Watching Penix, Jr vs. a horrible Colorado team should be fun. I think his stock will creep ever so closer to late 1st - early 2nd round material. If we go Anderson/Carter R1, I'd like him in R2. 

He could be our new Thomas Davis rebuilt cyborg.

I think he’s snugly into the second round stock. I don’t know what he could do to really get himself into the first round after the last four seasons.

First chance I've had to see Levis in something more than a clip package of highlights. If he's struggling with injuries as I've heard, then why is he out there playing? Can't just be used as a convenient excuse for poor play and questionable decisions. With that kind of in mind, I don't know how he would be a very high pick. Sure, there is lots of potential, but does he make his teammates better? Does he elevate the team? Those are the real checkmarks for a franchise player.

True. I do think the east coast bias is a real thing and lack of coverage for UW. If they can get a tough matchup against an SEC team in their bowl game and dominate, it could help. Medicals at the combine and pro day will be critical. 

If not for the ACL tears and shoulder injury, he checks every other box.

The east coast bias is a real thing for media hype. It's not a real thing for NFL draft stock.

I think it’s the injuries he’s had every year and previously he’s gotten some really bad tape. Lots of guys end up going from East Coast to West Coast a la Minshew, Penix, Nix, Jacob Eason and put up some really great numbers, just to name a few. I think scouts are typically very picky when it comes to guys like that. Seems like a trend where guys can’t stick at their current school, go west and light it up.

I dont know, just sometime a player with injuries is still better than #2 option.....or the guy insist on playing..

      Malcom Spence is the best player remaining, hope he’s there.

      The era that you played in, and, more importantly, who you played with actually matters. Honestly, that's why these issues will be debated forever, as it's just difficult to say that this person or that person is better when you're discussing the passage of time. As for me, after Rice, Moss and maybe Megatron and T.O., there's probably a dozen or so guys that can be argued about to the cows come home. Personally, I'm not putting Fitz, Harrison, Johnson, Evans, or especially D-Hop, Jefferson, Chase or Hill definitely in front of Smitty (and Colston ain't even in the discussion). Context and all that stuff actually matters. Things like the triple crown matter.

      Some of those guys? Yeah honestly you can.  I would 100% take Steve Smith over Larry Fitzgerald, Harrison, even Mike Evans. He is 100% a better player than those guys in his prime. If you look at the numbers Smith is historically under targeted in comparison to his contemporaries. He was only targeted 150 times or more only once in his career. Fitzgerald for example was targeted well above that 9 different seasons. Had Smith played with Peyton, Brady, Greatest Show on Turf, or even with Warner in Arizona he would broken records. His 2008 season was ridiculous accumulating 1400 yards in 13 games on less than 80 receptions. All time he also lost a season due to injury in 04, barely played WR as a rookie. Got robbed of 1k season with Clausen. Thats easily another 1800yds minimum that should have been tacked on to his #s. The only guys I’d say for certain are better than Smith are Rice, Moss, TO, Megatron, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown.
