Tua time!
pretty much my take on the day...
started out with a small school over 6 ft over 200 lb corner in walt aikens...doesnt have great long speed shows fluid hips and feet i do think he's a scheme fit...of the small school dbs i think pierre desir taken just after him has more upside but he's not a scheme fit and so i see why they passed...aikens has pretty average ball skills and awareness i don't see a lot of upside here although he is a little raw and i expect there to be a serious transition jumping up to this level of competition...i don't think he will give jamar taylor a run for his money i just dont see him beating taylor out who's tools are too good but what i do think is he has a real shot to beat out will davis especially if davis hasnt made strength and hand usage strides come this training camp...
will davis the honeymoon is over...
up next arthur lynch tight end 5th round grade seems about right to me in line tight end who can work the underneath routes and intermediate has no stretch the field capability i don't think he will unseat dion sims as the primary in line tight end as i expect sims to have made some real strides in his blocking after an nfl offseason and working on his craft this year but i do think michael egnew has been put on notice...i think lynch has a real shot to make the 53 as worst case the 3rd tight end...not much burst nothing wows you but more polish than egnew...could see a lot of action in 2 tight end sets where we go big and be worked off misdirection and play action in the pass game...
ahh jordan tripp olb the weakside backer group has been put on notice...instincts and awareness finds the football...tested damn well very fluid every down speed...sideline to sideline lb...confident ****y explosive to the ball...i think this kid has real potential to unseat philip wheeler as the starting wolb or get into jelani jenkins run even...but worst case we have a more fluid rangy athletic special teams ace...no doubt in my mind he makes the 53...just a matter of what's it gonna be...all specials or more...does this kid have some mike potential??? i like the pick...this is where i think adding another olb makes sense...day 3
matt hazel imo gives armon binns a run for his money as potential 5th wr...tracks the ball well down the field has plus size and 4.5 speed not a burner but plays as fast as he times i'd say can work inside in the slot and give us a size mismatch like binns and i think he has some vertical ability that binns lacks...does he id coverage and run routes accordingly though??? we' will find out in camp...i dont think binns is particularly adept at that anyways...i know one thing the wr camp competition this year is sure gonna be a fun one...who would have thought 2 years ago we'd be cutting actual pro talent at the position...sure looks like that may be the case now
the 7th round de out of marist i dont know much but it's gonna be an uphill climb to unseat any of the four de's in front of him and be active on game day in 2014...probably looking at the practice squad if anything...good luck denting that game day unit
