Chances are we are drafting a rb. If we don't go Gurley in the 1st(cuz he's been drafted) I think these guys might be possibilities.

I'd love to have some prospect "vs" threads leading up to the draft.

I know we have some fans of both teams so I'd like to hear from you.

And....go

I thought Duke has been a stud the whole time he's been at Miami and he's gotten stronger as time went on.

He's fast. Don't know his combine numbers but don't care. He's good for a highlight a game with the d chasing him.

I can't really remember him passing catching much. But again QB play at The U not so much. He's a hard runner who could cut and go or bowl over.

From what I remember anyways. And I'm no scout either. I just liked what I saw.

As for Buck Allen...wasn't he on Saturday Night Live in the 80s? Kinda surprised he's in the draft. He's gotta be around 70 or so. But hey, good for him.

Just looked him up on Wikipedia. He's 84 years old. Couldn't find many stats on him.

Oh and he changed his name too. I guess he thought Buck Henry didn't sound like an NFL name. Who knew?

I heard he realized the nfl was a lifelong dream he's running out of time to fulfill. Couldn't compete at the combine because he was getting a pacemaker but has been really working hard with a personal trainer. No word on his 40 time, but some have said he's gotten the attention of a few scouts.

I would be surprised if he goes before the 6th round honestly, but good for him going for his passions at that age.

Yeah I was thinking a flyer in the 7th or snap him up as a UDFA before anyone else can.

      Not in same league. Caldwell just hit a 10.00 on the RAS. 2nd out of 3830 from 1987 onward.  https://x.com/MathBomb/status/2027885023387349047 Yeah I mean Louis had a sub 9.00 RAS. Still very very good, no doubt. Louis is small, no 2 ways about it. He is likely a sub package lb in nickel packages or specialized WLB. Be fine ST gunner to start for sure. 6 foot flat and 220lb is pushing it for a starting LB. At 10 to 20lbs less than the other LBs he'd better be closer to the top in most timed drills. He's gonna be challenged when some of the wrs in the class can matchup bigger stronger faster, much less TE in the run game.  Yeah instinct matter and he has them, but that size is a massive red flag compared to many of the other LBS in this class.    Rodriguez is the LB that really climbed this week from a pure grit guy to great flash with athleticism people wrote off cause he was a QB at first at UVA. 18.4mph in the backpedal. Production the last 2 years were great. I'd be thrilled with him as the future mike.   Hill likely moved out of 51 and into the top 45 picks ( Ravens at 45 I can't imagine don't bite if he makes it there). Honestly Hill imo is a 1st rounder and I'd be ok with him as he fits the MLB we have missed the last few years. People would crow it's a reach but he's top 30 all-time I'm RAS for a LB at 9.9+ . Plus he was big time in big games when he was healthy. And that br a big check: meds.

      Miller, Melo, Coby, Moose, and Bridges all on the floor at the same time must be a nightmare for defenses lol. Switch one out for Kon and still a nightmare. Coby really does bring a true 6th man value and looks like he could start if Melo was out after only a few games of getting his feet wet.
