Orlando Brown is a next level athlete.

Just to go on we discussed. OT Senat looks like he could be a swing tackle in this league. And available later. Thoughts?

 

[Risen Star]

I don't understand why if you tweaked a hamstring you'd choose not to run the 40 but do the drills. How can it possibly be easier on your hamstrings to do these on field drills over the 40?

Probably thought the three cone drill would involve ice cream.

The 40 really stresses your hamstrings. You can do some smaller movements but that continual, extended stress (even though it is literally 4 to 6 seconds) can really agitate it.

I have interest.

As I have said, I'd rather get a starting OG in FA and then find a project OT in the draft.

Versus stopping and starting and changing directions? Heck one of the drills ends with a sprint to the goal line.

the problem is when you go to measure Orlando....he's already been there.

I get what you are saying but over the years I have seen kids sit out the 40 (or sprints) but still be able to participate in the drills, at every level of football.

I think the 40 is also a flat out maximization of muscle and effort, wheeras stop and start drills are more controllable/manageable.

He has bombed this process athletically.

I wish we could see the interview portion. If it's anything like the athletic portion for him, it would be must see TV.

He's an intriguing prospect. With some development, he has a chance. Good athlete with some raw tools.

I knew Brian ONeil was fairly athletic, but he's more explosive than I realized.

Power is the big issue with him.

Sally from HR could probably jump 20" without blinking.

Braden Smith and will Hernandez on the other hand

Smith had all those reps AND had a 33.5 vertical

I'm liking Braden Smith as a second rounder. It's actually what I am hoping for.

 

[phildadon86]

Wow Brandon Parker looking the part. I like his fluidity so far. @xwalker @Risen Star @Sydla what did you guys think. I had him mocked in the early 6th late 5th, but he looks like a 4th now.

Barkley with a 41 inch vertical.
