Blinkscout S Combine Analysis

This is not a great group, and it's not a good year to be an average rookie safety with all the cuts to safeties and all the talent lying around.
I'll likely have Tyler Nubin in my top 64 but that's it.

As I've mentioned before, I pull the list from PFF so the two #s are snap counts and PFF grading. If I had done that last year I would have noticed Kobie Turner.

In my opinion, we don't draft this position until at least the 5th (unless we get an extra pick in trade down).



Andre Sam LSU 767 71.2 Just a guy ... doesn't really stand out anywhere. His drills were decent.

Beau Brade Maryland 729 67.8 DNP ... if there's any chance he slides I'm all over it.

Calen Bullock USC 845 71.5 This guy is polarizing for a number of reasons ... but his athleticism is not one. 6-2 188 ... smooth drills .. 4.48 is above average and the 1.51 split shows burst. I think he'll be gone by the fifth.

Cole Bishop Utah 587 65.6 Have yourself a day bruh! He separated form the mid tier into the top tier with that. His tape is good but no way did I see him rolling out a 4.45 (at 6-2, 206) with a 39 vert. He made as much money as anyone in the Indy with that.

Dadrion Taylor-Demerson Texas Tech 815 78.5 Really helped himself through the postseason process. 5-10 197 and sharp to react ... good burst numbers. I expect him off the board in the 3rd or 4th. PFF grade is high in this bunch. I'm not sold until round 5 or 6.

Daijahn Anthony Mississippi 713 71.6 He has okay tape ... decent split time but long speed is not so good.

Demani Richardson Texas A&M 695 68.8 Solid tackler but lacks overall athleticism.

Dominique Hampton Washington 973 66.2 A bit of a surprise on the 3 cone and short shuttle so keep an eye on him. 6-2 215 is a great special teams size for that kind of movement skills.

Evan Williams Oregon 744 75.9 Been a fan for years since he was a Fresno State kiddo. I figured 4.6 ... but he jumped 40 inches. He's got great instincts and I love him as a leader.

Jaden Hicks Washington State 788 76.6 6-2 211 ... no 40 time, 37 vert and 6.88 3 cone, so he's on my radar for the 5th or 6th.

James Williams Miami 730 74.3 6-4 231 ... unlike Carlies I think he's a LB. And even then not draftable. 30 inch vert basically gets you pulled.

Javon Bullard Georgia 596 82.8 Notably high PFF grade and likely a member of the run on Safeties in round 3 (My guess) 4.47 40 at 200 lbs. ... good split time (1.51) ... tough to se great safety play on a team with a front 7 like theirs.

Jaylen Key Alabama 693 69.1 Doesn't stand out really. I mean the freshman Downs made hiim invisible.

Jaylin Simpson Auburn 650 76.9 6-0 180 ... good athlete ... 11 foot broad, 4.45 40 ... Tape was meh.

Jaylon Carlies Missouri 687 68.3 He's a safety. 4.50 40, hands, smooth movement skills. 6-3 227. 10-5 broad ... 20 reps.

Josh Proctor Ohio State 625 77.9 Doesn't stand out ... tape is okay ... leadership?

Kamren Kinchens Miami 638 67.8 Came in as the #1, will leave as top 5 after running like a slower LB at 4.65. 9-2 broad jump? That's just really surprising given his tape. It can be ignored at some positions ... tougher here.

Kitan Oladapo Oregon State 789 88.3 Big dude at 6-2 216 ... not as bursty as I'd like ... draftable? Maybe.

Malik Mustapha Wake Forest 670 79.6 No running #s, led in bench at 22. I'm not excited.

Millard Bradford TCU 606 69.2 Where are Bud Clark and Mark Perry? Bradford ran well, but had terrible drills I thought.

Patrick McMorris Cal 889 70.5 Avg. Tape at best, avg. drills, didn't run a 40.

Sione Vaki Utah 677 66.7 Wow on his drills, looked bursty and smooth. I mean, you draft him I think to have him be a special teamer and then you legit cross train him at S and RB in case of injury. Why not?

Tykee Smith Georgia 630 84.1 He and Bullard are similar. His burst #s aren't great but his instincts are solid.

Tyler Nubin Minnesota 768 89.7 Best in class after Kinchens went belly up. He was likely to be anyway. Great smooth confident drills. I don't really need his #s ... I can't see him doing THAT poorly and a 4.55 and 35 vert would be fine for him.

Tyler Owens Texas Tech 570 58.1 Doesn't believe in space. I guess with a 12-2 broad jump you don't have to believe. There are a lot of guys I'd draft before him ... and this class is going to not be hearing their names as much as others.



Questions and comments welcome ... I think DTs are next, Then off ball LBs, I'll save Edge for last.
