Deon Bush had a better overall career than Artie Burns... I don't get why some cane fans act like hes irrelevant. One of the best all around safeties in this draft.
I don't know about "best all around safeties in this draft" maybe your "all around" qualifier makes that statement true but he won't be drafted until the 4th round at the earliest. And while I'm from San Diego and write about them and I think Deon Bush would be a nice pickup for my Chargers, how sad is it that we're trying to get pumped about a guy who probably won't slip into the back part of day 2? We hold the record for most consecutive years with a first round picks (14)...and while I believe strongly that we're headed back towards that, we're not there yet. Bush is fine. But when Burns (who is likely a 3rd round pick) and Bush (4-5) are your highlights, it's a down year by Miami standards.
I doubt Deon is going that low, 3rd at worse... Every defensive player under Golden dropped a round or Two below where they would've gone under any other coaching staff. Has more to do with the defense they played in than their actual talent level.
No he's right about bush, actually my dad was telling me even though a lot of people think he's a true safety and he'll be productive because of that he's hurt by his injury past and that he doesn't pop out on his tape which is hat they look for in early round safeties, but they know it's morel than likely it's due to the scheme than him. 4th round to early 5th is expected for him, but if he finishes in the top in his position at the combine then it might propel him into the 3rd round. There's talk about Artie going late first depending on his combine, scouts think he has a high ceiling but was hindered with bad coaching and scheme so he hasn't developed but they love how he's an ultra aggressive CB who has no problem with covering the best receiver and they also like that he's not afraid to make a play if he's able to. Hit on him though is that he's too aggressive and would let up a lot of big plays and PI's and would need to be a third or fourth CB at first so they could work with him on that and he could be sounder on technique. I'll update people on the board about all the canes at the combine as much as I could with what I'm hearing from my father
Honestly when it comes to NFL scouts it seems that majority of them don't have a clue what talent looks like unless ESPN has been hyping that person up their entire cfb careers.... I agree that right now Deon Bush has a low stock bc NFL scouts don't really know what they're doing, every year they just copy and past off of someone else's homework and run with it. And now with the medias input in it (Mel and Todd) it seems that, that is the case even more smh. That's why a Lamar Miller falls to the 4th and an Oliver Vernon falls to the 3rd. Instead of judging these players off of individual talent these players get knocked for playing at a terrible Miami program.
You just said it yourself about how scouts feel about Bush... That he doesn't pop on tape enough for an early round grade which they feel is bc of scheme than him?? So bc of a scheme he's getting knocked when he has higher round talent??? Scouts shoot themselves in the foot all the time.
But if u actually watched Miami, those same scouts would've never even said something like that anyway bc Deon Bush at times was the only defensive player showing up on tape... This year he didn't as much bc he played a lot of corner, but he still made plenty of elite plays throughout his CFB career ( senior year, especially his junior year, and at times during his sophomore year) that I haven't seen other safeites, that those same NFL scouts consider better, make.
Where scouts rank players I take lightly, wherever Deon gets drafted he's going to out play it...
