Funny. I remember this entire board on Bryant and his type of player. Too short and stumpy. Why do we play these guys. Not long enough. Not fast enough. Short try-hard player.
I have no idea how Bryant will be evaluated; my sense is with guys like that (short and quick but lacking elite speed) the ones who get drafted 1-3 have serious highlight reels and big position stats.
Amadi admittedly is a bit of a tweener but at 200 lbs is more of a force against the run. Keep in mind too he had a great senior year with pretty solid stats as a safety, including a couple of pick 6s and was a talented punt returner. Bryant is more of a pure corner than Amadi and thus will be evaluated on that alone, for better and for worse.
Hard players to compare, but if I'm looking for a role player in the draft I'd take Amdadi first. -
He will play on Sundays for sure, not sure through the draft toughcreepycoug said:Funny. I remember this entire board on Bryant and his type of player. Too short and stumpy. Why do we play these guys. Not long enough. Not fast enough. Short try-hard player.

Bryant has enough juice and twitch to have a team take a flyer on him in the draft.
Plus, what he displays on tape is also going to be augmented by teams perceiving a positive reputation as being Jimmy lake/Peterman well trained, disciplined and okg shit.
So, if he keeps this up I can see maybe 3rd round tops for teams that play this kind of defense and fall in love with him and his combine workout and interview.
But realistically maybe 5-6th round ... maybe. He's kinda like Taylor Rapp but 3 inches shorter and 15-20 lbs lighter. -
That’s like saying I look like John Holmes minus about 6 inches and half the circumferences.....animate said:Bryant has enough juice and twitch to have a team take a flyer on him in the draft.

Saw some NFL mock drafts. It’s a deep draft for DB. If you’re a bubble player next draft may not be the year to test

Good post except he's nothing like Taylor Rapp.animate said:Bryant has enough juice and twitch to have a team take a flyer on him in the draft.

I have no idea how Brant will test, He would have to test in top 3 in all the speed and agility drills to go in the first 3 rounds. More likely someone takes a flyer on him in the 5th or 6th.
He is just too limited in the NFL because of his size. Any team he goes to will limit him strictly to specialty slot corner/nickel (on smaller WRs) and special teams duty. He wont be as effective against the run or blitzing in the NFL and he wont be able to cover NFL TEs or play any sort of safety.
He has been a great college player for us and thats really all that matters.
Molden has basically all the same limitations, I dont see him leaving early as a true junior. -
I think Bryant will go pretty high specifically to guard slot WR’s. It’s not s first round role, but teams needs guys like him who can cover and tackle.

Didn’t he grade out pretty high last year and we all were like DaFuq? This year he’s straight ballin’ like BBKRoadDawg55 said:I think Bryant will go pretty high specifically to guard slot WR’s. It’s not s first round role, but teams needs guys like him who can cover and tackle.
