Jaylan Foster would be a nice pickup from right down the road.  1st team all-SEC safety, 2nd team all American, 13th in sec in tackles; 4th in the country in interceptions.  High character guy.   Didn’t get his chance until this past year so I guess that’s why he didn’t get drafted.  

Game tape supercedes measuring tape. I've heard that uttered in some form or another for Fitterer and several other GM's. It's matters less and less the further you drop in the draft because by then you are just going by the swag method. 

But what matters most to the brass is how they play in games against better competition and were they consistent.  Do they have enough games under their belt to have enough to judge them fairly?

Minus any if that then it's pick you preferred measurement and throw darts. Ours seem to be speed.

Ian Thomas, Tommy Tremble (more of an H-back), Colin Thompson and Stephen Sullivan.  If we keep 3 TEs, I'm nearly certain Babicz can beat out Sullivan and Thompson, who we've cut, re-signed and placed on the practice squad numerous times.

I will never understand our love for Ian Thomas.

Justyn Ross was a stud, could have been a 1st round pick before his surgery.  I hope someone picks him up. Dude was a beast in the NC game

he is a sad story.  When Clemson won the Natty with Trevor I was certain Ross would be a top 5 overall pick.  The Trevor Natty vs Bama was just Ross single handedly taking over that game. 

Clemson had bad QB play last year BUT that wasn’t why Ross’ comeback fell flat.  He just wasn’t good.  Clemson tried to make him the focal point and give him opportunity but he just didn’t have it. 

wish he got better advice and stayed in school to keep working on his comeback.

      Edge Rushers

      By Basbear · Posted

      These last couple playoff/championship games for the edge class will mean millions. Someone will have a big game and become the favorite top edge. Everything is on the line for the edge group now.

      What Are Your Top Offseason Targets Now That Bryce Young Is Showing Promise?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Because he's not the best prospect in the draft, he's the best college player in the draft, and those are two entirely different things. Yes, if he focused on one side, his stats may have been better, but stats aren't what makes a player's prospects, it's their abilities and how they translate to the next level. I'm also not knocking him as a prospect, not like I'm saying he's a mid round pick, he's just probably the 2nd best CB and 3rd best WR, in what way is that throwing shade on him?  It's literally saying he's a Top 10 pick, just not THE top prospect at his position(s).  I really don't get why you think someone saying a player is the 2nd best player at one position and 2nd or 3rd best at another position is hating on them, it's crazy talk. Even in your defense of him here, you say a just asinine sentence, "he's the #1 rated prospect because he's actually elite at both positions" His ability at 2 positions has 0% bearing on his NFL prospects, as no team is going to use him full time both ways, he's either going to be a full time WR, or a mostly full time CB who gets 5 or so snaps a game on offense.   So him playing both positions shouldn't factor into any team's draft evaluation of him, if a team is taking him over Johnson because of the few snaps he'd play on offense, they're choosing a player for the wrong reason.  The only way I'm taking him over T-Mac is if it's a team that already has a true outside #1 and what they need is speed in the slot to compliment the outside guy (and btw, most teams don't have that, if anything, most would have the slot guy and need the true outside #1).

      Remember when @CamWhoaaCam didn't bandwagon that team that was having a surprisingly good season?
