Just got my First Look at Deone Buccannon....Uggh

[Freeupfreeney]

As I've said, I have not really watched or scouted NCAA football this year, mostly because of Lame Kiffin and what he did to my favorite team...but as I look at this tape of this kid vs. Oregon, I'm vary wary of drafting him. I have to look at more film tough, but looks like the draft breakdown guys have been slacking it this year.

 

[throwing BBZ]

looks like a bethea without the solid tackling. ughh!

[bestQBever]

doesn't look very good.

[Freeupfreeney]

 

Notice the Terrible play calling by Lame Kiffen, 2 to -2 yard passes all day. Was he on Drugs?

[Freeupfreeney]

Against Stanford, this kid looks pretty bad. I officially am against drafting him. But he does look like he would be a good zone corner.

We should not reach for a S Howell is the starter. I think Tre Boston late is a option for us. I am for best player available. I think Grigs did a good job putting in that position

[NewColtsFan]

I'm not sure what one can reasonably expect when you're looking at tape of Washington State.

 

I mean Buchanon is a safety on a team with not very much talent.   Not just pro talent, but college talent too.

 

So, Buchanon is the last line of defense and by the time he's getting to the ball the WR or RB is in an advantageous position.

 

It's hard to play 1 against 11.

 

Of course, I could be completely and totally full of it...    it wouldn't be the first time!

Like I said I will take it all back what im about to say here if Howell has improved but other than one game Howell sucked now that guy from WSU im against drafting him now he looked very bad against the run and pass I think clemons is still on the open market and also there are probably better S in this draft than that guy.

[HarryTheCat]

Yup...I watched a lot of video on him the other day, and I suppose if forced to chose between Bucannon and Reynolds, I'd take Reynolds, but the Colts might just be better off with Howell. There just doesn't seem to be a lot of Safety talent in this draft. Just for comparison, I pulled up some video of Clinton-Dix, and even he didn't look all that great. There's a lot more CB talent available with a late 2nd round pick, and I'd rather see the Colts go in that direction.

This is why I just can't see us passing up any good FSs in the 2nd round.  Ward, Brooks, and Joyner, in that order.  If they're not there, I would probably wait until the late rounds rather than reach for someone like Bailey or Reynods or Loston (none of whom I like). 

[Defjamz26]

I think you over-analyzed the tape. He's not a Linebacker, so he doesn't have to have like 10 tackles a game. He's mainly responsible for making the tackle when a RB gets past the LBs. The one play where he truly looked bad was when his hesitation allowed the QB to run in for a score.

And he was in good position on that interception that got called back because his team mate got called for PI when he didn't even need to grab him. Thought the tape was average. But notice how on a few plays where the RB was running up the sideline he came u and layed the wood. But most of the time his teammates were in position to make the tackle.

But I noticed the ball wasn't thrown towards the middle of the field when he was there. Its not an amazing tape but its not as bad as people make it out to be. People here love Yawin Smallwood and his Michigan tape is absolutely terrible.

[Superman]

I haven't watched Buchanon in a while, but I remember not being impressed with his tape.

[Indi Warrior]

I don't think Bucannon's a superstar, but he's good for the 2nd round.he can roam and fly to the ball, and even had two picks in that Oregon tape you said he played horrible in.

[Defjamz26]

I watched the USC tape before. I'm just now watching the Oregon won. No mention of how we forced and recovered a fumble. Or at 7:05 when he runs down and makes a really nice tackle for a loss on the RB who had gotten past the first defender.  And the commentator had really nice things to say about him as well. This isn't his best tape but Bucannon is a great prospect.

I think he has good field awareness, and good instinct but not a killer one. I think he would be better in a zone type defence.

[Track Guy]

That was extremely underwhelming, I definitely didn't see a player who I would spend a 2nd or 3rd rounder on based on the Oregon game. I haven't really watched enough of him to pass a final judgement though, it's just that there were a couple of times he made really pathetic plays and none that wowed me. 

[Dr. T]

Right now we need a tallish (at least 6 foot) ballhawking FS. Landry will be the SS and lay the wood. I would be very happy if we draft Bucannon. Even though he played SS, he has a total of 15 INTs in his college career (6 last year alone) and that 15 INTs is more than any other safety in this draft class. He is also a great kid and can play both FS and SS, making him versatile.
