Im a size/speed nerd, please forgive me!!!!

You also you have to know what matters in these drills. You have to use them to confirm what you see in the tape, both good and bad.

I want it ALL. I explained some of reasons in another post- summary. All players get hurt and lose speed/quicks/strength....if you already are slow,*but able to start and lose speed/quickness/etc you will be cut or out the league cause you can lose any of that. If you are very fast and lose .3, you are still fast and have a job....

Big fan of long arms(rhule meme) and big hands, height you name it, even neck size....

I cannot bring myself to endorse picking a TE at 8.

What the combine is for is the analytical side of scouting

I think one or more of these second tier edge rushers is going to have a stellar combine. James Pearce Jr. is my best guess.

I know there were some folks here pretty high on Iowa LB Jay Higgins. 4.82 is pretty rough. Slowest LB to run so far by a pretty wide margin.

Speed at CB is not going to be a concern on this draft. 18 CBs have ran 4.5 flat or better. 7 have ran 4.4 flat or better. Two at 4.3 flat.

Hunter was right not to do the drills. I honestly don't think he would've stood out. He would've tested VERY well but it would've probably threw a little cold water on him being athletically head and shoulders above the pack.

Across the board so far there are some ATHLETES in this class.

Bryson Nesbit ran poorly. There goes that mid round projection I had. Maybe we can get him as a UDFA.

Eschew homer picks. They so frequently lead to heartache.

4.88 is bizarre. He plays like a mid-4.6 guy.

Jason Taylor’s kid is good.

You're probably right, but I think what Hunter has on top of athleticism is football instincts.  And that's not something that shows off in the underwear games.
