2021 - Prove It
IMO, the top 100 players are scouted ad-nauseam by the time the draft gets here. By now teams know a potential picks leadership capabilities, how often they hit the gym, rather they **** before/after/during their morning coffee and how many girls/boys they banged during college...not to mention middle school GPA and rather or not they were a cub scout.
It makes total sense that the scouting department would like to get some face time with less known prospects...players who may not have been invited to the combine or perhaps played for schools that never get national exposure....often the talent is there but perhaps the coaching was not.
Honestly, a guy like Lonnie Ballantine from Memphis would be a match made in heaven for this team if the staff believes they can coach him up....6'3" tall...runs a 4.3?? really?? with any cover skills at all Vernon Davis or Jimmy Graham are shut down by a kid like that...add in that vertical leap....wow....to me that is a prospect worth really looking at. That is a coast to coast do it all type of safety who should get a lot of action in a division like ours.would help immensely if he can catch too,lol.
Lets not forget that marketing your team and your belief in a player can seal a potential UDFA contract. A number of players can be signed as UDFA and end up contributing on a 53 man roster. Even more so this year as it is a tremendously deep draft class as a whole.
