More snap judgments:

- Safety Rahim Moore moves like a CB. CB Jimmy Smith moves like a safety.

- Safeties Tyler Sash and and Nate Williams look like the same player. Both look very sound, nicely compact and efficient in their movements, but average size and not really elite athletes. (Hey I just looked them up...they're both listed at exactly 6'0" 211 4.59!)

- Aaron Williams sloppy in some of the drills, looked a little addled. Not confident plucking the ball.

- Buster Skrine may have the best feet of any DB in this draft. He stays very low, keeps his feet churning in a blur.

- Josh Thomas from Buffalo looks like he belongs. Not a standout in any one area, but a balanced, controlled DB who should make a roster.

Interesting. Lefeged pretty much got universally trashed for his Senior Bowl practices, then lost his jock to a double move by Kerley in the game (and was beaten to the endzone).

Off The Grid

OverShare Violation.

15 Yards.

Loss of Down.

The announcers even commented on how Carter was wearing the tightest possible clothing to show off his wares, "with good reason."

Aesthetically pleasing as it may be, that kind of sculpted physique is a negative with me. It makes me think that the player has been tailoring his workout for the mirror, not the football field. The guy's a DB, what is he doing building up pecs bigger than his head?

It also makes them WAY more likely to be injured, fat is something of a cushin, if the guy doesn't have any then the impact from any hit goes right to his muscles.

Bigger muscles also weigh more, making the guy less mobile. While a certain amount of mass is needed there are tradeoffs with getting bigger muscles. Strength, which is much sought after by players, is generally a by-product of neuro-muscular efficiency, which is why some people can be amazingly strong and not that big.

Basically, optimally functional muscle mass is not necessarily picturesque, and picturesque muscle mass is not necessarily optimally functional.

That's a Bingo!

Yep. So let's paint a portrait of Quinton Carter, and draft Jermale Hines.

Deus Irae

Vernon Gholston is going to kick your ass for saying this!
