Marlon Humphrey production

AlistarWills · Nov 13, 2016

We don't see Marlon thrown on a lot. One would assume he's got good blanket coverage keeping the ball from coming his way. Every now and then you see him give up a play. I just wonder how he's been grading out.

BAMAVILLE · Nov 13, 2016

I'm assuming you're asking this about his draft grade? Nothing official but CBS sports has him in the first round. Usually most of these mock drafts have been way off as of late so I wouldn't be surprised if he's grading out in the 2nd round ... which may be enough for him to stay one more year to be an assured top 10 pick.

To me he has made maybe the most mistakes on a defense that makes very little. Called for interference a good bit, beaten a good bit. Not a ton but not a first or second round pick. He hasn't done a great job finding the ball in the air. But he is very physical which has been good.

Still believe he needs another year.

Man, this has been brought up many time throughout the season. He was fighting an injury and finally got over it... and He has performed better overrall in last three games. So what he gives up 1 or 2 passes.... he still get the job done. I don't think he will be back next year, regardless of what anyone says about his production. NFL probably will see something in him that most of us haven't seen.. So I am okay with him potentially leaving the team after this season.

I would argue the same for Harrison/ Jones/ Brown. They've had their moments as well.

One more thing: Humphrey only gave up one long pass, but other than that he had a shutout day.

AlexD · Nov 13, 2016

Didn't say I wasn't ok with him leaving. No need to rant like I started the thread. It's a very educated opinion/observation. Let's just see how he finishes but I do think he is probably gone no matter what happens.

JustNeedMe81 · Nov 13, 2016

there's no rant going on. This is a discussion board correct?

AlexD · Nov 13, 2016

Your first line comes off like man we're really talking about this again.. But if that is not what you meant cool haha he has done better but the passing game for the last few games have also been worse. Don't get me wrong he is a great player just room for improvement. Like Harrison and his crossing rout coverage skills(what were impressive against lsu) improved.

JustNeedMe81 · Nov 13, 2016

I was saying that this has been brought up so many times on this board, that's all. All I was saying is that people just need to understand that even through he gives up plays time to time, he actually only gave up 2 touchdowns for this year. When you look at the stats: https://media.profootballfocus.com/2016/11/Humphrey.png

So I feel like he's improving since Arkansas game. I expect him to be lot better this weekend and next weekend and then first half stats won't matter anyway. I have a feeling that we'll find out the true reason behind his performance soon.

AlexD · Nov 13, 2016

I completely agree with you.

TAKEPRIDE22 · Nov 14, 2016

IMO, he's always there, good cover, but judging the ball has been his issue. He's rarely just beat.

I'm with you, but if there is one pass that given up it's to him. I think Averett has outplayed him thus far. But it's only nitpicking on my part. Marlon is the man. Seriously!

I'm not a pro scout but my guess would be a second round selection at best. He's an excellent college player (even with the mistakes) but I just don't see a team using a first round pick on him. But stranger things have happened.

I agree. That's the difference in being a mid 2nd-late 3rd round pick to going in the first. It benefited Allen and Jackson to stick around and they are for sure 1st rounders

TrampLineman · Nov 14, 2016

I took some heat because I said he was better than Tony Brown out of h.s., but that is a good problem to have....lol

He's definitely a first rounder, but I think he stays another year and is then a first rounder.

bamanix · Nov 14, 2016

if being a number one round pick than possibly a second round then staying will be worth his wait.

gamersfuel · Nov 14, 2016

I wouldnt be shocked if he left because he could be at worst a 2nd rounder based on potential. but he needs more time before he tries to run with the NFL. He'd get killed by NFL WR's..As good as some of our best CB's have been in college under Saban, none have duplicated that same success in the NFL. Not saying Marlon wont but its not as easy as some think.

Averett has been noticeably better than Marlon in my totally uneducated view.
