Draft Day #3 - Rounds 4 through 7: Who do you like?

[swiper]

How about Cyril Richardson?

CYRIL RICHARDSON, OG

SCHOOL: BAYLOR | CONFERENCE: BIG12
COLLEGE EXPERIENCE: SENIOR | HOMETOWN: FORT WORTH, TX
HEIGHT/WEIGHT: 6-5 / 329 LBS.

STRENGTHS WEAKNESSES

STRENGTHS: Dominating drive blocker had almost 100 knockdown blocks in 2013 with the girth and strength to engulf defenders. He carries his weight well for blocker in the 330-340 pound range, using his light feet to pull, seal and get to the second level to spring big runs. Terrifying power in short yardage to set and re-establish the line of scrimmage. When playing with an aggressive nature, he can control rushers and erase them from the play. Recovers well and uses angles with his wide base to latch-and-drive.WEAKNESSES: Not a perimeter blocker despite experience at left tackle as a sophomore. Speed and agility can give Richardson some problems, as noted at the 2014 Senior Bowl. Many of his issues occurred when forced to gather and redirect. Played in a unique up-tempo offense in which he wasn't asked to be a traditional pass blocker.

PLAYER OVERVIEW

Richardson was one of the heaviest left tackles in college football last season, protecting Robert Griffin III's blind side at 335-pounds. But he moved back inside to guard this past spring and is expected to start at left guard in 2012 for the Bears. A Fort Worth product, Richardson weighed 310-pounds out of high school and chose the Bears over hometown TCU. After redshirting in 2009, he played in 12 games in 2010 with four starts, all coming at left guard. Richardson moved to left tackle last season as a sophomore and started all 13 games for the 10-win Bears, earning All-Big 12 Honorable Mention honors. Richardson has a massive frame with a large wingspan to engulf defenders, but he tends to allow rushers into his body too often and needs to be more consistently aggressive with his limbs. Richardson is surprisingly nimble and carries his weight well, staying light on his feet and moving from side-to-side very easily. Although he held his own at tackle last season, Richardson should be even better as he returns to guard this fall, showing the potential to develop into a top-64 selection very soon.--Dane Brugler

Re: Draft Day #3 - Rounds 4 through 7: Who do you like?

Dunno.

I liked this description, though...

1. QB Tom Savage, Pittsburgh: Over the past few months, no player had more of a perceived jump up draft boards than Savage, who went from draft afterthought to potential crasher in the back-half of Round 1. But while he has the prototypical size and arm strength, his raw qualities from the neck up are why he's still available. lol.

Gary Rissling.

Re: Draft Day #3 - Rounds 4 through 7: Who do you like?

I have a hunch the 4th rounder will be used on RB, as the Bills prepare for life without Spiller. Seastrunk. Then I would like to see one 5th round go to DT with questions about Dareus. The other I would like to see used on a OG. I'm not a huge believer in Chris Williams. Finish off with a CB, because it wouldn't be a Bills draft without one.

Re: Draft Day #3 - Rounds 4 through 7: Who do you like?

Possible late round steals:

Devonta Freeman, RB Florida State
Dominique Easley, DT Florida
Aaron Murray, QB Georgia

Some examples are Jimmy Graham drafted 30th overall in the 3rd round in 2010, Ahmad Bradshaw drafted in the 7th round in 2007, and Asante Samuel drafted in the 4th round in 2003. Overall, you never know what you’re getting when you call a person’s name; you could be getting a potential starter in the later rounds or somebody fighting to keep their job in the first round.

Re: Draft Day #3 - Rounds 4 through 7: Who do you like?

What do you guys think about Yawin Smallwood? Is Preston Brown better?

[Don't Panic]

Re: Draft Day #3 - Rounds 4 through 7: Who do you like?

Richardson, Yankey or Urschel at G.

Savage or Thomas at QB.

Breeland and Desir at CB.

Re: Draft Day #3 - Rounds 4 through 7: Who do you like?

I like RB's Tyler Gaffney of Stanford and Storm Johnson of UCF. Both run between the tackles with power and have a burst of speed. They can also catch the ball.

[GvilleBills]

Re: Draft Day #3 - Rounds 4 through 7: Who do you like?

Possible late round steals:

[SIZE=3][FONT=arial]Devonta Freeman, RB Florida State
Dominique Easley, DT Florida
Aaron Murray, QB Georgia



http://isportsweb.com/2014/05/05/nfl-draft-possible-late-round-steals/

I would love nothing more than to steal Easley...from the Patriots... who drafted him in the first round.

[GvilleBills]

Re: Draft Day #3 - Rounds 4 through 7: Who do you like?

If we got Murray, I'd feel a lot better about next years first. He would be a great push for EJ.

Yankey, Seastrunk, Richardson would all be great additions to the team.

Tom Savage!!!
