Phillip Dorsett to meet with Panthers

[Fox007]

PD is a top 10 WR in this draft....but we won't pick him in the first as there will be better WRs available at 25.

how fast can he run with pads on?

Good question, how fast can any of these players run in pads?

[gettlemanjack]

in pads / on film he is insanely fast. Based on watching him in pads / on film, everyone knew he would be running insane 40 times. Literally everyone predicted it by watching him in pads alone.

Dorsett is more then a one trick pony. He has also improved his hands over the years.

[LUUUUUKE]

The only concern I have if we take him at all, is Cam throwing it over his head, and even then, I think he and Smitty did more than alright and they're the same size.

meanwhile, with Strong for ex, pretty much everyone I've seen so far agrees he looks slower in pads than his 40 indicates. With Perriman, he's another guy people knew was fast in pads and would put up a great 40, but he only showed flashes of that kind of speed on film, so there are people questioning whether his 40 times were artificially inflated by a track coach, pointing out that his track form was perfect when he ran his 40. With Dorsett, everyone predicted he'd run insane 40 times by watching him in pads alone, so i doubt anyone will be questioning it, but i'll keep my eyes peeled...

as for Smitty, he ran a 4.41 with a 38.5 vertical at the Combine at 5-09/184. No data from his Pro Day

today Dorsett ran a 4.24 (4.33 at Combine) with a 38 vertical (37 at Combine) and was 5-10/185 at Combine

[LUUUUUKE]

If we don't get him at 25, he will be gone in the 2nd. Has meetings or has had meetings with Falcons, Saints, and Dolphins thus far. All of whom pick well before us in the 2nd.

I don't think there's any chance we go RB in the 1st anymore like some have speculated. This kid has elite speed and great ball skills. I think he's the pick at 25. If not, then oh well. I will just have to watch him ball out on another team.

South Florida Sun-Sentinel Omar Kelly @ OmarKelly:

7h

Welcome to UM's Pro Day. 77 degrees in sunny South Florida.

6h

Phillip Dorsett is killing it.

5h

Denzel Perryman, Phillip Dorsett and Clive Wafford all had

dinner with the Saints last night. All three can help right away.

3h

I fully expect Phillip Dorsett to be picked by the Saints or the

Ravens in the first round. And he'll be a star for both teams.

8h

Saints coach Sean Payton is here. Duke Johnson and Phillip

Dorsett fit their offense perfectly. Saints need a TE (Clive

Wafford).

3h

[in response to: "You see Phillip Dorsett as the next Torrey Smith?"]

That's exactly who he is, just not as big.

2h

[in response to: "thought Dorsett was more of TY Hilton than Torrey Smith, no?""]

that's like a red or a green apple. Both are apples right?

1h

And for the record, I saw Mike Mayock, Todd McShay at UM's

Pro Day today. Mel Kiper Jr's never on these streets.

I like Dorsett and all, but I'm not taking him at 25. And it seems like some of yall are putting a lot of stock in a pro day and not the film.

what did his Pro Day show that his film didn't?

[gettlemanjack]

There's a reason why we were 6-7 last year. Coaching was apart of it but...

pretty much nationally known Miami's coaching was one of the worst of all time last year. I take it you don't agree?

[gettlemanjack]

hell, even going to the end of 2013 when Miami's coaching wet the bed, they had an influential Miami grad who had been a huge Miami fan from the 70's on national radio fuming about how Miami's coaching had hit an all-time low
