Combine Chatter Thread

[Floatyworm]

I think Hargreaves performed better then Ramsey with ball drills. Watch Ramsey on deep balls, he looks back too late and he puts himself in a bad location. Hargreaves has better hands and more fluid.

And I was a big Ramsey fan at #4. Rather trade back and get Hargreaves.

I want neither....Might be the most over hyped DBs in the history of the combine. Hargreaves looks like a 4.5 CB just asking to be the next Tye Hill - 2006 - 15th to St. Louis

Speed might kill, but only if it's used properly. CB Tye Hill is a perfect example of this. At the 2006 NFL Combine, the former Clemson Tiger ran a blistering 4.31 forty-yard dash - the fastest in his draft class. Hill's stock climbed drastically over the next few weeks prior to the Draft, and eventually, the St. Louis Rams made him the 15th overall pick. What the Rams didn't know, somehow, was that Hill had an tendency to get injured.

Following a decent rookie campaign in which Hill started 10 of 16 games and recorded three interceptions, injuries soon got the best of him. He was placed on the injured reserve list during the 2007 and 2008 seasons, appearing in only 12 games in that span. His knee was so torn-up that the Rams released him after his third NFL season, signaling a premature end to his career. Hill tried to make a comeback with the Atlanta Falcons and Detroit Lions, but both attempts failed miserably. Hill was out of the NFL by 2010, and still is to this day. Pro Bowl cornerbacks Antonio Cromartie and Jonathan Joseph were both selected after Hill in the first round. Oops.

yeah im sure you said Russell Wilson would be a franchise qb, right?

Wilson was a much better passer and he was accurate. I could see some potential in Wilson. Dak is no Russell Wilson .

These guys must be sharing a crack pipe. I like Elliot, but you can get a quality RB in the 3rd or 4th round. Take you franchise QB at #4, assuming the scouts give you the thumbs up.

At #34, there will be a DT with a 1st round grade that will drop. Take him.

Wouldn't surprise me to see this front office do that.

Then proceed to have him backup McFadden and get 3 touches per game because "ya can't just throw dem rooks into the primelight! Dey gots ta earn dat star!"

I need to start packing up fragile things in my home.

 

[StarHead69]

Depends on what we do w/ the next 2 4th rounders....We gotta get some DTs in here.

Maybe Ridgeway in the 4th?

It's real simple. Draft Wentz and all of your wildest dreams come true. Don't draft him and you'll never win again. The football Gods will see to it.

That's what's on the line here.

Elliott at 4 would have me wondering if I need to give up and find another sport or team to invest in.

OK, just a few thoughts I've been mulling over for the last day or so - tell me what you guys think. We all realistically know that the combine is to be added to what they tape has shown for players. Not all of us have access or time to look at film, really scout players, or even know what we are really looking at. Which is why we come hear ...
A couple of guys who stood out to me, and the day I was totally focused on was Sunday. I thought Kenny Clark was better then the wrap he has been getting, way more fluid for a big man. Same to a lesser degree with Matt Ioannides. Butler still my pet cat, did not look so good but game tape would still make me use #34 on him. Wasn't even looking at LBers, but who really stood out to me was Joshua Perry, as an OLB. Another player that was off the radar was Charles Tapper as a mid-round DE. The corner I saw was Apple. If we had to skip a position this year, maybe WR can wait. But the Sheppard kid looked really good. No TE's, depending on FA for a lot of other positions as well. Pretty scattershot, but just some thoughts ....

I'll give you my top 10 who killed it......

Darron Lee LB Ohio St.
William Jackson III CB Houston
Andrew Billings NT Baylor (wasn't that big of a fan to begin w/)
Joe Dahl G/T Wash. St.
Malcolm Mitchell WR Georgia
Emmanuel Ogbah RDE Oklahoma St.
Tyvis Powell SS Ohio St.
Bronson Kaufusi DE BYU
Artie Burns CB Miami
Cyrus Jones CB Alabama

My top 10 that should have stayed in bed....(expected to see more)

Hunter Henry TE Arkansas
Braxton Miller WR Ohio St.
Darian Thompson FS Boise St.
Duke Williams WR Auburn
Bralon Addison WR Oregon
De’Runnya Wilson WR Mississippi St.
Kyler Fackrell OLB Utah St.
Austin Johnson DT Penn St.
Eric Striker LB Oklahoma
Ronald Blair DE Appalachian St.

SO true about Braxton Miller. Kid is barely average as a WR. Miller, Bosa and Jones of OSU are all incredibly overrated. However.....Darron Lee is a stud.

Maybe Ridgeway in the 4th?

Not a big fan..too stiff

The last few first round rookies from the Cowboys have gotten plenty of playing time.

Rigid Ridgeway

Try the veal

 

[Risen Star]

Frank Coyle turned me on to North. Interesting later round guy who hasn't played much.

 

[CATCH17]

Exactly what I've been saying.


Chargers will probably go Ramsey now.


The first 3 picks of the draft are going to be awful im afraid.

1. Tunsil

2. Wentz

3. Ramsey


That is the worst case scenario and most likely I think.


I hope we can get out of that pick for someone that really wants Goff and we still get Bosa in a trade down, Lawson, or Elliot as a worst case scenario. I'm not high on Elliot but everyone else seems to be so i'll go with the consensus and just take it as i'm missing something.
