The Official NFL Draft Day 3 Thread

I'm glad I was right about not drafting an RB... im sure one will come in UDFA though

on NFL.com someone put this on profile

75 catches, 1060 yards, 11 TDs...and no analysis of this guy?! 4.3 to 4.4 speed. I guess Welker went undrafted also...

If you saw the way LeBron and the Heat played tonight you wouldn't be saying that trust me. The East is a cake walk for them and i wish them well to get a championship, the hate LeBron gets is very undeserved.

Just remember the Celtics got their own big 3 a few years ago and Wade, James and Bosh just followed their blueprint.

I thought this was the Official NFL Draft Day 3 Thread... FWIW LeBron deserves everything he gets.

Edelman hears footsteps now.

Fixed that for you.

Also terrible news about D-Rose, but my game 4 playoff tickets are looking like hotter items from a sixers perspective.

Here is some press

Wide receiver Jeremy Ebert, who was not invited to the combine, worked out as if he should have been. Ebert ran a 4.38-second 40-yard dash, bench pressed 225 pounds 16 times and looked smooth in his route running and receiving.

Jeremy Ebert
New England Patriots
Round 7, Pick 235
SI Grade
2.27
SI Grading System
Position: WR
Class: Sr
School: Northwestern
HT: 5'10"
WT: 206 lbs.
40 Time: 4.38
Biography: Three-year starter awarded all-conference honors the past two seasons. Senior totals included 75 receptions/1060 yards/11 TDs speed after he had 62/953/8 as a junior.

Positives: Speedy, big-play receiver with reliable hands. Quickly releases off the line into pass routes, immediately gets to top speed and easily adjusts to the pass running full tilt. Extends to make the difficult catch. Flies around the field for the ball. Displays terrific concentration and eye/hand coordination. Finds a way to sneak into the open space of the defense and makes himself an available target. Extends his hands and consistently makes the reception away from his frame.

Negatives: Possesses a thin build and will struggle handling jams. Slows into routes and gets very choppy-footed.

Analysis: Ebert is a receiver prospect who?s fallen under the radar, but he has legitimate pass-catching skills and speed for the next level. He's a solid last-day pick who can line up as a fifth receiver during his rookie season.

And not invited to any combine either, but was a hit at his school's pro day.

I'm not sure how I feel about this pick, we like our white receivers smurf sized, at 6ft he's really not quite in the smurf range anymore. I'm not sure he's going to fit in.
