Sharrif Floyd?

[CleveSteve]

Hey everyone, what are your opinions on Sharrif Floyd? I don't see much special from him. He was downright ordinary vs. Louisville, but he's rated very highly in a number of places. What am I missing? Thanks.

Re: Sharrif Floyd?

From what I hear 2011 was his best year on tape but he has not been highly productive statistically in any year. I think scouts like his versatility and potential and his hype from HS is still carrying over. I'm with you though, doesnt seem to stand out like a top 5-10 pick the way people say he's guaranteed to become.

Fits the versatility mold.

When you can move in ways 300 lb men usually don't you know coaches are going to want to coach you up. He is a better prospect than Poe.

They are also completely different prospects. Not sure that's a fair comp.

The comparison is that they are both tremendous athletes that may be drafted higher than their tape would garner but at least Floyd was more productive in a much tougher conference

But they do completely different things in a similar scheme. Poe's job was to take up space, eat up blockers, and collapse the pocket and he was very good at it. Floyd's job was to penetrate, crash the edge, and make plays which he was very good at. You're trying to take the label of DT (even though Floyd played a lot of DE at UF) and apply is evenly when that's neither fair or correct.

Tell me where I said they had the same assignment and I will apologize to them both personally.

Don't rate anyone in that Louisville game the Gators were plain out awful......
This wasnt the same group I saw vs A@M, LSU, or FSU...

Floyd is a beast great player and will only get better.
Great penetration into the backfield and very fast for a guy his size.

Ummm...you realize what comparison implies?

FWIW Mayock today says Floyd could be a target at 3 for Raiders.

Re: Sharrif Floyd?

What about it? And who first brought up the term? I could have just as easily said the Floyd train was similar to Chandler Jones or JPP would that have made you feel better? Worse?

I'm not quite sure you understand my point if you think a different comparison to an equally illogical prospect makes a difference.

You're point is a straw man.

Matt Elam was still very good in that game. Only gator that showed up IMO.

I'm now 100% sure you don't understand the point.
