I did the same as mostly everyone else .I youtubed him and watched his vs tapes . What grade did you have on him? Is he a world beater that somehow didn't go in the first 3 rounds?
 
Neither network seems interested in covering the actual F'ing draft...

Seriously, wtf

Correct. But 4.38 speed, an elite motor, great instincts, outstanding intangibles, and underrated physicality do.

If that's the case then he

When I looked at film, as I said before, I had the wrong guy and I couldn't understand the hype. Then I realized that the guy who was jumping out to me was Shaq Griffin.

I didn't realize the player had only one hand.

All I saw on the film was the playmaking. That's it. It wasn't until I saw him make an INT that I realized the player I was looking at wasn't Griffin.

I dunno about anyone else, but I evaluated Griffin solely based on his play and my first take on him was pure in that I didn't even know it was him.

I realize people love a good story and he sure has one. But I liked him as a player on film before I knew it was him. He's a player and next year he's gonna make some amazing special teams plays. I just hope they aren't against us...

I like his game no doubt .I just won't be upset that we skipped on a guy who was projected in the fourth, at best
 
Is there a cap reduction trading TA?

Copied directly from my PRE-COMBINE Mock Draft:
Round 4 Pick #1 - Shaquem Griffin ILB/OLB UCF
Analysis: Many people have Griffin rated as a Day 3 pick, and some even have him rated as a 7th round pick or UDFA. Personally, I think this is similar to the disrespect Aaron Donald was given throughout his senior season before he blew up at the Senior Bowl. Donald's size scared teams. Griffin's missing hand also likely scares teams. However, after the Senior Bowl and Combine, it was clear that Donald's size issues were overblown. I expect the same to be true with Griffin after the Combine. He already had a great Senior Bowl week and won Practice Player of the Week. I expect him to dominate at the Combine by posting great jump and agility numbers and running a 40 in the 4.45 to 4.55 range. Griffin checks in at 6'0" 222 with surprising power and elite burst/speed. Griffin closes like few can at the LB position. He's been a highly-effective pass rusher because of his ability diverse set of rush moves and evolved pass rush plan along with his elite speed and quickness off the edge. He doesn't have the size to hold up as an edge, but he should be an effective blitzer. Griffin has had plenty of snaps in coverage and shows the athleticism to handle M2M coverage responsibilities in the NFL. In the running game, he's a sideline-to-sideline LB who will sift through traffic to make TFLs. He can also close from the backside due to his incredible speed. Despite his small stature, Griffin has shown the ability to work off of and through blockers. Griffin's missing hand can limit him at times. It can make it harder for him to disengage from blocks and can cause him to miss tackles. However, Griffin's unique blend of elite speed for his position along with top-notch instincts means that the tackles he generally misses due to his hand are tackles that few other LBs would have been in a position to make. Griffin is a film room junkie who went as far as to put his mattress in there during camp. It shows in his play through his tremendous instincts, tendency to be in the right place at the right time, and his evolved pass rush plan. Simply put, if Griffin had two hands, I think he'd be considered one of the top players in the Draft. His game reminds me of Lavonte David and Deion Jones.

Been saying tavon was likely trade bait but I didn't expect a 6th and frankly with 5 picks in the 6th and tavons salary incentive based I don't see why the rams did this. Tavon would have been much more a factor on the field than a 6th 6th round pick. This trade is a mistake.
