Liberty Bowl: East Carolina vs Kentucky

Kentucky:

Trevard Lindley, CB– I’m glad Lindley chose to go back for his Senior season. He’s a bit slim and needs to put some good weight on and get stronger in the off-season. He is a very good coverage corner, but he is absolutely averse to stopping the run. It looks like he almost does what he can to avoid contact in the running game, and when he makes an attempt at a tackle, it’s laughable. I’m going to watch him closely next year because of his coverage ability alone. I wouldn’t risk a first round pick on him because of the run game issue, but I’m sure someone will live with his inability to stop the run and draft him there next year.

Jeremy Jarmon, DE- Jarmon has some first day potential for next year. He has good size and can impact the run and pass games. He’s not a refined, complete prospect yet, but he has the tools to work with next season.

Braxton Kelly, LB- Kelly is no more than a late round pick who looks to be a very solid special teams player.

Myron Pryor, DT- I didn’t see anything special in Pryor, and I wouldn’t draft him.

East Carolina:

CJ Wilson, DE- I’m not too sure about Wilson. His technique is very inconsistent, but if some team grabs him late and works with him, he could fit into a rotation at DE. He’s a true 4-3 DE, which are harder to find these days with many teams leaning on quicker and smaller players on the edge.

Davon Drew, TE- Drew doesn’t play much inline TE, but he has the size and ability to do so. He’s a very good offensive weapon though, and he adds to the list of talented TEs that can be had in the later rounds of the draft. He gets off the jam well, he’s faster than most LBs, and he’s bigger than most safeties. I’d risk a pick as high as the fourth on Drew, but I’m guessing he’ll be had for even lower come draft day. He has the chance to be a very good value pick for some team.
