We should take a RB this year. Thia class is bananas.

Yep and we knew during this college season that the RB class was great. An NFL team’s GM/Scouts should 100% have known that going into the 2024 draft.

We have to dip again because Brooks isn’t even playing this year.

Lol @ Bond running a 4.41 after claiming he could do a 4.1-4.2

I don't know how true this is, but I read there were some concerns from some players over the field at the combine.  I guess they recently put in a new turf and some players felt like it was slowing them down and was the reason behind some guys deciding not to do the testing and waiting for their Pro Days (or in the case of Big 12 guys, the Big 12 Combine they're putting on in a few weeks)

Not sure I believe that after the RB group tore it up.

Whether it's also slowing down some players times isn't for me to say or not, but they do have a new field that in theory should slow players down ever so slightly based on this article, it makes sense.

Yeah, the DBs, RBs, LBs, and DEs absolutely FLEW. If you didn't run fast it's because you ain't fast or maybe you just had a bad day, whatever. But it wasn't because of the field.

Mark it. Tet McMillan will not go top 10 hiding from his speed. Possibly late teens.

You realize he's not hiding from his speed, he's just not doing the events at the combine like a lot (most?) Top 10 picks generally don't do these days.

From what I've seen, he's planning on doing the drills at the Big 12 Combine at the end of the month as well as at his Pro Day.

I hate it but if you're considered a top 10-15 pick you generally just don't do drills at the Combine. That's been the case for awhile now.

Dillon Gabriel and Will Howard do not look like NFL QB’s to me.

Jaxson Dart is impressive though.

Dart is talented but the success(or lack thereof) from that system is going keep a LOT of teams away from him until later in the draft.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By Seltzer · Posted

      I personally think you are trying to talk yourself into circles here... It's ok to say Bryce played incredible the last 5 weeks... I know there are plenty of people on this board who desperately need the doom-and-gloom narrative, but I genuinely question how much NFL QB play some of these people really have watched when they still question him being the unquestioned starter for next year...  Again, that being said, no one is crowning him at all. I think Bryce is one of the best stories going into 2025 bc his season last year was so outlandishly unprecedented. It's totally fair to personally not believe in Bryce. Plenty of sports "journalists" need to write stories, and that's an easy narrative path... But I think that actual people in the know rank Bryce much higher. That's the fun thing about sports... we shall see!

      Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.

      Not really, the only QB's (other than Anthony Richardson) ranked below him are new to their teams as a placeholder starter or drafted in 2024 or 2025, not a lot of gymnastics to get there. It's not about how many that is, if it's 20, 12, or 2... It means there isn't a QB who's team has committed to them for the long term right now that they have ranked below Bryce. That's not a great thing.
