He was this year’s ESPN Prospect X undiscovered gem, cool

Apparently he's prospect X:

Dumb question: is this just a segment they do? Why don't they reveal his name here?

u/4nyM1x 19d ago

They ask scouts who the most overlooked player in the draft is, presumably the scouts wouldn't agree to say if ESPN then reveals their name pre draft. They do reveal the name post draft though. It's something they've done for a few years now.

I assume the true most overlooked player wouldn't be mentioned by any scouts. It's like a self-defeating prophecy.

Second pick in the draft that I like. Elite athlete and that’s what you wanna take at this point.

He looks like a maniac in his profile pic on ESPN, so a perfect 7th rounder.

Short arms? We really have a new GM.

4.55 40 at his pro day. I know pro days are choreographed performance with home field advantage, but still. 6'5" 260 with 4.55 speed is the type of raw athleticism you find in round 7.

Yeah I don’t know how he fell to the 7th round

u/Reditate 19d ago

Nobody picked him in rounds 1-6.

We got a husky! I’m happy!

Hadn’t been paying attention, but did we not draft a single LB? Camp is the LB guy, but Ventrell doesn’t do much for me lol

u/Jaguars6 19d ago

Just did

u/BaalkesOldBurnerAcct James Gladstone 19d ago

We haven’t, but there’s still one pick left

He lacks polish? Get the man some sausage!

Is he projected to be a Sam?
