So does Ben not get drafted?


Apr 29, 2017, 1:34 AM

If not, why?
That guy was the heart of our D last year, and was a 4* coming out of high school.. seems like he fits the bill for someone to take a chance on.

As much as I hate to say it, BB10 had trouble in coverage and that is likely hurting him now. I expect him to go 4th-6th round

He said himself that he would be a day 3 guy so i expect sometime tomorrow we'll see him along with 2-3 other Clemson players drafted

I think Ben or Jadar go in the 7th round. Watkins in the 4th round. Wayne in the 6th.

6 Clemson Tigers get taken. Outside chance of 7.

Leggett also probably in the 4th***

Being a 4 star doesn't mean anything right now. Even Ben will tell you that.

Yes, Ben does not get drafted. I mean, no, Ben does not

get drafted.

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-10yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


I think so, meaning I think he gets drafted... perhaps late,


Apr 29, 2017, 2:20 AM

but drafted.

At worst free agent signing. He will make a great special teams contributor initially.

Some of the names I've seen go in the 3rd round, he absolutely DOES get drafted. All these GREAT Bama defenders getting drafted, guess what......Clemson beat the crap out of them to the tune of 1000+ yards and 75 points. It's amazing the "Alabama effect" it has on the NFL. Yet, Gallman, Leggett and Scott still sit while the $EC continues to dominate the picks. It is what it is. Whoever gets those 3 are going to get steals. Boulware is not your best cover LB but you can bet he will be a solid contributor for some team. Jadar Johnson as well. And you tell me that Carlos Watkins is still sitting there, with 82 total tackles, 13.5 TFL and 10.5 sacks with outstanding games against the best competition out there and guys like Wormsley and Adams from Auburn gets picked ahead of him, and some guy out of "Charlotte". I guess I'm just not the "talent scout" some of these guys are in the NFL but I'm not blind either. Watkins will be a solid player whoever picks him.

Does not get drafted


Apr 29, 2017, 8:05 AM

Gets at least a half dozen calls from teams after draft.

As others have said, it's coverage and probably.height holding him back. He is built a little different than Stephone Anthony.

2024 white level memberbadge-donor-10yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


He's probably going to get drafted really late.


Apr 29, 2017, 8:45 AM

His lack of quickness and coverage skills are going to hurt him at the next level. He's also a bit short for a LB. Overall size isn't an issue, the dude is plenty big and strong, but he was only in like the 9th percentile for LB height, and he also has kind of short/alligator arms. He doesn't have a lot of reach.

On the plus side, he's strong, smart, instinctual, tough, and not afraid of hitting anyone. At the very least i think he could be a good special teams player.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

He's on the small side to be a NFL linebacker and.......


Apr 29, 2017, 10:12 AM

he's not fast enough to play cornerback and cover receivers.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Slow 40 time and a liability in coverage


Apr 29, 2017, 10:22 AM

With that said, a guy like Vontaze Burfict was looked at the same way and he turned out to be a great linebacker.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Agree!***

He's white, a pound lighter than Foster, and doesn't have enough off-field issues or failed drug tests?
