What do yall think are the cons of LSUs draft prospects as they project to the next level. I think it’s important to not be biased and recognize certain players strengths but also weaknesses, which does not get mentioned often on a team forum like this.

I’ll get it started
Burrow- if anything, i guess he doesn’t have a rocket arm. Which isn’t required for being a great QB, but some people fall in love with that trait

Sahdiq Charles seems to be on most experts draft sites as a tackle. I think he is undersized to play that in the NFL at a high level. I see him as more of a guard. But hey, Sahdiq, go prove my arse wrong.

Burrow - No weaknesses except, as you said, not an elite arm strength.
Delpit - Tackling. Even healthy this was a weakness last year.
Cushenberry - Handling power rushers was a problem in 2018. In 2019 not so much, but he’ll see a lot more in the NFL.
Lewis - I can’t think of any, unless he doesn’t pull well. Didn’t see it much this year.
Jefferson - top end speed
Rashard - Injury prone ankles and quickness
Phillips - Lateral pursuit
Queen - None
Chaisson - None
Fulton - Speed and lack of ability to high point.

Chaisson, Queen, Delpit and Burrow are four complete players. We were so lucky to have this group.

Jaysus, a thread on weaknesses.

Herman Johnson was the heaviest recorded live birth baby in Louisiana history.

Is that a weakness Verne?

Burrow- probably his age, which will put a cap on just how much more he can develop. Will turn 24 at end of nfl season.

CEH- long end speed, & “dancing” with the ball. Would really thrive on a team with good players around him. Not sure he can be the dude .

Jefferson- ability to play outside, overall size, strength after catch

Moss- speed. Think he needs to lose 10lbs.

Lewis- handling quicker DLs

Cushenberry- handling powerful DLs

Charles- lack of length, and he’s almost too lean. I think teams will love his body to mold as a G.

Chaisson- needs to get stronger, keep developing pass rush moves

Lawrence - player out of position as a 3-4 DE. He’s much better suited inside a 4-3. Speed & athleticism exposed on edge

Queen- tackling could use work

Divinity- feel like his body needs work. Little on the heavy side. Prob won’t test great

Phillips- making plays outside the tackle box near LOS

Fulton- make up speed

Delpit- finding that fine line between lack of aggressiveness & being over aggressive.


Magee- out of shape

You do huh? Well I'm very proud of ya!

Why is this "important" unless you're a scout or draft analyst?
