Combine meetings aren’t always “ah we like you taffy duck step lads”

We may be drilling in at their acumen, football IQ and treating it like an interview.

Yep. Combine has become quite a spectacle over the years. In reality, it doesn't tell us much of anything.

I usually have my eye and gut test checking in late December/early Jan with the college year still well in memory. The guys who really stand out leading their teams are the ones to keep an eye on through the process. 

I do like the crop of defenders in this draft. Curious about that UVA safety.

god no. we don't need another speed back. get scar or another late round power guy.

Sony is a complete back. I’d rather not pick him at 24, it’s what it would take, but if there is no stud (WR-Ridley, OT-McGlinchey, DT-Key, or S-James)who do you pick? It’s tough to pick Ronnie Harrison, who I like or Christian Kirk or Will Hernandez with Michel on the board

    • Most EVs are in the 90+ e-MPG meaning some measurement house somewhere compares the EV to a similar ICE model and works out how much is costs to charge (on average) versus fill up as a point of comparison. Talking long term, in the hundreds of thousands of miles?  No clue.  Some early signs are that EV batteries maintain 80% charge over 400k miles.  So there's that.   The challenge and charm of an ICE vehicle is being able to park it under a tree, get your jack stands out and tinker with your engine.  There's just not that same level of complexity in an EV.  I saw someone estimate there are 200 or so moving parts in an EV, and 2000 in an ICE vehicle.  I'm not a part counter so I can't really speak to that. I think that the EV is more the future than any type of combustion engine.  Those will still be around in specific purposes, but for most people - an EV will be the superior option in terms of efficiency.  I say that as someone who loves stupid horsepower numbers out of turbo 4 bangers and inline 6s...  I am one of those tinkers when I can be. A bigger issue for EVs is going to be the ownership versus lease.  Right now, there are INSANE leases on EVs, which is great, but what do you have at the end of that lease?  Nada, maybe some equity if you're lucky.  Where as I'm almost done paying for my car, and plan to keep it until the wheels fall off (or my son wrecks it when he starts to drive).  Will EV makers do the smartphone thing and build in planned obsolesce?  Stop updating software?  I love the tech in EVs, and I think getting more cars and trucks off the road is a good thing.  But I am still just a little concerned.  Capitalism has gotten far too extractive.
