NFL Combine Starts Today

Eli Manning ran the 40 in 4.92.
Dwayne Haskins ran it in 5.04.
That is going to hurt his draft stock.
 
"Jamal is on pace to become the highest drafted player since Jay Bromley back in 2014 (74th overall pick, third rounder)."
WOW I think we all where guessing way low...
 
Wait, Custis is projected in the top 100 now? Man, would love to hear Whigham’s thoughts. He echoed a lot of appreciation and criticism I’ve had for Jamal.

The Bizarro Goat as he beat the Goat twice.
I don’t think though even Kaiser would say Eli is athletic which was the point about Haskins.
I would say without a doubt Brady’s biggest weakness is athleticism.

Good good let Haskins fall to the phins. I’ll take a statue in the pocket.

Eli is not athletic, but he was a good athlete.

Not so much anymore.

P-Dot, (Paul Dotino) on the radio today just threw a TON of shade at Haskins. Said most scouts and GMs have him as mid 2, ranked in the 40s... but since he’s a QB, he will obviously go higher.

Not sure what Blue is thinking now, like care taker said, that dook QB had to crow hop his deep ball, he’s out.

Might D or OT rnd 1 and see what’s happening late 1 and jump back in.
 
100% fine with the phins rebuilding around Haskins or Locke if they won’t do the right thing and tank for Lawrence.

I’d gather picks to go after Russel Wilson or sign Foles and shore up the line.

You want to bet Big Blue’s future on any of those guys at 6?

Jamal Custis
For those of you who want a more detailed resume on Jamal, the latest I can find from Brad Kelly of The Draft Network on five of his skill sets and an overall summary:

Route Running - Nearly all of his route running comes on the vertical plane after an outside release. A host of Go routes, fades, and comebacks. Not asked to run many double moves or routes that require nuance in his stem. Operates well against press coverage, utilizing his length with above average suddenness for his size. Violent hand usage throughout his stem and at the top of the route, creating separation with physicality when necessary. Consistently operating with a clean frame as a result of his physicality.

Hands /Ball Can pluck and stab the ball out of the air when necessary. Has shown easy adjustments and one-handed catches due to strength in his hands, with his rep against Western Michigan being the prime example. Will rely on over the shoulder or body catches down the field, leaving a bit to be desired in the consistency of his ball skills. Will use his hands to catch the ball in the short and intermediate, or when extension is absolutely necessary. Not many drops shown on film, enhancing the idea that he can be effective as a possession piece at the next level.

Body Control - Beautiful adjustments to the football, able to seamlessly flip his hips and position himself at the catchpoint. Late adjustments to the football to not tip off the defensive back. Aware of the boundary and can effortlessly turn his body and get upfield after corralling the ball. While effective, there isn't much attacking of the football in contested spots. His size is a massive advantage, and if he can harness his body control in order to get the most out of his ball skills, we'd be talking about a dominant possession receiver.
Stalk Blocking - Effective as a stalk blocker and when his blocking is schemed into the play. Does an excellent job of selling a vertical route before transitioning into a blocker, getting the defensive back on their heels. Physical, strength in his chest. Even when his feet aren't buzzing and he isn't driving, he is difficult for defensive backs to disengage from because of his length.

Versatility - Despite only starting for one season, he has experience playing on the outside and in the slot. His vertical presence is obvious, but he needs to grow as a complete route runner. The tools for this are obvious on film, and it can likely come with extra playing time at the next level. While some will want likely him to be a "Big Slot" receiver, I think his best fitis as an outside presence.


  • BEST TRAIT – Body Control

    WORST TRAIT – Ball Carrier

    RED FLAGS – None

    A relative unknown entering the season, Custis parlayed a strong senior season into an invite to the East-West Shrine game. His lack of production before this season will be a concern, but he showed enough traits to warrant a draftable grade. For example, few receivers have his natural ability down the field, and his body control could become a major weapon. He will need time and extra reps to develop, but his ceiling is that of an NFL starter.

Do these guys not watch any tape? "Not many drops shown on film'... lets hope the scouts don't realize you can find games on YouTube. I'll never understand pro scouts who ignore 4 years of opinion based on running in shorts. Having said all that I hope he is a first round pick and can help HCDB get some 5* talent into the house.

I would be extremely shocked if Jamal goes in the first 4 rounds. Best of luck to him and great for SU if he does but...
