i would think so because you never know how the draft will turn out and someone who was thought to be "out of range" for you could be sitting there, it'd be nice to have actually scouted him...

isn't that kinda what happened with Star? most thought he'd be out of range and we "wished upon a falling star"

In order for any scout, or anyone else for that matter to truly evaluate the talent of a particular player, one must see them in person. If he visits with the alleged "best" WR in the draft, he an then see the dropoff of each player after that. If he sees these things with his own two eyes, then he doesn't need to rely in anyone else's word, and can also judge the disparity between "the best" WR and a middle round "flyer".

I love Proehl in general. Phenomenal player, fantastic human being, and probably an even better talent evaluator/coach at the WR position that there is. We are blessed to have him.

Yeah echoing what others have said, never know how the draft will shake out. Guys are drafted higher or lower than their projections all the time, and something like Star's heart condition can cause certain teams to back off a top talent while others will pounce.

 

If a guy like Parker slides anywhere close to the 20s, always the (not likely) potential of a trade up as well. Especially when we can essentially bank on having an extra 3rd rounder in 2016 for Hardy. Again, not saying we'd trade up because it's not GMan's style...but say for shits and gigs a top WR like Parker slides to the 20ish range...it would cost a 4th or so to jump up and grab him. Not saying it's likely before I get flamed, but the team is just doing their due diligence for any possible situation.

      a tip of the cap to the Special Juan

      I used to think Juan was a Zod alt. Agree he's a great poster.

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      By frankw · Posted

      Hawks said nah we good and sent him to the shadow realm aka the Wizards. Cold blooded. I mean they're 2-2 in a series with a young up and coming Knicks team largely through 34 year old CJ McCollum. Even if they ultimately lose the series at least they are there and have something to build on. I think Hornets fans are just beaten down and lack the objectivity to assess the situation. They think we are going to get so much worse if and when we finally change gears. Worse how? We've already been a lottery team for years now. We've already been looking to win our first playoff series in about a quarter century. We already can't get past the play in and in failing to do so we have completely embarrassed ourselves twice looking like we don't even belong. Honestly there is absolutely no excuse for a team like the Magic to be more competitive and successful than us in the playoffs. Absolutely disgusting. But that's just me. I was fuging lit when we got the Hornets back in Charlotte but that is old old news. It's time for these boys to get into a playoff series. Enough is enough. If they can't do it for 2026-27 then they need to make wholesale changes regardless.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      Not one single pick that is asking me why we drafted a guy in the first place. It was a guy we needed and/or a guy that had certain traits making them stand out. Best of all, I feel everyone we drafted are capable of stepping onto the field this year and have a meaningful role (even Kuwatch on special teams). Obviously, nothing is guaranteed but I'm not seeing any huge flags on guys because they're risky projects or massive overreaches.
