Westbrook isn't underrated he is ignored - he's not on our board because of his multiple DV issues in much the same way that devonte fields and Joe Mixon are definitely not on our board either
pocic has and will have problems with leverage at the next level due to his height - and while some of the media have him as the top center in the draft, they also have a late 2nd/3rd round grade on him - he's a guy who could have a very steep learning curve - I wouldn't hate the pick completely but I think there'll be better value at other positions when he's on the board
i have 7th round/Udfa grades on both coley and Myers with much better developmental options available in the 5th for sure and maybe the 6th as well - someone like switzer or kd canon or darboh or Etta-tawo or Scott or Reynolds could be around in the 5th and Myers to me looks like a guy who will be at best a swing tackle but likely falls out of the league - ironically I disagree that he's slow... for me the best thing about him is his quickness albeit he has unspectacular footwork, relies too often on finesse rather than punching with his good reach and never seems to complete a power block in the run game - he has uneven temperament and a proven inability to maintain consistency - he's ok in the run game but was pretty poor in pass protection except against the bull rush - he had one really good game that i watched against San Diego state so I guess he has some upside to him but he looks to me like a guy more likely to go undrafted and bounce out of the league than someone who makes themselves a career - he looks a much better prospect in a zone scheme which we seem to be moving away from as well (just as the cherry on top) - and the reason he is a reach is because in a deep class like this there are still impact players available in the 6th round or even the 7th
Hmmm.... okay thanks for sharing your thoughts.... I have watched Myers play in several games this season and he is a force. I felt that he was on the slow side and a move inside would be realistic at the next level but in my opinion... I think he has the talent to play at the next level. I did see some nastiness and he seems to be a good fit in the Greg Roman system. Myers do wall people off more then drive them off but I felt that has everything to do with the NIU system. Watch him in goal line and short yardage situations. This is where I was most impressed with him. I read Prisco's report on him and Kipers and felt they were seeing some of the same things that I did.... So I was curious what you were seeing. I will agree to disagree with you on Myers but thanks for your response. This is CBSsports profile on Levon Myers Player Overview Myers possesses the frame, power and nastiness that NFL teams are looking for. He is not particularly light on his feet, however, which could mean that another move - this time inside - is in his future. STRENGTHS: Myers is a hulking presence with broad shoulders, long arms and a thick middle, including wide hips and a big bubble which helps him physically maul opponents. He shows at least adequate initial quickness at the snap, easing out of his stance with short, power steps and with his knees bent and butt down, leaving him balanced and ready to anchor against bull rushers. He is patient in pass protection, forcing opponents to complete a wide arc around him and is typically able to control opponents once he latches on, showing impressive upper body strength and good hand placement. He keeps defenders on their toes by occasionally mixing in a cut block, showing surprising quickness and body control to sweep the legs out from opponents legally and effectively. Myers shows some nastiness in his play, looking to knock defenders to the ground when he senses them off-balance, including those consumed with battling the left guard. With just two starting seasons under his belt, Myers potentially has untapped potential still to develop. WEAKNESSES: Frankly, Myers is powerful but slow. He does not possess the footwork required to remain at left tackle in the NFL. He shows only average initial quickness in pass protection. He lumbers off the ball when asked to block on the move, struggling to get to and re-direct at the second level. IN OUR VIEW: Myers possesses the powerful frame and mindset to warrant a mid to late round consideration but his future in the NFL may lie inside at guard rather than tackle, a position he did not play at NIU. COMPARES TO: Rick Wagner, Baltimore Ravens: Though Myers opted to join the Huskies rather than the Badgers, scouts could be reminded of Wagner, a former UW tackle. Myers is projected to slide to guard, where his size and strength are complemented (and his average agility is mitigated).
