Is J.C. Copeland our Vontae Leach?

He is way overweight. He won't amount to much unless he has some discipline and gets his weight down to 260, which is still huge for a FB. Word is he has no such discipline and his weight fluctuates big time throughout the season.

It's hard to keep a FB on your roster, no matter how big, when he has bad hands and is so heavy that he can pop but not maintain a block.

I think he could be a stud short yardage blocker, but Dallas has some real work to do with him.

I think Trey Millard was a better weapon, he is a crushing blocker. I love FBs. This excited me as much as some picks do. We improved the team by getting him.

Parcells said that Roy Williams was a few biscuits shy of a LB...this guy is a few biscuits shy of an OG

I just read that he was originally recruited as a defensive tackle then converted to FB. Could this be a Marinelli pick?

Just seen a highlight reel with high school clips of him at DT

Who else is excited about this UDFA? He was projected to go in the 6th or 7th round. He's one of the most physical players in the SEC. If he can keep his weight down, he will be an enforcer and tone setter for us on offense. This is a mean, nasty dude.

STRENGTHS: Thickly-built throughout and carries a lot of weight on his frame. Long arms and big hands. Hungry ballcarrier and the type of runner defenders don?t enjoy tackling. Keeps his pads low and legs churning to power through and over bodies. Truck in short-yardage and goal line situations. Blows up defenders and constantly looking for the big hit. Highly competitive with a non-stop aggressive play style. Plays angry and tenacious, bringing an intimidation factor to the field. Quality teammate with a likeable personality.

WEAKNESSES: Extreme weight fluctuation with a playing weight between 250 and 290 pounds the past few seasons. Not a technically sound blocker and looks to de-cleat instead of engaging. Too often goes for the knockout blow instead of sustaining and driving his man out of the play. Needs to keep his intensity under control post whistle ? several personal foul penalties on his resume and plays like a volcano ready to erupt. Plays tight and won?t easily turn directions. Inconsistent ballskills with questionable ball security. Only 7 career catches with inconsistent hand-eye coordination and deficient route running ability. Minimal college production with only 92 career rushing yards and 7 scores.

"Intimidating?" I shake just looking at him. If I saw him coming down the street, I would cross over to the other side. He is going to put a charge in our goal line offense.

Millard to the 49ers irritated me. They had already drafted Brandon Thomas, Aaron Lynch and some other players that I liked.
