No thanks on Deone Walker.

Similar reasons you didn’t care for DVondre Sweat last year?

I just thought Sweat was too big & it didn’t help he caught a DWI leading up to the draft. I liked Sweat more overall than Walker though.

When looking at possible draftees, put motor high on your list of traits.
Gannon talks about that aspect a lot.

It's one of the things I like about Deone Walker. He played a ton of snaps per game. That is rare for a guy of his size in college.

He’s only 25? Feels like he’s been around for 10 years

Right??!! I just said the same thing!

 

[Chopper0080]

If we go free agent end I want chase young….only 25 and has proved he can stay on the field…2 year 35 million

I think that would be an overpay but he is starting to look more intriguing.

Could have had him for a lot less than that this last offseason.

Tankathon has Alfred Collins going to the Cards in round 2! I like the pick assuming they go Edge in Round 1. He’s a little raw but has a great motor and tons of physical tools. He has a ferocious, bull rush mentality, but needs to refine technique. He attempts various moves but lacks the polish to make them fully effective. He’s quick and can penetrate now. He uses his hands well and can shed blockers effectively. Collins never seems discouraged by double teams. He’s a solid tackler so when he gets his hands on someone he usually lands them. Collins is very aware and frequently deflects passes. He’s quick enough to exploit stunts. Like many tall players he can get upright, sacrificing his leverage. This kid wants to win and wants to be good. He fits the Cards mentality. In their system he should become a force.

I just started looking at some of his games today at lunch.

Not now. I am watching Kenneth Grant chase down RBs 20 yards down the field and dropping into coverage, breaking up passes.

 

[Chopper0080]

Kenneth Grant has 10 pass defenses in the past two seasons at Michigan. I know you mentioned him earlier this year @DVontel but he is 21 and playing really aware and athletic football.

 

[Chopper0080]

and I am sorry for those who are new to the draft prospects this year. Kenneth Grant has no part of round 2. Completely off topic.

That’s the less talented DT at Michigan, right?
