Marquez Valdes-Scantling | Receiver | South Florida | 6'4" - 206 lbs.

Overview
Height, weight, speed prospect with intriguing deep ball capabilities as a big field stretcher. Valdes-Scantling is a work in progress who hasn't learned how to create leverage within his linear routes and doesn't have the ball skills he will need to win downfield. He's probably not ready to help a team just yet, but his issues may be correctable so he's worth a Day 3 selection as a stash-and-coach prospect.

Strengths
[list]

Possesses size and speed traits evaluators look to develop

Pushes off the line of scrimmage with good forward lean to build momentum into downfield routes

Long strider with build-up speed that eventually overtakes most cornerbacks

Saw 26.4 percent of his catches go for 25-plus yards

Poor deep ball placement from his quarterback prevented more easy touchdowns[/list]

Weaknesses
[list]

Routes lack sharpness and consistent play speed

Gives away stop routes prematurely

Slow to gather and redirect in space

Anchors on hitches and curls rather than working back to the throw

Too much body catching

Hands are small for his size and he suffers from focus drops

Gets deep but his ball skills down the field are lacking

Fails to utilize size to gain position[/list]

40 Yard Dash 4.37

We’ll probably have to stash him, but he’s a great prospect. Love this pick.

Reminds me way more of Donald Driver than Jeff Janis.

ST gunner at best. Maybe he will stick on the PS. Too many drops to be taken seriously.

I can't even remember them any more. One of them was West. There is always going to be another WR next year who will take his place.

beast (8h) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?

beast (8h) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach

Zero2Cool (18h) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one

Zero2Cool (18h) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.

dfosterf (20h) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season

Zero2Cool (21h) : Aaron Glenn Planning To Take Jets HC Job

dfosterf (22h) : Martha- C'est mon boulot! 😁

Zero2Cool (22h) : Thank you

wpr (22h) : Z, glad you are feeling better.

wpr (22h) : My son and D-I-L work for UM. It's a way to pick on them.

Zero2Cool (22h) : Thank you. I rarely get sick, and even more rarely sick to the point I can't work.

wpr (22h) : Beast- back to yesterday, I CAN say OSU your have been Michigan IF the odds of making the playoffs were more urgent.

dfosterf (22h) : Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better.

Zero2Cool (23h) : I've been near death ill last several days, finally feel less dead and site issues.

Zero2Cool (23h) : It is a big deal. This host is having issues. It's frustrating.

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : just kidding...it was down

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : you were blocked yesterday, due to a a recalcitrant demeanor yesterday in the penalty box for a recalcitrant demeanor

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Was that site shutdown on your end or mine? No big deal, just curious

beast (21-Jan) : That way teams like Indiana and SMU don't make the conference championships by simply avoiding all the other good teams in their own confere

beast (21-Jan) : Also, with these "Super Conferences" instead of a single conference champion, have 4 teams make a Conference playoffs.

beast (21-Jan) : Also in college football, is a bye week a good or bad thing?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : The tournament format was fine. Seeding could use some work.

beast (21-Jan) : You can't assume Ohio State would of won the Michigan game...

beast (21-Jan) : Rankings were 1) Oregon 2) Georgia 3) Texas 4) Penn State 5) Notre Dame 6) Ohio State, none of the rest mattered

wpr (21-Jan) : Texas, ND and OSU would have been fighting for the final 2 slots.

wpr (21-Jan) : Oregon and Georgia were locks. Without the luxury of extra playoff berths, Ohios St would have been more focused on Michigan game.

wpr (21-Jan) : Zero, no. If there were only 4 teams Ohio State would have been one of them. Boise St and ASU would not have been selected.

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : So that was 7 vs 8, that means in BCS they never would made it?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : A great game. Give ND credit for coming back, although I am please with the outcome.

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : FG to make it academic

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : and there's the dagger

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : ooooo 8 point game with 4 minutes to go!

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : ooooooooohhhhhh he missed!

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Ooooo that completion makes things VERY interesting

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Game not over yet

beast (21-Jan) : Oh yeah, Georgia starting quarterback season ending elbow injury

beast (21-Jan) : Sadly something happened to Georgia... they should be playing in this game against Ohio State

beast (21-Jan) : I thought Ohio State and Texas were both better than Notre Dame & Penn State

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame getting rolled

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : Ohio State just got punched in the gut. Lets see how they respond

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame vs the Luckeyes, bleh

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Oh snap!!!

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : Even Stevie Wonder can see that.

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : Nah, you see Lions OC leaving to be HC of Bears is directly related to Packers.

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : ohhhhhhh Zero is in TROUBLE

packerfanoutwest (21-Jan) : Zero, per your orders, check Bearshome, not packershome

Zero2Cool (20-Jan) : Then he'll land with another team and flourish.

Zero2Cool (20-Jan) : Ben going to Bears. He'll be out in 3 years.

Mucky Tundra (20-Jan) : what's so funny?

Zero2Cool (20-Jan) : BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
