Maybe Kaep knows that Chip Kelly is an idiot.

An idiot with a better winning percentage than Ginger. Now as a GM he is more in Jerry's league.

Love of god. I watched H-Burg a ton at PSU. When O'Brien was there he looked GOOD. Really good as a matter of fact. When James (the Clown) Franklin showed up, he digressed immensely right along with their Oline. He might have PTSD he was hit so much the last two years. Took a savage beating and his confidence and mentality to play the game have been broken IMHO. Damn shame really. Pretty talented kid. He did NOT look good yesterday btw...inaccuracy is a continual issue.

I think he might still be o.k. long term, but he NEEDS TO SIT for a couple of years. O'Brien drafting him and playing him by week 6 is the worst case scenario for him imo.

As Mayock just said, it isn't just falling out of hotel window stoned and/or drunk. It's the fact he took a lot of plays off at OleMiss. When confronted with that this week by NFL teams during interviews he just flat admitted it. No excuses or rationale....according to the NFL.Com guys he admitted it. He'd be off my board at that point. He can NOT be trusted. Which is the same thing I said last year about Randy Gregory.

Agree big time....10 yard split is here it's at. The 40 yard dash for a Dlineman is worthless.

Ogbah 1.59
Ansah 1.56

Lots of physical similarities also. Not saying he'll be as good, but I'm going to be re-watching his tape later.

I'm about 90% confident that Tunsil goes #1, Wentz #2. SD isn't quite as clear, but my early guess is Bosa.

Isn't Bosa an odd fit there? He's not an OLB and is he a 3-4 end?

NO doubt man. He's shell shocked and beat up. If someone takes him in the 4th-5th round as a developmental guy, it might work out for them. His measurables are similar to Kirk Cousins. I watched Kirk play every single game in college....most of of them in person. He had accuracy troubles too but wasn't hit HALF as much as H-burg was. I'm not saying H-burg can be as good as KC but the potential is there. Nice 4th round pick but no higher IMO.

Wont be a Cowboy but I wish was.

If we don't go DL in round two, my bet is Henry.

Of course, it will end up being Hunter Henry and I'll just turn my TV off and go for a long, long walk.

He's not big enough to be a 3-4 end as those guys are typically DT size. He's a 4-3 end to me as you could put him at LB in a 3-4, but I'm not sure that makes the best use of his skill.

Did Risen explain his whole Rodgers for a #2 and future #1 comment?

I think the DL class is so deep they will wait till round 3. My bet is they take the top ranked skill guy at 34. Henry, Doctson or the other Henry.

So why would San Diego take him? They'd be better off taking Stanley or Ramsey before taking Bosa and then playing him at a position that he might not be a good fit for.

I have always liked Spence, not sure we risk it after the Gregory fiasco.

Caveat, unless Nkemdiche is there. Moth meet flame.

 

[Hoofbite]

Lineman runnin the 40 has his old frank and beans drop out of his shorts. Bellyflops to cover it up.

"How'd ya get the beans above the frank"

Haha.

It is bad data. Players are in it that are not in this draft.

It is not bad data, all data is relevant. Wisdom of crowds is a concept I keep harping on but each year we discount. I work with large databases and analytics. Hard to grasp with just one dataset just like you Alexander one response does not define you.
