Not really dumb and not a stetch at all!
I mean he's too small for T.E., and he's too slow for a W.R.!
so H back could be a consideration!

No, it's dumb.

You don't go from playing WR all those years to H-Back. It's like all those people that were saying Jamaal Charles should be a slot receiver in the NFL, what does that mean???

Bowman was a VERY successful WR in a good conference. Does productivity count for nothing anymore.

When you run as SLOW as he is, YES YOU DO!
Since his speed or LACK OF SPEED will make it IMPOSSIBLE to get seperation at the W.R. position.
Jus like some people play C.B. in college but are forced to become safeties in the NFL cause of their SPEED even though they played their WHOLE COLLEGE CAREER as a C.B.!
People change or are projected to different positions in the NFL to what they played in college, ala Stanback and Matt Jones who were Q.B.'s in college but projected to W.R. in the pro's, etc.
So just cause he PLAYED A POSITION all those years in college has nothing to do with what position he's better suited for in the NFL!

I didn't say players don't change positions.

Adarius will be a WR in the NFL, period. Whether he has success there or not is another thing, but he will be drafted to play WR and will play WR on an NFL team.

So if he FAILS at W.R., you don't think it's possible to play him or try him at H-Back?
Cause that's all we're saying!
Then again you're the guy who thinks it's not a bad idea to draft an O.T. with our top pcik #22, so excuse me if I dont' have much faith in ANYTHING you say from here on out!

Who's "we"? You're a friend of Mayock now?

If Ernest Wilford can run a 4.79, have less production that Bowman in college, and still contribute as a WR in the NFL, I think Bowman will manage.

What do I need you to have faith in anything I say for? What team do you run?

You should also learn to read. I have Jeff Otah as a possible 1b pick, meaning 28th pick, he won't last that long and my mock was made before we resigned Flo. Thanks for playing though.

I'm pretty sure you know who former Oklahoma State alumn Rashaun Woods is :).

You let me know when you find that thread.

While you may enjoy getting on everyone's mock and pretending you know everything about every player, I've been known to appreciate people voicing their opinions whether I agree with every pick or not.

Believe it or not, the Cowboy management don't give a crap what you, or any of us, think about who should be drafted and where. Hell, you can't even make one post without including at least one exclamation point, and you want to tell me who to take seriously?

You having Josh Barrett in round 4 in your OWN mock is a JOKE since he'll be LONG GONE by then, and having an O.T. in ANY ROUND of your mock is a JOKE but to actually list an O.T. with our 1B pick to me tells me you have NO CLUE what our team needs and have NO CLUE the direction our team will draft.
I will LITERALLY do ANYTHING you want me to do for a YEAR STr8 if we pick an O.T. in the 1st round of this draft, WHATEVER YOU'D WANT ME TO DO, mow your lawn, do your laundry, paint your house, YOU NAME IT for a YEAR STR8, that's how 100% POSITIVE they will ont even be REMOTELY LOOKING at an O.T. to draft in the ENTIRE DRAFT let alone round 1, and to even THINK they could possibly be thinking of taking an O.T. in round 1 tells me just hwo CLUELESS you are!
I'm done with you, I will no longer respond to you, you're a waste of my time and are completely clueless!
Josh Barrett in round 4! LOL
Sure, all safeties with his size that run 4.33 last till the end of round 4. :lmao:

You're like a cartoon character, holy cow.

I'm not sure what you don't understand about "Post-Combine, Pre-Free Agency". Reading your posts literally makes my head hurt.

What's it going to be then, eh?

Shannon Sharpe really struggled with the transition.:rolleyes:

Cause TE = H-Back apparently. And what's worse is that they keep naming one of the best players in NFL history as a reason why Adarius Bowman should change positions.

Like every time a player changes position, they are instantly better.
