Chandler Harnish showed himself well, very well balanced player, body control was excellent, ball flight was nice. Nick Foles... because he didn't cut his long hair, it was constantly in his face and distracting..He looked like sh^% in the drills..not smart putz..
RG is a bad *** mother grabber..blazing speed..hi intellect..accurate passer...Ridiculous prospect...I hope we make a play for him, were gonna have to beat the browns...sh^%..damn it, I never get the guy I want.
4.42 I'm interested with B.J Cunningham's 4.47 40 time. A big, productive WR. I think he's a mini-Michael Floyd. In regards to Vinny Curry. Even as a HUGE Marshall fan, I'd be really upset with Curry at 8. I'd be calling for Ireland's head. Again, I love Curry, but I'd be almost as upset with a trade down scenario also. I think Coples is a much higher talent and the players available at 8 will be very nice.
If Curry is available in the 2nd round, and we didn't select Coples or different pass rusher, then I want him there. 8 is crazy high for Vinny.
Ya. That was pretty awesome. It's so odd projecting that speed though, because he doesn't run. He's a pass first guy, which is great. I'd love to move up and take him also. Then swap him for an elite Phil Rivers! I kid dj, haha, I hope all is well dude!
Thanks, I was poked at when I mentioned that he would run a 4.5 40... Zach Brown can fly, would love to have him on the team.
In my opinion, the most impressive time I have seen today, even more so than RGIII's is: WR, Stephen Hill from GT. He is 6'4 215 and he ran a 40 of 4.30 with a 10 yard split of 1.20. That is just insane for his size. For prospective, the next closest 40 time and 10 yard split was by Travis Benjamin (40 time of 4.32 at 5'10 172) and T.J. Graham (10 yard split of 1.47 at 5'11 188). Just insane that a guy that big can move like that....
Stephen Hill's unofficial 10 yard split of 1.20 seconds, even if that is adjusted down a fair amount, may still be the fastest 10 yard split ever, Chris Johnson had a 1.40.
Harnish seems like a guy the Packers would've grabbed in the mid-rounds and developed him. Sort of like Matt Flynn.
I happened to catch Wright's 40 runs, and it more or less boils down to poor technique, since no one lines up like a sprinter at Wr, I think he did not hurt it to badly, I think he goes to Philly and they move Desean Jackson for some picks.
This is an instance where the combine does not affect a player that Ive looked at hard.. I saw this play Pod,where RG just lofted a deep bomb that was going to land in the back of the end zone if untouched, this freaking kid tracked the ball which was an over the shoulder type, because of how off centered it was, he literally and I don't know how, moved his body about 5 yards to the right, in a full sprint, over the shoulder, and tapped his mother grabbing feet for 6..It was a ridiculous display of talent..Steve Smith sh^5 dynamics.
Yeah, happened to watch him a few times, dude is just a playmaker. He did not have his feet really set on the sprinters' line, if you care you can probably rewatch it on NFL.com
The more I think about it the more and more I don't think we take Brockers.... If we lose Big Paul, we will need to upgrade the position, especially if we switch to a 4-3. That being said this draft is very deep at DT. The top 5 DTs (Brockers, Poe, Cox, Still, Worthy, etc) could all come in and start from Day 1 in my eyes. I think Ireland will realize this because, he is very very good at assessing value. This leaves me to believe we could target a DT with our second round pick because chances are at least one of those guys is available. The more I think about it the more I like our chances of trading back and picking up another 2nd. If we move into that mid-teens range we could have a draft similar to this: 1.) WR Kendall Wright or Best OT available such as Cordy Glenn, Rieff if he falls, DeCastro, possibly Martin 2a.) one of those DTs listed above... Hopefully Cox 2b.) One of the top 3 TEs (Charles, Fleener, Allen)
Kendall Wright with an official 4.61? I guess I'm actually lucky that Justin Blackmon decided not to run. Yeesh. B.J. Cunningham is interesting in that he keeps a smooth eye level when he's running, and so he catches the ball really well without breaking stride. I put him in there with Marvin McNutt who also is a good, balanced runner that displays at times almost Oronde Gadsden type ability to catch the ball, and also some ability to play physical and balanced after the catch. There really are not very many wide receivers in this Draft that I would take over Devon Wylie. Just being honest. Wiggles isn't just some guy I saw in Shrine practice that showed unusual balance but can't separate or run in interesting ways. He's not a Blair White. He's not a B.J. Cunningham, either. This is a man that has gifts that few wide receivers possess. He ran an official 4.39 in the 40. Good other measures too. Wish he'd run the shuttle or cone drills because he may have taken Best in Show in either or both. What I love about him is all that agility shows up in his route running and adjustments to the ball in the air. He can adjust to the ball in the air coming out of breaks that other receivers just would never be able to. He's a gifted punt return guy too, and I've seen him track the ball in tight coverage on the outside, hauling it in for the deep catch. With as much speed as he's got, he's got the versatility to play on the outside. Combination of eyes for the ball, Gumby ankles and straight up speed...are scary. This guy has Wes Welker like potential...if he can stay healthy.
Hard to believe about Kendall Wright. His unofficial was 4.45 and I cannot recall ever seeing such a disparity in official and unofficial. Usually it is no more than .05 seconds
I saw some issues with Kendall Wright's start which, when put together with the huge unofficial/official disparity, make me tag his 40 time with the same red flag as Joe Haden's from a few years ago. Haden had that weird unconventional start which did not play well with the Combine thumbs. Wright had similar issues. I think the 4.45 is closer to reality on him. I never expected better than that, even though many did.
Poe is ******* amazing. To run that fast and jump that high, at that weight...he fits the old George Young planet theory player criteria for sure. His bench is off the charts too, though the short arms and barrel chest account for part of that. His 40 time and vertical impress me more than his bench does.
I don't know what it is but I get caught up in the combine and take bad 40 times seriously not sure why Didn't think he wa such athlete. What are the odds he is a top 10 pick?
My boy Bruce Irvin tore up just about everything. Unofficial 4.43.....6.70 three cone.....4.03 shuttle...... 10'03 broad jump. Doesn't get any better than that. That's our future hybrid SOLB if it's up to me. (shaddup BK )
Demario Davis (LB, Arkansas State) BLEW IT UP with a 4.53 best forty, 10'04" broad jump, 38.5" vertical, and 32 bench. Those are elite power/explosion numbers. That's a combined total of 80+, better than DeMarcus Ware & Cam Wake.(Ware: 10'02", 38.5", 27 bench.... and 4.56 40 for a total of 75.) Heck, 80 might rank top 5 in the past decade. I love this kid. With that kind of core strength and explosion, I think you could bulk him up to 250 and turn him into a James Harrison type OLB b/c IMO his play, mentality, violence, and instincts are similar.
I thought the Clemson players were your boys. You're claiming West By God Virginia players now too? BTW, his official 40 was 4.50...Amazing shuttle and cone times, no one else even close on either one.
He looked totally unprepared to me. Did he sit out the drills? When they were running all those various pass coverage drills, I didn't see him in the group. Unless he recovers with a great workout at his pro day, he's looking at going undrafted, when you add his attitude in with it.
If I was a GM I would totally take him off my draft board. He has all the makings of a cancer and doesn't have the talent to back it up.
I'd take him with a 6th or 7th if he actually drops that far just because he could easily get cut and nobody would mind, now if someone pushed him and brought him back to how he played a year ago...that would be a steal
Any thoughts on Lavonte David? I know he screwed up directions in the on the field drills and missed the catches, but what round does he go in? TIA Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
burfict looked slow in his 40, but he doesnt play slow. he plays pretty explosive on the field which is what matters. not my fav prospect but don't focus on the 40 with him.
