Here’s your opportunity to talk about the prospect you like the most
Now that it’s officially April, let’s talk about prospects who you’re big fans of. I haven’t gone through the entire class by any means, but here are a couple of guys who stand out to me.
I know that Cam Ward is the Hurricane stealing the show this offseason, but Damien Martinez is a good all-around back. He played in very different systems over his college career, primarily running outside zone for Oregon State in an under center system before transferring to Miami to play a primarily inside zone system out of the shotgun. This running back class is talented, which is one reason why he’s pushed down draft boards, but he’s a much better talent than the 116th overall player in the class — which is where he’s ranked on the consensus board.
I haven’t spent too much time on Wyatt Milum, mostly catching him while watching pass-rushers, but he has stood out. Early on in the season, he played very well against projected top-five pick Abdul Carter of Penn State. I don’t know whether NFL teams will play him at tackle or guard, but he held up well against quality competition.
Pass rushers are quarterbacks. If it’s a good pass-rusher class, most of the good ones still go early. Teams will trip over themselves to bring in a talented player at the position. That’s why I’m surprised there isn’t more hype around Bradyn Swinson, an Oregon transfer, who is about a B-grade player across the board. Even without major flaws or a limited upside, as he’s an above-average athlete, he’s still ranked as the 71st player in the class. Personally, I wouldn’t be shocked if he ended up going in the early second round once everything is said and done.
