No way Newman drops to the 6th/7th. Buechle/Ehinger are fringe UDFA just like Franks.

I think you might be surprised. He has physical tools, but any GM is going to question his competitiveness, or really his ability too, after he packed his bags and went home once he didn’t show out in camp at UGA. 

Really I didn’t even think he was impressive against better competition at Wake. For example, Clawsen didn’t trust him to do anything against Clemson except run that delayed mesh zone and throw yolo bombs on the outside. I wouldn’t be disappointed if Carolina took a shot on the tools in day 3, but I don’t think he’s any kind of lock to go before the 6th round. He might, he might not.

Another late round WR he might turn into something I think is Marquez Stevenson. He had a reputation for speed but his recorded 40 times are slower than you'd think. He is out of Houston. He has done well as a KR and I think his game speed is pretty good. Seemed to outrun everyone he played against despite the slow 40 (if the mid 4.4s early 4.5s are slow).

Larry Rountree. We could use a ground and pound type back to rest CMC. He runs hard and is strong between the tackles. Be nice to have that at the goal line. And he actually is a back who can pass protect. 

We do need something like that. Gerrid Doaks from Cincy is a similar back. Big (230 or so), and can pound the rock between the tackles. One of the draft previews i read said he was good in pass protection too. Probably go undrafted but might be worth a look with our last pick.

Gone before the 5th, bank on it.  You don't find 6"4' with 4.4 speed often.

I've seen alot of boards having him still ranked in the area of 210th best prospect. About early 6th is what I have seen.  Tho he looked really good during pro day, it may have just been Mills throwing almost perfect too. Who knows. But he may still be there.

I like this guy, but I think he’s going higher than 6th/7th

    • Honestly, I view the rest of this season like every game is a division game - meaning you can throw the records out.  Throw the perceived favorites out.  Every week, we have to show up and punch them in their mouth.  We’re gonna have to gut it out.  We can’t go into games against well coached teams and think, “well, the Rams already got that one, McVay is just too good of a coach and they’re too talented.”  “Can’t beat the Niners.  Shanahan is one of the best and they just play everyone so tough, even with injuries.”  We have to go into each game feeling like everyone counted us out and we have to show them why they’re wrong.  And speaking of the Niners - that’s the exact blueprint we need to be looking at - for the last, it seems like at least 5 years, they have been decimated with injuries.  And they still contend to win their division and make a run in the playoffs every year.  Even while starting a plethora of QBs.  Even with their best defensive players being out for the bulk of seasons…  their DNA doesn’t change.  They compete.  Their standard is winning and nothing less, so even if you’re the 3rd stringer forced into action, either show up and play to that level or find another team.  This should be our approach and I think the Saints game was an important wake up call… I occasionally listen to whatever ESPN show is on sports radio in the mornings with Chris Camry and I believe it was after we beat the Packers, they asked him about us and he said, “they’re a young team learning how to win.”  And that is about as accurate or a description as you can get.  It explains the hiccups and the struggles.  But it also explains why it looks so good when we put it all together.  What we need now is our guys to have that light bulb come on as a collective and never look back.  I hope last week was the start of that and it continues tonight and for the rest of the season..
    • The veterans played better last night and they actually were looking for Kon but Bridges and Sexton went for a combined 2-15 from three. That is so bad.
    • https://www.talkbasket.net/206848-lamelo-ball-frustrated-by-hornets-struggles-amid-durability-concerns "Charlotte Hornets star LaMelo Ball is reportedly frustrated by the team’s lack of forward progress, according to NBA insider Jake Fischer." Apparently in his mind being perpetually injured and playing less than Gordon Hayward while on a supermax contract has no effect on the forward progress of the franchise.
