he was never projected as a first round, in fact early projections had had him in 3rd.

 

I dunno man, I've seen a lot of mocks projecting for him to go at the end of the 1st. Would you put $10 on him going before Davante Adams? You liked quite a bit if memory serves.

 Adams is ok but is not one of my faves.This draft is so deep at WR there are many good players to choose from. I would say it is going to be hard to determine who will go before whom. From early projections Adams was ahead of Landry but like I said anything could happen. Too close to call. The upside of all this is somebody has to fall and that is where hat value pick is gpoing to come.You have Watkins , Evans,  skip to Lee and Benjamin then you have everybody else.The "everybody else" are pretty much interchangeable.

Manziel actually really helped himself with the measurements. He came in close to 6 foot tall at 5-11 3/4 and had the biggest hands of any of the QB's in this draft. 

Big hands is the new fad now? Big hand would matter if someone else had tiny hand. They all measured above 9 inch. Which is standard NFL size. It's the 'who ate more poop' debate.

Both LSU guys are sub 6'. Predicting a lot of empty seats on my OBJ wagon in the not too distant future....

 

Depends on his 40. Jermiah's expecting him to blow it up. OBJ's mom is the track and field coach at Tulane lol. Still, he did seem to have trouble separating on deep routes.

Update with OL Bench reps included

 

http://walterfootball.com/combine2014OL.php

 

Impressed with Tiny Richardson and Greg Robinson with the long arms putting up reps in the 30's. Most of the other "names" we have been following were in the low twenties, with the exception of Lewan who notched 29

 

Unless Robinson completely tanks on the drills, he probably should be number one.  He could easily be the next Orlando Pace type player.  Course, I always like the big uglies more than others.

Starts at 9am, will be in and out today so I am taping every days stuff so I can go back over.

 

For the big guys, weights, heights and bench are in the books.  Now it is footwork, using hands and cone drills, oh yeah, and the 40.

 

for these guys, the 10 yd split will be the part you need to pay close attention to.

 

Walter Football may be whacked out on mocks, but they do get the info up pretty quick and they do include the 10 yd split.

    • Let's be completely honest about this... Our WR room is AT and a bunch of question marks. Thielen is the only guy we know who knows the route tree completely, understands play calls and can regularly get open/beat close coverage when necessary. He's long in the tooth, isn't the speediest guy on the field but he plays like a pro, starting level wide receiver. Xavier, last season looked great at first, but man he kind of petered out down the stretch and would disappear in a number of games. He wasn't reliable on routes or getting open and where he was supposed to be a king at contested catches, he often looked a bit intimidated. I'm not saying he's a washout by any means. Anyone with his size, speed and catch radius could make it big in the NFL, but can he do it? He'll need to show more than he did in the preseason before we can really rely on him as a WR1 or WR2.  Coker was a revelation last season, he really played way above his (non)draft status and flashed multiple times in games and was a steady performer. What we need to find out, though, is whether he was benefiting from being an unknown that wasn't getting maximum effort from opposing DBs or if he was just outworking and outhustling everyone on the field. We should find out this season. We sure as hell didn't find out much in the pre-season (from him or any receiver or QB for that matter). He's still a question mark, but I think he has the look of the real deal. He might be this generation's next Thielen. Now, let's talk about Tet. High first round draft pick, first true WR off the board this year. Stellar career out west in college. Has the swagger of the WR1. And man, y'all are going to get mad about this but... he comes across as a mook. And in the pre-season he performed, well, not so great against poor opposition of second and third stringers. Yeah, he caught that one moonshot ball in the first game but really, nothing else lighting the place up. Rookie endzone drop in that game, too. He's still young and adjusting, I'm sure, but I was hoping to see something of a breakthrough kind of guy. I'm still looking. Hunter Renfro? Gosh, I hope he can make the team and make a comeback to his old form. It would be such a great story. But maybe neither one of those happens. We won't know until Tuesday and then, if he makes it past there it could be weeks. So, TL;DR: AT is all we can bank on right now. We couldn't afford to let him go considering the number of unknowns we'd be throwing out there for our QB, who himself is still an unknown. One thing to add: Our receivers coaching group has their work cut out for them. I hope they are up to the task, but the pre-season gave me little reason to believe in them. And I really need something to believe in here in Carolina.  
    • Same I think Randsom is a baller..... hopefully we don't have to suffer through 4-8 games of Scott blowing azz to get him on the feild.
    • Linebacker is the biggest need - I hope we figure out a way to address it. Krys Barnes is the only one who even moderately flashed.  Super nervous about Trevin/Rozeboom as a duo (Still like Trevin) I'd be excited if we had a better vet to mentor Trevin.  Or a better younger guy to support Rozeboom.  They just don't fit well and it may be a big problem against the run, even with our DL much improved.
