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.

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...

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.

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

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.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that.

      I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
