Do you want a player that hits hard? I mean really hard? Jaquiski Tartt may be for you.
TweetShare on Twitter(6)ShareShare on FacebookPinPinterest32 Comments

Out of all the safety prospects this year, the one guy with the token "Kam Chancellor" comparison is Jaquiski Tartt, SS out of tiny Samford. You can see the size comparisons, standing at 6-foot-1, 225 pounds he's a load to contend with. Is he a fit for the Giants? You bet. Let's take a look:

Pros

- Already mentioned his size. Has the athleticism to play at that size.
- Powerful hitter and fundamental tackler
- Instinctive and can react well
- Decisive player that plays confidently and aggressively
- Good range and ability to move laterally
Cons

- Tight hips make it difficult for him to hold up in man coverage
- Not sure if I've seen enough to make me comfortable putting him single high
- Has had lapses in coverage, sometimes has trouble judging depth
Does He Fit With The Giants?

The Giants have two strong safety prospects in Cooper Taylor and Nat Berhe, but neither should force them to pass on a strong safety prospect if they really like him. Tartt brings an angry and aggressive presence to the Giants' backfield and that cannot be understated.

Final Thoughts

A powerful, aggressive safety, Tartt appears to be a box safety with elite size and power. He's smart, confident, and should be the apple of a coach's eye with his aggressive playstyle. I think he can hold his own in a Cover 2 scheme but I would not trust him as the single high guy. I'm not sure how I feel about his man coverage skills against tight ends and that will ultimately determine his draft range. If coaches feel he can improve his hip flexion and technique, he'll go on Day 2. If not, definitely Day 3.

Draft Analysis:

• 6'0" Height
• 32 1/4" Arm Length
• 198LBS. Weight
• 9 1/4" Hands

Overview

In 2014, selected third-team All-American and first-team All-Pac-12. Led team in receptions and yards. Had a 12-catch, 120-yard and one-touchdown game in blowout win over Notre Dame. In 2013, selected second-team All-Pac-12 as a return specialist and was an honorable mention All-Pac-12 wide receiver, finishing the season with one reception fewer than Marquise Lee (2014 second-round pick). Was a Super Prep and Prep Star All-American in high school while playing running back, wide receiver and safety. Primarily used as running back in high school. Was born in Nigeria and moved to the United States when he was five. His father, Felix, played soccer in Nigeria.
Analysis

Strengths

Runs a good route and competes hard on every snap. Able to drive defender into a poor leverage position. Bouncy, quick feet for burst out of breaks. Adequate separation quickness and twitch. Understands his position. Will improvise to get open for scrambling quarterback. Highly instinctive in space with consistent feel for working his way to open spaces as a presentable, ready target. Almost always works his way back to the throw when needed. Natural hands. Has snatch-and-run readiness after the catch with initial quickness to make things happen. Tracks the ball over his shoulder and careful not to crowd himself against the boundary. Dominated the competition over second half of the year. Dangerous punt returner. Weaknesses

Quicker than fast. Has some straight-line to him with just average fluidity through hips. Unable to blow by cornerbacks and create separation over the top. Play strength is below average. Had issues shaking Oregon State CB Steven Nelson. Will get stuck in low gear from time to time by long, press corners with strength. Lean frame. Worked well from bunch formations and might rely on pre-snap movement to free himself, depending on matchup. Will have to prove he can work inside and take punishing shots from NFL defenders. Willing blocker but lacks the core strength to be consistently effective at it. Sources Tell Us

"Right off the bat, his draft value has a ceiling because he's a slot receiver. At least that is how I see it. I don't think he has the speed to get open outside. He's a good value in the middle rounds, though, because of his return=game potential." -- NFC South scout NFL Comparison

Ryan Broyles Bottom Line

Intelligent, instinctive receiver with an advanced feel for getting himself open against zone coverage and off man. He's lacking a speed component to force cornerbacks to respect him over the top and he might not be physical enough to play outside. Agholor's best position could be working from the slot as a reliable possession receiver who can step right into the punt-returner job on Day 1.

Draft Analysis:

• 6'1" Height
• 32 3/8" Arm Length
• 221LBS. Weight
• 9 7/8" Hands

Overview

Redshirted his freshman year in 2010. In 2011, played in 11 games with 23 tackles, including 8 against Appalachian State. Started all 11 games at free safety in 2012 and was named first-team All-Conference and All-American. Was a finalist for the Buck Buchanan Award, which goes to the top defensive player in all of Division I-FCS football. Was named All-Conference and All-American again in 2013 as a redshirt junior after starting 12 games at free safety and tying for third on the team in tackles with 98, including 69 solo stops. In 2014, was named to the American Football Coaches Association FCS All-America team after finishing second on the team with 62 tackles, including 53 solo stops. For his career, Tartt tallied 277 total tackles (199 solo tackles), six interceptions, 20 pass break-ups and 6.5 tackles for loss.
Analysis

Strengths

Well-built with impressive overall size. Gets downhill quickly from high safety to mix it up in run support. Takes good angles to ball carriers and is an aggressive tackler. Willing to play through pain and compete. Fierce competitor. Plays with confident, clear eyes to diagnose and handle his responsibilities. Attacks the ball at point of catch to disrupt wide receiver and dislodge the pass. Weaknesses

Gets caught staring into backfield as a single high safety. Will let post routes get behind him and doesn't feature recovery speed to get back into that play. Becomes over-aggressive in space and will overrun tackles. Limited man-cover ability. NFL Comparison

Barry Church Bottom Line

Tartt has terrific size and is a physical tackler but he must show that he can handle coverage responsibilities. Despite playing 2-deep and single-high coverage, Tartt's size and aggressiveness as a tackler might be best utilized around the line of scrimmage or in a "robber" scheme. Tartt has the size, athleticism and overall talent to be an NFL starter.

Top 50 most intriguing prospects:


http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap300...2015-nfl-draft


14. Todd Gurley, RB, Georgia
The skinny: If he didn't have ACL injury, he is likely the first RB off the board and would go in the first round. Are teams willing to bet on him after the quick recoveries of Adrian Peterson and Jamaal Charles?


25. Jaquiski Tartt, S, Samford
The skinny: Small-school safety with big-school size. Physical and didn't seem rattled or in awe against better competition in college. He made colleague Mike Mayock's list of the top five safeties in the draft.

[Formula 21]

CBS has two mocks with the Bolts taking Gurley or Gordon in the first. The secret is out.

[Bearded14YourPleasure]

Gurley and Agholor 1-2 wouldn't be upsetting.

[Fleet]

Good draft. Be hard to pass on Marpet at OG. O would be set for a while with those 3 guys. Just need a TE in the next year or 2. Hopefully not a QB.

I was thinking OG Marpet too ...

Had never heard much about Jaquiski Tartt until seeing Mayock having him in his top 5 safeties ... even thought Samford was the Stinky mis-spelling of Stanford ...

Hes a stud and we need defenders. So its a good pick. I just really like Marpet and in a pinch he can Play OT. Maybe even Center. He was a Left Tackle.

LOL! So did I.

[Boltx]

Wouldn't you say Gordon is the more "ready to help us win now" prospect?

See this is why I hate it when your star players get to be in their late prime....do you draft the guy that will help you win now...or the guy that's gonna be the better pro in 3 years? And Rivers kinda has our balls in a vicegrip with all the noncommittal comments.
