At first glance it's not a great class. I'm not even sold on the big two yet. I am curious to see how Taylor Heineke looks/measures in the post-season games and combine though.
Very A. Barr like, just smaller.
If he wants a longer career, he should probably head to the defensive side of the ball.
I think he will be more than a role player. I'm not expecting Calvin Johnson or anything but I am expecting him to be a long term WR1. I'm thinking it's likely he's the one who falls to 3. I'm pretty pumped given my receiving corps is an aging Andre Johnson, Edelman, Torrey Smith. I have Allen Robinson stashed so Cooper/Robinson should end up helping soon. Of course if Gordon or Gurley fell I wouldn't be crying.
Word is out now that he's already having ongoing discussions with the NFL regarding their conduct policy and he has not "officially" declared for the draft.
This. I think what, Hundley is generally considered the #3 guy? And he's been getting chewed up by scouts all season.MAC_32 said:
Hundley to Chip Kelly and the Eagles would be interesting.
So everyone has soured on Nick Foles at this point? Lead the team to a 5-2 record before going down to a shoulder injury? He might not have been perfect, but he was tossing for 290 a game and his losses were against two tough squads while on the road (49ers and Arizona). I admittedly didn't watch enough of him prior to the injury, and a 13:10 TD:INT ratio plus 3 fumbles isn't great, but I cannot believe he's yanked this quickly.
Hard to say. I think this year's crop is just average. Nothing special. As of right this minute I don't expect next year's group to be substantially better or worse. There might be a slight edge this year at the very top. A lot can happen in 12 months with players emerging though.
Probably no one cares besides me, but I just read that Dyer has joined Michael Johnson Performance in Texas for his combine prep. Same guys who had Mike Wallace, Knile Davis, Darren McFadden, and Ndamukong Suh. Ty Montgomery will also be there. It will be interesting to see what kind of numbers those guys can crank in the drills. They're built for an event like the combine. Ameer Abdullah will also be training with this company. I'm curious to see what kind of results they can get out of him. He is super athletic, but not necessarily a track type. His PR in the 100m in high school was "only" about 11.1, which isn't great by the standards of an NFL skill player.
So, what's your honest take on the results of these players knowing that they are preparing for combine drills in a mill designed for it? Does it add value knowing that results could be better, thus increasing draft stock, or does it decrease value in your mind knowing that results otherwise might be more average. I know it's a reach to be more inclined either way, but I wonder if NFL teams consider this kind of stuff when they put players under the microscope.
I don't know exactly how it works in every case, but my impression is that agents cover the costs for the pre-combine training. So chances are that if someone is a good enough prospect to have gotten a combine invite then he will also have signed with agents who are paying for quality training. If all players are receiving approximately the same quality of preparation then it cancels out and isn't a factor in how you should view the combine results.
Really tough to judge a QB in that offense, but there's a lot to like about Petty - big, fast, strong arm, doesn't make many mistakes. However, he has horrible footwork at times that leads him to be very inaccurate (like watching McNabb).
I dont think his age counts against him as a RB. Most teams look on these guys as a 3 or 4 year project anyway.
Too early to say. Depends on if he's drafted, where he's drafted, and how much hype he gets from the Internet community.scothawk said:I dont think his age counts against him as a RB. Most teams look on these guys as a 3 or 4 year project anyway.EBF said:Faust said:
If he is selected, I will be adding him in every rookie draft that I can. Question is how late can I leave him?
All of them are heading to combine prep camps, so it's a level playing field.slackjawedyokel said:
IMHO, you must ask what was the level of competition. Depending how you at it, it plays a roll. Could be great, could be small but it must be accounted for especially considering the position they play......just my opinion. Not in my top 5, not close.
yea Foles should be better then Hundley imo.... Hundley is a great runner but can he pass in the NFL???? We know Foles can. Stupid move eagles need Ol or defense before qb........ typical eagles thinking though... never on the right page, making wrong moves
