Where's the love for Sukay?

“Life moves pretty fast…if you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.”
Or, perhaps more to the point, Miss Snyder, my fifth grade teacher said of my work on a math quiz, “You need to read THE WHOLE question before answering, Robert!” (Somehow she was able to convey the perfect amount of disdain for my overall intelligence in that one sentence, indicating that she believed my future contained work involving more physical demands than mental.)

Crawford will impress at the combine, and I think at least one team will see enough in his film to take a flier. I have read some scouts not being very impressed, but it only takes one team to pick a guy. He could be 2nd from PSU or he could be undrafted.

But I’m saying 2nd off the board will be Troutman. I’ve heard good things about him, and he’s always had the physical gifts.

I think Lynn is the 3rd PSU guy to be drafted, mostly because I’ve read NFL Draft ranking websites that have him in the top 40 DBs. He was mostly good, and when a DB goes a while without you noticing him, that usually means he’s a good player. He also looks the part.

Moye is good and I think he could benefit from beefing up a little and putting on a good show at the combine with his size and athleticism. Although if scouts think he can’t get off press coverage, he might be undrafted and have to earn his way up through a scout team spot.

Chaz has the size and speed combo NFL scouts look for…depends if they think he can play up on WR in the pros or not, but I don’t see why a team wouldn’t take a shot on a guy with his ability who has only had 2 years to get down the technique and positioning on D. I haven’t seen him very high on any rankings, but most of the guys who make the rankings don’t know what they’re talking about and regurgitate one experts rankings from the preseason with ups and downs for a handful of players. We’ll see.

Stupar’s got a chance as well. A lot of teams are running a 3-4 in the NFL now, and that might suit his skill set as a OLB. The combine will be huge for him. If he’s slow, he won’t get taken. But with 3-4s being popular and backup LBs commonly being special teams guys, he could latch on.

I think 1 out of Moye, Chaz and Stupar will be drafted, and the other two will be invited to camps and maybe catch on. Crawford could go in the 5th, or he could come in as a UDFA, I have no idea. But I’d bet on Still, Troutman and Lynn having their name called by Goodell at some point.
