Pierce is getting the most favorable treatment any White WR has since Kupp. I think it’s all a matter of where he ends up and if the coach decides to actually use him. Isabella has been screwed over royally by Cucksbury. Ideally he is flipped for a late round pick and goes to a team that will put him on the field. Isabella’s issues have not been from a lack of talent as he produces when on the field but due to the fact any black WR on the Cardinals roster jumps over him based on skin color.

Again like in Basketball I find it quite ironic that the majority of our fastest receivers(potential stars) seem to get ignorred and black balled. I don't know how else to say it but
the NFL doesn't mind slow or average speed white players. The Isabella types break the norm too much. The few that do get to play are usually pigeon holed at punt returner, kickoff returner or special teams. They do not want the public to see fast white guys doing the same things black guys do. It goes against the anti white propaganda.

It looks like Chad Muma and Leo Chenal both have a good chance to be picked by the end of the second round. They're both too athletic to go along with their productivity for teams to just figure they'll last until day three and take them then; unlike say Josey Jewell, no one can point to a weakness like a slowish 40 time as an excuse to downgrade them very far. Troy Andersen seems to be a wildcard; he could go anywhere from late first to the fourth round.

I'll await Leonardfan's final appraisal but I'll predict there's a slight uptick in overachievers taken this year as there's value at TE, along the o-line and d-line, and of course at QB. Other than Pierce who knows if any other WRs or DBs will be taken.

I believe some of us here at this site came to the same conclusion a few months ago:

CBS Sports' Chris Trapasso called Miami (OH) S Sterling Weatherford a discount version of Notre Dame S Kyle Hamilton.
Weatherford (6'4/221) is a relatively unknown player with a lot of skill. He went down to Mobile and showed up in a big way, thriving in both defensive back and linebacker drills. That's where Trapasso draws the comparison, as they are similar. He notes the size, speed, twitch, and football IQ are incredibly similar, hence the discount version. Hamilton is likely to go off the board in the top-10 whereas you can get Weatherford in the fifth or sixth round.


Also just more proof of the caste system chipping away at the QB position. Hopefully this is only for UDFA purposes. And I have just about zero respect for the coaches from the Dakota schools importing black quarterbacks.

According to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, South Dakota State QB Chris Oladokun has had multiple top-30 visits.
South Dakota State has become a must-watch program the last few years in regards to draft prospects. They have a couple in this year's class including Oladoku (6'2/195). After the top-seven quarterbacks, there are a lot of contenders to be the next one off the board. Pelissero also reported that Oladokun has had workouts with three teams and virtual visits with three others including the Houston Texans. Teams want a closer look at the former South Florida quarterback.

As I read through most of the media rumors about QBs they all center around Willis and Ridder. It's obvious to anyone with an open mind what is going on at the QB position and how it is being engineered by the media.


Another rumor I am seeing is that the Eagles supposedly like Matt Corral. I wouldn't mind to see him displace the passing challenged Jalen Hurts.

I hope so. @Red Raider and his rankings were pretty spot on if there was honest objective assessment of players that occurred rather than the anti-White bias that runs rampant. I'll try to get my rankings up this week and/or the analysis of some 7 round mock drafts and 300 player big boards to once again prove our theory true about White player projection for the past 20 years.

Leo Chenal would be a tremendous player in a 3-4. The MSM is not pointing out what a great fit he'd be in that system.

In a non-racist world he'd be highly touted the way the overrated Nakobe Dean is. The MSM is always hyping overrated black linebackers.

Dean was an inside linebacker who had 72 total tackles this year. Some MSM sources are citing this as great production. It's not bad for college but is not high end. Chenal, for example, had 115 tackles. It's typical of the way the MSM pumps up black players.

I used to think Charles Davis was more of the unbias type of commentator but he compares Borghi to Zach Zenner, Ryan Nall and Zander Horvath. Borghi is nothing like any of them, he's an all purpose back with the ability to make plays in space (and a huge weapon in the passing game). Zenner was a traditional RB, Nall and Horvath are more power backs. Borghi is much closer to CMC than any of the backs mentioned above.

Excellent work Red Raider!! Thanks for saving me the typing! It's like peanut butter & jelly when we do the Pre-season "Position Previews". I might have Kyle Philips in the 4th round ; but does he get a drop to Round 5 -6 due to his pale skin condition? Would hope not! ...
In a fair world 5 White DB's get selected!
Well said Leonardfan ...thanks for your list too....

Agreed! WOW! Disappointed in Charles ...he's slipping up big time! We have been comparing Max Borghi to CMC ""lite"" since he came out of HS in the Denver area ....
He had been on some Top 10 RB Pre -season list ....the Covid season screwed things up + nagging injury for Combine & this past season was in a NEW offense ; he fell down the rankings. At the very least Borghi can be a Rotation RB as a versatile 3rd Down back much like James White was used for the Patriots. A 5'-10" 205lb 4.5 type

.....of course Nall and Horvath are comparable....give those guys a chance to be a "Bell Cow" RB getting 20-25 carries and they are capable of 100+ yard games rushing

...ZZ Zach Zenner is in his own special category ...i talked to black dudes that couldn't believe he never was Drafted despite THREE consecutive 2,000 yard seasons & 61 TD's! Should have been mid-Round pick at the very least. ...Bet Pierre Strong (South Dakota St) gets Drafted

Chris Simms has Alec Pierce as the number 3 wide receiver in the draft. His analysis starts at 18:40 in this clip.

In addition to his other qualities, Borghi really has a nose for the end zone. On some of those runs and catches I thought for sure he would go down, but he wouldn't be denied. It'll be a real shame if he doesn't get an opportunity to be at least a third down back in the NFL.

Another potential UDFA WR to watch is Henry Litwin from DII Slippery Rock. Litwin was a 2019 1st Team All-American and 2021 2nd Team All-American. Career totals: 221-3392-42 receiving which are all school records.

I always liked Charles commentary as well but that has to be the most lazy evaluation of a prospect I have ever heard. No analysis of his skills just lump him in with the rest of the white guys. I think Rich Eisen has rubbed of on Charles the last couple years working directly with one another during the draft.

San Diego State DE Cameron Thomas is an underrated prospect. He has an RAS of 8.68 with an excellent 6.91 3 cone. The 3 cone is a good predictor of NFL success for DEs. Thomas led the nation with 77 pressures.

He's projected as a mid to low second round pick. I'd take him in the first.

Oregon DE Kayvon Thibodeaux has been making all sort of comments that give a bad impression of him. Here's one: "I’d tell the coach there’s nothing he can tell me that I don’t already know." This comment alone would make me take him off my board.

The white liberals are, of course, defending him. They must get a rush of some sort by defending what they regard as "the poor, downtrodden black male." White liberals have a black male fetish.

This is the kind of guy who has "locker room cancer" written all over his face like Vince Young's Wonderlic score.

Imagine if a White player had said something like this. Cue the comments of "arrogant, cocky, toxic, doesn't deserve to play," etc. from the DWFs.

Been following the thread then finally got my draft mags. Athlon is kind of cheapo. Lindy's is better, more detail and more pages. Only a buck more. I like Lindy's grading of past drafts.

Just checked a scouting report (on the internet) of George Karlaftis. One of his strengths is he "Plays through a physical filter." I'm stumped as to what that might possibly mean.

Pretty sure scouts just make things up to differentiate themselves from the countless other draft “gurus” put out there.

When listing strengths of White players, draft "gurus" love coming up with new ways to avoid saying things like they have "tremendous athleticism" or "natural talent."

Yes they make up non-sensical words and phrases. We have kept an eye on this trend over the past few years as well. “Muscle Shark” is the one that always sticks out in my mind.
