I want to see the mistakes. I want to see a QB's interceptions because that is also very revealing on whether or not that is something correctable or not. I want to see when a corner is having a bad game and what is the flaw. I realize people on Youtube and other social media are only going to post the highlights because it is about promotion but 3 minutes of picking out the great plays does not say much without a comparison... hence, watching a heated contest with another team is the only true way to get a gist of the player in the course of a game in its entirety :)

sometimes you can tell.... like if one guy has a 15 minute highlight video,...but another guy only has 2 plays on his............

No highlights every snap is the only way to evaluate

Very true Jet. It's the reason the Cardinals drafted Golden in the 2nd Rd. last season. You can only see the heart of the player for entire contests and especially when their team is getting whooped. They won't let up.

I think Mante Teo is a good example of a player that had great stats and highlights, but when you watched the tape he was freed up by the studs on their dline. Most of his Int's were because of being in the right place at the right time and not because he was so great in coverage.

So his INT's were basically fictional? :D

Draft Xpress does it with college basketball on YouTube but I haven't seen anything other than game highlights for college football on YouTube. Generally, draft websites usually breakdown weakness as well as strengths.

This is a video where is possble to watch all snaps played by Leonard Floyd against vanderbilt
Floyd is a potential pick for us
He is extremely versatile player as u Can see
He can play OLB in 34 defense
he can play inside
He can drop back covering either TE and WR in the backfield
He lacks some Strenght so he cant Finish the tackle sometimes but he has an elite speed for the position,something we missed the season.
I see a player that can have a Dansby type of career

Excellent tape because it shows how quick he is off the edge and how indecisive and tentative he is playing the middle.

Eh, not really a fan of Leonard Floyd. To also cope with the fact he will be 24 his rookie year, pass.

Ziggy ansah
Daryl Washington
Sean Lee
They were 24 years old rookies
Even david johnson is 24
If a player is very good .doesnt change much 1 year older

John Brown turned 24 a couple weeks before we drafted him. Its definitely not a plus, but I don't think it's a deal breaker either.
