gumby73 Posted February 23, 2020 Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 starting at 4PM Blows!! Took the week off, weeks ago, not seeing the time change yet. Sadly, my years of 'Nobodies Home' Bloody Mary morning scouting took a back seat to these tv rating mongrels.. Men across america will be asked to choose between a) a wife's stiff-y? or b.) viewing a hog molly in tights run a short shuttle? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion Posted February 25, 2020 Report Share Posted February 25, 2020 I find most of it quite boring. But I DO like to watch the Receivers. I mean, you can either catch it or you can't. I especially like the gauntlet. Does he catch them? How fast and smooth does he run it? One of the most effortless runs I ever saw was Emanuel Sanders. He looked like he could do it with his eyes closed. - Man was I pissed when the Steelers drafted him. ...after that, let me know who ran fast and who lifted a cow the highest...

The Gipper Posted February 25, 2020 Report Share Posted February 25, 2020 Didn't this start today? I suppose today it was all just medical exams and interviews. Nothing on field to see?

Even midget Kyler Murray rates 1\2" bigger. FWIW Dak Prescott at 10.8" is almost 2" bigger. Some scouts consider that how well you can grip the ball in wet weather.

Some scouts consider that how well you can grip the ball in wet weather. The Movin' the Chains experts on NFL Net joked about that because you can't judge by hand size alone when you compare it to all the film. They see that as "smoke" from other teams wanting him to drop down from Cincy. "Ain't gonna happen" in their opinion. "Sometimes you can analyze yourself right out of the best player out there. What did he do in Ohio with that weather and what has he done at LSU? That's the only thing that really matters." BTW he was a 1st team All-state point guard with an even larger ball. With 9 inch hands? Not possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commitment to do all drills would have to be in writing prior to invitation being finalized. If a player won't commit, pull the invitation & offer it to another kid who wants to go & fully participate. Mike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tour2ma Posted February 27, 2020 Report Share Posted February 27, 2020 The more I look the more I like Thomas at the head of this OT class... and he's still pretty raw. Still think Wills has the highest floor. Becton? Feet are fine in pass pro, but his punch is erratic. He doesn't move well in run blocking... seldom gets to 2nd level and never cuts off pursuit on his feet... he dives at ankles if play is away. I get no sense of ZBS promise. His stance, which he pops up and out of, is awful, so he doesn't drive block well either. Still have work to do on Wirfs and Jones. My dark-horse OT (RT) is officially Peart.

TexasAg1969 Posted February 27, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2020 Tomorrow I record the OL. Weakest link in our chain and hopefully our first two draft picks. Sat. DL & LB where we need depth and maybe a starter or two if we pick well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gumby73 Posted February 28, 2020 Report Share Posted February 28, 2020 Condensing my man crib notes from a late night 😴 (if there's a football god? 🙏 get this off your prime time hour events, amen) 1) Am a TE guy. I get those guys off my chest first. and I get why that group was chosen 'The Warm-up band'..... It's not a great TE draft class.... 2) But lets squeeze some Lemons🍋 Mitchell Wilcox...If by chance you now record this prime tv event? Wilcox blew at every "on the field drill' known to man tights since 2 decades of my TE combine viewing.. good leg explosion drills in high jump & broad, but Take a Firm 'PASS' 3) I wanted to get Hyped on tThad Moss train..but that got derailed till his pro day.(maybe?). which just lost steam, to a broken wrist..6-8 weeks & if only we had a 5th rd.pick. 4) Kmet & TE-Oh(kwuegbunam) can't be a draft need till we maybe hit rounds 6 or 7 imo..they will be gone..TE Oh, can fly at great TE size, but why no on field drills? can he block? don't know, i don't tape work guys going that high pending our needs.. 5) We hired a coach that has ties to Jared Pinkney* at Vandy..His drills showed his bubble butt, awkwardly* throws him out of balance on his routes..His tape matches, but he looks like a willing blocker, that i may run some other gametape on.. overall Jared seems very average at best.. 6) So in ending, i got what i needed to see out of the Combine drills..Now to mix in some tape & combine number crunching still left.. My serious TE man Crush list found some newbie's a) LSU - Steven Sullivan & Wash-Bryant Hunter--Both had silky smooth combine..both should add some nfl adult bulk to block.. b) Dayton's Adam Trautman & Cinn. Josiah Deguara--Both carry the TE bulk that above don't have..might be a tick slower, but have the raw physical traits of a Zach Ertz or a Todd Heap.. once the combine dust settles? Let's see whom may fall to rounds 6 or 7.. and does drafting any TE, really improve the 4 horseman group? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a decent late round consolation prize, but needs a lot of work if he's to become an in-line contributor. Which is why I like Adam "I'd rather make a key block than catch a TD" Trautman...

TexasAg1969 Posted March 2, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2020 The new mock drafts coming out after the combine should prove very interesting for the first 3 rounds. Some really improved and some really hurt their draft positions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasAg1969 Posted March 2, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2020 I came across this interesting comment in senior draft analyst Charlie Campbell's mock draft pick for walterfootball: 10. Cleveland Browns: Mekhi Becton, OT, Louisville Cleveland owner Jimmy Haslam enjoyed going 1-31 so much that he brought back Andrew Berry to help reproduce that magic with holdover fraud Paul Depodesta. Thus, Cleveland will shy away from drafting good football players like Denzel Ward or Nick Chubb in favor of prospects who score well in analytics. Fortunately for their fans, the Browns may not be able to screw up their first-round pick if they draft one of the top three offensive tackles, as Andrew Thomas, Mekhi Becton and Jedrick Wills are all safe picks to be good pros.
