He could be the target

The huddle thinks Ross is a second round pick? The delusion is strong in here

and how often do you run 40 yards in a straight line in football anyway?

Shula seems to think it's appropriate on every third and short.

If he can stay healthy that's a gamechanger for our offense. I'd keep ginn as well.

Zero chance Ross falls to round 2 unless he bombs medicals.

I would bet that he is an option for us at 8.  He is an insanely explosive athlete.  His route running is a plus for a college WR.  He is exactly what this offense desperately needs - speed, athleticism, suddenness.  He even shows up in the red zone.

Don't mischaracterize him as a workout warrior.  The film shows he is a top 3 receiver in this class.  He's not my first choice at 8, but he would be a nice consolation prize.  The medical history is the only downside.  Glad to see the Panthers are going to do their homework on him.

Pure delusion lmao! We would be wise to select this dude at #8. Can't coach speed and we desperately need that.

Pretty much this

4.22 isn't anything special, i'm not even an athlete and i can run 40 yards in 3 and a half minutes

Didn't Byrd run a 4.28 on GRASS at his Pro-day? Grass times are usually slower than turf times. Not to mention he had a higher vert despite being 2 inches shorter. He was only 2 inches off of matching Ross in his broad jump.

Only difference between Byrd and possibly Ross is that the Panthers would feel obligated to play Ross since they used a pick on him.

Really wish he didn't have those knee issues. I'd have no problem with him at #8 if he didn't. 

The ACLs are a big concern, but the microfracture surgery is a huge concern. The track record of athletes coming off of that particular surgery is pretty awful.

Well, that and the fact that Ross is good at football while Byrd isn't. Ross just had an 1150 yard season. Byrd's best season in college was 575 yards and he did that as a junior. He barely broke 300 yards as a senior. Byrd is the perfect example of a workout warrior. Great athlete, just not very good at football.

I'd only risk a 3rd for him. Those knee injuries are scary. The dude hurt himself running his 40. I'd have no problem taking him at some point though.
