We finally get a black kid with a name you should be proud of and that is the response. SmhDennis_DeYoung said:whatever.gif

Who cares how tall he is when his hudl puts you to sleep? This whole tall corner fad is bullshit anyway. Pete Carroll somehow convinced himself that the only reason he couldn't play in the pros is because he's short, so he drafted a bunch of tall corners, exactly one of which turned out good.
Get good players first. After that you can care about what traits you want.
Jordan Miller's film wasn't that impressive, either. -
That is ridiculous. Pete knows he is also white.NorwegianHusky said:Not a fan tbh. Kentrell Love's hudl is straight up porn compared to this kid. If we still get Gordon and Irvin it's kind of whatever but I feel like we should aim much higher than this.

I trust Jimmy Lake's opinion more than anyone on this bored...including me.FKA_Mousecop said:
Yeah it's hard to gauge it when half the plays are just simple run defense, and the other half is just play that isn't flashy.Passion said:I like his size, but wasn't blown away by the highlight film.
What you can see is the mobility and athleticism. Obviously that camp paid dividends for him.
I'd go further to say that the quality of any internet recruiting analysis anywhere is the equivalent to Dawgman. If Jimmy Lake starts a website while employed at UW, then I will change that stance. -
Love is also still very raw

Well the Seahawks have had some great defenses with tall corners. Jones and King were pretty good for the Dawgs last year as well.NorwegianHusky said:Not a fan tbh.

All of those picks were day 3, they weren't supposed to be good.RoadDawg55 said:

Getting Richard Sherman and Byron Maxwell in the 5th and 6th respectively is a bad thing? -
Looking at West Coast Corners, there's a huge drop off from the elite guys to the mid-low 3 stars. Among the 3 star guys, Lake clearly picked Hampton as his favorite. At this point you kinda have to trust Lake's evals, and it looks like he got the developmental DB that he wanted.
As long as we can get at least one of Gordon/Irvin/Addison this DB class is pretty good. And if we get two of them then this DB class is awesome. Hampton's nothing special though, hopefully his Senior tape shows whatever Lake saw in him at camp.
