This is actually interesting. A couple years ago prior to injuries he was talked up as a top 5 pick.
Yup. Anyone who likes good DB play is interested in Ponds.Anybody interested in a 5'8" cornerback?
From Dane...
D'Angelo Ponds CB Indiana
The size is the size — there’s nothing Ponds can do about that. An NFL scout told me during the season that Ponds stood 5-8 1/4 and 174 pounds with 29 5/8-inch arms, so I expect his combine measurements to be close.
But I’m more interested in his on-field performance. He was a state champion in the 100 meters (10.37) and should perform well in position drills.
In this draft yesI've been pretty checked out of draft season so far, but I think R Mason Thomas has some special traits. Looking forward to the testing. Don't think with his size we will see a Ware-like rise to 12, but is 20 possible with a 4.4?
the top half of the first rd is weak; so it is very possible someone will fly up to top ten or even higher from low initial evaluationsIn this draft yes
He's supposedly 6-2 249, the height seems fine if that's accurate. Arm length is more important to scouts. Lower height can give the pass rusher better leverage vs. OL.I've been pretty checked out of draft season so far, but I think R Mason Thomas has some special traits. Looking forward to the testing.
