2018 Draft Chatter

[TheCoolFan]

I thought Gurley was the best RB prospect from the last 3 years but it's looking like Barkley now!

 

[cowboyec]

It screams utter lazy entitled attitude to me....

he had a horrendous combine.
but he didnt miss a game the last 3 seasons and was voted Big XII Off Lineman of the Year the last 2 seasons....its not like the kid is chump change.

 

[cowboyec]

Quite possibly the worst workout ever recorded at the Combine.

so it'll be either the most attended pro day or the most ignored...wow.

Has to be a big red flag, unless he's got a medical excuse. This was the biggest interview of his life. That he failed to prepare himself to do his best is mind boggling.

14 bench press and he's what 345, he obviously has one of the worst work ethics ever.

 

[BigWillie]

Brown looked as if he needed a training bra because his moobs were all over the place. Must be allergic to the weight room.

 

[jay94]

Yes, it should literally take a few months to be able to lift that many times at that size.

Saquon Barkley just doing Saquon Barkley stuff. 4.40 40, 41" vertical, benched his body weight 28 times. He said he's not going to do the 3 cone, but he'll do the 20 yard shuttle, and it's going to be freaky.

Remember starting a thread a few weeks ago about the Browns using the first pick on a non-quarterback position. The thinking was, take the best non-player off the table and get your quarterback 2 picks later at 4. Many disagreed but I still think its smart. Other words, take Barkley or Chubb with the 1st and you still have a choice of at least 3 of top QBs at 4th ( maybe 4 if Giants pass on one ).

far as I know there isnt a medical issue.
no off field issues either.
3yr starter never missed a game.
3yrs all-big XII...2x off lineman of the year.

very disappointing no doubt.
but the saving grace for him is his gametape and 3yr history at Ou.
Id still draft him over connor williams.

Also according to Mayfield, never gave up a sack......

horrible combine...no question.
the guy can play tho.
Id take him.

How can he prepare himself is less than two months, outside of the what he's been doing the last three years? Remember, as a poster just posted, his game tapes/production is impressive. My point is it's highly unlikely he could much to change any his combine numbers in less than two months.

Take him where?

Maybe he is just a fat lazy kid that has coasted for a while.

His father played in the league and was not exactly a sharp tool either.

 

[RodeoJake]

Take him where?

I wouldn't use a day 1 pick on him.

 

[Alexander]

I wouldn't use a day 1 pick on him.

I would not value him as a top 50 player either.

So that means what, third round?

Maybe. If he's not athletic and/or strong, how's he gonna do against dlinemen that are?

Wait until he has an OL coach riding him. He did not exactly respond all that well when getting yelled at in drills today either.

 

[cowboyec]

Take him where?

3rd Rd.
or before connor williams.

A guy that size, could easily improve his bench reps by 6+ in 2 months, but yea in terms of speed, no.
