Bob McGinn Scout's Comments on Jaylon Smith

[Aven8]

Wasn't there a time Will McClay was considered smart?

Yep, when he coached the Desparados.

 

[NickyDawg]

Kind of like our owner

 

[Fletch]

Claiborne scored 4 on the Wonderlic.

4 is so low it borders in the level of brainlessness where it's difficult for someone to breath or blink without actively trying hard.

Jaylon smith was the best player in the draft but we should not have made this pick,we are not in a position to make this pick.

 

[pancakeman]

You did 285% better than Mo. Think about that for a minute.

But don't hurt yourself.

I agree ........ love the player ....... but weird almost careless timing in our draft

Not in the 2nd but i always wanted Jaylon, he's the best LB in the draft and will be great for years to come. I personally wanted Billings in the 2nd rd and then get Smith in the 4th.

[Tenkamenin]

Yes

 

[GroundZero1970]

Well atleast we didn't draft a kicker in the 2nd round

 

[JoeKing]

If this draft was a horse, I'd shoot it... put it out of it's misery.

 

[waving monkey]

I haven't laughed out this hard in a long time.

2. JAYLON SMITH, Notre Dame (6-2, 238, 4.5, 2-4): Third-year junior. "He was far and away the best," said one scout. "He wasn't just the best by default. He was the best in an excellent group of guys. It's just a risk-reward thing now." After being smothered by Ohio State LT Taylor Decker in the Fiesta Bowl, he suffered nerve damage in addition to two torn knee ligaments. "He's what people are looking for," another scout said. "He's just great in space. But that injury isn't good. You don't have control of your foot. It just drops." Finished with 284 tackles (23 ½ for loss), 4 ½ sacks and 6 big plays. Wonderlic of 18. "Not the brightest cookie in the room," a third scout said. "Probably have to line him up. I don't know if he's a natural player but once he sees it he can find it and go get it. Now he's got the knee and he's not a very bright kid. I wouldn't touch a kid like that. I have no idea where he goes. He's off my board. He's a run and hit 'will' linebacker." From Fort Wayne, Ind.

that concerns me more than the injury

Bob McGinn needs some glory
hole

 

[mattjames2010]

And it's on full display with his field awareness. Be ready for the kid to bite often when it's play action.

Lotta false steps. His pass rushing hasn't been mentioned but he's insanely good at it. Maybe his strongest ability.
