Scout’s Eye: Promising CB Among Undrafted Class

[Doomsday101]

Name: Chris Westry


Position: CB

College: Kentucky

Height/Weight: 6’4/199

Scouting Report:

• A lot of times, a player’s measurements are exaggerated – but not this guy. At 6’4, Westry is incredibly rangy, with long length.
• He’ll need to refine his technique a bit. He tends to grab his man in coverage.
• But he will fight to stay in position.
• You see some start-stop quickness to his game. Can close ground when he has to.
• Despite his large frame, he can move well. He will turn and run with his man.
• There are snaps where his balance is not great, but he moves confidently. He will turn, open his hips and react to what he sees.
• Carries his man across the field with ease. Not much separation to his game.
• He does a good job of keeping things in front of him.
• Overall, this is a promising player – worth being excited about. I worry about how much he grabs and holds. He will need some technique work with Kris Richard to help him here.

Westry reminds me a ton of Patrick Watkins.

 

[glimmerman]

Maybe a gem..

 

[reddyuta]

I don't about him,seems too big to play Corner.

 

[Mr_437]

Ok whatever...
When the pads go on and a RB comes around the corner and Westry makes a tackle only then shall he be talked about.

I watched Holyfield (4.78) beat this dude around the corner twice and he didn't start his senior year...year I'ma wait.

I was just about to post this as I read the OP.

Dude's hips are trash.

Hes undrafted for a reason. Just an interesting test subject for Richard

This. I get the measurables are enticing but let's remember he was undrafted for a reason so he's going to be flawed. Like you said....its about what Richard does with him. Not comparing the situation but there's a reason why Browner went undrafted and why Sherman and Chancellor slid. Gotta find a coach to get the most out of those guys. Byron Maxwell is another one.

usually don't get too hyped on BB's pet cats. I've seen his "promising players" before. Maybe Richard can bring him along. That's my thing, are they coachable

Yeah, that's what I was going to ask about. If he can't turn, he can't play in today's NFL. I noticed that they avoided talking about it in the provided scouting report.

It is fair to say BB sucked as a scout. If he didn't suck he would still be a scout. Cowboys Media likes him because he is their own Charlie Casserly. Reality is if you listen to what he says, especially when it comes to personnel, he is wrong more often than right. In fact, he says some of the dumbest things of the entire media cast. Scouts Eye means zero to me. I don't mean to be nasty but BB is a buffoon.

There are guys on You Tube that are a million times more insightful.

 

[Whyjerry]

I don't mean to beat a dead horse but just read this "scouting report". There are guys on this forum that are way more insightful.

• Despite his large frame, he can move well. He will turn and run with his man.

What kind of garbage is that? My younger daughter can watch a football game and tell me the same thing.

^^^Is actually insightful analysis of a pro CB prospect. Guys need to be able to jam, turn, and run or read and react. If they are too stiff in the hips it won't work in the NFL. "....balance is not great..." how the hell are you going to play CB at 6'4" in the NFL with questionable balance. I would bet it all this guy never plays a snap in Dallas.

Sounds like he's studiously trying to avoid saying anything negative. Which makes it inaccurate. Just give the info, good and bad.

TC fodder.

I know. "...grabs and holds..." but is "promising". The whole thing is a farce. I used to like BB in the beginning. Now he takes himself so seriously and thinks he is so smart. He treats callers like garbage with regularity. His work on the draft show is absolute garbage. Dane B makes that thing work but Broaddus is such a clown. He loves to say things like "the player" or "plays with violence". He tries to make himself so much above the rest of the regulars because "he was in the room". 100% Clown.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

Actually heard CB and WR both suppose be really good ......why I said in another thread, I know it early but I can see CB getting strong consideration with our 2020 1st or 2nd rounder.

Needs a ton of work. The team needs viable options as possible 3rd and 4th CBs in 2020. Gonna need inexpensive options like Westry and/or Olumba to emerge.
