Total out of left field, but what about Nolen at #8??

He's 21, great build, and tears apart OLmen in the SEC/everwhere.

I swear I like him more than Mason Graham.

He was the #1 overall recruit coming out of HS. 

Owned senior bowl. 

I feel its heavy potential, but hes got the highest ceiling in the draft.

I like him a lot--I also like Grant, Williams, and Harmon.  I have seen various rankings for Nolen and I am confused about the DTs available.  Most of what I have seen has him mid to late round 1--if that is accurate (hardly any of it is), then 8 would be a reach, but from this video, he is everywhere.

Nolen--in my mind which is based on where I get my intel, would be a reach at 8.  However, it all depends on what you are looking for and what you read about them.  I am guessing that our biggest need is the NT, but if we do not select a DT in round 1, TJ Sanders of SC was dominant when i watched the Gamecocks.  He should be there at the end of round 2. 

My sleepers are Omarr Norman-Lott (Tennessee, 3rd round) and Darius Alexander (Toledo, day 3)  I think we need to double dip, so an early DT and a sleeper could work.

      Josh Norris: Panthers-Garrett Wilson trade options

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I've never asked how he's bigger, faster, stronger, I've asked to compare them as players and why you think one is better than the other.  If anyone is ranking any player (not even T-Mac related) higher or lower than someone else solely because of what they ran in the 40, then I don't respect their football analysis, sorry, not when you have years of college game tape to watch their game speed.  And you can't say people don't do that when so many have literally said "need to see his 40 time to know if I'd draft them at X draft position." I don't care about how fast a player runs a 40, I care about how fast they are in a game, if you can't tell how fast they play watching tape, them running a 4.9 vs a 5.2 in their underwear is meaningless. If a player runs a faster than expected 40, wouldn't it be fair to then ask why they don't run that fast in games?  Or if a player runs a slow 40 but runs faster in games, do you really care that their 40 time was slower in comparison? Players all have digital tracking in their pads these days, as I pointed out, T-Mac was clocked at 21.8 MPH at some point during his first 2 years in school, which would have been 8th fastest a player ran in the NFL last year.  Mike Evans fastest tracked time in his career was 20.6 (although I'll openly admit I'm guessing they weren't tracking that earlier in this career, but it's what is out there to go on). And I'm not saying that to say I think T-Mac is a burner and will be one of the faster WRs out there, but it's more than enough proof that he has the necessary speed to succeed in the NFL. How can someone look at those data points (and yes, NFL teams have access to all of that) and then say they need to know their 40 yard time without pads or a game situation to be able to accurately judge how they view that prospect? I'm not against more data points, I just put very little to no weight behind things that are a result of non football stuff.  If two players have the exact same speed, but one spends 3 months perfecting his get out of the blocks before the combine and the other doesn't, then their 40 yard dash is going to be different, but when it comes down to the game, they're going to have the same speed. See what I'm saying?
