Kiper Big Board/Position Rankings 12/16/24

[gtb1943]

You are making things up. Zero truth to what you're saying.

I have LISTENED to him say that on multiple Draft Shows
you really have a hard time with reality

 

[RodeoJake]

Melvin, Melvin, Melvin. He's been breathing in too many fumes from that spray on hair.

 

[TNCowboy]

If watch Chris Jones closely. He takes plays off too.

Not many.

KIPER'S RANKS
Wide receivers
1. Travis Hunter, Colorado
2. Tetairoa McMillan, Arizona
3. Luther Burden III, Missouri
4. Emeka Egbuka, Ohio State
5. Jalen Royals, Utah State
6. Isaiah Bond, Texas
7. Savion Williams, TCU
8. Elic Ayomanor, Stanford
9. Tre Harris, Ole Miss
10. Jaylin Noel, Iowa State

There is no way I'm ranking Luther Burden over Isaiah Bond. Both are 5'11 and around 180 lbs. Bond is much quicker, much faster, more explosive, is a bigger home run threat and has a much higher ypc average (16.1 Bond compared to 11.1 Burden).

Mel Kiper has always been "off".

You really have to look more so at what Bond did the previous season [86-1,212,9 TDs]. The QB play dropped off a bunch this season.

I am happy with either one if we get the chance.

Texas will always have superior QB play to Missouri. But Burden was given a ton more opportunities than Bond as Texas is stacked

Kiper has no real ability to evaluate players himself. He goes off of what teams tell him and they blow smoke up his butt many times.

Bond is very underrated IMO…you can watch every snap from 23 and he looked much better AND the QB still missed a lot of throws.

I keep hearing he needs to work on his tempo in and out of routes but feel like that’s pretty fixable.

I think he’s a way better route runner than Worthy was and is still a 4.3 guy. I like
him more than Worthy.

 

[rambo2]

Not many.

He picks his spots for effort.

 

[stilltheguru]

Kiper is the only one smart enough to put Campbell that high. I can already see people on here crying if we take him round 1 like they cried about Liafau.

is Bond really faster than Burden?. I don't think so but we will see at the combine.

Absolutely, Bond is faster than Burden. Much faster.

Isaiah Bond: 4.28

Luther Burden III: 4.41

I think that works out to a full step faster but not sure

like I said we will see at the combine but you a a complete athlete at WR,just straight line speed doesn't translate well if you are stiff guy.

Bond is shifty, quick and fast.

13. Jalon Walker LB Georgia*
14. Derrick Harmon DT Oregon*
15. Walter Nolen DT Mississippi*

I might take them in a different order personally, but yes to any of the 3 please. They should all fall right in our wheel house come draft day.

I'll agree. I wouldn't pass on Graham or Jeanty if they fell to us, and possibly McMillan, but I'd love it if we had our choice of Harmon and Nolen when we pick. Of course, we'd probably then take a tight end.

 

[Tabascocat]

There is no way Graham or Jeanty will be available. I am hoping for Grant or Walker to be there in which they should be. Grant is a bit heavier than Graham but huge upside. Walker would be used kind of like Overshown I would think. Give me the DT first.

 

[Johannes44]

Milroe as the third rated QB in this draft tells you just how bad it is for QBs this year.

This is certainly not the year to pick a QB. The entire class looks like a bevy of backups.
