It is not the greatest approval of a choice when the analyst of the project immediately says that he prefers to have the player that the team has exceeded.
This is how the recovery expert of the ESPN NFL, Mel Kiper, began his evaluation of the quarter-arre of the new Giants Jaxson Dart after Big Blue exchanged to select it and give up the selection of SheDer Sanders.
“Surprised from the front on Sheder, not shocked, because (coach Brian) Daboll wants mobility,” said Kiper.
Kiper then used most of his time to discuss choice n ° 25 in the project to tell you why there are concerns about the selection of giants in a little curve of the usual speech project.
This is normal during the draft season to hear how great each choice is and how each prospect has the potential to be a star, with a common chorus being: “I cannot believe how this guy fell in the 20s or 30s.”
Listening to Kiper on Dart after landing with the Giants informed the spectator that, basically, the Dart figures have improved each season and that he has double threat capacities.
You have not heard of the strength of the arms or the ability to direct or the way it progresses through its readings, traits with which the quarters want to be associated.
“Jaxson Dart can beat a defense with his legs,” said Kiper. “Her percentage of completion each year under (Ole Miss Coach) Lane Kiffin improved – sixty -two percent, 65%, culminated with 69% last year. The touch plays, 20 to 23 years old in the last year, 11 affected in the last two years, 1,500 yards on the ground in the past three years in Ole Miss.”
You have heard, however, how Dart collapsed in large places, while Sanders would not.
Kiper referred to the performance of Dart against the LSU, Georgia and Florida, the first two representatives of classified adversaries and the third of a match that Ole Miss needed to win in her hunt for the cutting edge of university football.
DART completed 57.1% of its passes and launched a hit and an interception in a defeat of 29-26 against LSU and achieved 59.1% of its throws with a report of 1: 1 in a victory of 28-10 against Georgia.
During the defeat of 24-17 against Florida which probably put the nail in the coffin of the chances of CFP of the rebels, Dart launched 323 yards with two affected and two interceptions while fulfilling only 58.5% of its passes.
These four total interceptions represented two thirds of its total of season, while the percentages of completion fell from its average of the season by 69.3%.
“The concern for me, and the reason why I am a guy of SheDer is, in a large place, that you came big?” said Kiper, who had Sanders as top QB even before the pick n ° 1 Pick Cam Ward.
“Three large places, he did not come tall, SheDer has always done despite his harassment.”
Kiper then used the end of his rant to let the world know that when everything is said and does, he expects Sanders to be better than Dart.
He even compared Sanders to Brett Favre, Joe Montana, Geno Smith and Boots Esiason in terms of quarter-arre who had other people in front of them in the decisions project that did not age well.
“I like Jaxson Dart, I like SheDer,” he said. “It is not always going on the quarters go to the order where they train in the NFL, so she is still believing, I will say it until I am badly proven after that, the saints of New Orleans are the perfect weather because Sheder, like Drew and Peyton Manning, certainly helped to help him and make her career. capable of. »»
