I found it puzzling that a lot of the guys he picked didn't do the 3 cone drill. Did that happen a lot this year and if so, why do you think players avoided this drill?Apologies PTP is 99% done. 1000% putting it out later just putting finishing touches on it. Pain in the ass looking up arm length and shuttles and this prospect isn't listed on this sheet or site. Work. Life.
Same process. I'll looked for athletic tendencies out of the "names" for a good rough list. It's small. And place the prospects where i see their value at. Basically guys we've drafted multiple times (Spikes, Bentley, Strange, Thuney etc) It's not "my list" I'm just looking at what we've liked athletically and using my judgment off of what ive seen during Bill's time here.
Some guys didn't test or didn't test in all drills. So some names will be left off. I'm planning on changing it three times. Next week after more dust settles from FA. Another week or two and literally right before the draft.
Sorry it'll be out in a few hours.
Most haven't done the 3C in recent years bc it's the last drill at the combine. Leaving guys exhausted for an important drill. Not ideal they could do a lot better in terms of scheduling. In some cases kids are there for days no reason for this delay.Quick question, B. In Morse's mock draft, he mentions combine numbers.

Less reliable but pro days are where you'll get most of the info nowadays or personal workouts. Prospects still take the combine very seriously but treat it more as a networking event - like the NFL does. As opposed to a true showcase.Most haven't done the 3C in recent years bc it's the last drill at the combine. Leaving guys exhausted for an important drill.

I hear ya Ken. My counter would be this and your post speaks to it a bit.Thanks for the info
My first reaction is "How SOFT are they" You'd think there would be plenty of time between reps, given how many guys there are between their first and 2nd runs. How exhausted can you get standing around waiting your turn. The 2nd one is, IMO the 3-cone is a critical drill in the evaluation of the athlete, far more important than the 40. I would think the TEAMS, the guys paying for this opportunity would demand players do it. I know you can't "demand" them to do anything. But if I were there, it would affect my evaluation of a healthy player who didn't do it;
Jeudy is a freak. He's a bit high cut so I get why he wouldn't want to run it but he's an absolute freak with violent stops and starts. Jules. Dead legs. He can make you miss but he's too good to keep inside. He can win outside as well. Id think long and hard about 14. Definitely 46.But perhaps I'm being too old school. But I looked for the info on Jerry Jeudy's 3 cone time when all the trade talk started. He didn't do the 3-cone at the combine OR his pro-day. Makes me wonder if he HAS the quickness to be the slot guy we need.
that's quite an endorsement, B. why do you think his first 2 years have been disappointing enough that the Broncos are even contemplating trading him, and would you do it for a 3rdJeudy is a freak.

1. Denver had big time qb struggles in the last 3 years imo.that's quite an endorsement, B. why do you think his first 2 years have been disappointing enough that the Broncos are even contemplating trading him, and would you do it for a 3rd
Denver was arguably the worst run offense in the league last year. Completely predictable but dysfunctional from a scheme pov and Wilson was just garbage. There was a disconnect all year between him and the OL. Something you could see coming from his Seattle days and it came to a head at the end of year with him beefing with his OL multiple times on the sidelines.that's quite an endorsement, B. why do you think his first 2 years have been disappointing enough that the Broncos are even contemplating trading him, and would you do it for a 3rd
No Addison? I am sure you covered this already if you want to just send the link.Not sure where the JuJu signing puts us as far as WR goes in the draft but you can see why teams are calling for Higgins, Jeudy, Hop etc. Especially for outside guys. It's not the greatest class. For WR or the overall class.
