Interesting notes from The Athletic Bob McGinn's article

[TheSpecialJuan]

This is from his famous pre-draft player rating article: https://theathletic.com/2551187/2021/04/29/nfl-draft-scouts-poll-best-overall-player-favorite-guy-to-scout/

- Brady Christensen is listen as a OG - “He had the big workout, but you don’t see (his) athletic ability on the field,” another scout said. “He is strictly an in-line guy who can’t adjust. No bend. Slow and wide with his hands, so guys get into his chest. Gives you good enough effort.”

“Short-armed, played like it,” a third scout said. “I moved him to guard. In a zone-dominant offense, he could develop into a potentially solid starter. He looks light. Quick feet.”

- Daviyon Nixon, Iowa (6-foot-3, 313, 4.89, Round 3 through 6 Executives from three teams said he had been removed from their draft boards because of off-field issues. Four other teams indicated they had modest to major concerns

I’ll never understand why this fanbase seeks out negative info to shove in each other’s faces. 
 

The Athletic pays Joe Person a salary. That’s enough to discount their opinions.

The list of draft prospects with some negatives:

Everyone. There's no such thing as a perfect prospect or player.

What exactly are Daviyon's off the field issues? The learning disability?

It's not great but he's been cleared. Let's just say if he's cleared he is top 50 if he is not cleared could be considered undraftable by many teams.

What does that even mean?

Complaints of sexual harassment or sexual violence.

That's what it means, but that being said, this is the first time I've heard even a sniff of that.

I researched these supposed off-field issues, and I have yet to find anything that serious. It's gotta be something though I suppose, but wtf it is, it's crazy hard to find and confirm.

Whatever it is, they definitely have kept it hushed.

What a crap analysis based off others analysis not actually watching play.

Luke Kuechly 

You must not remember that draft class. There was a lot of criticism about Luke basically just piling up stats by making tackles downfield because the BC defense was terrible and jumping on the pile to get credit for assisted tackles. There were quite a few people who thought his stats were inflated and he wasn't as good as the stat sheet implied. They were wrong, but the criticisms weren't completely unfounded at the time.

Just now, Trainwreck said:

No I remember it very good. Panthers fans didn’t like the pick “only” because we had Jon Beason already. 

No, you clearly don't. He was an elite prospect but he wasn't perfect and the criticisms came from pundits who weren't Panthers fans before the Panthers drafted him.

Or... you're just trolling. Since that's pretty much all you do, that's probably the most likely answer.

 

[LinvilleGorge]

Just now, Trainwreck said:

You’re trolling if you dont believe that Luke was a perfect prospect. Player on the field + person off the field + smart on the field and classroom = PERFECT

At least you picked an appropriate screen name.

FYI, Sam Howell is garbage.

Yeah, that's what makes you a troll. Zero desire to add anything to a conversation, just say something inflammatory no matter how irrelevant. It's your entire shtick.
