2021 Draft - Corners

[Boltjolt]

Speaking of physical freaks, have you seen the sleeper WR prospect Josh Imatorbhebe? I read he had a 47 in vertical and quickly called bullshit.
But then I saw THIS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lgkCxnSHV7w
Dude literally hovers in the air like a drone.

To put it in perspective, that's 15 inches higher than Mike Williams jumped at the combine. And Imatorbhebe's only an inch shorter. Could the Bolts land a new jump-ball receiver??
He certainly uses his hops in his highlight vid.: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ijOAPKUbG4 (check the jump ball against Michigan)

So he can jump, which only matters if you have NFL type talent to go with it.. He has 57 career receptions in college. Probably a UDFA ...which is cheap but he wil be a project, worth a gamble.

That’s only 10 fewer receptions than DK Metcalf had in college. Played less games, too. If players were evaluated on college production KJ Hill woulda been a first round pick.

Love Imatorbhebhe. He is on my “roster build” as an UDFA. Definitely a draftable WR on day 3. He started out at USC before transferring to UIL.

Check out Mike Strachan WR - CHARLESTON (WV). 6’5” / 225#. Olympic 200m/400m caliber sprinter, 40+” vertical, 4.38 PB in the 40YD.

They are evaluated on production as well as everything else. At least Telesco has said production is what they look at but then again, he hasnt been the best drafter. He has been mediocre.
Metcalf went end of round 2 and he ran a 4.33 at 229 lbs and strong as hell. They all get scrutinized. Ive nothing against kid and would be worth a look as a UDFA or late rounder.

looks like my mid rd db pick is going back to school for another year
CHASE LUCAS

CB, Arizona State

cb, gunner and kick returner checks 3 buckets for us.

I get what you’re saying. And any sensible 2019 re-draft would have Melcalf going in the top 20. He’s proven it on Sundays.

But there’s a ton of reasons why a stud WR might not produce big stats in college. Was his QB Johnny Spazzarm? Did the o-line consist of 5 empty trash cans? Or was it just a systemic mismatch?

It’s ridiculous to stamp an UDFA label on a player like Imatorbhebe at this point. At least wait until after the combine.

For sure, but we dont know if there will be a combine. I sure hope so.

Good kid. I like him better at NCB. I want size and speed together on the outside.

Size and speed on the outside.....Farley.

I know this is a thread about CB's, but since the conversation has turned toward late-round WR prospects, I'll throw out a guy I really like:

Emeka Emezie. 6-3, 220 lbs. Was awarded the Philip Rivers Award as a freshman. After Ryan Finley left NC State, Emezie's numbers leveled off.

Haha, yeah talking about receivers is way more fun! Emezie’s a beast! On the tape I’ve seen he looks fearless in traffic and on crossing routes. Wouldn’t mind seeing him in powder blue.

And it’s true. So much of these guys’ numbers depend on competent QB play.

Emeka Emezie another Mike Williams. Great at out jumping/muscling college CB's but doesn't translate to the NFL.

Yeah, has the body to take the pounding. Looks like decent route runner, too. Wonder if he's really a 7th rounder...?
