Bits and pieces from around the league...

PFT reporting that DE Randy Gregory, who weighed only 235 at the combine, showed up for an individual team workout now weighing under 230.

 

I'm guessing he's shooting for a fit on the outside in a 3-4?

You'd think he'd have to be.

A sub 230 DE would be ridiculous.

 

A sub 230 3-4 OLB is also ridiculous. He's a huge bust waiting to happen. At a time when he's supposed to be gaining weight, he lost 10 lbs since he was at 238 at his pro day

Plus the drug concerns.

He honestly seems like kind of a flake.

Yike.  Sub-230 or a pass rusher?  You can get away with that in college, but in the NFL?  Most of the top pass rushers last year in the NFL were 260+.  In fact, there wasn't a single double digit sack guy last year who is listed at a playing weight lighter than 250.  You have to get all the way down to #41 on the sack list to find a guy sub-250 and that's Seattle's Bruce Irvin who's still listed at 248.

 

I just don't know where a 230ish pound pass rushing specialist fits in the NFL.  This guy may be in for an all out free fall in the draft.

Bad news for Boise St RB Jay Ajayi. Reports his med re-check at the combine on his knee did not go well. He injured it in 2011 and can play immediately but there are serious concerns about the long term durability of it and that he may have an abbreviated career. Several teams red flagged him and likely took him off the board. Probably drops him from 2nd-3rd round range to 5th-undrafted range.

it would be a steal getting him in the 5th

Reminds me of another guy whose name escapes me.

He was drafted by the Colts the same year we picked DeAngelo Williams. As I recall, some folks thought that we should have drafted him instead.

Turned out we made the right choice. I don't think he lasted very long in the league.

Remind me, who am I thinking of?

Addai? Did he have medical red flags coming out or are you just comparing the names?

      Jack Roslovic: Only 2 other UFA, right-handed centers age 28 or under had more points (39) than him- Sam Bennett (51) and Pius Suter (46). There were 4 other centers age 33 and older who scored more: Gireaux (37), Marchand (37), Tavares (34), Granlund (33).  Unless the Canes go old, if they let Jack walk, they won't get a center who scored more.  Thoughts?

      It's important to differentiate criticism and hate. I can't speak for that individual you quoted. But most people who have been critical of the Tepper's have been so because both of them have made it a point to put themselves front and center and in the middle of team operations and we have been largely horrific more often than not as a result. If people are making derogatory remarks about her that should be met with an appropriate response but if people are being defensive just because she's being criticized all I can say is people should get used to it. Both her and David would have been getting absolutely skewered by the media and the fans if this were a big market franchise. The Lakers are finally being sold off after years and years of public criticism of Jeannie Buss and even though I'm the furthest you could go from being a Lakers fan just about anyone you could meet who is familiar with the NBA would say the criticism was certainly valid.
