Discussion of random lower-round prospects
Posted: Fri Jan 18, 2008 1:57 am
We need a thread like this for all those guys (say, Thomas Brown of Georgia, Jacob Hester of LSU, Danny Woodhead of Chadron State) that you'd like to give props to/get information on/attempt to project. Remember: The draft matters. Go deep.
Three guys I like that I want to hear some opinions on:
Haruki Nakamura, FS/KR, Cincinnati (6th-7th round): This guy has always stood out to me every time I watch the Bearcats (I've seen about a half-dozen games over the last couple years). He's always in the right position, he seemingly never gets beat deep, and he's a good return man as well.
Joey Haynos, TE, Maryland (5th-6th round): I hadn't seen Maryland until the Emerald Bowl, but I was impressed by Haynos. He's f**king huge (6-8, 240) and looks to be solid catching the ball. He doesn't have great acceleration and his blocking may need a little work, but it'd be like having a third OT on the line with Haynos.
Geoff Schwartz, OT, Oregon (5th-6th round): Because I'm a homer and I say so. Schwartz, for the first nine weeks of the season, was Oregon's most consistent offensive lineman and he went up against some true talent in the form of Pac-10 DEs. He didn't play well late in the season and he needs to slim down, but I think he has a future as someone's backup RT.
