I am on the Cody Latimer bandwagon - Page 2

RunKC · 04-23-2014, 01:41 PM

6'3" 215 lbs, 39 inch vertical, 4.38 speed.

This guy fits the WCO perfectly. He is a former basketball player with really strong hands and great hand-eye coordination.

This guy tore up Michigan State and got a TD on Dennard. He made him look helpless out there. Also had 9 TD's and 1,000 plus yards with a shitty QB.
I think Beckham Jr. Is a pipe dream at this point, but I'd definitely take this kid.

This guy can easily overpower small Db's and his speed is legit enough to desperate, as he did in college.

Admittedly I remember very little about watching him play. But that writeup screams Dwayne Bowe, to me.

Perhaps in stature only. Latimer is faster and not a knucklehead.

I've never once read a draft report from Nolan Nawrocki that didn't make it look like he was outright insulting the player. They're always something like:

"Slow, stupid, and weak-willed. A huge coward with no honor. Probably lazy, too. Too fat and too entitled from his supportive coaching environment and parents who called him every day to say they loved him. With time could maybe learn to master simple special teams alignments or serve as a FB or H-back in short yardage situations as long as he was never trusted with the ball."

Draft projection: Round 3

While Kiper is no scout, I do look to his rankings because they are based on what people tell him. I think his big board is much more of a popularity contest than it is a player evaluation spreadsheet.

Which is fine. Cody Latimer might be a third round player, but based on his ranking with Kiper, he won't last that long. Too much buzz.

Makes you wonder how much of the draft process is people rolling with group think.

Maybe. But the NFL has invited 30 prospects to attend the draft... and one of them is Latimer. Now obviously, all 30 are not likely to be selected on day 1... but each invite would seem to indicate that these prospects are highly regarded around the League camps... where most will be 1st rounders and the rest 2nd rounders.

Simple. He's good and started this process extremely undervalued.

Right. He was overlooked... and then when he put up the numbers he did, it gave scouts the motivation to check him out. Once they did, they liked.

It's not.

This is likely where the nfl guys have had him pegged for a while, the media guys are just now getting wind of it, hence the stock rise.

Guys don't rise and fall like the media makes it seem.

Bullshit. Someone's 40 time jumps them up every year.
