Marvin Harrison Jr. not working out at combine or pro day, not getting an agent

[EST_1986]

We drafted a certain cornerback without interviewing and we paid the price
do a search and you will find the times that happened the teams always regretted it; the few that it did happen
a well run organization does not draft anyone in the first rd; let alone top 5, that they have not interviewed

Nobody is going to regret drafting MHJ

Charles Rogers ring a bell?

He was a consensus top 5 pick and I am betting a lot of people said the same thing about him

An example from over 2 decades ago?!

Hmmm. Ain't the combine supposed to be a player's job interview? I wonder how well that'd go if folks seeking a job applied and told the potential employer, "I ain't gonna interview for your position, but you should hire me anyway."

Not really…players can still meet with teams in a variety of other avenues.

There are plenty others but of course you really cannot admit you were wrong no matter if I pulled up a hundred, right?

The biggest busts are pretty much those that are busts between the ears and the best way to prevent a draft mistake are the interviews.

We can put a $$ wager on MHJ being a bust since youre so convinced he's in that category just because he'd rather focus on football over the underwear olympics

I simply pointed out the stupidity of drafting someone you have not checked out which is what you apparently want to do
I bet you are the kind of person that would buy a new car and never test drive it, right?

didnt you already list the time they've done that? whats going on here

Pretty smart, when you already know you’re going in the top 3, why give away 10% to an agent? Doing the combine or a pro day won’t move him up higher, you could only fall a few spots.

Clearly you forget the CB we grabbed in the first rd that we didn't interview and ended up letting go

Dude is just skipping everything.

seems to be a pattern here....

I am old enough to remember when Duane Thomas refused to speak to the media
but you could do that back then
