Great and light on the feet, should contend for some playing time

GCB selects:

DeSean Holmes, Slot WR, San Diego State University

jembeurt selects Russell Ude, DE/DT, California



At 6'3" 250, he is already at the point where putting a few more pounds on will initiate the move inside. The main thing I loved about him is his ability to play anywhere on the line, which he will probably do until he grows into whatever position he is going to settle into. Another thing about him is his offer list. Aside from getting some big time offers, he got schollys to play at Harvard, Princeton, and Yale!!!

Also, with his addition to my team, I might be in the process of changing from a 4-3 to a 3-4. Not sure.

With my 18th pick the Phanaticks select:

D'Anfernee McGriff
Athlete
Tallahassee, FL (Tallahassee Leon)
Ht: 6-1 | Wt: 230 | 40: 4.34

I am going to play him at OLB.



McGriff is a very interesting player who has some skills that suggest he can be used in a variety of roles. The first thing one notices about him is his size. McGriff is a very big prospect, and while he may be able to add some additional good weight in college, he's not someone who I would project to add 25 or 35 pounds when all is said and done.

McGriff has been recruited primarily at running back and on defense, as a hybrid linebacker/safety type.

Possesses all the physical measurables you want in a jumbo athlete. Looks the part and plays the part. Is big, physical and strong. Possesses height, weight and length to be able to contribute early from a physical standpoint. Possesses surprising overall agility, quickness and straight-lined top end speed. Once he gains momentum and tops out, he is a load to handle. A dynamic athlete given his size.

This prospect gives college coaches endless possibilities from a positional standpoint. Likely projects as a H-back/tight end or linebacker. Could potentially have value as a perimeter pass catcher as well. There are very few prospects of his stature with the range and athleticism he possesses. Is very similar to former Florida athlete Trey Burton as an overall playmaker. However, McGriff may be faster.

McGriff is one of those unique athletes that you take now, and worry about where to play later. Big, physical prospects like him don't move the way he does. It's easy to see why coaches would be excited about his upside as he has yet to settle in at his future position which provides for an outstanding developmental high ceiling. Possesses a high and skill set for top tier programs. Is going to need to develop at a different position which could take a little time.

jembeurt selects Jalen Christian, WR, South Carolina



I've passed him the last few rounds, mainly because I had to keep checking if he was taken. He is #105 on the top 247 list and #207 on the 247 Composite list. Not sure why he's still available. Maybe because he's 5'10" 165. I really wasn't looking at him for my last WR spot, but its tough to pass on what most of the services consider a good athlete. He will be playing WR at USCe, and more than likely the slot.
