re: RMD- Vote on 107

BayouCatFan selects Sal Conaboy OG

ESPN-Conaboy has the height we like to see for the guard position at the major level of competition. It appears his frame will allow him put on additional weight over time. Shows good flexibility and quickness coming out of stance; is explosive when double teaming with the ability to slide to 2nd level linebackers. Has good balance and agility when playing in space. When he gets his hands on linebackers it usually results in a pancake block. Demonstrates very good technique in the trap game; shows good technique, pulling with balance and explosion at the point of attack; understands when and how to seal inside; good blocking a moving target. This is a tough, aggressive finisher that plays with explosion and playing strength. We have yet to see him single block when covered by a down lineman or drop back pass protect. However in all aspects of his game he is a dominant player. Conaboy is a highly rated prospect at the major level of competition


BayouCatFan selects Kevin Smith ATH

ESPN-Smith is a thick and powerful skilled athlete. He possesses both speed and quickness along with very good football instincts and reactions. A very versatile football player that can play on either side of the football and on special teams. Really is impressive as a wide receiver. Speeds off the line of scrimmage and can get upfield in a hurry. A very solid route runner that can plant and break out of the route like a veteran. Has soft and sure hands and catches the football away fromn his body. Secures the reception, puts the ball away and heads upfield. Makes difficult catches and displays great concentration on the football; makes acrobatic receptions at times. Wins the one on one battles when going up against defensive backs in one on one situations. Gets high into the air when going up for the football; vertical leaping ability is exceptional. A real threat to take the reception the distance; talented runner with the football under his arm. Has some real shake and bake as a runner. As a return specialist can make tacklers miss in the openfield and has powerful thighs making him difficult to bring down. A sound and steady safety that is a very good centerfielder that can play the deep ball and also breaks quickly on passes thrown in front of him. Needs to hone his tackling skills; sometimes dives at the ankles or tries to cut tackle instead of exploding up and through the ball carrier. Smith has a bright future in front of him because of his many skills, speed and competitive nature. He really has a chance to excel at the next level.
