Under the Radar Talent


Recommended Posts

I made a thread like this last year pre-draft and I found it quite helpful even if nobody else did. It's especially helpful to guys like me that don't live in the US and don't have a huge knowledge of the college game.

 

Post your under the radar draft prospects. These don't have to be small school or late rounders, just guys you don't think are getting the attention they possibly deserve.

 

Gives us some background on the player, not just his name.

P.J. Williams. CB Florida State

NFL Comparison

Stephon Gilmore

Bottom Line

Cover cornerback with the talent to play on an island, and the swagger to regroup and forget when beaten. Williams can cover outside or from the slot, and has potential to come in and start right away for an aggressive man-cover defense. With consistency of effort, Williams could become the best cornerback to come out of this draft.

Dee Hart-RB Colorado State....Late 6th-7th round or maybe even undrafted, Has some clear rough edges towork out such as an annoying Trent like stutter step but he runs harder then Trent and has the ability to catch out of the backfield, Could learn behind Gore a year, Has the build to hold up as a blocker on passing downs as well in the backfield

Dominique Hayden-RB Thomas More division 3 college

Both will likely go undrafted, Hayden for sure

Travis Raciti - OLB/DE San Jose State - 6'5" 280 lbs - there is talk that he could slim down and play OLB - extremely athletic

 

Davis Tull - OLB - 6'2" 250 lbs - ran a 4.57 40 at his pro day; 3 time Southern Conference Player of the year - could be Robert Mathis Jr.

I want to second Kenny Bell and Dee Hart.

 

Kenny Bell is a very smart player and has good hands. He will be a solid complimentary receiver in the future. It doesn't hurt that he is an absolute class act.

 

Dee Hart has had all the tools to be a good back but was always stuck behind someone at Bama. When he graduated and went to play with McElwain at Colorado State, he showed what he could do.

    • Oh contrare, I’d say it says more about Shane Steichen’s skill set as a coach.
    • Excerpt from an article at NFL.com …     ”… One player the Colts can lean on while Richardson gets his sea legs: running back Jonathan Taylor. After last year's hold-in and injury issues, the star running back looks back to his old self. JT bursts through the line like a Mustang on fire, leaving linebackers in his wake. On Sunday, Taylor totaled 12 carries for 103 yards and +55 rushing yards over expected, his most RYOE in a game since Week 15 of 2021. He also forced five missed tackles across 14 touches.    Shane Steichen's decision to bench the star back during the entire fourth quarter because the Colts were in pass mode belies credibility. Even if Taylor isn't a prolific pass catcher out of the backfield, sitting your best offensive weapon for an entire quarter is folly -- hopefully one Steichen doesn't repeat. If defenses are going to sit back to slow Richardson's deep attack, Taylor should gobble up chunk gains.    At this point, Taylor is the most consistent thing going for Indy. The 25-year-old back owns a game-changing gear and can shoulder a massive load. His presence and production should help settle Richardson down during the roller-coaster dips. Taylor hasn't looked fully healthy in a couple of years. He did this past Sunday. The Colts need to ride that stallion.”     The above referenced article kind of echoes my feelings on the matter.    
    • Exactly I am confused with that comment by Shane unless that one drop deserved him to be benched. Again coaches know what's the best. 
    • I'm not sure why the team thinks JT can't be effective in the passing game.
