2013 College Football Week 3 Watch List

A mid-late round prospect at CB for Nebraska:

From this site: http://tommeltonscouting.wordpress.com/tag/stanley-jean-baptiste/
Stanley Jean-Baptiste, CB, Senior- Andrew Green is supposedly the better prospect, but I am much more intrigued by Jean-Baptiste. He's a converted wide receiver who had never played defensive back before his first season with Nebraska as a sophomore but he still made this fantastic interception despite only having been on the defensive side of the ball for 3 weeks. Given the NFL's trend of wanting bigger, longer and more physical corners I think Jean-Baptiste is going to be far more popular than people expect come draft time. He's listed at 6'2", 215 pounds and has great length and ball skills thanks to his time spent as a wide receiver. He's still raw and obviously doesn't know the nuances of the position, but I think he has a lot of upside as an outside corner. He's not going to run a 4.4 flat, but I think he is in the 4.5-4.55 range which is more than good enough to get a NFL look at corner given his fantastic size. He may not even be a starter for Nebraska, but I think he's going to get some NFL looks. He had 9 pass break-ups and 2 interceptions as a junior, so hopefully he gets some playing time outside when Evans slides inside to nickel.

With the chance we took on Marcus Cooper in the 7th last draft and the trend towards bigger CBs (and the lack of premium CBs with size in this draft - Pourifoy is listed at 6'1" I think, but everyone else is 5'10" to 6'0" in the top prospects it looks like), I could see the Niners taking a flyer on this guy.

Also, have you seen this site: http://www.draftdaddy.com/
It's awesome, but especially their blog area, which is a great collection of links to ratings and articles about prospects, especially hometown paper articles and blogs that give you a deeper look at some prospects.

Thanks for the great work AB83!

Other ASU players:
RB Marion Grice, #1, 6-0 205lbs
OG Jamil Douglas*, #74, 6-4 300lbs
CB Osahon Irabor, #24, 5-11 185lbs
OLB Chris Young, #21, 6-0 240lbs

Notes on ASU's players:
-Coyle: Not the fastest or biggest TE, but exceptional hands, good route runner, and solid blocker. Plays TE/H-Back. Mid to Late Rounder.

-Sutton: Put on weight to improve draft stock, at about 295lbs I'd say. A penetrating, quick footed, pass rushing DT that will slide out to DE on someplays. Has a handful of playes every game where he slips between O-Lineman as soon as the ball is snapped, he is that quick. 1st - 3rd rounder.

-Bradford - Most athletically gifted person the team who plays on sheer athleticism while his football skills need some development. He is a guy that runs like a safety and has the brute strength of a lineman. Not nearly consistent enough on the field. 2nd to 4th rounder.

-Darby - packed on a LOT of muscle in the offseason and looks faster as well. Last year he looked timid to me and out of position, I want to see more tenacity/aggression, especially in the running game. Late Rounder to UDFA.

-Grice - great receiver out of the backfield with surprising speed, great vision, great change of direction. Mid rounder.

-Douglas: Outstanding run blocker, excels pulling and can block in space. A lot of screens are run to the left on the side he is on. Mid rounder.

-Irabor: 4 year starter, I'm not that impressed by him but worth a note for a guy with that much starting experience. UDFA

Young: JUCO transfer in his 2nd year. Tackling machine and plays MLB/OLB blend in our D. His knee is banged up though for the game. Late rounder to UDFA.

Could you underline the games plz?

I second this! Jean-Baptiste is definitely intriguing, and word from the scouts at the Nebraska vs. Southern Miss game is that they were doing a lot of focusing on Jean-Baptiste. He's already tied his last years INT total of two.

done.

The refs for this Bama/A&M game should lose their jobs... just a ridiculous targeting call that shouldn't have been a flag of any kind. **** this pansy BS.

Agreed. For a second there I thought they were going to eject Clinton-Dix. I mean what was he supposed to do? At least they didn't add insult to injury. This is a damn good game. Volatile on all side of the ball.

In regards to players to watch,

For Purdue:
Gabe Holmes, TE (even though he was out this week with an injury)
Ricardo Allen, CB
Ryan Russell, DE

I was impressed with Davaris Daniels, ND WR, believe underclassmen, might be a RS-Sophomore. Among the best for the 2015 draft on CBS Sports. Too bad ND doesn't have a NFL Worthy QB, Rees is ok, but could do better, stupid Everett Golson got himself ineligible academically. Kid has speed, and a good arm.

Manziel looked good, but I dont like the kid's attitude. He is a top 50 pick for me right now, maybe Top 55, I have new rankings out, and he is 6th QB I believe. Iove what Murray has been doing lately. 1st-2nd rd guy.

Norwood, the WR from Bama with the nice catch and TD in the 1st half for Bama, in their win over A&M. The Clinton-Dix hit was bs. They need the rule overturned. If penalty, allow the right thing to be done, no ejection, and no penalty. Clearly all ball.

Jamies Winston, Freshman or Soph I belive, gonna be a great QB with time and development.

Bridgewater was his usual self, calm, cool and collective. Love him, my Top prospect right now.

That injury to Will Sutton looked a little low, and shady, similar to what Looney did to Kevin Williams, and what Suh did in the opener in Detroit.
