Stephone Anthony, ILB.

Everyone talks about Beasley, but the forgotten man is his Clemson teammate. This guy is just as explosive, has great instincts at reading plays at the snap, blitzes well & can cover guys in pass coverage. This guy is a Karlos Dansbys clone.

You heard it here first lady's & gents. :D

CBS sports ranks Stephone Anthony as #128 NFL.com ranks him as #112.So I sure hope BASK goes for another player at #24 maybe Trae Waynes CB Michigan State,Eli Harold Virginia or otherwise.Anthony not even top ranked ILB

I have no idea what CBS' record was last year or if they made the playoffs, but their scouting staff can only make a general idea by my own assumption... or the guys at NFL.com who are currently not employed by a team and lack a team's staff :D

Stephone Anthony Could Be the 2015 NFL Draft's Surprise First-Round Pick

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/...the-2015-nfl-drafts-surprise-first-round-pick

Go watch some video of the kid he is a helluva player. I remembered watchin him last year but couldn't recall his name but finally found him watchin highlights of Beasley. Imo he's got more tools & ability than Hendricks, Mckinnley & the other ILBs mentioned in the last few weeks.

Besides I think unless we trade up for an OLB we're gonna be shut out again just like last year.

I think we will have to settle for a Eli Harold,Lorenzo Mauldin,Nate Orchard type pass rushers.Pass rushers are in big demand and the top 5 or 6 will probably be long gone before #24.

Can't say I'd be happy with that pick even though the guy I mocked to Cards in my last mock, Bernard McKinney, is not someone I really want at 24 either.

McKinney must have had a bad combine because I've seen his stock fall in almost all the rankings.

His combine and pro day have been really bad. There just seems to be something missing with him. His tape is pretty good though

Finito I just don't see the explosion, instincts or nastiness I see in McKinney that I do from Anthony's game. I swear if he had a #58 on his jersey I'd think he was Los.

after senior bowl heard some experts praising this underrated prospect,pretty wird cause he had very good seasons in clemson
now after the show at combine and pro day i think this player is far ahead of mckinney and ahead of perryman too
he will be selected in 20s picks

2 weeks i started saying he is a 1st early 2nd round talent

just sent him a text asking who the better prospect is, McKinney or Anthony? We'll see if he responds. It's been 50/50 lately in his responses because he's making up for lost time of not attending the combine (death in the family).

He replied, Anthony is the better ILB prospect.

McKinney better at OLB than ILB.

Please stay away from 1st round RBs/ILBs/Safeties/Interior OL.

That all well and fine but I still don`t want him at #24.Rather have one of the top CBs Waynes or Collins.I think Cards can get a good ILB in RD 2 or 3 or 4 if needed.

We definitely need a ILB & Pass-Rusher more than a CB. Especially in a not so good ILB class like this years.
Collins isn't good anyway, all measurables.

I also don't want either at 24. I didn't ask what round they should go, just who was better.

Recent Mock with Cards taking Anthony

I saw a recent mock draft with the Cards taking Anthony at 24 - can't remember who it was - possibly FirstRoundGrade, or DraftBreakdown.

There was a link to a video breakdown http://sidelineblitz.com/film-study-stephone-anthony

Looking at his tape, he's got Keim written all over him - I wouldn't be surprised to see him as the pick at #24.

What tape are you watching? Don't watch highlight videos--find a game and watch every down:



I don't see anything special here.

You really can't be serious? If so you need some glasses K9 lol. ;)The game you showed he was all over the field. Otherwise you just proved my point against a damn good FSU team.

You don't like him at all, or not in the 1st round?
