Vishante Shiancoe


Height: 6-4

Weight: 251

Position: TE

College: Morgan State

Drafted: Pick 27 of the 3rd round by N.Y. Giants
Analysis
Positives: Well-built with long arms and large hands...Uses his leg drive to defeat the jam coming off the line of scrimmage...Has ideal deep acceleration to get into the secondary quickly...Solid pattern runner who is very effective on the option pass, showing the burst needed to escape the linebackers after the catch...Sees the ball well, doing a nice job of tracking the ball in over his shoulders...Makes proper adjustments on the ball, displaying above average leaping ability and body control to compete with the defender for the pigskin at its high point...Has soft hands, extending properly to pluck and snatch away from the body's frame...Has the hip swerve to elude and the power to break arm tackles.
Negatives: Marginal blocker who seems to hesitate when asked to fire off the line to neutralize the linebackers with a cut block...Can be driven back into the pocket by the larger defenders...Does not get his arms up with effective pop and explosion when trying to sustain...More of a short yardage route runner, as he needs to refine his cuts and does a poor job of using his body to keep the defenders away from the ball (needs to secure the pigskin better before heading upfield)...Shows good hand placement, but still lets the defender get into his chest too quickly to redirect him.

Chris Brown


Height: 6-3

Weight: 220

Position: RB

College: Colorado

Drafted: Pick 29 of the 3rd round by Tennessee
Analysis
Positives: Well-built athlete with an outstanding size/speed package... Flashes quick moves off the snap and is very effective scanning the field when taking a pitch-out... Shows determination and power running between the tackles...Has a compact build and a strong lower frame that allows him to run through arm tackles...Shows strength breaking into the secondary...Takes proper angles trying to accelerate past the line...Has good veer and weave running with the ball...Protects the ball securely and displays solid route-running skills with proper hand extension going for the screen passes...Very quick and decisive getting to off-target throws...Stands his ground firmly as a blocker picking up the blitz, facing up to deliver a forceful hand punch.
Negatives: Has had problems overcoming minor injuries...More comfortable in the short passing game, as he tends to look sloppy coming out of his breaks on deep routes...Needs to do a better job of being aware when the opponent is blitzing, in order to lend support as a blocker...Looks to make the "home run" plays too often, developing a reliance on that factor.
