Weigh-in results are there.

IMO, just based off of these ..

Biggest winner - Nate Solder. 6'8 314lbs, and looked trim still yet.

Biggest loser - Noel Devine. 5'7 160lbs - his new nickname is Titanic, because his draft stock just went down like that.

--

Keeping my eye on my Nebraska boy, Eric Hagg. He was a late add to the Senior Bowl. Measured in at 6'1 206.

I really believe he is going to be an absolutely outstanding FS or SS at the next level for somebody out of this draft. Never played just a regular FS position, but instead played in the nickel, covering the slot, and played the PESO (hybrid LB) for Nebraska. He had a phenomenal year, even covering smaller slot receivers. Finished the year with 5 INTs.

The one thing that was most impessive however is Hagg's ability, even at his size, to set the edge on run plays. Really good understand for his use of hands and understanding leverage in run support.

 

[CATCH17]

I would take Devine in a certain role.

He is a lot like Danny Woodhead actually.

 

[InmanRoshi]

Woodhead has about 35 lbs. on Devine.

I wish Devine was a little more dynamic as a kick returner. He didn't even return punts in college. He would be a whole lot more valuable if he could play a Dexter McCluster role as a kick returner who could also play some slot and nickel RB. It will be hard for a team to use a roster spot on a Devine as a small role player when he can't contribute on special teams. He would get swatted away like a gnat on coverage teams.

Eh... I like him.

Get him the ball in space.. Watch him accelerate with lightning speed.. Then cringe with how hard he gets hit.

I watched several Nebraska games this year and I came away impressed by Hagg's coverage skills. I think Nebraska used him at several positions, linebacker and SS.

I like him but he probably wont fall to the luxury rounds for us

And your player comparison is both accurate and unheard of in the media.

Jack of all trades, master of none. He's the type of player who plays in the nickel and dime packages and special teams. ( late 5th, 6th, 7th rnd, or undrafted free agent )

Devine isn't going until 6th or 7th round. He's a dime a dozen player. If you're going to get a midget slot WR, might as well get a Jerrel Jernigan, who's actually more of a good football player than a YouTube sensation.

He rushed 728 times in 4 seasons. Hes not purely a WR. Hes a guy you let return kicks, punts, and throw into the offense sporadically throughout the game.

I would have liked to see some more TD's but he turned into the every down guy instead of the lightning to Steve Slatons thunder. 8 yards a carry as the change of pace, then his average rounded out to 6 YPC once he carried the load

He's also not lost as a runner between the tackles. The guy can read a block.


But he will have the same concerns every midget has coming into the league.

Definetely a luxury choice.

He never returned punts, and he was mediocre at best returning kicks. He never returned a kick for a TD in his entire collegiate career, and his longest kick return in 4 years of college was for 48 yards. He didn't have enough breakaway speed for college to score many long TDs, much less NFL. He played in a gimmicky option offense in college that got him the corner that he doesn't have the speed to do on his own in an I formation or single back set, particularly not at the NFL level. If it were for him being a YouTube sensation 5 years ago, no one would care about him.

Doesnt have the speed? He is going to set the combine on fire.

I can see where someone would be wary of him w/ the size and injury history but he has the speed to be a weapon in the NFL. Hes not going to be am every down back so I dont see what relevance your opinion on him in the I would matter. Even though he did carry a lot up the middle in college and had a solid average(Again, that was whilst being misused)
