Draft Rumors

Is Becton being overweight some smoke?

He weighed in with little body fat %, and there's more smoke about him being over weight simply because he loves to cook. I mean, I ate a cheeseburger for lunch, and I'm skinny. Does that mean Cheese Burgers make you skinny?

Remember when people freaked out wanting Andre Dillard

 

Eagles already have him on.the trading block

Bit of sad news just reported. Apparently ESPN draft guy Todd McShay has the virus.

He was set to be part of their Draft broadcast but obviously won't be on the show now.

Yep, that's what folks get for buying into athleticism over production.  I was guilty of it too. Dillard has super fluid movement for a LT, but his tape was average.  Glossing over game tape in favor of post season workout numbers is dangerous.  Going against my better judgement, I bit on a need in a weak class and individual workouts over college production.

Dillard still may work out, but he's a bigger project than advertised.

I had been wondering about him, hadn't seen him on ESPN for couple weeks

Which is why Brown is a no doubt run to the podium pick. I'm not looking for him to be in a relay race. I want him mauling folks in a phone booth

This draft about to be weird tonight

About the Lions pick

About this--on NFL Network today, they reported that Bob Quinn, Lions GM, has never moved up or down in the first round in his 5 years---they added that he would not make the deal when "on the clock." so if this deal is not official before the Lions are up, it could reduce the likelihood of a deal going down at that time.

WOAH!

 

Hmm hearing Herbert to Miami aint smoke

The reason, "but his 3-cone!" crowd is going to kicking themselves if he ends up dominating for another team.  You don't take a big, stinky dump on 3 solid years worth of production in the SEC because he flopped in one drill at the combine.

Yep. You and I were saying how much we didn’t like him. We also said we didn’t like Little and that didn’t help us.

3-cone for C/G/DT is definitely not a useful drill. How often is a DT planting a foot and cutting back? Even a DE doesn’t do that on pass rushing. It’s not playground rules where there’s no one around and Brown is going to school a G NBA style and dribble by him untouched.

I’ll be fine if he gets tackled on a tipped INT because he can’t juke someone for a TD.

If the Chargers pass on Tua he will drop...if he gets past the Jags could drop in NE range.  

[LinvilleGorge]

Tua is definitely the biggest wildcard in this draft. He could go #3 overall or he could fall into the latter half of the 1st round and neither would surprise me. Injury concerns are always a big wildcard and they're greatly compounded in this year's draft.
