Would you draft this German WR prospect?

[Frank Hollywood]

Apparently the kid tore it up at his pro day.

Would you be OK with Dave drafting him in the 5th round? 7th? Or only an UDFA signing? He's raw but he could be gold.

 

"Officially at Florida Atlantic's pro day, Boehringer ran a 4.43-second 40-yard dash, had a vertical of 39 inches, a 10-foot-11 broad jump, a 4.10-second short shuttle, 11.15-second 60-yard shuttle, and a 6.65-second three-cone drill that had scouts on the ground doing double-takes at their stopwatches, shaking their heads, and laughing. He also had 17 lifts on the bench press. All of these marks would have landed inside the top five among all wide receivers who tested at the NFL Scouting Combine in February. And his 40, which was run on grass, is about the equivalent of a 4.39 on turf -- a time that would have tied for second among receivers at the combine.

What makes the performance even more remarkable was that Boehringer did it at a height-weight combo (he measured 6-4 1/2 and 227 pounds on Thursday) resembling an NFL tight end. There just aren't many historical comparisons for a player testing like he did at that size. Two of the more recent, better comps might be Devin Funchess and Dorial Green-Beckham -"

Awesome story.

I'm on here all the time and have not ever seen a thread on him or heard of him before today. Can you provide a link? Seeing as how he just had his pro day, I think it's relevant. 

[top dawg]

Yeah, Frank, this is being discussed here. 

 

The thread title arguably isn't as descriptive as it could be, but I guess it was centered around April Fools

My bad. Totally skipped over anything looking remotely looking like an April fool's discussion.
