draft? Based on his pro day numbers he should have been at worst a mid round pick. BP 24 - That is two more than Pugh who has short arms. Vertical - 41 matches David Wilson. His 3 cone drill of 6.87 beats Wilson's of 7.09. Did he have some off the field issues or was it the lack of production that hurt him?
....
Been very pleasantly surprised thus far though.
Scott is a 7th rounder.
To be fair, there was an article I which his HS coach or mentor thought he was a poor fit for Michigan,. so, maybe he would have been more productive in a different program (as compared to Michigan).
It was a bad fit for sure, but what is stunning is that Cox wasn't even a guy who played specials. There is no reason a guy with his size/speed who wasn't playing wouldn't be on any specials, but he wasn't. He also was further up the depth chart in the beginning of his career and then fell off, which is a little weird.
Best decision he ever made was leaving to go to Umass. I believe he got his degree at michigan, so more power to him for taking advantage of a free education and utilizing the transfer rule to get some playing time. He would not have made the nfl had he stayed at michigan, so good for him for making a great decision.
If you think teams simply go to pro days, use those measurements and draft you have a tremendous amount to learn about player evaluation.
So far it appears they did their jobs very well, cause Cox looks like a playa.
Thanks for the inside dope from his U Mich days too, Wolverine.
