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.

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.

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.
GO Gators!!!!!!
GO GATORS!!

Ummm...you realize what comparison implies?

FWIW Mayock today says Floyd could be a target at 3 for Raiders.
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.
Your point is irrelevant. Am I supposed to thank you for "educating" me or something?
I would not disagree with your point if I actually said the things you claim I said. If you would pull your arrogant ego out of it you would see that you were merely trying to win a point rather than discuss the prospect. I never said Floyd and Poe had the same responsibilities and skills. I was stating that they are both physical freaks with more in potential than on college tape and SF will go high for that reason (coaches will want to mold the physical ability) but that I do believe Floyd has shown more of the latter at least. Stop being a douche.

Tell me oh wise draft boy, the difference between a 1 gap assignment and a 2 gap assignment, I shoe nuff dont undastan wat these boys be doin on do foosball feeld. i dun even no wat a gap is!! LOLOLZZ
Wow...again quite clear you don't get the point. Not a big deal, its simply a poor comparison. No reason to get all upset about it.
Yes. I dont get the point. Thanks for teaching me about defensive line assignments. I look forward to your explaining to me what a football is in the future.
Sharrif Floyd = Trent Williams
