    QB Sefo Liufau, Colorado (Class: 2017)

    One guy that I really want to watch more of is the nephew of Jack "The Throwin' Samoan" Thompson, Sefo Liufau. His uncle was the 3rd overall pick in the 1979 draft. Sefo is the starting quarterback of the Colorado Buffs.

    He runs about 6'4" & 230 lbs, having gained 20 lbs between his freshman (2013) and sophomore (2014) seasons. He did it the right way, winning the Iron Buffalo Award during the off season for his work in the gym. Went to the Manning Passing Academy that off season. Only the second sophomore in Colorado program history to be elected a permanent team captain in 2014.

    Made all kinds of marks with the Buffs as a freshman in 2013. Finished the final three games of the year against California, USC and Utah going 63 of 115 for 793 yards, 7 TDs and 3 INTs. He beat Cal and Jared Goff head to head that year. Back in 2013, he had Paul Richardson...but Sefo was just a freshman. I felt Richardson was a bit overrated that year, and that the quarterback was doing a good job getting the ball to him.

    This year he goes 325 of 498 for 3200 yards, 28 TDs and 15 INTs. Lost a 56-59 shootout with Goff this year. The Colorado defense is truly awful, allowing 39.0 points per game. So, the 28.5 points per game being scored by Liufau's offense just wasn't enough to translate into wins. But check out NFL Draft Scout some time and see if Colorado had any pro prospects on that offense aside from Liufau and Nelson Spruce.

    Could be better in 2015. Nelson Spruce and Sefo Liufau get a year older. The Buffs brought in Jim Leavitt to coach the defense and I happen to think very highly of him as a defensive coach.

    Thing that stands out to me on film is just how solid he looks standing in the pocket, maneuvering in the pocket, and delivering the football accurately. The way he executes everything is very polished. He thinks on his feet. There's a play on the first video of Marcus Peterson where Peterson is about to blow up a WR reverse and Sefo sees that, keeps the football and spins out of it almost like the play was designed that way. Very smooth. He protects himself when he runs. His feet move with his eyes. Seems to really feel pressure quickly without taking his eyes down. There's a LOT more I need to see because availability of film on the Buffs is not high...but I'm pretty impressed from the little bit I have seen.

    QB Kevin Hogan, Stanford (Class: 2016)

    If this StriVR technology is as real as I think it could be then I would really watch out for Kevin Hogan this year.

    I'm not saying he's a top prospect but we all know he's got the tools and in the three games where he started game prepping with the StriVR equipment for about 20 or 30 minutes prior to the game, he jumped to 45 of 59 for 637 yards, 4 TD and 1 INT, with 21 runs for 142 yards and 1 more TD. They went from a team that I believe was notorious for their red zone problems (scoring on only 50 percent of red zone trips) to being a team that scored on all 27 of their trips inside the red zone. They hung 38 points on Cal, 31 points on 10th ranked UCLA and then 45 points on Maryland in the bowl game.

    That is an incredible performance to close out the year. As I said, prior to that they were only scoring on 50 percent of trips inside the red zone (in part due to some failed decisions to go for it on 4th down)...and they were a team that could only hang up 10 points on USC, 20 points on Washington, 14 points on Notre Dame, 10 points on Arizona State, 16 points on Oregon, 17 points on Utah.

    Is that all because he was getting immersive QB-oriented views of defensive looks that he might see in certain situations during the game? I don't know the answer to that. The StriVR people believe so but they have every incentive to believe that because they're trying to sell their methodology (the beauty of which is probably in the way they film the practices as the equipment itself isn't necessarily new) to NFL and college teams.

    But they point out a play against Maryland in the bowl game that could resonate. Stanford called "95 Bama" on the first drive of the second half, a strong side run that requires the wide receiver to make a key block on the strong safety. But the Terps shifted their SAM to an on the line position and rotated the strong safety down as the free safety came up single-high. Hogan had seen the Terps' blitz looks several times during the VR sessions just prior to the game's start and so it was "easy" (in his own words) to recognize the look and make the right kill call to have a guard kick out and take out that attacking safety. The play resulted in a 35 yard gallop by Remound Wright.

    I'm just saying that if you can expect more of what we saw in those last three games from Kevin Hogan...not only will Stanford be a helluva tough team to contend with, but with Hogan's physical tools we could end up seeing him discussed in those upper levels of the draft.

    Corner and defensive end.

    Wake is getting older, and OV will be a free agent with truly ridiculous contract demands that FAR outstretch his worth. Grimes is the oldest corner in football and will be entering the third year of a three year contract that might never have been intended to be seen to completion.

    These are KEY positions you need to make sure are filled at all times. It's great that Miami has bodies like Brice McCain, Bobby McCain, Jamar Taylor and Tony Lippett at the corner position but these are guys fighting for #2 and #3 spots. Maybe one of those guys jumps up and surprises us and looks #1 worthy. But right now if you're thinking that Grimes could be a cap casualty after this year then that position is a body without a head. And defensive end is a position begging for you to find Wake's eventual successor...which means a premium investment.

    That's where my focus would be if I were the Dolphins. I'd be looking at premium corners and premium defensive ends.

    I think that we should also draft a good QB this year to backup Tannehill and eventually compete for the top spot. I really like Ryan but I never want to go through what we did after Marino retired up until Tannehill..it was simply poor preparations for the departure of Marino..We had absolutely no one on the roster that was groomed and ready..There are several QB's that are looking pretty good going into this season. I also agree with CK that we need to invest into another playmaking DE as well as CB...We could also look at LB but I really feel strongly that we will have a pretty good LB group this year..all of the UDFA we picked up should get a real good chance to win jobs because the talent is there in those players if they can put it all together.

    Imagine if we had grabbed Ansah instead of Jordan. We'd basically have Detroit's D-line with Wake at the other end spot. :pity:


    .... and yes please to DE & CB. maybe a FS too...... and a TE I would imagine as well since Cameron inked for 2 yrs, which as we know is how long it frequently takes most TEs to develop into starters. Spend a 3rd or 4th on a high upside guy now so he's ready when we need him ready.

    watch out for Josh freeman taking that role next year for Moore, they may keep three to hang onto him, and rehabilitate his game then either trade him or let him be ryans backup moving forward.

    I agree. But, I also think you may still have to look at OG in the 1st 3 rounds. And, possibly even LT. But, I really think DE is a key spot to draft high.

    The reports were pretty unanimous that for most of the OTAs and mini camps, Freeman was looking pretty awful. Not sure it's a surprise to see him cut and surely never saw any prediction about him becoming our new Matt Moore.

    TE Pharaoh Brown, Oregon (Class: 2016)

    This is probably the most legitimate tight end in the class. He plays really well in all phases. His ability to run is an asset in combination with his blocking in that spacing-oriented offense that focuses so much on getting the defense flowing laterally. On pass routes, I love how he creates separation with his hands even if the defense doesn't forget about him (which is all too common in tight ends). The defense will have guys in man coverage on him, and he will look like he should be covered, but then suddenly he's got separation.

    Devastating injury, almost lost his leg. Two months on bed rest. Hope he comes back from it, I know the people around him are optimistic. If he does, he's the best tight end in the class most likely.

    Man, Colorado was B-A-D.

    Giving Sefo Liufau no help here.

    His center gets trucked over by UCLA's sophomore defensive tackle Kenny Clark (who interests me), what are you supposed to do with that big body right in your face at the bottom of your drop? So many snaps, OLs just breaking down all over the place. Then he gets out of the pocket and tries to get the ball to someone cross body on the run, ball wasn't necessarily perfect but it goes right off the guy's pads. You've got flat routes where the guy isn't even getting his head around in time so Sefo has to pump it and wait to throw. You've got coverage dictating some good spacing for flat routes out of the backfield but then Eric Kendricks is covering an enormous amount of ground and snuffing the plays out before they could do damage. Guys are not getting open in man coverage. Receivers refuse to break off their routes and come back for the football when the quarterback is scrambling for his life. Stupid penalties too, guys not knowing the snap count, etc.

    The coaches get in on that act too, making substitutions and play calls on the goal line with like 18 seconds left to go in the half and zero timeouts. By not calling a QB spike you basically ensured that you would have ONE play to try and get a touchdown or else walk away with zero points in a 24-14 ball game. So what happens? A lineman forgets the snap count and triggers a ten second runoff for a false start, end of half. But even if that hadn't happened they were about to snap the football with maybe one second left on the clock. Or maybe they wouldn't have got it off at all. That's directly on coaching.

    It's frightening how badly coached Colorado's offense looked. Only Nelson Spruce plays competent football over there. Liufau definitely has warts but he's drowning with this team around him. The only thing Colorado could do well in this game was space out the defense and then run the ball with smaller, faster, shifty runners, leveraging the threat of the zone read.

    As for Liufau himself, it's clear the guy is running for his life but it's also clear he can throw the football into tight windows. Very accurate at times, with a live arm. What I don't like is how many times during the game I can tally that he held the ball about a beat too long, looked a bit like a man without a quick enough plan. That's got to change in 2015 if he wants to be a decent draft pick. He needs to improve his footwork in the pocket a LOT. I'm a little spoiled this way as I spend so much time watching Rakeem Cato, who really shows you how it's done. Finally there's just some off accuracy throws he needs to clean up, missing real high etc.

    For all the offense looking like a train wreck they tied the game up at 31-31 to go into overtime against UCLA. They did that on a combination of the running in open spaces, and Liufau's arm.

    CK, feel free to move this, but here's the Senior Bowl's 375 player "Watch List" for this year. 'Bama leads all teams with 12 players. Michigan State is second with 10. Auburn, Arizona State, Georgia, and Utah (Miami pipeline in recent years) all have 9.

    http://www.seniorbowl.com/watch-list-profiles.php

    You can use the search bar in the link to look at the list by player, position and school. Default is alphabetical by last name, just FYI.

    The senior QBs that have my eye include:

    QB Connor Cook, Michigan State
    QB Jacoby Brissett, North Carolina State
    QB Cody Kessler, USC
    QB Kevin Hogan, Stanford
    QB Brandon Doughty, Western Kentucky

    All of those guys have prototypical pro skill sets, although Kessler falls short of typical height prototypes.

    Cook strikes me as legitimately the best quarterback in the class right now. Brissett only has one year of starting and needs to come a little further but showed a whole lot in a short amount of time. Kessler had a bumpy start but has become legitimately good and was the best of the group close to the end zone. Hogan has had trouble in the past reading defenses quickly but his use of VR technology pre-game to simulate defensive looks may be an equation-changer as he performed ideally once he began using the technology. It may have sped up his growth as a player considerably. Doughty has ideal size and arm to go along with legit accuracy.

    Some underclassmen I have my eye on:

    QB Jared Goff, California
    QB Christian Hackenberg, Penn State
    QB Gunner Kiel, Cincinnati
    QB Paxton Lynch, Memphis
    QB Jeremy Johnson, Auburn
    QB Sefo Liufau, Colorado

    Any single one of these guys could end up the best of the group, IMO. I think after some more consideration, Goff is legitimately the top contender in the group. His ability to process under live conditions and execute with timing is pretty good, and he combines that with good accuracy. Hackenberg still has not lived up to all of the hype but he has a pro skill set. Gunner Kiel needs to be more stable on the field and not go through such periods of emotional letdown and bad execution. Otherwise he's got all of the passing skills and can appear especially deadly at reading the middle of the field. There's too much we just don't know about Jeremy Johnson. Sefo Liufau has to use his feet better inside the pocket, speed up his decision making, and eliminate "WTF" inaccurate throws, but he is big with a strong arm and the consistent ability to fit the ball into super tight windows, also displaying some execution savvy. Paxton Lynch can do anything with the football in terms of throwing it anywhere on the field. He has immense size and combines it with the athletic ability to hurt defenses with his feet. But he needs to clean up his pocket execution and footwork, and not force so many throws.

    I did not include Cardale Jones there because honestly I'm not sure we will even see Cardale Jones in 2015. I think J.T. Barrett is the better man to lead that offense and if he stays healthy this year then Cardale just rides the pine. Obviously Cardale's combo of arm and athletic ability are compelling but he does remind me of Jamarcus Russell in more ways than one.

    As an OSU fan, I agree with literally all of this. I think Cardale certainly has arm talent, but if you look at how bad Alabama's deep coverage was as a whole last year, what Cardale did to them isn't all that eye-opening in terms of how he attacked down the field. Personally, I think he benefited more often than not from guys like Devin Smith tracking and adjusting to the ball and coming down with it, boosting his numbers.

    OT: Made a bet with a friend that Ohio State would have 4 or less players drafted in round one. He says 5 or more. What's your take on it? Guys I could see in round one would be: Bosa, though it's somewhat alarming how much his production dropped off against Wiconsin, Michigan State, 'Bama, and Oregon, Ezekiel Elliott, and either Taylor Deckor or Adolphus Washington. Darron Lee, if he declares, could be another.

    I'm not as high one guys like Vannett, Bell or Smith.

    http://www.saturdaydownsouth.com/arkansas-football/arkansas-te-hunter-henry-secs-biggest-matchup-nightmare/

    This is a great breakdown on Hunter Henry (with video) - though the speed numbers are probably overdone, Arkansas' great TE who is getting All-America considerations from several outlets. He has very good overall ability and size, and can block (unlike a number of TEs in the game today).

    He's a junior so there's no guarantee he'll come out. But, if he has a great year and his speed is there (I've seen him described as anywhere from 4.6 to 4.8), he could easily be a #1 pick - which would further induce him coming out.

    And, in line with Miami's needs, he could be a perfect fit for the Dolphins.

    RB Devontae Booker for Utah looking good after contact so far. Keep seeing that 815 of his yards were after contact last year. Although I have no clue where they're getting that stat. Is that something ESPN is keeping now? Will be curious to see how his numbers work out after this Michigan game. Definitely has fight when he gets hit, not sure if he's big/strong enough to keep that up though.

    Edit: Ugh 20 carries for 49 yards so far through the fourth quarter. Long of 10 so far. Well you can't win them all

    Emmanuel Ogbah still quite the conundrum.

    Gifted as all get-out but he'd better start showing more than one pass rush move. The cameras are rolling.

    His 6'5" & 250 lbs senior defensive end teammate Jimmy Bean is showing more technique. But there's no question Ogbah is the bigger, stronger, more explosive player.

    And you ain't got nothin to be ashamed of with Devontae Booker.

    First goddamn play of the film he shows what he's about. The hands on this kid out of the backfield are incredible, and he really runs well with the ball in his hands too.

    I'm telling ya. Anyone that doesn't think Devontae Booker had a good day against Michigan is just talking purely from a statistical standpoint. On film he was superb.

    Among others who I see talking about it on Twitter. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad that people are getting interested in stats, especially for draft stuff. But the only people actually doing it right are PFF. Everyone else is doing one-off charting efforts and then saying "OH NO Cardale Jones only threw 3/7 on out breaking routes". So? Do you have anything to reference that against? Other players? Past performance?

    Obviously interest in those stats will help it expand to a more advanced level, but right now I feel like people are throwing out some pretty misleading articles for page views. I'm interested in some of the charting people are doing, but want to see breakdowns waaay further. My interest right now is in play locations (snap location, throw location, receiver location) and movement (movement from snap, movement in the pocket, etc), but I don't have the time or energy to chart that stuff myself.

    My goodness...QB Josh Rosen of UCLA was incredible last weekend against Virginia.

    We're gonna have fun watching him for the next few years.

    Vernon Hargreaves is one of the best corners I've watched in a long time. True shutdown corner potential..

    It's fun to watch college players become good pros and to evaluate that process

    But I've also had some fun evaluating high school players for their transition to college and finding diamonds in the rough that way. Alex Collins of Arkansas is a good example of a guy I really adored that ended up really good. But also I have to watch QB Chase Litton of Marshall, a local Tampa kid that I've had my eye on since he was a junior in high school.

    Very tall kid, great arm talent, really good release, posture, poise, footwork. Everything looks the way it should. He actually reminds me a bit of Peyton with his mechanics and the way he carries his body and throws the football, which isn't a bad thing obviously. But he also played basketball in college and showed off some agility that way and that was an area I saw him make true strides going from junior to senior year in high school.

    Not a mature kid. Got in trouble for stealing golf equipment at a country club. Committed to USF and then de-committed because he didn't like the way the staff handled him. I put that on both sides. Didn't have good enough grades to enroll in a big program right away, had to go to a prep school for a year.

    The thing about that stuff is, for starters he was like 16 years old when he got caught stealing and 16 year olds do dumb sh-t when they think they're king of the world. And he was kind of a local king sh-t here as he not only was a star QB for his school (Wharton) but he was the quarterback for the Team Tampa 7-on-7 team which is a big deal for anyone that knows football recruiting. But also I look at the family. To me, if a kid has gone wrong but he's got a good family environment, that's going to turn around 9 times out of 10 unless you can be relatively certain drugs have entered the picture. I don't know about the latter but I do know he's got a good family structure around him.

    Quite coincidentally, Marshall University ended up with the kid. I was already following that team religiously because I'd been a big fan of Rakeem Cato, Devon Johnson, etc. He's a freshman and he already climbed up the depth chart all the way to 4th string, beating two entrenched players for the 3rd and then 2nd spot. The starter was Michael Birdsong, a humongous 6'5" and 250 pound transfer they pulled from James Madison. Ideal arm strength on Birdsong, and you'd be shocked how fast he is at that size (though not quick). Even so I questioned his playing speed in the pocket and his accuracy and those chickens have come to roost as he struggled at times against Purdue and then laid an egg in a loss to Ohio University.

    But he suffered some injuries and that opened the door for Chase Litton to play against Norfolk State. Now, it's just Norfolk State, but Litton was like 24 of 31 for 270 yards, 4 TD and 0 INT with 4 runs for 27 yards, 1 sack for -1 yards. I say with a clear conscience that I don't think Michael Birdsong would have done that, even against Norfolk State. I wish I could review the tape of that game but I haven't found it anywhere.

    If won the lottery I do think I'd like to try working with a college team on recruiting. I think it would be fun to help a team build it's talent base.

    Terrible to see a player of that caliber go down.

    Paxton Lynch is putting together one hell of a run and might end up considered the best QB in the Draft when all is said and done.

    Just saying.

    Halfway through this, you're going to see a double reverse flea flicker for a touchdown. Paxton Lynch throws this ball on a dime 64 yards through the air with PACE.

    The amount of confidence you need in a QB's arm to even call this play is mind boggling to me. As it stands, flea flickers take a while to develop and so quarterbacks need to have a good arm to be able to have a hope of hitting the receiver in stride. This flea flicker started off a double reverse, so it took even MORE time to develop, and he's even deeper in the backfield. Now you have to be confident your QB can heave the football 60+ yards (which is a HIGHLY uncommon distance), AND you need confidence that he can do it with pace. If he can't heave it 64 yards like he did, then it's underthrown and the defense can catch up. If he can't put pace on the 64 yard throw, again it's underthrown and the defense has time to catch up. All of that is dictated by the timing of the play. So you need to know he can do both things, heave it that far AND put pace on it, in order to have confidence in that play call.

    Remarkable.

    If he changes his name and grows a beard, can we draft Fournette in 2016?
