Eagles Talk / Re: Smael Mondon Jr, Philadelp...

3-year starter in Kirby Smart's 3-4 scheme as a versatile off-ball piece with the flexibility to walk out in coverage or become a part of the pressure package up front. Long, rangy player with solid overall athleticism and play strength. He can match up in man against most combo body types and be effective. There's some blitzing value as well, but I feel that he may be a bit tapped on defensively on that end. Not sure that I see a player that can handle the mental load against the run on an every-down basis. I worry about his lack of physicality in tight quarters as well. He might just be a STer and specialty sub piece, but there are enough tools there to be more.

4-year starter at two different programs. Smaller, scrappy corner with a compact frame who is built more for the slot, but I think he does have the mindset and athleticism to handle perimeter duties in the right system. Very confident corner who plays with an edge; I love the way he attacks downhill. He's able to hip pocket and read routes at the intermediate area. There are some rough reps in the slot, where he can get in trouble letting WRs with a 2-way go get on top of him. His ballskills are a big question mark. His size is a limitation in the run game. There's a lot to like about the player, and I wouldn't rule out him finding starting work, but I think it's more likely he's a flexible backup in the league.

4-year starter in the Big 10 with NFL size to be a gap-eating interior player. More of a line of scrimmage dweller than upfield penetrator, he's ideally not on the field on pass downs due to athletic limitations, but he has the anchor strength and heavy hands to be a reliable run defender early. For teams that utilize multiple fronts he brings added value because of that position versatility. Late bloomer who took off in his sixth and final season. Don't see a consistently impactful player, but a key cog in a rotation up front as a depth piece.

Last post by ice grillin you - April 28, 2025, 06:59:49 AMAndrew Mukuba – S – Texas
4-year college starter at two blue-blood programs (first at Clemson, then at Texas). Physical safety who brings an edge to the position. Runs the alley with bad intentions and can finish 1-on-1. Not a high-level athlete but certainly is an adequate one and showed little panic when pressed downfield in isolated situations against WRs. On the skinny side, and his play strength may come into question, but I think he plays bigger and faster than how he will time and measure. Smart zone coverage safety who can find his way to the ball and he could develop into a solid starter down the road, partcularly for a split safety zone defense. Unlikely to be a consistently impacfful player in the box score.

Jihaad Campbell – LB – Alabama
2-year starter for the Tide in two different schemes. Flexible MIKE/SAM 'backer who can play on the ball or from a stacked position. Not a top-end athlete but wins with toughness, instincts and length. Around the ball a lot with great flashes in the run game, as a rusher and as a coverage piece up the chute. Rarely misses tackles and has great moments defeating blocks. Would fit in a number of schemes because of his position flexibility, but would certainly fit best in the core of the formation in more of a zone-heavy scheme. Don't see a true impact player, but a really reliable starter and every-down player.

Last post by Don Ho - April 27, 2025, 11:06:36 PM"Little People" arms! Got to be careful, can't piss off what ever after life/cosmic field, law of nature is out there, I need to make sure I am coming back as a dog, a zesty backup QB where I get 3 or 4 series a season for 10 years, or zesty ass relief pitcher (like 75% are these days) and circulae around MLB and make bank.
Watched some video, the "shortened" arms didn't seem to bad. 6th round, no harm no foul.

Last post by Munson - April 27, 2025, 10:17:51 PMYeah I never played the game because I never had PS3 or 4, was not expecting that shtein last week. I assumed he would die at some point in the series but figured it'd be near the end.
Was surprised they got as far as they did tonight too. Figured the trip would be a week or two of episodes
