2015 NFL Scouting Combine listing along with scouting reports
- Thread starter Trip
- Start date
Dude reminds me of a big version of Farve. Not saying he will be him but that is who he reminded me of in college.
I read this shyt did they really compare him lack of mobility to Byron left which. These idiots out their damn mind.
Based on what thought? I'm curious how you see that he's more Peyton than Eli.
But with Eli's clutch gene
His cerebral approach outweighs his physical athleticism, similar in stature, similar arm strength coming outta college, anticipation being the best part of their game, and he's a self aware guy that welcomes attention and doesn't shy away from it.
STRENGTHS
Considered by scouting community to be advanced in ability to scan field and get through progressions. Has natural feel for throwing windows and anticipates openings that other college quarterbacks don't see. Has height to see over offensive line and thickness of build to withstand NFL hits. Big arm by NFL standards. Gets full extension and follow through into throws with ability to drive ball into the seam in front of safeties. Can make all of the field-side throws teams need. Most teammates very trusting and protective of him, according to regional scouts. Aware in pocket, but not overly jittery. Good feel for edge pressure and steps up into pocket while continuing his scan. When pressure mounts, so does his focus. Shows faith in his wide receivers and willing to go right back to them after a drop. Strong lower body and able to shake free of some would-be sacks and get rid of the ball. Fierce competitor and unafraid of mistakes. Shows above-average football character. Will make throws and take chances others won't, which can be a special trait if properly harnessed.
Decision making not consistent with his football intelligence. Will throw into impossible windows rather than taking safe throw underneath. Was too easily baited into dangerous throws. Struggled with intermediate passing game. Would sleepwalk through first half of many games. Inconsistent footwork and weight transfer caused balls to sail. Quality of decision-making drops off substantially when pocket becomes turbulent and he's forced to leave it. Lacks athleticism to extend plays for very long outside of the pocket.
That's my quarterback

Jameis, my QB.
Someone is gonna get a fukkin steal here.
IFO EKPRE-OLOMU
CB
OREGON
GRADE
5.6
5'10" - 195LBS.
STRENGTHS Very fluid mover. He can transition like his hips are on a swivel and he has the foot quickness in tight spaces to match. Instinctive and alert. Will transition from man or zone coverage and become a willing tackler against crossing routes that enter his side of the field. Not a robotic defender -- adjusts on the fly as plays unfold. Uses the boundary effectively. Doesn't shy away from tackling. Competitive and won't prematurely open up out of fear. Tracks the ball effectively and has plus ball skills. Mentally tough and twitchy. Playmaking tendencies. Aggressive for size in press coverage. Has experience outside and in the slot. Projected as an NFL gunner on special teams.
WEAKNESSES Suffered a severe knee injury after the regular season in preparation for the College Football Playoff semifinal vs. Florida State. Unorthodox defender who rarely relies on technique. Gets in trouble trying to bait throws. Spends too much time trying to read quarterback and jump routes. Scouting community down on short cornerbacks. Prefers to play trail technique but lacks length speed to recover when challenged over the top against bigger targets. Missed more tackles in 2014 than in any other season. Can get wild and lose technique as a tackler. Tape from 2014 has scouts questioning his long speed.
SOURCES TELL US "He's tough and has ball skills. He's just being asked to go play right now but he'll get the right technique work in our league and watch how good he becomes then. He's going to be great." -- AFC South area scout

BOTTOM LINE Ekpre-Olomu's height and knee issue are likely to take him off the board as a first-round prospect for many defenses. However, what he lacks in measurables, he makes up for with production, natural ability and confidence. He might lack the size teams want from an outside cornerback, but he's more than capable of playing in the slot and playing press, off or zone effectively. Unfortunately for Ekpre-Olomu, the knee injury could hurt his draft stock.

I'm thinking seattle at 63 or maybe even 31 if he beasts at the combine. He is going to be great.. @Brady-Carter your opinion?

Only concern with Ifo is his hight(And knee obviously). But still, the guy is unbelievable. I agree Ifo in the 3rd round will be a absolute steal. The guy is the closes thing I have seen to Revis in CFB(The way he plays). Even this year playing on one foot he was good.
And what is really underrated about Ifo is his tackling and run support. Their was one play against MSU this year in the 4th Q on a big 4and 2 or third in 2. Where dude burst off the line and was first contact on MSU's RB that made it possible for the front to stop langford short.
Whoever takes him will have to be willing to basically redshirt him this year tho. B/c of the knee injury. I would be cool with the Pats taking him at the end of the second round, that is for sure.
