2024 Draft Countdown/NFL Prospects thread

[DVontel]

I don’t want to draft a wr in the top 10 that has to stay in the slot. Kirk struggled this season on the perimeter in Jax as well.

Nabers isn’t just a slot WR.

Is there a thought process on this site to where if a WR is not at least 6’3, they’re relegated to the slot?

The LSU game I watched that’s where he played. Did he play on the perimeter in other games? Which ones?

Mizzou, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, etc.

Again, it’s the Justin Jefferson discussion we had earlier. Jefferson barely played outside, too.

Yeah that dude didn’t know what ran him over.

Exactly Mulli. We are all message board posters, so using that line of logic isn't a good look.

Well in my home I'm a GM. Okay, make that an assistant GM.

im not sure the slot designation is what it used to be

every week in the NFL, i watch teams put their best WR in the slot to get a matchup

Matchup is the key word now....that's what most current offenses are trying to exploit. Get your guy in a 1 on 1 matchup he can win...no matter if it's on the slot or on the edge...or even out of the backfield.

Looks great running through Georgia Tech. Kyle Pitts says hello. lol

Literally was going to post this. Rondale Moore had some amazing highlights vs like Kansas.

I am a little or a lot shocked at how unNFL TE like Bowers looks. More like Broke Bowers if he tries to block an NFL DE amirite?

 

[Mulli]

If the Arizona Football Cardinals draft him in first two rounds, I am most likely totally out.

(ok, who am I kidding)

Ok, so good college player. But I just don't see an NFL TE worthy of a high first rounder.

Down by 21 is Brock Bowers' time to shine against top competition's second team.

There really has never been one. Vernon Davis wasn't worth it and Kyle Pitts hasn't been worth it. I saw a longitudinal break down of the best round to draft certain positions, and TE is best found in rounds 3-5. Just draft one every other year or so and one is likely to work out.

Okay, I’ll reserve comment on my thoughts.

I think that Bowers is an elite talent.

He came in as a true freshman and lit up the NCAA. He did it again as a Sophomore. Then he did it again as a Junior.

He is the Tebow of Tight Ends.

It's going to be extremely funny when he gets measured at the Combine at 6'1", 215.

Probably meaningless, but I want to see his bench press reps. Can he reach Gronk's 23? Troy Niklas 27?

The most important part of playing TE.

Most Tight End Bench Press Reps at NFL Combine (By Year)

I've always loved the NFL Combine. A series of events to evaluate the physical characteristics of the best college football players each year. It's basically an Olympic decathlon for potential NFL Rookies. Some may call

Some real unknowns on these lists.
