The draft

[BlueThunder]

That is pick #32 in Round one.....I don't think he'll fall that far tho

I think the computer had him available in that slot tho

So I am getting into discussions here at work about DK Metcalf's combine numbers. Freakish fast in a straight line, great jumping ability, crazy strong. Terrible in the 3 cone and the shuttle. Like worse than Brady. College highlights here:


My thought is that is that the one highlight at the 2min mark shows you that he's got great burst out of his stance, terrible or lazy feet on the break, and then great speed down the sidelines. He's great at go routes and fade/jump balls in the end zone. But put him in jam coverage, make him move his feet, and put a safety over the top and he's done, IMO. So, are his weak areas coach-able? Can you fix it, or can he, with a lot of work? Looks to me like a one trick pony. There's lots of fast, strong guys in the NFL. But can this kid run a route?

Some GM will get enamored with the combine and take him high in round 1. But I think you can't overlook his glaring weaknesses. Thoughts? A steal in round 2, but a big risk at the top of round 1.

BB bad omen. Look at his 3 cone.

The draft network mock draft tool is a lot better than fanspeak imo. Obviously still some unrealistic mocks though.

Slightly OT, but figured this was a good place to share this incredible quote by Kyler Murray’s agent about Charlie Casserly, who criticized Murray’s lack of leadership and “interview prep”:

The bottom line here is that it calls into question the motives of a man to get on national television and cite anonymous sources on things such as ‘leadership’ and ‘study habits’ about somebody he’s never met,” Burkhardt said. “Look, If you don’t like Kyler’s game, it’s cool. If you don’t like his size and want to talk about that, that’s fine, too. If you’re into a Heath Shuler-type looking guy, then hype those guys and say why. But when you slander the character and work ethic of a young man who’s worked his ass off his entire life and done everything right to put himself in his current position, you’d better cite your sources and come with a better record than 18-46 as a G.M. of the Texans, and whose own leadership and accountability has been questioned by his old bosses and colleagues, as well as the greatest coach on the planet.”

(Of course people around here remember fondly the incident he’s referring to in the last sentence)

I don't quite follow you, but if the kid is there in 2 or 3, i would take him all day. I just dunno about top 10.

Don't sleep on Danny - I hear he's been seen walking the hallways with a pizza box looking for Krafty.

Maybe he should ditch the pizza and pick up some massage lotion.

Speaking of Casserly...

Casserly needs to restrict himself to getting his clients ready for their interview at the combines.

 

[borisman]

I hope Bill will feel the same and not trade out unless jumping a round.
Amazingly, there are 5 other teams that have 6 picks between 2nd and 5th. The Giants shouldn't really count. No 3rd rounder and 4 picks in the 5th. Oh the wonders of the comp picks.

I was just reading a MMQB mock draft and a 3rd different writer plus Kay Adams had the Pats trading #32 for Josh Rosen. IMO Rosen can be had for a 2nd or 2 threes.

Kay Adams is an idiot. She has zero front office or scouting experience. How does she get a TV show?

This will not happen, but this would be a perfect draft!

 

[BlueThunder]

Having one of the 2 top TE's fall to 32 would be awesome.......but BB has ammo to move up if he needs to......draft day will be exciting for Pats fans with the plethora of picks they have, especially in first 3 or 4 rounds....

How does she get a TV show? Really? It's not to hard to figure out.

She did the Quick Slants show with Tommy Curran for a couple of years. She's not completely clueless. Plus, she's a cutie. No denying that part.
