Who is your "Most Underrated" guy in the '17 Draft
Posted on 3/24/17 at 5:26 am

Mine is Virginia Tech TE Bucky Hodges. He set the combine broad jump record and had a 39 inch vertical: Dude is a BEAST at 6'6" 257lbs-- he's the epitome of the new age "hybrid" tight end (4.57 40 time). He's certainly got his work cut out for him on improving his route running and blocking BUT he's only 22 and has only been playing the position for 3 years. With proper coaching this dude will be a perennial pro bowler. He's a nightmare for smaller CB's/slower LB's. Drew would LOVE moving this guy around the line in motion.

Most underrated for me is probably Tre White. Yes, a little bias. But I think he is easily the top corner in the draft class due to when he was at LSU this past year, he shut everybody down. The dude deserves more recognition and should easily be a first rounder

I'm going to offer up Carlos Henderson, WR Louisiana Tech.
I'd love to see him in New Orleans where partnered with a great quarterback, he'll help fans quickly forget Brandin Cooks. He's a gamer.
Love the Beckwith choice too.

In the right offense Evan Engram could really tear it up as an H Back/slot guy

As a Clemson fan who has watched this guy in the ACC, I can tell you he is a stone-cold stud. Kid will absolutely be a great pro if he can remain healthy.

Need to take your blinders off. He has a problem of getting burned bad sometimes. He is a good corner, but the rest of the pack is very close to him. It can easily be argued some of them are better than him.

TJ Watt based on production & athleticism should be a top 12 pick. For some reason he is a fringe 1st rounder
Also Zach Cunningham is sliding yet has the same traits as someone like Jamie Collins from a few years ago. If he goes to a playoff team in the late 1st & can get behind a decent DL, he's gonna be a stud

Caused Something like 48 missed tackles. The next closest WR had in the range of 24. He got bigger, hopefully that means less injuries.

Arkansas WR Keon Hatcher. Guy makes tough catches in traffic, always gets as much YAC as possible, and runs sharp routes. He'll never be a #1 guy, but any team that picks him up is going to get quality production from him. His measurables don't jump out, so I don't think he will be drafted as high as he deserves.

Dalvin Tomlinson will be a steal for someone.
Posted on 3/24/17 at 9:58 am to zacthatassup
Meh. Sounds like Vernon Davis.
I like Dalvin Tomlinson. Excellent technique and solid on the interior. Just overshadowed by Allen, Williams, Foster, etc. over the last couple seasons.

Is that supposed to be a bad thing?

I think Mahomes has the potential to be a special player for someone. Even though he is listed as going late first round/early 2nd I think he's much better then Trubisky and Kizer. He has a very strong arm, can make every throw, and has incredible scrambling ability.
Posted on 3/24/17 at 10:37 am to zacthatassup
I know he's going 1st round, but I really think Derek Barnett is gonna blow up in the NFL
Also like Carlos Henderson mentioned above

Desmond King - DB - Iowa
Projected 2nd-3rd round
Played CB in college and won the Thorpe as a junior. Will likely play FS/Nickel in the NFL.
Great in coverage (8 INT as junior, rarely got thrown to as senior).
Has a reputation as being one of the best DBs against the run in CFB and highly physical.
Also an elite kick returner
-Steelers have a hard on for him and he's had more than one meeting with reps from the Ravens. That should tell you everything you need to know about what type of defender he is.

Meh Beckwith is a liability in pass coverage. I'd take Duke Riley before Beckwith.
