Alfred Collins @alfredcollins99 from @TexasFootball is slowly becoming one of my favorite DT prospects in the #NFLDraft

He reminds me an awful lot of Jonathan Allen, and while some have him in round 2, I’m planting my flag right here, tonight:

After the Senior Bowl, @seniorbowl Alfred Collins WILL be a first round selection. Hands down. #PlantYourFlag

[Bill Sparks @SparkScouting]

I’m with Jacob on this one, Gerald Christian-Lichtenhan, or GCL, is a mountain of a man who moves with some serious athletic ability. Reminds me of Trent Brown in his younger years, and I have him right around round 5 as far as grade. But his size and skill set are about to be all over draft media, just remember the two you heard it from #NFLDraft

Listen, I’ve been intrigued on the tape by Lacarea Pleasant-Johnson, a 6’1”, 180 lb cornerback from Southern Utah University. @LaCarea3100

With some excellent football IQ and some amazing defensive instincts, you can definitely see that he has a HOF Uncle in Tony Dungy. (@TonyDungy)

He also brings a combination of length, speed, and physicality to the secondary, with the versatility to play both cornerback, safety and nickel positions.

Pleasant-Johnson has also shown some impressive athleticism on the tape and has been showcasing his ability to cover ground quickly and keep pace with vertical threats. My eyes would wager he likely runs in the neighborhood of a 4.4 40 yard dash time 👀

Overall, Pleasant-Johnson’s combination of physical attributes and versatility make him a compelling prospect for teams seeking depth and potential in their secondary.

His tape is reminiscent of Darius “Big Play” Slay, and I’m telling you now, be prepared to see his name called on day 3 of the draft 👀

#NFLDraft Time to poll the masses of draft gurus out there:

Of these 4 #Quarterbacks , who’s got the highest ceiling and who has the lowest floor:

- Will Howard
- Jaxson Dart
- Dillion Gabriel
- Riley Leonard

#DawgPound for all the KS/Berry haters out there…this is a hell of a read on the state of the Nation in Berea, and I’d recommend the read as well #Browns

[Bill Sparks @SparkScouting]

#NFLDraft listen, I’m a fanatic when it comes to the draft cycle and all prospects, so believe me when I say this; Kai Kroeger has a rocket on his foot.

Averaging almost 48 yards per punt and has had a 75 yard punt this season? This man is a field flipping machine, and I’m gonna need the media to catch up on him (looking at you, @PatMcAfeeShow )

Congrats Kai @kai_kroeger !

[Bill Sparks @SparkScouting]

#NFLDraft depending on how you view Jalon Walker (edge vs LB) Jihaad Campbell from @AlabamaFTBL is LB1 or LB2.

Either way, this is a guy who can sneak into round 1 considerations with the tape and traits he has, including his size and speed and discipline in watching the offenses in front of him. This man is going to be a terror for offenses on Sunday in the #NFL

Popping this here, but #DawgPound should definitely trade back into round 1 for the 5th year option for Jalen Milroe, as he’s going to need some development before he’s ready to roll. But with his ceiling? He’s QB3 for me right now imo.

[Bill Sparks @SparkScouting]

#NFLDraft LeQuint Allen from @CuseFootball is a sleeper that you should get to know in this draft class at RB. With play style that reminds me a lot of Ty Chandler, this is a guy who’s going to make an NFL RB room even deeper imo #NFL

#NFLDraft listen, it’s about time we had the conversation about @UCLAFootball and the defensive prospects they’ve sent to the draft this year:

Jay Toia, DT - A stout run defender and a brick freaking wall

Carson Schwesinger, LB - A tackling machine (136 tackles) but also is versatile enough to play in coverage

Oluwafemi Oladejo, LB - excellent run defender and a developing pass rusher who can stand up or play hand in the dirt

Devin Kirkwood, CB - Tall framed lengthy athletic nightmare for opposing WRs.

Building off of last year where they sent Laiatu Latu and the Murphy brothers to league? Hate to say it, but #UCLA might be more of a defensive factory that we wanna admit.
