Measurables

To me, Zach Wilson is Jay Cutler in the body of Jimmy Clausen. He would scare the hell out of me if I was drafting high enough to consider him.

The Zaven Collins weight is worrisome IMO. He is a phenomenal upright player and plays well in space. But he is officially being looked at as a tweener at 270. Normally, a tweener would be because of the in-between of size, but in his case he IS the size of a DE but he PLAYS like a linebacker. Maybe looking at Anthony Barr as a model to follow is the best way to figure out who he can be.

Personally, I LOVE this kid as a player. I would love to draft him. But if the Panthers did take him, I would hope that they ask him to get down to 255 by training camp. His versatility is what makes him special and the heavier he is, the less versatile he becomes.

I get Urlacher vibes from that guy. But I agree, 270 is a bit concerning.

Bunch of Robby Anderson builds coming into the league.

Robby looks like a stick out there but he’s listed at 190.  Crazy how little some of these guys weigh.  I’m intrigued how their build will hold up.

Today’s NFL makes this slightly more plausible. Hollywood Brown type guys.  Better be fast and better make most of your catches over the top. These guys wouldn’t have made it through a quarter of football 15 years ago. 30 years ago, they’d have been in the morgue.

It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog.

Smitty was a whole different level of player.  He was “small,” but pound for pound he was the best WR in all of football.  You can’t really compare these new guys to that, it’s just unfair to them haha.  No one will compare to 89.

Imagine Atwell coming across the middle and Tre Boston having a bead on him for a crushing hit. Boston would miss again but the breeze would take down anything below 150.

Saw an interview with him and liked him immediately.  Alpha type dude.  I think he will end up being really good.

That’s what I told to my wife too

Love Tutu, but my main concern with him has been his bulk. I thought he was heavier than that in college.

He can outrun everything, but at that weight he has to.

DeVonta Smith is going to get hurt at that size and height. At 6' he needs to be at least 190.

I was nervous when my team was playing Louisville and TuTu had the ball. That doesn’t always translate, but.

Speaking of measurements. Sewell looks about 6’2” on tape and his knees bend inward. Weird looking fellow.

Levon Kirkland played around 270 at a stud level ILB for the Steelers
