Martin doesn't surprise me too much, but Cotton and especially Compton do.
I'm also a bit surprised that Stafford was invited over PJ Smith. I suppose teams know Stafford lays the wood and want to know how he does in drills and assignments.
I'd go for Stafford over Smith plus Stafford had a few more highlight-type plays.
I feel like Stafford always had trouble with blown assignments here. From his very first game through Wisconsin in the CCG. Great hitter, but that doesn't cut it in the pros.
I completely agree. My friends and I had a running joke with Stafford the entire year. It seemed that for every good play they had with Stafford, they were a solid lock for a 15 yard penalty or a badly blown assignment. The man missed more tackles than I can count on one hand in the B1G championship game. A friend of mine was working the CCG for the press and said even the out-of-state reporters were having a good laugh at Stafford. Granted, the entire defense looked awful, but Stafford looked especially awful, and his mistakes are compounded when he's the last line of defense and is depended upon to stop the big play.
And it wasn't just the CCG. As I said, he was responsible for a personal foul penalty one or sometimes two times a game, as well as badly blown assignments.
He's simply a very inconsistent player. Lacks discipline, focus, and solid fundmental play at times. The fact that he got a combine invite over a guy like Martin, who even though he didn't see as many snaps is still a better play imho) is baffling.
