Risers Sliders Week 10

[RS12]

from week ten.

A’Shawn Robinson/DT/Alabama: Everyone will focus on Robinson getting vertical to block a field goal late in the game but his play leading up to that point was incredibly impressive. Robinson proved he could effectively clog the middle of the line and collect blockers or just as easily collapse the pocket by bull rushing opponents off the ball. Robinson posted two tackles for loss, one coming on a twist where he displayed the ability to easily change direction then tackle the ball handler in the open field. The big defensive lineman is proving himself to be a three down, multi-purpose lineman. Everything I’ve heard since September has Robinson entering the 2016 draft where he’s destined to be a top 20 choice.

Nick Vigil/LB/Utah State: In a bit of a shocker Utah State lost to New Mexico by a single point after missing a field goal during the final minute. Despite this, Vigil once again led the Aggie defense which gave up under 250-yards of total offense. Vigil finished the night with 9 tackles, which gives him a team leading 98 tackles this season. The junior also has 9.5 tackles for loss and a pair of forced fumbles to his credit. He’s a tough, two down defender with terrific instincts and tackling ability. I’m hearing Vigil is seriously considering jumping into next April’s draft, where he projects as a middle round choice.

Kylie Fitts/DE-OLB/Utah: With so much headlining talent on the Utah defense its easy to get lost in the shuffle and that’s exactly what’s happened to Fitts. Yet the junior, who sat out last season after transferring from UCLA, has progressively improved this year. His latest outing included 6 tackles, 1 sack, 1 forced fumble and 1 pass break up during the victory over Washington. That’s 4.5 sacks this season for Fitts who primarily comes off the bench, to go along with 6 pass defenses. He’s a long, angular athlete with good upside and effectively makes plays standing overtackle or coming out of a three point stance. Several weeks ago I was informed Fitts will consider entering the draft if he finishes the season strong and he’s doing exactly that.

Aaron Burbridge/WR/Michigan State: Entering the season Burbridge was completely ignored by scouts despite posting 51 receptions the prior two years. He’s now in the midst of a careercampaign and scouts are intrigued. The senior leads Michigan State in all receiving categories with 62-receptions, 994-receiving yards and 6-scores. Sized well at 6-feet/205lbs, Burbridge is averaging 16 yards per reception and more than 110-receiving yards each game. He’s always been a sure handed wide out and the addition of his vertical pass catching skill plus stepping up as the Spartans top offensive threat will surely push him into the late rounds.

Josh Ferguson/RB/Illinois: Ferguson, who’s been struggling with a shoulder injury this season, returned after a three week absence and dominated the scene.

He's a yucky 1Tech. We don't need those.

no sir,we like them light and nimble like Nick Hayden.i remember Stephen jones justifying passing on talented 1-tech in the early Rds and he said we could draft them in the 7th RD ,how is that working out MR jones?.the 1 tech position has doomed our Defense and will continue to do so until we invest in it.for that to happen we need to get rid of Marinelli and his idiotic philosophy.

probably won't be on the Cowboys draft board.

Exactly. We need to run Jimmy's/Zimmer's version of the 4-3 where they have 3 pass-rushing studs lined up with a dominant 1T that contributes to the pass rush by pushing the pocket with power, while ALWAYS commanding a double team. Yes, Crawford IS struggling some - but, he's also getting doublet teamed WAY MORE than the scheme dictates. The WHOLE POINT of the scheme is to create consistent 1-on-1 match ups for the 3T.

I don't know, is he a one-technique?

AShawn Robinson changed his diet and trimmed a lot of bad weight over the summer and now playing lights out at Bama. That's the main reason he's climbing up the draft boards.

Couple more big time games from him, he'll no doubt become a top 5 pick in the draft.
