Hey Ainsley,

 

Obviously, we only get to see his highlights and none of his lowlights. Based on his best efforts (on this film):

 

--Really good adjustment to the ball in the air. I liked how he timed his ability to cut in front of the defender, make his leap, or get separation at the last moment on deep routes.

 

--Speed, speed, speed, but also ran routes well enough to maximize his separation deep with the help of the sideline. He looks pretty sudden out of his breaks and cuts, but how much is that the gap between his athletic skill and the competition.

 

--Not a whole of players on this tape playing tight coverage on him. I wonder how he'll respond to press/bump and run techniques. The Nebraska CB was up fairly tight, but he bit on a fake and was left in the dust. I'd like to see how he responds to physical contact at the LOS. It looks like his game is more based on moves but he'll need to overcome the jam.

 

--Can he block?

 

--Nice hands and body adjustment to shield himself from the ball. I'd like to see more routes across the middle in the intermediate zone of the passing defense. More than just drag routes.

 

--I really like his vision in the open field as a runner.

 

He has some really good workout numbers at his pro day. If he truly plays to those measurements (it looks a lot like it), he looks like a solid 2nd day prospect at worst.

Mr. Irrelevent :first:

 

I was at the draft and everyone started booing because they wanted Vick to be the last pick :wacko: . I think I was the only person in the building who was thrilled with the pick. I'm glad to see him get the opportunity. :mad:
