A 41" vert for Nolan Smith is just comical. He is an explosion machine.

Will McDonald also jumped out of gym.

I’d bet the Bills would really like that pick back so not sure Oliver is the best endorsement. He’s been fine, but nowhere near top 10 pick

It’s easy to look back now and say that because we‘ve seen the player that Oliver has become. But he was every bit a top prospect at the time. Kancey almost certainly won’t go that high but he will carry a 1st round grade for a lot of teams. And I think he’ll be a top 20 player on this team‘s board.

Nolan Smith is going to shoot past 26 isnt he? this always to the Zone pet cat.

 

[xwalker]

Beton

Yeah. He'd be a tough pass for me at 26 but Ivan Pace is a similar player and can be had a coupla rounds later.

Pace will be drafted as an off-ball LB.

 

[darthseinfeld]

Gervon!

He is going to shoot up boards. Probably out of our range now

Adebawore at 4.54?? Wow. Kid has power too.

 

[WillieBeamen]

Nolan Smith is killin it

 

[Risen Star]

Nolan Smith a Moses Malone. 4.44

Pace is an off ball LBr that can blitz really well.

Nolan actually plays more edge.

Different player, and way way more valuable IMO.

They're similar in size, rush the passer and play the run well, that's all. Like I said, I'd take Smith at 26. But Pace is a monster and I think underrated, and I have no idea how he'll test but... 136 tackles, 20 TFL, 9 sacks. He had, like, 53 pressures or something, and the guy is relentless. He plays HARD.

Micah was an off-ball LB too. Quinn knows how to use those guys.

Smith just ran 4.44, btw.

NOLAN SMITH 4.4s…I want him.

 

[VACowboy]

Pace will be drafted as an off-ball LB.

So was Micah.

 

[darthseinfeld]

Smith is going top 15

Smith is going top 15

I know Georgia rotates its DL a lot but does it not bother anyone that Smith never had more than 4.5 sacks?

5’10 with 30” arms. Thats an extreme uphill battle to be a pass rusher in the nfl. Hes going to have to be an off-ball LB that excels as a blitzer. No way you can line him up on the edge

honestly i have seen 3-4 Georgia games and he rarely stood out,i guess its due to their rotation and strong roster.

Not really. UG DL, never seen to put stats up in college

Wow. I thought he was 6-0. He's a hell of a player but he'll never be a Cowboy.

Ya he isnt a guy like Drew Sanders. He is a more off ball LB

I hear ya, just think a LBr that is a good blitzer is a whole different animal than someone who can be a legit edge threat.
