If it wasn't for turnovers Colorado would be getting absolutely crushed.

It 100% was, he ran a 3.97 at his pro day.

In reference to pass uses of shuttle times. This article details how Edelman’s shuttle got him drafted in the first place. A guy who was completely off the radar in college got drafted simply because of his elite shuttle time. Ladd’s definitely played a role in his draft stock boost.

You love bringing up guys after the fact that did such and such. Tell us tonight who will be a stat guy after next draft.  Don’t show up next time this year talking about some stud you loved.

I see Ward at #1 but Sanders falls

With Watson restructuring in Cleveland, only the Titans stand between Sanders and the Raiders if the pecking order stays the same.

I don’t put anything past the Raiders but I can see Sanders dropping.  He ain’t it

Miami HC addressing how they came to Cam Ward not playing in the 2nd half….”I’ll prefer not to answer that question as it relates to that”…..

so let’s at least put to bed that the coaches just had to see what their backup QB had in him in the midst of a shootout.  Because that’s an easy answer for a coach.   But he couldn’t say it.    Cam got his and took himself out.

The Miami coach is a douche bag so there is that

There’s the obvious guys like Hunter and T-Mac who everyone likes. They are safe picks. I’m not exactly sure how safe Hunter is though because I feel like he’ll be a DB. T-Mac, he reminds me of Michael Pittman. Just a safe WR who catches the ball when it’s thrown to him.

Under the radar picks? Emeka Egbuka. If you want to go deeper than that, Tez Johnson. If you want a favorite player in the draft, Tyler Warren.

Warren is a great call out love that guy.  Tez is small but explosive, good call.  Not a huge Egbuka fan but fine.  Nice picks regardless.  Bravo man.

I will say we are 100% in agreement with Hunter. I’m still not even sure he’s a WR. You mentioned the size. It screams CB but maybe that’s just me.

Additionally, saying a receiver is or isn’t good because of their QB play is such a lazy argument. McConkey is elite at creating separation. Just a few weeks ago PFF had him as their leader in created separation for the week.

Does he have prior injury concerns, sure. But there’s a difference between drafting a wide receiver with an injury history verses signing a wide receiver with an injury history. The main difference being the money.

It helped but he was already climbing. He was the guy I wanted and I remember coming down the stretch I didn't think he'd be there. Then he was and we picked the guy I absolutely didn't want. You don't pick raw older guys who never did anything until their super senior year high in the draft. It's just a huge red flag. Different story if he was a 20 year old RS sophomore.
