2032 Las Vegas Draft Recap and Training Camp Media Guide
1.05
LDE Tom Harvey
Buffalo
6'0" 267lbs.
Harvey impressed Vegas' scouts and impressed everyone at the combine. Harvey's numbers made most people overlook his height, which may be a concern. Vegas thought about QB Farr and OLB Holliday at 1.05 but Farr's lack of combine numbers and the relatively lower ROI from an outside LB steered Vegas' hand in this one. TufrfToe stated, "We have always received good value at the defensive end position. The other guys merited the selection but we weren't expecting to see Harvey there at five - we just couldn't pass him up."
Pre-Camp: 38/70
Post-Camp: 43/72 (+5/+2)
Underrated
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.09
QB Pat Springer
Wyoming
5'10" 208lbs.
Springer was not expected to be available at Vegas' second round pick where pundits expected Vegas to make a pick in the secondary. Some wonder if Liszkiewicz Jr. has been put on notice as there seems to be a nice QB controversy brewing before camp even starts.
Pre-Camp: 11/64
Post-Camp: 16/58 (+5/-6) I hate QB's
Very Underrated

3.08
RB Mack Arnold
Kentucky
5'10" 209lbs.
Arnold was one of many running backs that seemed to promise significant value deep into the 2032 draft. Arnold's blocking ability and third down catching caught TurfToe's eye and brought Arnold into the fold of a backfield with a talented mentor (Hutchins) and may push second year back Van Engelen, who struggled picking up the blitz and catching the ball out of the backfield in his rookie year. Arnold's well developed and TurfToe mentioned him by name when discussing players that may only need some work in the weight room to be ready come Week 1.

4.07
MLB Broderick Fregoso
Muskingum
5'10" 236lbs.
Yes, the talented LB from Muskingum. Not exactly what came to mind first when Fregoso's name was called at the combine but this athlete has a lot of potential with some solid line backing skills. His special team's play almost guarantees a spot on a CFL roster somewhere. Fregoso qualifies as a typical Vegas "crazy linebacker" pick with a motor that never quits and often over-revs.
Pre-Camp: 25/60
Post-Camp: 28/53 (+3/-7)

5.06
FS Blake Giles
Michigan
6'0" 200lbs.
Giles was drafted as a run stuffing safety. Even as a situational player, Giles offers a nose for reading the run that is sorely needed in Vegas. Giles blew away the combine with an amazing showing in the agility drills. His speed and football intelligence also contributed to many teams requesting interviews at the combine. Vegas was not one of those teams but reached early in the fifth round to make him a Rounder.
Pre-Camp: 15/41
Post-Camp: 21/45 (+6/+4) w00t!

6.05
SLB Corey Hodges
Michigan State
6'2" 242lbs.
Hodges was a tackling machine at the outside linebacker for the Spartans. His pass rush skills also contributed to the Spartans' sack record for 2031. Fregoso is borderline psychotic but Hodges makes Fregoso seem passive. If Fregoso was Vegas crazy linebacker pick, we're guessing Hodges is the team whack job pick. Hodges is another special team performer, although not at the same level of Fregoso. We expect fireworks on almost any special team play this year if Hodges and Fregoso both make the team and share the field on special team's plays this year.
Pre-Camp: 19/49

7.09
RG Shaun Ethridge
Georgia Tech
6'4" 325lbs.
Ethridge's combine numbers caught the eye of someone in Vegas. His bench and 40 times indicate a tremendous athlete in a big body. We're not sure if Ethridge can make the cut but his track record seems ot indicate he'll give Vegas every effort trying to make the squad.
Pre-Camp: 19/48
