Week 9 Draft Order

[Hostile]

Some folks on here are way overrating Deunta Williams value. He's definitely got 2nd or 3rd rounder written all over him.

Not sure where all this love for him is coming from. He's going to have to blow it up the remainder of the season to jump up.

He has a chance to make it into round 1. If we got Peterson in the 1st and him in the 2nd I'd be ecstatic. He had 8 pass breakups and 6 INTs last year. I don't know what his stats are this year so far.

I think he does have a chance to make it in the back end of round 1. This is a relatively weak crop of safeties coming out this year and I think that will help his cause. Earl Thomas and Eric Berry would still be the top players at the position had they come out this season instead of last. I would also place Nate Allen ahead of him.

Actually, the player he reminds me most of in terms of style and ability is Chad Jones (former LSU Tiger).

I think he's a good prospect, just not the Top 15 type pick some seem to be espousing.

If we were to grab Peterson in the 1st and Deunta in the 2nd I wouldn't be too upset, although I think it's likely a pretty decent OT/OG will be available in the early part of the 2nd round.

a kid I been watching FS Quinton Carter OK 6-1 #195

Carter is exactly the type of versatile defensive back NFL teams are looking for to slow down the pass-happy offenses in today's game. He has played strong and free safety in Bob Stoops' defense at Oklahoma because of his physicality and speed; his ability to make the big hit, support the run, play centerfielder, or even line up in man coverage is rare among college safeties.

Read & React: Heady defender against the run and pass. Very quick to close on bubble screens whether lined up in man or coming down the hash. Capable of moving to the sideline quickly from the two-deep look, though he is sometimes a step late to recognize when the corner needs help. Comes off his coverage to close on the ball while it's in the air, often gets to the receiver as the ball arrives or a split second later.

Man Coverage: Athletic safety who can step up to play outside or in the slot, if needed. Asked to jump out on receivers on corner blitzes, can stay with them down the sideline or on the hot route over the middle. Needs work staying low and over his feet in his backpedal, as well as using his hands to prevent separation and knock receivers off their routes at the line.


Zone Coverage: Has the speed and playmaking ability to be an effective two-deep centerfielder. Closes to the ball in a hurry to make bone-jarring hits, forcing fumbles or incompletions. Owns good hands for the interception whether the ball is thrown at his numbers or in a jump-ball situation. Adjusts well to balls thrown behind him. Noses up against the run and when the quarterback scrambles, leaving his corner on an island if his man heads downfield. Late to get to the sideline at times, even when there is no threat of a run.

Closing/Recovery: Excellent closing speed to attack receivers and running backs in space. Plants and drives forward with a nice burst to the ball. Effective blitzer because of his speed and timing. Fair recovery speed and change-of-direction ability for a safety; can catch up to receivers if beaten on a quick initial move. Takes aggressive angles because of his speed, elusive NFL runners may take advantage of that. [/FONT]


Run Support: Headhunter in run support, attacking plays whether playing near the line or well off. Chases down ballcarriers from sideline to sideline. Willing to lower shoulder into lead blocks so others can make the play, but lacks great strength to take on linemen and disengage to make plays.


Tackling: Solid tackler who is a reliable last line of defense because of his athleticism and aggressive style. Is an intimidating presence, loves to lay the wood on the sideline and over the middle (will get penalized for big shots late, was actually thrown out of practices for being too jacked up). Will be the second or third man into the pile, forcing it backwards on most occasions by bringing his hips and keeping his feet moving. Comes in high on some tackles, grabbing shoulder pads and allowing shorter or stronger players to slip away

Intangibles: Exceptional leader on the field and in the locker room. Receiving degree in sociology with a non-profit organization studies, but already has started has own non-profit called SOUL (Serving Others with Unity and Leadership) to help kids in the Las Vegas area. Redshirted the 2007 season with a severely pulled hamstring, also missed the beginning of the 2008 season with surgery on a slightly torn knee ligament.

FS/SS Tyler Sash Iowa 6-1 #210

 

[The Realist]

BTW, in the game against Clemson, he gave up an 85-yard TD in the 4th qtr and also made a poor attempt at an open field tackle near the goaline for a score.

So he does appear human.

Thank you.

Deunta is good, but nowhere near top half of first round good.

This isn't Eric Berry or Earl Thomas. Not even close.

He's the best safety in a horrible safety class.

He's bottom half of one top of 2 BEST CASE SCENARIO.

I want patrick Peterson

FWIW, I think he's a slightly lesser prospect than Nate Allen

FS/SS Tyler Sash Iowa 6-1 #210

I like Sash in the top of 2nd round range. My concern is that if we took Peterson 1st ray: , and then Sash 2nd, that means we aren't addressing the O line until at least the 3rd.

If we draft like we did in 2009, it really does not matter.
