NYJ 2014 1st Round Pick (18): Louisville's Calvin Pryor

[Heismanberg]

Welcome to the New York Jets!

Calvin Pryor - Safety - Louisville

[Jumbo]

Pryor is a fuckin beast. Personal fouls galore but he'll strike fear into opponents

Dude hits like a Mack truck, can't wait until he lights up Watkins over the middle of the field.

Someone please opine on his coverage abilities, that's what freaking matters in my opinion. In the game today the Jets need coverage ability.

Hello 46 defense, welcome back to New York

Two numbers for you, homie:  46

You and I talked about toughness earlier when discussing Gilbert.  You don't have to worry about that here.  This kid will run through a wall for Ryan.

I wanted an offensive player, but let's see this thing play out.

He has the ability to be a good coverage safety

Charlie Strong, who is one of the better defensive coaches in college football, loved the kid.

I love that part (the toughness yes). I will not lie, I never watched him, I don't know much about him. That said, when the talking heads said "might be suspect in coverage" it gives me pause.


Fyi: Brady shits all over the 46 for fun.

Ok if he can it's a great pick.

It's not because he can't do it.  He just goes for the killshot too much. 

He finds the football.  Ryan and Thurman need to clean him up a little bit and he'll be alright.

Congratulations on continuing a trend of not being an offensive player drafted in the first round since Mark Sanchez.

So we drafted a healthier Landry ?

Johnny E should be happy

[Heismanberg]

If he gets a clean shot on Edelman, it's over...
