I'm excited about a couple Alabama prospects: - Cameron Latu TE - Jordan Battle S Latu has the combination of blocking and athleticism after the catch like a Dallas Goedert. Battle is one of the very few intimidating guys left in secondaries anywhere. Projects similarly to Jamal Adams.

I think Danny Gray has potential (obviously), but he’s too straight line and too limited in route running to be anything more than a 6th/7th round pick. If you were a pure spread team like the Chiefs, you might rank him a little higher. He caught my eye while I was looking for top deep threats...

Gray is extremely fast. We'll see what the combine says, but I think Gray and Skyy Moore are likely the fastest WRs in the class.

I like Dohnovan West at center. One of those bigger bodied centers that can work on an island.

It's extremely hard to have sleepers at CB. Unless they are special scheme fits, they just have to be good, and everyone knows who is good. Relatively speaking. It's also difficult to scout corners, so I am less motivated to dive deep into the list of prospects. My favorite CB is Kaiir Elam...

This is a very rich WR class. You all know some of the big names. Below are my favorites after round 1: Christian Watson Alec Pierce Wandale Robinson Skyy Moore Danny Gray Kyle Phillips Reggie Robinson Jr

I'm a fan of Arnold Ebiketie. One of the fastest outside rushers in the draft. Very productive in college. Demonstrates very good lean and strength, which is somewhat uncommon for these "athletes" on the edge that often only have straightline speed.

I like Zamir White, Ty Chandler, and Rachaad White. Zamir has the very rare combination of homerun speed and size/aggresiveness to pound it inside. Runs angry. Reminds me of a poor man's Adrian Peterson. Ty Chandler and Rachaad White are versatile speed backs that can hit the outside stretch...

Very solid S class, although I don't like the biggest name. I don't like Hamilton or O'Neal. I'm generally not a fan of safeties with limited movement skills and scheme limitations. I like Brisker, Daxton Hill, and Bubba Bolden (partly because I think he goes 4-6th round, where he's more...

Not a strong TE class. My favorite at the moment is Gerrit Prince. He stands out to me as possibly the best receiver at TE in the draft. Good speed and hands. There may be other decent inline blockers out there, but I was strictly looking for receiving talent.

I don't like any of the highly ranked guys. - Pickett has tiny hands, mediocre arm, little mobility - Willis still doesn't know how to pass - Ridder has tools and decent mechanics but lacks accuracy, arm, and may be a mental midget as well. Weird combo because he simultaneously has potential...

edit: whoops, wrong thread

Ok, allow me to adjust my original statement for the past tense. Do you know of any black billionaires who wanted to buy a franchise but were barred from doing so?

In theory, I somewhat agree. The reason this doesn't really work in practice is that coaches are not different in similar ways. It is not a matter of a few simple measurables. The differences are immeasurable and ultimately somewhat orthogonal. For instance, the Giants didn't just like Daboll...

I don't know of any black billionaires interested in buying an NFL franchise. Do you?
