NFL relevance from the East West Shrine Bowl.

First prospect I want to touch base on is Taj Brooks,
a running back out of Texas Tech. He did receive
some actual reps in the East West Shrine Bulb, but
not enough to draw concrete or actual draft outlook conclusions.
He is an absolute load at five ten, two hundred
and thirty pounds. He spent five seeds with Texas Tech
in school with eight hundred and seventy nine career rushing attempts.
That is experienced to a te a lot of milege
which is a factor, but also capable production to handle
a large workload. He turns twenty three in May. In
twenty twenty four, Tosh Brooks went two eighty six fifteen
oh five seventeen rushing touchdowns for a crisp five point
three yards per rush. Had one hundred and two career
receptions to showcase a versatile skill set per year of thirteen, six,
twenty seven, twenty nine, and twenty eight on tape Tosh Brooks.
He runs tall, patient, decisive, there's power. Reminds me of
a thicker built Clyde Edwards a layer. The rushing styles
are early similar, with a low center of gravity and
good contact balance skills, even though ch has been a
bus compared to his first round Draft Capital years ago.
Based on pure production, Tosh Brooks is one of the
best prospects on paper in the twenty twenty five rookie class. However,
it's a loaded deep position this year, so TOAs Brooks
is on the Day two Day three border line more
likely a Day three pick outside the top one hundred overall,
but someone is certainly keep an eye on. From the
East West Shrine Bowl. Up next is Kyle McCord, a
quarterback out of Syracuse. Did not actually play in the
contest itself, but he was one of the more recognizable
or well known names to be invited to the event.
Speaker 2: He sixty three to two twenty. He spent three seasons
with Ohio State.
Speaker 1: Sort of fizzled out there, transferred to Syracuse for one season.
He turns twenty three. In September, McCord had a huge
twenty twenty four that put him back on the prospect
radar for NFL draft purposes. Four thousand, seven hundred and
seventy nine yards passing, thirty four touchdowns to twelve interceptions,
a sixty six completion percentage rate, eight point one yards
pass attempt, pushing them all downfield, and he won forty
eight point eight passer rating some notable career accolades. He
completed sixty six point two percent of passes, sixty one touchdowns,
twenty picks, eight point six yards pass attempt. He's not
a rushing mobile quarterback. One hundred and eleven rushes for
negative on hundred forty two yards and three touchdowns. What's
odd about the college game and how stats are tracked
compared to the NFL is that sack yardage loss counts.
That's why I McCord at one hundred and eleven rushes,
but negative yardage HRes in the NFL, it doesn't penalize
you for that. That's hopefully something that'll be fixed eventually.
I know a lot of people have spoken about it
in media outlets as a flaw when you're evaluating quarterback
talent as both a passing a rusher. But just the
point I wanted to bring up McCord on tape is accurate.
There's a hitch or angular throwing motion that gives off
some Matthew Stafford vibes good ball placement the last season
with Ohio State and in twenty twenty four, Syracuse is
McCord's best film, and I do think speaking of a
former prospect at the East West shrinebul that became a
great town in the NFL.
Speaker 2: My note about Kyle.
Speaker 1: McCord is is he this year's Brock Purdy. Necessarily mister irrelevant,
the last pick in the draft, but a Day three
pick who is approaching that valuation or even ungrated territory
becomes a backup, finds an opportunity and excels the NFL level.
Cal McCord is probably not going to be on the
one quarterback radar for those kind of leagues, but superflex
he's someone keeping an eye on as a deep sleeper
in quite honestly a underwhelming quarterback class. Efton Chisholm, the
third wide receiver Eastern Washington, perhaps the most recognizable name
based on all the buzz and puff pieces from this week.
He's five to eleven, two hundred pounds. He spent five
seasons with Eastern Washington, Yes same school as Cooper Cup
and is a similar trait wide out with pristine route running.
He's agile, there's shiftiness, suddenness before after the catch, quick
releases off the line of scrimmage. You know what you're
getting with chishm the third after watching a few games.
He turns twenty four in October. Had a sensational off
the charts year of production with Eastern Washington in twenty
twenty four, one hundred and twenty catches, thirteen eleven thirteen touchdowns,
ten point nine yards per catch. How about three hundred
and forty one career receptions. This is a reliable pass
catcher who was on the day two the A three
border line, especially if they're a strong showing at the
East West Shrine Bowl all week and a solid performance
in the game itself. Stylistically, when you watch afting Chisen
the third, you're going to see a blend of Wes
Welker Julian Edelman meets Lab mccacky. Not quite the same
size as mccacky or pedigree certainly not draft capital, but
Wes Welker, Julian Edelman somewhere on that spectrum makes a
lot of sense. A solid possession wide out who would
do well for any NFL franchise that needs wide receiver
depth or a solid chess piece to mix a match
in two.
Speaker 2: Or three receiver personnel time.
Speaker 1: A quick break and I'll be back with four more
prospects that I want to analyze and at least get
on your radar from the East West Shrine. But before
I get to that, if you want to get on
my calendar for a roster call to discuss your team
and path forward strategy eyes this offseason, don't have the
day to reach out thirty bucks, thirty minutes.
Speaker 2: Fifty dollars one hour.
Speaker 1: Those are helped over Google Meet, and it's a great
way for us to really pinpoint your team or ts
and what I would do in your shoes from a
strategy or trade construction perspective. Always fun to meet you
one on one almost Google meets, let alone talk about
your team in detail. Easier to do over at Google
Meet session face to phase as opposed to text back
and forth to schedule one simply email me Dinastypottgmail dot
com or semidm on social media. Again, my accounts are
the same across all platforms. That's Dynasty do Pod quick Break,
be right back the MVP or one of the most
valuable players at the actual event of the East West
Shrine Bowl. Jacori Krosskey Merritt, running back out of Arizona.
Eleven totes ninety seven yards, two touchdowns in the game itself.
Sort of an odd career profile here where he missed
all but one ravages in game in twenty twenty four
for Arizona because of an eligibility issue despite lighting it
up in the first week of the season. Thirteen totes
at bucko six and a touchdown for eight point two
yards per rush. He spent four seasons with Alabama States,
one with New Mexico, and that one game with Arizona.
He has a lot of juice. There's a lot of
burst here. Five to eleven to two oh weight. He
turns twenty four in April, forty three receptions. Even though
he's hard to evaluate because the film at Alabama State
and New Mexico is limited and his stats are hard
to find invisible or erase. Because of this, eligibility issue
on some websites. The limited tape I've been able to
find and what I watched in the East By Shrine Bowl
is exciting. Like todsh Brooks, However, who is I think
superior prospect. It's such a loaded twenty twenty five running
back pool of prospects that Jacory went from being probably
a UDFA or in that territory to now in a
day thremix Atter's outburst and reminding people how dominant he
could have been as a prospect had this eligibility issue
not occurred for him with Arizona thirteen one oh six
one in his first showing in twenty twenty four, the
scot could have been a limit, but unfortunately I've heard
rumors too have been injury related, but most articles pinpoint eligibility,
which is unfortunate because it seems like a well rounded
running back prospect. He's a sleeper to keep an eye
on in the pre draft process.
Speaker 2: Once again.
Speaker 1: Jacory Krosskey Merritt, running back at Arizona, who was one
of the best outfield performers in this year's East West
Shrine Bowl up next, is one of my favorite tight
end prospects this year. It is Oroande Gadsden, the second
tight end out of Syracuse. He was a standout all
week during practices six five two thirty six. Spent four
seasons with Syracuse. He turns twenty two in June. He's
young and coming off a breakout campaign in twenty twenty
four with a seventy three nine thirty four seven receiving
law that's twelve point eight yards per catch. On the career,
he had one hundred and forty three receptions for fourteen
yards per catch for a tight end That is incredible.
Both before and after the East West Shrine Bowl. Roande Gadsden,
the second was deemed to be a top one hundred
pick in that range, so the draft stock makes him
in the third fourth round mix. He is a move
tight end who can line up all of the formation.
He runs routes and functions as more of a as
catcher or wide receiver then traditional tight end, and he
is sure to receive plenty of Isaiah likely in particular
or even Microseci comparisons thanks to the big slot mentality brings.
He's a mismatch. He moves really well both pre motion
pre snap. If you get him the ball in space,
watch out in the right offense under the right usage
and personnel groupings. Ronde Gadsden the second is going to
be a playmaker and problem for defenses at the NFL level.
Speaker 2: He is not as hyped up as.
Speaker 1: Tyler Warren or Colson Lovelin for twenty twenty five to
ten in prospects, yet is going to be a popular
name post draft when we see his draft capital and
even in our Dynasa Roogy drafts, because the tape is
phenomenal and the production alliance makes him a very enticing talent.
Ricky White the third, a wide receiver out of UNLV,
was reportedly one of, if not the best wide receivers
during practice sessions all week six ' one a buck ninety.
He spent one season with Michigan States and three with UNLV.
He turns twenty three in February. Great production in twenty
twenty four nine ten to forty one, eleven touchdowns, thirteen
point two yards per catch, a illustrious college resume, two
hundred and twenty eight pre receptions fourteen point eight yards
per reception. From what I've read, is viewed as a
top one hundred picker on that borderline puts him into
third to fourth rown mix. He also contributes with versatility
as a receiver obviously, and then on special teams. He
had four block punts and a pupper turn for a
touchdown in twenty twenty four for UNLV. Unlike running back
in tight end, where it's very deep at the position,
wide receiver is very top heavy in terms of the
best prospects for twenty twenty five, So don't be surprised
if Rookie White the third makes a name for himself
pre draft and suddenly is seeing his draft stock catapult.
Speaker 2: Over the next few months.
Speaker 1: And last, but not least, it is Jimmy Horn junior
wide out for Colorado five to ten, one to seventy
two seasons with South Florida and two of Colorado.
Speaker 2: He's twenty three to September.
Speaker 1: Not the best production apples to apples comparing him to
other wideouts. On this prospect episode, he went thirty seven
four to forty one and a touchdown for eleven point
nine yards per catch.
Speaker 2: But don't let that fool you. Jimmy Horn Junior is legit.
Speaker 1: He had one hundred and sixty two for reception twelve
point one yards per grab. Has a chance to become
a much better pro than college wide receiver after being
an ancillary piece, playing second, if not third fiddle to
Travis Hunter at Colorado.
Speaker 2: Receiving targets from Shadur Sanders.
Speaker 1: The name to Jimmy Horn Junior's game is speed and
big playdown field.
Speaker 2: Those are his top attributes.
Speaker 1: He is on the mid to late day three radar,
hopefully gets drafted. Does not seem like a lock at
this point because of the lack of production.
Speaker 2: He could be. My note with him is the next.
Speaker 1: Rashid Shaheed who Shaheed himself, former UDFA six feet one
eighty has that game changing speed and vertical field stretching talent.
Jimmy Horn five ten one seventy compared to Shaheed six
feet one eighty very close comp and stylistically are in line.
Speaker 2: On par with one another.
