BengalPimp Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 We already have the Palmer brothers, so why not the Geathers brothers as well? I'll admit, i haven't seen much of Clifton Geathers, but like his older brother Robert he is leaving school a year early to enter the draft. I've seen mocks with him in the 5th to 6th Round range.His 2009 stats were modest....40 tackles, 3 sacks, 1 forced fumble.Like his brother, he will be a pick based on "potential" He is actually bigger than his brother. While Robert is listed at 6'3" 280 lbs..."Little" brother Clifton is 6'8" 281 lbs with long arms. Opinions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kazkal Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 I'd have NP spending late rounder on him 6'8 boy be huge...But pretty limited space at DE so for rookie catch on gonna have earn their keep as a passrusher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BengalPimp Posted February 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 He would have benefited from another year in college, but he potentially can be better than Robert...Just not right away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAPPYJAQ Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 He would have benefited from another year in college, but he potentially can be better than Robert...Just not right away.He's much further behind in his development than Robert was, so he'll need at least a couple of seasons on the PS. I don't think he's ready to contribute in sub packages at DE yet. I would even suspect that more 3-4 teams look at him than 4-3 bases. That said, he has the frame to add at least another 20 pounds, and might be better suited inside in the 4-3. With his upside, size and pedigree, I'd pull the trigger in round 5 in a heartbeat.

Geathers has the kind of elite size and athleticism you don't find very often. But he is raw. Still, he would be very good value on Day 3 and could contribute right away in a rotation up and down the line and on special teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With his pedigree, and his 6'8" 281lb frame, agreed, he could move up and down the line, if his speed isn't that good, he should be able to pack on a few pounds and would make one big DT. At 6'8" with his reach, that could = quite a few tipped passes at the line of scrimage...but that's all just speculation at this point.
