So, let's analyze this.

1. We don't know if they were warming up. 

2. Wet outside 

3. Haven't seen same routes at same time from other WRs in the same drill. 

Conclusions: 

1. Negative Perception of KB: Out of shape and looks slow 

2. Positive Perception of KB: Come on he wasn't going full speed! Let's not pick out a snippet of a drill that we don't know the context. 

3. In the middle: Who am I kidding? Most people fall in the 1st or 2nd group.

Didn't look like he was running at full speed, just a jog/warmup.

I'm critical of the guy but I'm not about to get butthurt about this one route. 

To me it's not the speed, it's how labored it looks and even at mid-speed he should be working on precise route running.

Fair. I'm just not ready to grab my pitchfork from one route on the first day of OTAs. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. 

I did that last year. Then he pulled a hammy due to being overweight. 

I'm not so quick to defend this year.

Just now, Mr. Scot said:

OTA practices this early are not necessarily full speed, all go on every drill.

True. But they aren't typically that slow either. He does look slower even for practice routes. I can't really deny that as much as I would love to.

      Trade options

      That's what I meant when I said would rather have that kind of player on a rookie deal. Vs a guy coming off of it is what I didn't say. Again, if the team wasn't in such need of meaningful talent then overpaying a little for an older blocking TE the coach could trust wouldn't be unusual. Giving up more than 1 pick is just dumb given the situation for us tho and there is still repairing what that last cap guy did before they can hit normal opperating IMO. Spending money like the peak Saints with so little talent was not a good combo.

      We need 2 tes if we don't resign tremble.  And Mayer is a several year vet so it's not like we'd have 3 rookies in the te room.  Just spitballin here

      I’ve been holding out on this because I knew I would just be called a homer. I’m sure some will still say I am and that we shouldn’t care about the underwear Olympics without seeing the tape. That being said…. this guy is an absolute freak. 6’3 220, 43” vertical, and 4.38 unofficial 40. And I can tell you I am not surprised in the slightest by following him since he was an under recruited high schooler putting up 232 tackles, 4 sacks, and 8 forced fumbles his senior year of high school (ONE YEAR!). He developed into the leader on the defense and was always the one making clutch plays.  He is going to be the Luke Kuechly for a defense at safety for a decade. I expect some team will draft him top 15, maybe even top 10. I go back and forth on whether you use a top 10 pick on a safety but at the end of the day, I think you pick a superstar no matter what position. I would prefer us get a top pass rusher or maybe even WR but I would be thrilled to land Nick E if we don’t get one of those guys. Would much rather have him over a guy like Jaylon Walker who is super intriguing but doesn’t have the production to back it up.
