These dudes on this combine blowing Shemar Stewart. 4.5 sacks…career. True 4-3 strong side end will help him. He can obviously jump and play football. Need a sack artist in the first half of round 1 and he is not that…yet.

 

Yep his production is lacking, but he is what some said should be a better pro. 

Here is a guy that was drafted 1st overall in 2021

For all these guys, especially in the first round its about upside, projection, what you could/should do in pro system. 

I mean, have you watch how some of the sacks happen form the players with big numbers. Unblock, QB dancing around for 10 seconds, QB falls player touches him, etc. Presures and hurries are important and I think his is 14.8%.

Here a great link on this better than my drool typing

Walker better step it up or I may have to rethink pick 8.

 

I was just thinking that as well!! 

He's form the queen and a huge panther fan, bonus points.

I think we finally found common ground this 2025 season.

 Jon snow.... I didn't want war with you, but I was.........

It's about to come down to Graham or Pierce for me. I cannot bring myself to endorse picking a TE at 8. My conscious won't allow it.

And this is why I utterly despise the combine

I don't understand changing your opinions on players based on them performing non football drills without pads and that being the differentiator in your opinion of a player over 3-4 years of game tape on them.

Like I've said before, the combine made more sense a few decades ago when there weren't a hundred HD cameras at every college game, so you get multiple angles of every snap of every player, over the course of their full career.  It allowed you to compare players with each other when you didn't have access to all of that dedicated tape on each player.  

The only thing the combine is good for these days is the interviews and letting teams interview hundreds of players in person without needing to fly around the country for weeks on end.  The actual on field drills are nothing more than TV fodder for fans to watch and networks to sell commercial time to make money.

    • Love the Freeling pick even more after watching his pressers. Dude is sharp and definitely seems to have the right mentality. I loved hearing how personal he took having a bad game with a torn labrum and instead of seeing that as the reason for his bad game and not changing anything, it motivated him to work even harder. Such a great pick, we finally got our all pro level LT for the next decade and now we can move Ickey to RT or guard with no hurt feelings due to his injury. Second favorite pick is probably Brazzell. He said he false started on his 40 and it cost him probably 0.04 seconds, so he’s more of a 4.33 guy rather than 4.37. Really Randy Moss lite. I didn’t know anything about him prior to drafting him and first highlight reel I saw of him I immediately thought he looked like Moss. Then I saw the measurables and was like yep. Then I see that he’s drawn that comparison by many scouts and analysts. If he can add consistency and play to the level of his highlights every play then we got an incredible value.
    • During his three years at UGA he only allowed 5 sacks. He is only 21 and is on an upward trajectory. He's a great athlete that was good basketball player in high-school.  His height (76% how is this only 76%???? these guys are giants now), hands (81%), span (99%), speed (96%), quickness (10 yd. 86%), and explosiveness (vert. 96%, broad 97%) are all outstanding.  When we took Freeling, Fano, Mauioga, Proctor, and Miller were all off the board so we could have drafted Iheanachor or Lomu instead or waited to the second or third round to take Bell, Tiernan or Barber or wait even longer.  A lot of these tackles (including the first two taken) project to right tackle or guard in the NFL and that's not what we needed now.  Freeling has some sloppiness to clean up in his run blocking, but he's young and getting better.  We can let him get experience behind Walker and Moton knowing if he has to replace one of the two this year, his pass blocking won't get Bryce killed. Icky's not coming back from that injury as a nfl starting left tackle and Moton is in the twilight of his career.  If Walker has a great year, we will have to pay him a lot and if he is medicore we would want to let him walk.  Getting a LT on a rookie contract is going to help a lot with the cap.    
    • It was cool but they have done this at least in recent years unless I am imagining it
