Day 2 Combine Thread QBs, WRs, Rbs

[Southpaw]

Tayvon Austin just busted a 4.25 40. !st runner right out of the box.

I believe he just got the word to remove his non Under Armour All hat off.

Unofficial, but wow. He earned himself a lot of money this morning.

Goodwinn 4.25. Smurf day with Austin and Goodwin

 

[Southpaw]

There are some sizeable WRs out here today.

 

[az jam]

Wow what unbelievable speed, Austin & Goodwin. However Austin is a playmaker. He will go first round for sure. Goodwin is a project.

 

[Southpaw]

Colin Klein is stubborn. Won't work out as TE

Damn. Do not watch the Marcus Lattimore injury play without a barf bag. His lower leg came off.

 

[MoeIsBetter]

Did they start over the combine on Cox? I watched all of what their showing already...

Yes. I am east coast and am getting a do over view. Boring. I believe NFL Network is doing the rehash and not the carrier.

If Geno doesn't have receivers as good as Austin (or Bailey) does he perform well enough to be considered Top Dawg among QB's?

Good question as lots of the pass yardage gained from these guys was after the catch.

 

[MoeIsBetter]

Geno just ran a 4.56 40. Not bad.

It's easy to throw for a 60% comp rate when it's all bubble screens and crossing routes.

The million dollar question. I wouldn't touch him in the top 10.

Well, he's got Jake Plummer as his personal QB coach right now...and Jake can't play TE either.

 

[CardsSunsDbacks]

A lot of fast receivers in this draft. Maybe we could get a pretty good one in the mid rounds.

What came first? The chicken or the egg?

Not from the games I watched this year and that was most of them.

 

[CardsSunsDbacks]

Also pretty much every QB makes a good amount of those short throws, but not all of them are completing 71% of their passes.

 

[Lefty]

The Cardinals don't need to waste a mid-round pick on a receiver. A lot more other positions to worry about.

 

[Bodha]

These drills are worthless, but Matt Scott was by far the most consistent.

Hes my 3rd round favorite. Honestly believe he has the tools to be a phenominal QB.

I don't agree. This offense has absolutely no speed. They need to either draft a speed guy in the draft or find one in free agency, but that is harder to find IMO.

Housler is one of the fastest TEs in the NFL.

Floyd and Roberts are no slouches either.

Alred Morris (who ran for 1,600 yards last year) ran a 4.67 at the combine.


If speed is all you care about, become a Raiders fan.

Those guys all have good straight line speed, but none of them have great acceleration or quickness out of their breaks. Maybe if we put together a respectable running game they will fare better at beating the defense over the top.

For some reason you decided to mention Alfred Morris as if I said that the only way a player can be successful is if they are blazing fast. Alfred Morris actually had a low 40 time of 4.56 which isn't bad plus he has some wiggle and also the ability to fight through tackles. Also the redskins were a very good run blocking team and he also benefited from the read option with RG3.

As for the Raiders. That would only come into play if I said something stupid like "we should take Tavon Austin with our first round pick, because he is fast". I just mentioned that we should look at picking up a speed guy in the mid rounds (4th or 5th round)..

True dat.

You'd better figure that out or else you may draft a dude who isn't all that good without a good supporting cast or QB-Stat friendly system or QB to lean on.
