Probably 0% chance any teams give him a look as a slotback.

However, at RB, Nix could be the next Fridge

 

[CanadalovesND]

Shembo second run: 4.62 unofficial with a 1.59 10yd split

Mayock thinks he could work himself into the fourth round, and ideally is a 3-4 ILB or 4-3 MIKE

 

[CanadalovesND]

Officially a 4.71 for Shembo.

 

[Brooklyn]

Shembo looking very good in positional drills. For a guy who hasn't dropped back much here, he looks fluid and unlike most of these guys here, he hasn't dropped many, if any, passes.

He has been in the wrong scheme.

 

[NCND]

He has been in the wrong scheme.

Totally agree.

 

[Sherm Sticky]

He has been in the wrong scheme.

Blame Diaco and Longo!

 

[CanadalovesND]

Shembo had an impressive 38.5" vertical jump and a 10'-2" in the broad jump... both are tied for 4th best among LBs at combine

Wow.

 

[Brooklyn]

Shembo is really helping his stock. From his tape he shows heavy hands and a relentless pursuit. Now at the combine he is showing the athleticism and fluidity needed to be a linebacker. Looks close to complete as a player. Could go much higher than I would've thought (5th round to now potentially 3rd).

Better shuttle than GA and almost as good as TJ. Wow.

 

[Huntr]

Jackson 13 reps on bench.

 

[dublinirish]

Jackson 13 reps on bench.

probably would have guessed this. hopefully he can add a few more at the pro-day

 

[rocket66]

Yeah that's a little weak for BJ

 

[dublinirish]

Yeah that's a little weak for BJ

hes never really been that strong though, always struggled with physical receivers

 

[rtrn2glory]

hes never really been that strong though, always struggled with physical receivers

so mayock pretty much hit the nail on the head when it comes to his concerns with his strength.

i wonder how much running track in the winter played a role in this?

NFL Mock Draft 2014: Breaking Down Picks 1 Through 32 | Bleacher Report

On another note, and i know it's bleacher report, here's a updated Mock after the combine.

has all 3 of nix, martin, and tuitt in the late 1st round.

WalterFootball.com: 2014 NFL Mock Draft: Third Round

here's one with the same grade for nix, tuitt, and martin....and a 3rd round grade for Niklas to the Falcons, which would be a nice fit for him with Gonzalez planning to retire.

 

[Ironman8]

I don't think Tuitt is going to go in the 1st round anymore, unfortunately.

 

[GoIrish41]

I don't think Tuitt is going to go in the 1st round anymore, unfortunately.

Really? Personally, I'd be shocked if he didn't. I think he might go ahead of Nix.

 

[CanadalovesND]

Jackson's first unofficial 40: 4.46

 

[AvesEvo]

Faster than I thought.

 

[Huntr]

Faster than I thought.

Yup.

I don't think Tuitt is going to go in the 1st round anymore, unfortunately.

I think it's been kind of a tossup since the '13 season. There might be a few teams that would take him in Rd 1, but only a few.

 

[CanadalovesND]

Second unofficial 40: 4.47

 

[AvesEvo]

BJ time may not be bad, but it looks like it takes him to almost the 30 yard mark before he gets to top speed. He isn't very quick.

 

[Sherm Sticky]

Really? Personally, I'd be shocked if he didn't. I think he might go ahead of Nix.

I agree with this, I think he still slides in the first because of potential.

I'm not sure if this has been noted, but Tuitt is planning on having a Pro Day at Notre Dame on March 6th and do all the events he wasn't able to do at the combine.

Then he will be getting surgery on his foot after the pro day.

 

[Sherm Sticky]

That's where I expected Jackson to be. Remember he was all state track guy in Jersey.
