He also stresses "Fit" he says it a lot like, we draft BPA, based on fit in our scheme. Jackson III, played a little bit of off/zone coverage, so that's not the case here. Some players just aren't cut out for zone.

 

One of Dodd, Ogbah or Spence is highly likely to be available at 30. Pretty sure they are high on out board.

The only players who aren't "cut out for zone" are aged veterans whose skills have detiorated and are dependent upon doing things the way they've always been done with precision.

 

Its not an elaborate formula, nor is it even a true variation between skill sets within scheme.

Hunter Henry only had 13 reps at 225.  Beastly for an average male, a wee bit weak for the #1 TE in the NFL draft.

Check his Pro day he had 21 reps, also most huddlers are picking a DE based on need more so than  BPA. Its kind of hard to imagine a DE ranked 5-7 in its own postion group graded higher than a TE who leads the group.

Henry put up a strong workout. He completed 21 reps at 225 pounds in the bench press, which was more than all but two tight ends who bench pressed at the combine. Henry also showed off his speed with a 4.68 40-yard dash that would have been the second-best time at the combine. He also showed off his athleticism in the broad jump.

where the fug is Derrick Henry

These boards generally had him ranked slightly lower (as a mid-2nd round pick), so he didn't make the list of the top 20 players left on the board in every case.  He probably would have been available in most cases.  But this was the consensus list of "BPA" compiling 28 mocks from 12 different boards.

I'm admit it. I've hopped on the Derrick Henry bus. Want this monster in the black and blue this fall.  He fits our offense as a downhill runner, takes pressure off of Cam in goal line situations, defense will have to respect D Henry on the zone read, and he is just one big mean ass looking sum b1tch.  Although i believe in BPA, I kinda hope it falls this way with D. Henry at 30

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.

      No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By strato · Posted

      Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
