If you guys did not already know I am enrolled in the Scouting Academy and have been learning so much about the business of scouting and evaluating players. Throughout my draft scouting process, I will drop my grades and evaluations below on this thread. Just want to share my work with you guys. The first one I did with the brand new grading scale and format I learned was D.J. Chark. Check it out below:
Player: DJ Chark
College: LSU
Jersey Number: 7 & 82
Height: 6025
Weight: 196
—————————————
Film Watched: (2017) Notre Dame, (2017) Auburn, (2016) Miss. St
—————————————
Athletic Ability: 6/7
Mental Processing: 6/7
Competitive Toughness: 6/7
Play Speed: 6/7
Play Strength: 6/7
Hands 5/7
Separation Quickness 5/7
Release 5/7
Adjustment/Body Control: 6/7
Yards after Catch: 5/7
Grade: 56/70
Draft projection: Rounds 2 - 3
Player comparison: Robby Anderson, New York Jets
Elite level Starter possible future HOF: 70 - 65
Pro Bowl Caliber Starter: 64 - 60
Above average Starter: 59 - 55
Average Starter: 54 - 50
Below average Starter: 49 - 45
Situational Role Player: 44 - 40
Not NFL Level: 39 - 1
Summary:
A one-year starter who was buried behind Malachi Dupre and Travin Dural. Played in 25 games throughout his career in which he accumulated 66 receptions, 1,351 yards receiving and six touchdowns. Has great height for the position but his frame is a little lanky. He is a tad slower off of the line of scrimmage but when he gets going he can really hit another gear. He is quick in and out of his breaks but will tend to round off routes which hurt his ability to separate from defenders. His lack of a route tree limits where he might fit at the next level but he displays good hands, excellent body control and catch adjustment to play on the outside. He shows not only the desire to block but rather finish his assignment. His ability to run after the catch and move in space will allow him to transition to the game quicker depending on how he is used at the next level. He’s already used to making the tough sideline catch and having the awareness and control to get both feet in bounds. He often times had to survive through contact in which he showed he was able to finish the play. Overall, this Is a receiver that has an obvious fit on the outside with his ability to release, fight through contact and his size that will allow him to body up with almost any cornerback at the next level. He is more likely to become a better pro than he was a college player and will fit well as a starter that can stretch the field and go up for the deep ball.
