Article is insider, but given the criticism of Clark’s play this year, this seems ridiculous right? Is this evidence that he pulls most of his draft rankings out of his arse?
Other LSU players;
Tory Carter - 6th fullback
Jamar Chasr- 2nd WR, 6th overall
Terrace Marshall, 4th WR, 21st overall
Ed Ingram, 5th OG
Tyler Shelvin, 3rd DT
Jabril Cox, 7th OLB
Kary Vincent, 7th CB
Zach Von Rosenberg. 1st punter

It's just proof Kiper has no fricking clue what he's doing.
NFL teams will watch his film from this year and see his absolute inability to shed blocks and run the other direction.

who tf is in front of jamarr?
Posted on 11/11/20 at 9:17 am to TheWalrus
Makes NO sense to me, but Kiper is a certified expert.

They are probably basing this on Damone's measurables. For whatever reason, he is not getting Bo's scheme. But he has spent plenty of time chasing people this year so he's showing off his wheels

He has good physical traits. That is probably as important for NFL scouts as college production. They figure they can teach a player to how to play, read keys, etc. They can't teach him how to be 6'3 245 with decent speed.
Clark was a solid player last season. He's been awful this season. What's the more likely reason for that? He all of a sudden forgot how to play football and became physically weaker in one season? Or, whatever the coaches are asking him to do isn't working and/or he's just not grasping what he's being asked to do?

Damone has all the physical tools, but just hasn’t gotten it mentally yet. The more weeks that go by and he’s making the same mistakes, you start to question whether or not he will get it...he’s over pursuing, out of position, and looks slow.

100% based on potential shown last year. In fairness, it's hard to evaluate anyone on this defense currently.
Posted on 11/11/20 at 9:21 am to TheWalrus
Who does he think is a better WR than chase? Devonta Smith? Jalen Waddle?
Posted on 11/11/20 at 9:33 am to TheWalrus
There is no way he has seen a single game of our 18. No way.
Posted on 11/11/20 at 9:35 am to TheWalrus
He has great athletic ability, so maybe Kiper sees that LSU players succeed in the NFL when they receive next level coaching. Personally, I think he has great measurables but he seems to lack the instincts which seem to cause him to be out of position to make the plays needed.
Posted on 11/11/20 at 9:39 am to TheWalrus
I wouldn't be upset if Clark left. I want to see young blood that actually gives 100% every single game. Even if they mess up they are hauling arse
White and Sampah plus our new additions.

So there is only 9 draft eligible inside Lb'ers this year?
Posted on 11/11/20 at 10:05 am to TheWalrus
Maybe they are looking at his measureables and the fact that he isn't being coached right now.

It's evidence that outside of a very small group, ranters have no friggin idea what they're talking about. Damone Clark is a stud. It's very obvious that he's playing slow this year, indicating to me that he is late on his decisions. NFL scouts understand that this is because of the new system being installed, and probably because of mistakes being made by the linemen in front of him.

This! Danielle Hunter is a prime example. For Clark, scouts may watch the tape and think his subpar play is more about the scheme or the play of those around him. Whatever it may be, NFL coaches think they can fix it. You can't teach 6'3 245 lbs with raw athletic ability.

He has no chance of playing in the NFL! Mel has a history of saying one player is going to be in the HOF and that player is out of the league before the draft ends.
