I’m trying lol, I’m having my issues getting reliable Wake video. But @CuriousHusker is a fan and he’s got some of the best draft takes around, so I expect to like him when I finally get a good look.
Yeah he may be. If we were to “reach” on someone there I’d much rather him than anyone else. And as you say by draft day he might not be much of a reach anymore.
I see they have Karl Brooks from Bowling Green up to 48 now. He was a 300 lb edge rusher for them but he moved inside at the senior bowl and showed quite well. Does anyone know why he did not get an invite to the combine?
I have not seen any red flags on quick searches…
and I hope he doesn’t have any issues… but…
The NFL has added some rules that result in players with any convictions involving domestic violence being removed from consideration…. and the players have to agree to a background check to be considered as well.
That is a crazy number. His get-off is good but I never would have guessed he’d go that fast. I love his play demeanor and the way he’s always going for the ball, he’s certainly the sort of guy you want along the DL, but I have similar worries with him as I have with Kancey. Obviously the arm length concerns aren’t as pronounced but I didn’t think he was nearly as explosive as Kancey on tape either. I might have to go back and re-watch it.
I watched the Clemson offense vs. Wake defense this morning… and I wasn’t very impressed with Turner. I wanted to be impressed since we have a need… but just didn’t show much.
I think the most underwhelming part was that his hand usage is not very good. Combined with less than ideal arm length… he seemed to get blocked rather easily. His wins came almost exclusively on his burst getting off the ball quick enough that the lineman couldn’t lock his hands on him without holding… but there just wasn’t many of those plays.
