Stephone Anthony: Surprise 1st Rounder


Recommended Posts

Hes certainly the most skilled ILB in the draft IMO. There's no reason he can't be a 1st rounder.

I can't think of a single thing he does better than Kendricks, who I think is the only ILB worthy of a first.

hell yeah!! Best ILB in the draft I'd LOVE Anthony in the second and a D linemen in the first ALOT! Then maybe get a chance at Houston if KC don't tag him

Nono. He's a good player but I do not want him in the first, especially when it's likely that all or almost all of the ILBs will be there.

I agree would rather have Kendricks in the 1st but if we went another direction in the first I'd like Anthony in Rd 2

BR proving why they shouldn't be respected. I like Anthony, but not in the first.

 

I'm not sure you read the story.

 

This isn't the opinion of a BR writer.    He sites all sorts of people who say very nice things about the kid, and NFL Networks Charles Davis just mocked him to Green Bay with the 30th pick in the first round. 

 

So, BR isn't just talking out of it's rear here. 

 

Now,  I don't happen to agree with the 1st round view....   but again,  this isn't a BR opinion piece....   they've got the quotes to back it up....

For what it's worth....

 

NFL.com has Anthony as the 121st best player overall...

 

CBS Sports has Anthony as the 128th best player....

 

And ESPN.com has Anthony as the 58th best player.

 

But no one that I'm seeing yet -- except Charles Davis of NFL.com -- thinks of him as a 1st round pick.

I don't think so either but that combine might jump him up to the first I would like him to be there with our second pick third would be even better but I don't think that's very likely

It's funny because in my latest mock draft I had us taking Stephone Anthony in the 2nd round and most thought it was a reach. I don't think people get how valuable he is not only because of his own skill, but because of how weak the LB class is. He's the only ILB who really checks all the boxes

 

-Size 6'3"

-Speed 4.56

-Coverage ability

-Sideline to sideline LB

-Clean off the field

 

Not as good instincts as some of the guys but you could argue that he's the most complete LB in the draft

    • I like it overall, but I don't think there's a snowballs chance in hell we're drafting Kinchens after his atrocious Combine. With a RAS of 2.27 he's not even a blip on Ballard's radar lol.
    • Sorry late to the party line chat on Page 57 of 94   Skyy Moore, deleted that draft class and notes but Moore seemed to have some potential but wasn't sold on him.  Viewed Moore as an average receiver not much more.  I wouldn't trade for him.   If you were looking to trade for any WR, I would suggest targeting the Packer's Dontayvion Wicks.    As for some of these other comments that I have read up and not going to ready through 30 pages.  Colts spent 200M on most of their own (top NFL) players,    Recent news I saw is that the Colts haven't had any communication talks about trading for Sneed.  How true that is or not to be seen.  Seems the Colts have done a lot spending 200M on their own and doubt we have much cap space left to sign a big-name player like Sneed.  Still haven't seen latest cap space figures since our latest signing.     The Colts build through the draft and those expectations will not change this season.  Again, our organization was lucky enough to sign some of our best positional players.  Sadly, not everyone can get resigned and do expect Blackmon to move on.  Latest rumor is Blackmon signs with the Bills. 
    • The problem is Ballard drafts traitsy raw guys more often than not, so by the time AR is ready we likely won't know if the guys he drafted are IT. That issue then gets compounded by Ballard not using FA to bring in guys who work NOW. THEN if the guys he drafts miss, we'll be waiting another 2-4 years on the next batch... see the problem?   That's fair I guess, but Armstead and Huff were signed for ~$17m/year.   Huff was the 2nd most efficient pass rusher IN THE LEAGUE in 2023 behind only Micah Parson - that's better than Myles Garrett, TJ Watt, Nick Bosa you name 'em. For $17m that's worth taking a shot at, because even if he only produces at a good level he'd still likely be a Jonathan Greenard who signed for $19m. IF he works out though he'd be the bargain of the decade.   Armstead has already played with Buckner and he would be a big upgrade over Grover Stewart for $4m more per year than what we signed Grover for.
    • Great post, thanks.  One of your best.    I think your roster bonus argument crushes my signing bonus argument.   100 percent flattens it.   Like a Quinton Nelson pancake!   I don’t see a counter argument.     Many thanks.          
    • I’d like to focus on one paragraph.   The one about AR working out.   You connect AR working out, which will take 2-4 more years to confirm with “the roster as it is now.”    Thats a flaw.   When we know about AR working out, whether it’s 26, or 27,  that will be connected to the roster that he has THEN, not the roster he has NOW.   See the disconnect?  The roster should be better to support AR.   And I wouldn’t call guys like Luvu or Stone, both guys I like, as shiny toys.  They’re solid players I think we’d all like.  The Sony toys are the four big name plays you listed.  Those guys are just too expensive.
