I don't.. Ford ran over a 5.0 in his cone drill which is worse than most lineman.. he has straight line speed only.. and no agility.

What? A 5.0 would be supersonic. Long had the fastest at 6.45

He ran a 7.00 which is faster then Smiths time (at least the only time I could find of 7.44)

Ford has very underated YAC ability.

5.00 would indeed be fastss

2. Sherrod Martin: Troy (6-1, 198) (Three-cone drill: 6.60)

No wonder so many NFL teams are looking at Martin as a cornerback prospect. Not only did he prove at the combine that he has the speed to run with receivers down the field, but he was also one of the most fluid and graceful defensive backs during position drills. I still think Martin has the makings of a ball-hawking free safety at the next level, but his three-cone time proves he also has the foot speed and body control to be successful at corner as well.

Well looky there

Ford doesn't have great YAC ablity imo....he doesn't move great laterally. If you let him run straight like in track he is fast. Put him on a football field w/ a guy w/ real agility and speed (Spiller) and Ford doesn't look fast at all. Shoot, if we grab a SC kid I'd rather them get the Citadel kid. If Ford is the only WR drafted by Carolina......that would suck.

Steve Smith ran a 6.84 cone according to wiki..

If neither D. Thomas, or Tate fall in the 2nd...we'll go Defense. Coming to the 3rd...you may see us make a move up for Gilyard, or take Ford when our time comes. Otherwise pretty boring draft borrowing major moves/trades.

Otherwise...I'll be drinking beer and fishing.

      Smitty on TMac

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      I think everyone says Mike Evans because of size, but really they have different strengths and play styles.  Tmac is better on intermediate routes and not nearly as good at contested catches.

      Give Legette another season?

      At this point, it is criminal to go into the 2026 training camp/OTA's with XL penciled in as a #2 WR. The team must upgrade, either through free agency or the draft. If he cannot give 100% effort on significantly less snaps as a #4-6 WR(players like Tremayne have done that consistently) then I don't think you have a player worth rostering beyond the trade deadline. Offensively, we eventually have to upgrade to an NFL starting caliber C. It's been almost the length of time from Gross to Ikey since Kalil retired and we have below average to terrible C play. Love Mays as a BC-esque utility backup but he will never be an above average long term starting C.  The TE room is one of the worst in the NFL but it's a low usage position in this offense, so the investments are likely to be small, if any. I would never expect to see an elite TE in a Dave Canales offense. 100% agree on OL depth. We actually aren't bad there but BC will be gone, Mays is a UFA, Corbett is a UFA and Zavala has been both injured and bad. We have to bolster that depth again or resign guys like Mays and Corbett to keep that depth somewhat stable.

      Maxx Crosby is not happy

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Bingo. The dude is a baller no doubt and I'd love to have him in a vacuum but like you said he's gonna fetch a haul so the only teams it really makes sense for are teams with an overall good roster who they feel an edge rusher like Crosby would out them over the top in terms of competing for SBs. I'd be looking st teams like the Pats, Bucs, Ravens, Seahawks, etc. It wouldn't be shocking to see him moved. He may be more valuable to a rebuilding team in the form of the draft assets he'd fetch than he is on the field. He should still have several more good years in the tank at 28 but by the time the Raiders can reasonably expect to rebuild he's gonna be on the decline.
