Budda Baker - An In-Depth Scouting Report

Image
READ : I know some of you have issues watching the highlights so I compiled them and posted them on YouTube :  https://youtu.be/SK3zlCMNcwA Hey guys I'm back and today I present to you my first in depth(ish) scout report on Budda Baker, I have (wayyy) more videos and some more pictures. I'll try to tell you guys what formations fit him and once again I'd like to thank @BendixenNFL for helping me organise my thoughs and ideas! Budda Baker is 5ft10 192lb meaning he's small and not as strong as most safeties in this draft, for example Malik Hooker is 6ft2 205lb making him more of a target to some teams than Baker, it's rumored that Hooker will go in the 1st round (probably top 15-25) while Baker is seen more as a second option, obviously they're both great athletes but how do they fare on the field?

Jabril Peppers - My first scouting report

Before I get this started I want to thank Magnus Bendixen (@BendixenNFL) if it wasn't for you bro I wouldn't be writing this :) Alright let's get on with it!  First as an overall view I want to give you guys Jabril's weaknesses and Strengths. Strengths : He's good in the return game ; Has an explosive closing speed (surprised he didn't get more sacks) ; He adjusts well to changes on plays ; Very good tackling (incredibly important) ; Nice feet to run away from players trying to block him (once they hold him he's done though) ; Can play anywhere.

Hello guys, before I give y'all my opinion on this topic I wanted to share with you guys that I have one and a half season of experience of the NFL so any feedback and opinion would be greatly appreciated! Alright, let's get to it. Jimmy Graham got injured on week 12 of last season, he sustained a ruptured patellar tendon injury that was dubbed as "sneaky career ending injury", there were several reports that Graham would probably never be the same and that his future was uncertain.  Looking at his stats this season Graham averaged 14.2 yards per catch, had 6 touchdown catches and had 65 receptions to accumulate a total of 923 yards. Not bad for a player coming back from a very dangerous injury right? You know what makes this even more impressive? Jimmy came out last week saying he "barely practiced during the week" focusing only on  " being ready for the games .". Now let's have a look at Jordy's great season and compa
