Chickillo submits paperwork to Draft Advisory Board

He's so slow. I nicknamed him, "The Sloth," last season. Its frustrating to watch him.

As others have said, this is a common sense move for ANY kid who is thinking of coming out early. Its a market-based review of where you might fit into the draft.

You may recall Al Golden ripping drew rosenhaus for talking Tommy Streeter into declaring without doing an advisory review. There is absolutely no reason to declare early without doing this homework step. It could have saved Streeter's career.
 
Actually declaring for the draft, and submitting paperwork to get feedback on where you're projected to go are 2 different things.

L u l z at anyone ripping him. He gets his feedback and he'll know what he needs to work on to prep for the next draft.

He'll start but I just dont see him doing much. He's been kind of a bust in my opinion.
 
The coaches probably told him to do it. Of it comes back high, you'd be foolish not to consider. If it comes back low, it gives the coaches ammo to hammer you on the things they told you to work on. Some of y'all ***** just to *****.
 
Man some people are really just flat out dumb. Chick clearly isn't declaring for the draft, he is just seeing where he stands at this point. If any of us were in his position we would do the same exact thing, guaranteed. He sees where he stands now, and then busts his *** to try to improve that tenfold between now and this time next year.

Also, a little encouraged by Papa Perrymans comments. Denzel staying an extra year would be huge.

Considering he got turned into a heavy *** DE whose real strength is containing the run and people don't run outside on us because we have no interior DL, he has nothing to work with. He was never that fast, so we made him extra heavy so he could be slower. They seriously need to just move him inside at this point. They basically turned him into Allen Bailey, but with no speed.

Geezus people. There's no downside to doing this for any player. It's always beneficial to get an unbiased review.

Enlighten me as to the process. If a player submits paperwork to a Draft Advisory Board, does that not mean he is entertaining the idea of coming out? What review would the player receive that might be beneficial for their decision one way or the other?

The advisory board consists of NFL scouts which allows a player to receive a grade(s) similar to a report card. It helps a player determine if they should enter the draft. Streeter, Fortson, and others got screwed over by agents who did not advice them to submit their paper work to the NFL advisory board. If they would have they would have known they would have been free agents and not drafted.

All players should submit after their junior season. It will allow them to see what actual NFL scouts see in their game. This helps a player make and educated decision on whether to enter the draft early.
 
Chick, or any player for that matter, would do themselves a service by getting out from the grips of this defensive staff.
 
Eh, I dont mind, but lozzles at the idea of him being draft material.

I do agree that this "system" we run pretty much puts every single one of our players at a disadvantage. That is how bad of a system I think we run.

if he bolts despite a meh grading then thqt tells you a lot about the coaching staff in the player's eyes

Maybe some of us are unaware of this aspect of the process there tough guy. Thanks for your expert technical insight regarding the matter. Thanks to everybody here who helped us better understand what submitting paperwork actually entails. I fully support the move after understanding the process.

Chickillo has the talent to start in the NFL. This staff ****ed him up, but he'll do well at the next level.

Mark my words. He'll be a solid pro.

Go on.

They either should've had him stay at around 250 and asked him to be a pass rusher or bulked him up even a bit more than he is now and had him strictly as a run stuffer. They tried to have him be both and it failed.

Anthony Chickillo at 260lbs has no position in this defense, unfortunately. They could play a different defense stylistically, but Anthony Chickillo as a 4-3 defensive end lacks speed and explosion. I actually don't have a major problem with how they are using him.

I don't see the "solid pro" thing. It works well right now to blame mediocrity on the coaches because they certainly aren't helping matters. But, can anyone name a player here as unimpressive as Chickillo who did something at the next level? Because I can name a lot of ends within the last decade who looked more impressive and did nothing/little--McDougle, Williams, Jamaal Green, Bailey, and Baraka Atkins are a fairly easy start.

Does anyone actually know exactly what the Draft Advisory Board does once it gets a player paperwork?

Any first hand experience out there?

This. 'Good' coaches actually tell certain players to submit paperwork to the advisory board just to know where they stand and if professional football is a serious option for them. It can also be used to wake up players who need to realize that NFL GMs won't draft them early just cause rivals/247/etc said they were a first round talent. AG seems like the kid of coach who prepares players for the draft process. Some coaches basically turn their back on a player once he decides he would like to go pro.

Good for chick. He'll know exactly what he needs to work on this offseason. I'm shocked DPs dad wants him to stay. Most of the time, family is in the 'go pro' camp. I'd love to have DP here next year but it would take a lot of talking to convince me its the best move for HIM.

I don't have first hand experience but I know people who've gone through the process. They look at your film and return you a grade based on where they think you'll get drafted. So you submit your paperwork and they might give you a grade like '4th round'. Its not a guarantee but its where they feel you'll likely get drafted.
 
Kid took one for the team by bulking up and playing 3-4 End. He's out of position.

Don't see him getting drafted though. I don't know what position he'll play. He's too heavy and slow for 4-3 DE now, and he's not big enough for a 3-4 DE in the NFL.
