Broaddus says he was told by Cowboys that they would not take Hampton at 12

Kaleb Johnson tanked his stock a bit at the Combine but he has great feet and i think he is the 5th best RB behind the OSU guys and i wont be mad if he is the pick at 44 if both of them are gone.

I think the combine has lost a bit, maybe more, of its luster. How many prospects have had not so good combines and turned out to be excellent players? Ignoring for the moment what happened with Brady, it's hardly like if a player isn't drafted in the first round, he'll be at best an average player.

You know players these days train hard for the combine and then run the 40 in shorts and shirt. Last time I looked players wear pads and pants and jerseys and helmets and run on grass or turf fields, not a synthetic track designed for sprinters. And they seldom run in a straight line from a three-point stance, with nobody to run around or through.

What a player did in college is a far better indication of what they might do than a specialized test.

Draft football players, not athletes, and you'll do far better....

Hope Broaddus is right.

Also, you guys clown him a lot--but as a fan, I'm extremely thankful for Broaddus and his insight, attitude, honesty. I think we're lucky to have him, to be honest. He doesn't have to be right all the time, and he isn't, but he's a great guy and does great work for fans.

exactly, everyone isn't as detailed as some of these guys that people hate on, he and Fisher I think these guys are well connected

Was Detroit stupid? I think losing out on the top 4 backs in this draft is stupid. I'd rather have 1 of them on our team instead of the oposition.

Detroit had a loaded roster that allowed them to take a high rb, we have many positions to fill and makes no sense to take one high in a loaded class

Whatever Cavanaugh says btw, usually the opposite is true. Voch is much more knowledgeable than him but still needs some humble pie. Cavanaugh just likes hating and having bizarre takes. Dude has sumthin going on inside his head.

I just can’t forget how they wanted some Northwestern short arm tackle. They cried about that pick until about half way through the season. Then had the nerve to say they thought Parsons was only going to be an off ball linebacker. Then Parsons had 14 tackles against the Vikings playing off ball linebacker and dominated the game. Parsons was dominant at Penn State. What were they watching…… Voch gets obsessed with offensive linemen and this draft season, Cavanaugh seems to be doing the same. They both hate Guyton.

Yip, it's backwards how they rate players. They get too caught up in traits not the dang game tape. Just draft good players no matter position or need, and I can deal with traits and measurables later. Guyton was a really good RT at OU and ok Lt. That's the truth. We ALL knew he waa going to be a ball of clay. He needs time. The hate for him is unhinged. The kid will be fine, even if we gotta move him over to RT later. He's a good player, good kid, works hard.

I remember they did there draft rankings and had like three linebackers ahead of Parsons. Bolton and two guys that are out of the league. Jeff would never admit it but he thought Parsons was a healthy Jalon Smith. I don’t think Jeff thought Jalon was if he didn’t have drop foot. If you don’t shoe anything the first season Cavanagh and Lombardi are done with you. Mazi and Guyton are busts to them. They don’t care. Mingo needs to be cut in there eyes. They sound like our posters.
