Pickett a future clipboard holder.

You're crazy, not with those numbers. The guy will be restricted to holding post it notes, mostly for their adhesive properties.

Nah, you can tell by his meh traits. I know you’re from Pitt & have to defend the guy, but he’s meh. That’s okay cause this class overall is meh.

Oh, okay. I thought you were zeroing in on hand size. I mean, I disagree quite a bit, but fair enough. I'm from Pittsburgh, and weirdly enough I have an advanced degree from Pitt, but I loathe the team. I root against them all the time. That's what comes of being an avid Penn State fan all my life I like Pickett against my better judgment lol

Disappointed Wilis isnt running

 

[GoldGloveschmidt]

The 4.26 from Olave is crazy. He does not look that fast on tape.

He looked low 4.3 fast his Jr year.

Makes you wonder how fast was Williams before the ACL inury.

We're drafting defense so it doesnt matter, lol

 

[SoonerLou]

My goodness this WR class is fast. Please dont end up drafting the Isabella of the class Keim! There are some good fast guys!

As long as they're over 6 foot and can play on the outside, I don't care who it is. I'm tired of Keim's obsession with small slot WRs. You can only play 1 slot guy.

See thats what scares me.

Keim will reason that we can get WR later because of its depth. And that will still be a riskier guy cause we know Keim is sketchy in those middle rounds.

 

[football karma]

As long as they're over 6 foot and can play on the outside,

most of those guys are going to go in the first round

then its Pickens and Tolbert in round 2, and then after that.......

I am insane enough to think that not even Keim can screw this one up.

WR/EDGE/IOL. First 3 rounds (not ordered).

Cmon Steve.

Edit: wouldn't hate an RB in the 2nd or 3rd if he can shore up IOL / Edge in free agency

Call me crazy but I would like Alec Pierce in round 3. I loved his tape and he just ran a 4.33. Wow!

 

[DaHilg]

He looked low 4.3 fast his Jr year.

We're drafting defense so it doesnt matter, lol

If sign kyler to a $40mm + deal and draft defense in the first 3 rounds then I just quit as a fan. Invest in your $40mm man if that’s what it’s going to be

 

[SoonerLou]

Olave is such a smooth runner. I think he's more Will Fuller than Robert Woods. Hopefully Fuller that stays healthy.

Not sure he'll be there with that time.

Yea I dont mind going Oline in the 1st round either. Just fully commit to putting young talent on that side of the ball instead old stop gaps.

We might lose Kirk and Chase so the next young talent would be Rondale? Thats not enough.

Anyone care? I don't know where else to put this. anyway....here we go.

When I watch the combine I can't help but wish we had a GM that knew how to scout & draft the talent there? We don't but I can wish lol. Maybe one day?

 

[BritCard]

You show up at the Combine or.....?

If you declare for the draft you have to compete at the combine. If you don't compete at the combine, your name is removed from the draft. Easy.

 

[BritCard]

The people choosing to not do it, do it for their own self interests. Forcing someone to do something usually works the opposite of how you want.

If a player decides not to do a cone drill or the combine at all, teams can adjust their draft board accordingly.

I bet you would love it if your boss told you that you had to shave all of your facial hair because some employees can't seem to keep their beard groomed.

That's a silly argument.

If I went to interview for a company where it was known no facial hair was allowed then it would be up to me to follow that rule wouldn't it? In fact there are many jobs where beards are not allowed. Offshore oil workers, fire depts, many police forces, pilots etc

If you want to work in the NFL, you take the NFL testing. Simple as that. Same as every did for 38 years.

This "I'm not going to throw at the combine because I want to throw to my buddies on my pro day that we practiced 20 times in advance" is pure crap. If you can't turn up and throw a 20 yard out route to the best WR's of the year then you should probably call it quits.

And this really isn't a controversial opinion. For 38 years every player tested. There are no new reasons not to. Only invented ones.

Well, that's never going to happen.

I agree... if you want the job then do the damned interview....otherwise just go sell cars.

unless you actually intended to be a professional basket weaver when you signed up for that major?
