While true, it hardly matters. People are going to print 4.39 and dynasty monkey are going to remember 4.39 on draft day. His price just went waaaaaay up. I have had him #2 on my list from day one and he's going to be in consideration for 1.01 in a lot of leagues.
Oops. Didn't notice or read past that. It was a Jerry Jones line. They at least nailed that.
Right there with you on this one. If he's sitting at 4 (and in a good situation like Packers or Indy or similar), that's something to really think about.
I would have been very surprised if Westbrook had run OVER 4.38 so 4.34 is probably ballpark.
At 6'1"/228 lbs/10.25" hands, he is the prototype every-down NFL back, physically at least. Great hands, elusive, tough at the point of contact, very good long speed, great size, good balance, vision, can line up as a WR, and has fresh legs. Whatever team can weather the PR storm is going to have an every down starting RB for a fraction of the cost of what he is worth from a production standpoint. Talent wise, I think he's the best PPR back this year by quite a bit. The history is going to hurt his NFL draft stock for sure, but that doesn't matter in fantasy football. Production matters and this guy has an elite skillset.
At #1 overall you mean? I'm hoping (and kinda thinking) that Mixon will fall to #4 at least, if not more.
Yeah but that was with the first set of numbers that were put out. A 4.50 is still not a bad time but if he ran a 4.39 at nearly 230 that changes things for me.
I think it will now depend on what happens in the NFL draft. If he goes late first/early second into a good situation he could pass Cook and the WRs, and perhaps even Fournette.
I can't see that last part, personally. Of course that depends on where they all land. Anyone done a "post combine, but pre NFL draft" rookie ranking?
I wouldn't, but I could see it happen. Say Fournette ends up in Jacksonville and Mixon goes in the first to the Colts (although that's unlikely - but he could fall to round two).
Well, no chance Jacksonville does that after drafting Yeldon high and signing Ivory to that pretty big deal last year - but I see your point. Like I said, depends on where they land.
Sitting at 1 and 4, I have to think I land two of these. Or my top pick of them, and then the top WR at 4. Either way I'm happy!
Yeldon was a 2nd rounder and NFL contracts don't mean much. Those reasons don't preclude Fournette to Jacksonville.
especially with a new regime on board. I could certainly see Coughlin/Marrone opting for adding a big power back. Yeldon looks like a backup level player to me and the team could probably get out of Ivory's contract without too much pain.
Adrian Peterson's 3 cone was 7.09.
Leveon Bell, who was slower than he likely is now, threw down a 6.75.
I agree with a lot of that....I mean his vert was a little better than average and even a 4.5 at 230 is plenty fast enough. Love his skills in the passing game and yes it can't be stated enough he's a huge off the field risk.....
What he did was bad, but no it was this bad: 1 Phillips broke into backup quarterback Scott Frost's apartment by climbing the outside of the building to the third floor and entering through some sliding doors. He then assaulted basketball player Kate McEwen. Phillips dragged McEwen out of the apartment by the hair and down three flights of stairs before smashing her head into a mailbox.
I think people kind of misunderstand what type of athlete AP is/was. He's jacked compared with the average human and he's really cut, so he looks muscular, but from a height/weight standpoint he's actually more of a lean-framed speed back than a rugged power back. 6'1.5" 217 pounds (28.1 BMI) with 4.41 speed and phenomenal explosiveness in the jumps (38.5" vertical / 10'7" broad jump). He's big and strong enough to run hard, but for me what made him a star was his explosive qualities. Not many backs have the elusiveness, footwork, and speed that he had in his prime. That's why the Fournette comparison really doesn't work for me. Whether you like Fournette or not, he and Peterson are not alike in terms of body type and running style.
And his other drills were pretty bad. No one test is going to tell you everything. Look at the whole picture.
Yeah but Bell was overweight.......So all his jumps and 40 yard dash would have been a little better at 220. I'm not sure by how much but it would have been noticeable.....Then that 3 cone was insane. Mixon isn't going to lose 20 pounds.....those are his numbers. So average/good explosiveness and good speed........ 4.5 is fast at 230.
Can you say with 100% accuracy that you know Fournette never played at that weight and second part do how you know he is overweight at 240? Because I don't think either of those things are true but I can't prove it either.
I kind of agree here, the joy for the MIxon workout seems to be kinda bizarre.
The joy came from different numbers......
