Good point. What's strange is they were right about DK and the actual NFL scouting dept. Fucked that up.

Re: Mock draft compilation
A. J. Epenesa...fits the defense i guess, one reason why he be there
He is an edge player, but only for an even front scheme. His average reactive athleticism does not project well to “drop” or play in space for a team that implores an odd front. Not very explosive and lacks good athleticism. He has average “twitch” and is stronger than he is explosive. Needs to develop a counter when his initial move hasn’t succeeded. He lacks an array of pass rush moves and needs to do a better job of setting OTs up and rushing with a plan. Has sufficient get off at the LOS and needs to develop a more consistent motor, or get in better game shape.

That's the Mt. Rushmore and there is not even another Hawk QB in South Dakota. Who is fifth? Dilfer?

The draftniks are basing their predictions on the Hawks inability to resign Clowney and it pisses me off.Donn Beach wrote: ↑Sun Feb 02, 2020 1:13 amA. J.

Average twitch and not able to play in a uneven front doesn't sound like a player Hawks would be interested in at all if the scouting is accurate.Donn Beach wrote: ↑Sun Feb 02, 2020 1:13 amA. J.

Re: Mock draft compilation
yeah, that doesn't sound very tempting, that is from an article that basically seems to be pushing the Cards to take him eighth. Guess he didn't play much in college. He does sound like he has some qualities JSPC seem to love, intangibles and raw talent.
https://arizonasports.com/story/2247542 ... j-epenesa/“It’s kinda almost comical because he got so many accolades during the summertime and never started a game here with a guy Parker Hesse … Parker was our right end,” Ferentz said. “A.J. played behind him, learned from him for two years. Obviously, we’re not totally stupid, we had him in there on third- and fourth-passing downs and our sub packages. He was sacking guys left and right.
“This is his first year of playing three downs, in his third year. He really did a great job and he learned as the year went on,” Ferentz said. “He has things you can’t teach. I’m not saying he’s (former Iowa product and long-time NFL player) Adrian Clayborn, but he’s like Adrian. He’s really explosive through his lower body and he can use his hands and keep moving. He’s not mechanical.”
