WEEK TEN
FLORIDA STATE @ LOUISVILLE
Ø LOUISVILLE
SR WR DEVANTE PARKER is my top rated
senior wide receiver and one of the best in the nation. This game was only his
second game back from injury he suffered before the season. Parker is a
physical receiver who wins most contested catches. Parker is an excellent route
runner and is faster than he showed in this game.
Ø LOUISVILLE
SR RB MICHAEL DYER is finally
starting to get back to the level he played at as a true freshman at Auburn.
Dyer left Auburn because of disciplinary issues, and then was kicked out of
Arkansas State before ever seeing the field. By all reports, Dyer has
straightened his life out and has been a model citizen since joining the Cardinals’
program. Dyer does not have breakaway speed, but he is far from being slow. He
runs very physical. He gets very skinny when attacking the line of scrimmage. I
don’t know if Dyer is a Top-100 prospect, but he will contribute at the next
level.
CINCINNATI @ TULANE
Ø TULANE JR CB
LORENZO DOSS isn’t much of a prospect
at this stage for me. He has solid cover skills, but nothing that jumps out and
says “HEY! DRAFT ME!” At only 168 pounds, he could also stand to gain a little
weight. Doss would be best served at staying at Tulane for his senior season.
LA-MONROE @ TEXAS A&M
Ø LA-MONROE SR
QB PETE THOMAS has great size at 6’5”
220 pounds. He has a weird looking three quarter-side arm release. He has
adequate athletic ability. Thomas is a multi-transfer player. He is likely an
undrafted free agent prospect.
WASHINGTON @ COLORADO
Ø WASHINGTON
JR CB MARCUS PETERS is a phenomenal
defender. Peters has great ball skills and closing speed. Peters is top-notch
in press coverage. Peters could be drafted as high as the top ten, but could
fall because of some off-field baggage.
NC STATE @ SYRACUSE
Ø NC STATE SR
OT ROB CRISP was once considered a
top ten tackle prospect. Crisp has suffered through multiple injuries in his
career. He has decent power, but his athleticism has suffered because of the
injuries. He is a late round guy at best.
HARVARD @ DARTMOUTH
Ø HARVARD SR
DE ZACH HODGES is a player I need to
see at the Senior Bowl (or another all-star game). Hodges shows great quickness
and hand usage, but in this game, I didn’t see a finisher. Barring injury, I
think we will see him in Mobile.
HOUSTON @ SOUTH FLORIDA
Ø HOUSTON SR
ILB DERRICK MATTHEWS did not play in
this game. After doing more research on the subject, Matthews was lost for the
season with a torn ACL about three weeks ago. Matthews was already undersized,
and now he must overcome the injury during the pre-draft process.
STANFORD @ OREGON
Ø STANFORD JR
WR TY MONTGOMERY is more of an “offensive
weapon” than a wide receiver. He doesn’t do anything do anything at wide
receiver particularly well. Montgomery is electric with the ball in his hands. He
is a dynamic return man. Montgomery is a player you want on your team, because
of his ability to change the game.
TENNESSEE @ SOUTH CAROLINA
Ø TENNESSEE SR
ILB A.J. JOHNSON is a steady player.
Johnson isn’t flashy, but he makes tackles all over the field. Johnson has good
range. His position has been somewhat devalued at the NFL level. Johnson at
worst will make a squad on special teams.
COLORADO STATE @ SAN JOSE STATE
Ø SAN JOSE
STATE JR RB TYLER ERVIN jumped onto
my radar in this game. Ervin has great acceleration. He is listed as a wide
receiver on the Spartan’s roster, but it is clear he has found a home at
running back. Ervin has great hands, but that is expected from a player that
has made the conversion he has made. I expect him to return for his senior
season and be a name to look for during the next draft cycle.
UTAH @ ARIZONA STATE
Ø UTAH SR WR
DRES ANDERSON will miss the rest of
the season after he injured his knee. Anderson is the son of former NFL wide
receiver Flipper Anderson. He will hopefully be able to work out for teams
before the draft. Before the injury, I had Anderson rated in the 4th
to 5th round range.
