2021 NFL DRAFT (NEP visits & Pro days)

Some of these #'s are crazy. OL thread
 


What happened with Paris Ford?


EDIT: Never mind; I just saw this now:

Pitt DB Paris Ford ran consecutive 40-yard dash times of 4.83 and 4.90 at his pro day workout on Wednesday.​

Ford's (6'0/197) 4.83 would have rated as the slowest of any safety who participated in the 2020 NFL Scouting Combine, which is not a great sign for his draft stock. His 28.5" vertical jump did nothing to improve the perception that he is a below average athlete, neither did his 4.53 shuttle run. It's a disappointing showing from a two-time All-ACC honoree that was hoping to solidify himself as a Day 2 draft selection.

What an unmitigated disaster...He's a UDFA guy for me now; I had considered looking for him with our 6th-rounder as an appeasement to those clamoring to draft a Safety Now for the future, when they're Always Plenty of 6'/200-lb dudes in Every draft to plug n play...

Can I interest you in this guy late?

 
he was not on my draft board before today and will not be going forward.

Why not? Short statements don't tell us much. He had some decent interceptions and forced fumbles in his career. The "highlight" video starts off with a bunch of tackles to prevent 3rd down conversions, then moves to the juicy plays. I hope you're not basing your opinion on a few plays. I like his range and athleticism. Looks good for a 7th round special teams guy who could develop into a rotational safety.

I have no 4.8 defensive backs on my board.
 
The concussions scare me. Otherwise, Phillips looks perfect for this defense.
BB attending their pro Day today. I hope for phillips
 
Those 40 times seem fast. I don't know if Collins is quite that quick. And Paye! Whew!

Both guys would look good here.

Mayfield 40 time and arm length don't look great imo. Paye at 260 as expected from rumours him dropping weight. Athletic af. I think Paye would be good and i don't think he will be there after a trade down.

Didn't someone earlier post a tweet showing Paye running the 3-cone? If so, then why isn't his time in it shown in this link?

He ran a 3-cone last year, not at his pro day. It was theoretically under 6.4 seconds, which is all-time record territory (so take it with a grain of salt). Nonetheless, his quickness shows up on tape. He's the best run defender at DE this year that I've seen so far. His pass rush is a work in progress, but it looks like he's just never had someone teach him technique or something, so he's winning purely on athleticism currently. I really like him for our defense.
