniel had a longer wingspan than St-Juste, measuring in with over 80″ wingspan and 32″ arms.

St-Juste puts this to good use in two ways on the field. Firstly, at the line of scrimmage, he uses his length to keep opposition wide receivers at bay in press coverage. There are good examples of him using his long arms to jab the receiver and disrupt his route.

Additionally, he puts his length to good use in coverage. He shows good ability to contest at the catch point although he wasn’t tasked with going up and getting the ball a huge amount in the games studied. The best use of his length is in sticking his arm out to make a play on the ball. This is evidenced by a good number of pass breakups without a career interception.

Throughout his career and particularly at the Senior Bowl, he demonstrates that he can be sticky in coverage. He has loose hips and also exhibits good short-area speed to rapidly close on the intended target. This combination allows him to recover well if required.

What are some potential concerns with Benjamin St-Juste?
Like all prospects at the 2021 NFL Draft, there are areas for improvement and potential concerns and Benjamin St-Juste is no different. Teams will no doubt want to do their due diligence around his 2018 injury, especially given the disputed nature of his departure from Michigan.

Despite possessing good short-area speed and explosion, he lacks elite long speed. This will be particularly concerning given the nature of the NFL as speedy wide receivers become more prominent.

A perceived lack of college production may also have an impact. However, I feel like that could easily be overcome by examining how he impacts the game on tape. Will only playing one full season have a similar impact on his stock?

How bout some Trey Sermon?

Damn it, I really wanted Chazz.

How bout some Trey Sermon?

I would like that , he has incredible balance , speed , power and balance . Would make a big time 1-2 punch with Gibson ! Go Bucks , Hail Skins
