Jamil Douglas: Guard -- Arizona State

[NewColtsFan]

This is one of Gavin's favorite players....  a guy he first started talking about when he was almost completely off the radar of the guys at all of the website's who were doing evaluations.

 

Well...  props to Gavin. 

 

It appears Douglas is now being talked about as a probable 4th or 5th rounder.   Solid for a guard.

 

And, according to this info from NFL.com I just found,  he was in demand from teams Wednesday....

 

 

 

7. Clubs wasted no time sitting down with Arizona State OL Jamil Douglas upon his arrival in Indianapolis. Among those who engaged him for informal interviews were the New York Giants, Cleveland Browns, Carolina Panthers, Kansas City Chiefs, Green Bay Packers, New England Patriots, Baltimore Ravens and Detroit Lions.  Although Douglas played tackle his last year with the Sun Devils, he said most of NFL clubs have projected him as a guard at the pro level.

 

Two more tidbits from Douglas:

» His toughest blocking assignment on the season: Utah's Nate Orchard.

» The toughest question he received in interviews with NFL clubs: "The hardest question I got was, if a team cut me, why would they cut me?   That was hard to ponder -- I told them, 'I don't know why you would cut me, you would have to tell me.'"

I think it's clear now that those who rate and profile players were very, very slow to take a look at the tape for Jamil Douglas from ASU.

 

He's now being talked about in much higher regard.

 

I think he now feels like a 4th or 5th round guard and future starter.    Props to him.

 

And props to Gavin for finding him first!

His stock is definitely rising, and rightfully so.

I'd like to see him tone up a bit but I'd trade down into the 3rd and get him depending who was there in the 2nd round for us, I really like his upside, Needs some polishing no doubt but his athletism is undeniable and aggression , Needs good O Line oahing
