2015 Underclassmen Thread

I think Trae Waynes will end up being the best CB in this draft and definitely would not be mad if Baalke selected him.

I think he's a good coverage corner, but could get bullied against stronger receivers. The knock on Waynes is despite his undeniable talent, his functional strength is not up to NFL standards and he's shown inconsistency when it comes to using proper technique. Athletically, I'd be interested in seeing how he times. As it stands, he's considered more of a 4.5 guy by most.

Would have to watch some more footage to give a full, accurate grade, but I don't consider him the top CB in this class.

I won't go into who he went up against or stats in this game or that. I'm saying he looks very fluid as a CB, just as good if not better than his old teammate Darqueze Dennard.

Jordan Phillips, DT, Oklahoma ... any high light videos of him ????

good stuff as always.

Of the current underclassmen corners, I believe Peters might be the most talented, but the character flags all over the the place have me wondering if he's really cut out for the NFL.

The concern on Phillips? While very talented and moves exceptionally well for a 6-6 340 pound man, he has a back surgery on his resume. That will scare a lot of teams.

my initial reaction is that Diggs made a mistake declaring, we'll see.

I think DGB is going to stay in Oklahoma. :/

Not a fan of Diggs at all. Looks terrified of any sort of contact. Unwilling blocker, more straight-linish than quick/agile. Just not a positive mix when looking for a successful NFL receiver.

declared for the draft yesterday I believe.

FSU CB PJ Williams declared, so did fellow Nole, DE Mario Edwards Jr.

Andrus Peat from Stanford has declared.

WR Chris Harper from Cal declared.
