I was very surprised that Castille, Hall and Gilberry were not drafted. Any thoughts to why they were not?
I figured Castille to go during the middle rounds and Hall and Gilberry to go in the later rounds. Think that off the field issues had anything to do with them not being drafted?
The Naked Truth is that they are not very good and it will take a lot of luck and effort on their part to make it. Hope they prove me wrong. It’s the “Shula Hangover”.
HALL TO THE GIANTS!!! WOO HOO!!!
Good question…
One thing to remember is the draft is like a game. You try to select players based on where they’ll likely go in the draft. You don’t want to take a player others aren’t interested in if you can pick them up via the free agency route.
All three of those players have potential, but they also have issues. Speed is a big problem for Castille and Hall, according to the NFL specs.
I’d point you to a post we put up during the NFL Combine. Here you can read the blunt talk from pro scouts about Hall, Castille and Gilberry. When you read that, you can see why they sank in the draft: https://capstonereport.com/?p=456
Castille and Hall don’t have NFL speed, and Gilberry is too small. The Combine is hugely important to a draft prospect. Very few can survive a poor showing at the Combine.
I personally think Dorsey will be a bust. His durability problems have nothing to do with the “chop block” dust-up. He was hurt before that, and he was not further injured on that play. He was a good college player, but I predict he will have a short and less than illustrious NFL career.
As for Belichick — he wasn’t a “genius” in Cleveland. And he’s about to get hit with a load of bricks on the “Spygate” investigation. Belichick’s days in the NFL are numbered if that renewed investigation digs up any further evidence of cheating.
The Chiefs had a good draft day, but they have one of the worst coaching staffs in the NFL. Herm Edwards just plain sucks as an NFL coach. For the life of me, I can’t understand why KC chose him as their head coach.
