    I was just reading up on him, he was a QB last season that rushed for massive yards (2,017 last season...double his passing yards!). They say he's built like a RB and they're moving him to WR, even though he's never played WR before and doesn't know any of the routes. He runs a 4.7 40 but they say the kid has talent for days, so looking forward to rooting for him to make the team!

    I'm not a film cruncher or anything. Dude was a playmaker at QB for Navy though, the engine of that entire team. High character. Probably will play WR. I'm more excited to have gotten a pick right than anything specific haha.

    Did we not flip something this year? If not, either a player or a 2021 5th/6th I would guess. Nobody we could live without. The UDFA list should be fun.

    The pick was on the board 5 minutes ago...but we just gave it to Seattle. No idea what you'd trade a late 7th round pick for.

    Seattle doesn't appear to have anything left this year. So either a player or a 2021 pick. Generally, picks in the following draft are a round ahead, so I would guess the 2021 Seattle 6th.

    Some have projected Perry as a wing back or third down specialist. They said only good things happen when the ball is in his hands

    Yeah, maybe....just a strange move right before the draft ends. Seattle took a TE with the pick.

    I mean, he rushed for 2k+ yards last season as the QB....maybe we're bringing him in for the Wildcat or a similar gimmick. I'm honestly excited for him and hoping he makes the team!

    Eh we probably didn't have any specific targets, so let the pick carry over. I imagine Grier and Flores are already on the phone with some guys ready for UDFA period.

    Could see him used in a Taysom Hill eque role, but Simon (the draft guru dude) seems to think he's going to be mostly deployed at WR. Could replace Grant or Wilson if we want to shed salary, though that's a tall order for a 7th rounder.

    This is the guy? 5'9, 190 lbs running a 4.7 40? Got his production against very week competition. Don't get the pick, this is barely UDFA material. Something tells me grier had a very small big board.

    I mean, this was the Mr. Irrelevant pick...it's supposed to be long odds to make the squad since the nation roots for him. I love this guy in that spot because he's super dynamic and fun to watch. Maybe he doesn't make the team....he's not supposed to at #246...but it's a fun camp story to follow anyway. I'm instantly a huge fan of this kid just like I was Grant.

    If he had those skills and ran like Jakeem Grant he might have a shot. Pat White 2.0.

    God, right?? Why didn't pick an instant hall of famer in the 7th round. Terrible pick. Grier should be tarred and feathered for his choice of 7th round pick.

    It doesn’t appear to me that Grier utilized the number of picks to his advantage anywhere near as much as he could have.

    The Dolphins should’ve been the last team to have been reaching all draft. They should’ve been trading up to get steals who had fallen.

    Players fall because teams are reaching for positions of need and not taking the best player available. Unfortunately the Dolphins did the same thing when they could’ve easily been a team repeatedly trading up to get steals.

    I did not **** on every pick in the draft, I liked the Hunt, Davis, Kindley and Weaver picks and I said so when they were picked. You are just concentrating on the ones I didn't like.

    It's a draft that likely will take a year or two to really feel the impact of. Lots of young kids who will start to come into their own in 2021/2022, and if they do ... that's when we hit another gear.

    I like how Hitman spent this entire draft pissing and moaning about taking players with potential over production, so when we take a dude with production in the 7th freaking round, he still needs to piss and moan.

    He ran 4.62 at the combine and ran 4.52 at junior day, and had a 4.31 20 split with a 7.1 shuttle...he is plenty athletic. He has one of the best stop starts in CFB. He is going to ben a YAC guy and likely ends ups in the slot. The downside is he has small hands (8.75)and a small catch radius as he has such a low center go gravity. He has taken a lot of hits and does not give up when he likely should. I personally think he was very draft able and like it in the 7th.

    Didn't reallly look up his 40 numbers, was just going off of the 4.7 number somebody else posted. He looks pretty quick in that clip I posted, but not all that fast especially considering the level of competition. Most of the guys chasing after him probably cant even break 4.7

    Hope he does well though.

    I’m not claiming any special expertise. I just disagree with the strategy for example of reaching for a semi-project tackle at #18 instead of moving up three or four spots and getting the best wide receiver in the draft, who is already polished and highly productive.

    I am not sure what players he is watching........his numbers are off and don't support what is pretty obvious on tape....but he is entitled to his opinion.....he seems to be locked into certain players and seems to value production instead of skill set and fit moving forward which is fair enough,... but it is not the way these guys work. I think he is locked into his guys and is passionate about being right in a process where being right all the time is just not possible, and everyone values different things. All of us may want something different but we are evaluating "the right pick" based on values by teams that we know nothing about. I do know how these guys work the process, but I know ZERO about what their values are.....NOBODY DOES unless we are in their draft room and meeting.....but yeah I don't some of the same things he sees for sure.

    Life is not about either or, it is about balance. Both potential and production are important.

    What if they valued the guy as a top 5 if he came back? If that is what they valued him and had a high floor on him then 18 is a great spot for him...I do not think he would have been there at 26, and not crazy about the pick either and but I can see why they did what they did for the first time in forever....except for Davis.

    I doubt he is ever asked to run a route longer than 15 yards downfield in the next 10 years...he is a slot guy and 3rd down RB maybe. He wasn't drafted on his 40 time although it is not limiting...he was drafted on his quickness change of direction and likely their belief they can coach up his routes since he has such a great COD and stop start. Just IMO.....

    I agree, everyone is entitled to their opinion. I am not trying to be "right", I am just stating what I think about each pick. You can agree or disagree.

    As for my "numbers" being off I said the 4.7 was referencing somebody else's post which I quoted. I didnt look up the times myself.
