The Easton Stick Mega Thread

[HerdBot]

I've said it before, Easton showed major progress after working with Carson and the Philly receivers last summer. His arm mechanics were cleaner and faster, his footwork is farther along than Carson's at this point, and he's got more-than-adequate arm strength. If Easton stays healthy, a first round pick is definitely possible.

To be a first round pick, the following has to happen

1) great senior season
2) nfl combine invite and he would have to kill it
3) senior bowl and do well
4) win

As fast as Easton is, I think he has the potential to kill it at the combine.

I hope the Bison blow a few teams out early (as they should) and KC plays his backups as much as possible. Its always fun to watch the next QB's in line get quality snaps. Nothing like getting reps against real game competition. Its also nice to see a fresh QB going into the playoffs. The Bison did a nice job harnessing Stick last year thru the season by limiting his play calling to avoid a lot of unnecessary running of the ball. He may well be the best run option on that team when really in need of a big play. A designed QB draw out of the shotgun is the best play call the Bison have, its lethal.

^^^^ This.. NDSU never seems to pull the QB quicker when playing these pud teams up 3-4 touchdowns

Limit his running?? Stick was the second leading rusher on the team with 839 yards

I think there were some changes made a bit to play calling when Cole Davis went down, and the freshman QB got kicked off the team. With Hendricks as the back up, I think they really didn't want to take many chances of Easton getting hurt. Also, how many RB's were healthy enough last year to get into 2nd place in overall rushing? It was a year of adversity on the injury front like no other.

Stick was held back thru mid season and it was even addressed as such to the media by the coaching staff. Once conference play started when a big play was needed for a first down etc.. Stick would take off with the ball on designed plays, however, he was clearly held back as to try and prevent wear and tear coming into playoff season. Again, it was clear to anyone who knew what they were watching up to mid-season, and noted by the coaching staff when asked by the media if they were "limiting Stick a bit". Its why he didn't lead the team in rushing

Selected #5 overall? I don't think that will happen. But I also don't think it's outside the realm of possibility if the stars are aligned for Easton. Time will tell. I'm sure it's not high on Easton's list of priorities at this time. He seems pretty well grounded.

It is supposed to be a weak QB class. That seems to be said a lot though.

I could see a team like the Saints moving up in the 2019 draft to get him. An eventual Brees to Stick transition could be pretty smooth.
