Skattebo’s Big Moment

[Stout]

I think way too much is made out of workout numbers. Personally, I don't believe an extra .15 on a stopwatch is that important in overall evaluation.

As is someone like Monti is sitting around thinking, "I love this kid! We have him in the top 50 on our board!"

"Oh noes! He ran a 4.65 rather than a 4.5 40! Now he's maybe #100 on our board."

Numbers are overvalued, but scouts and GMs absolutely place value in them. If that one scout hadn't fought tooth and claw for Boldin in the 2nd, he was falling. That scout earned one hell of a bonus.

If this

If this means his draft position would take a hit and Cards can select him in rd 5-6, I am all for it. Dream comes true.

I was originally hoping, that Skattebo would fly under the radar and the Cardinals could draft him late or even sign him as an undrafted free agent.

If he falls in the draft, and the Cardinals still get him, this would be the best case scenario.

Likely a 4th rounder at best at this point. Would be fine spending a 4th on him.

Likely a 4th rounder at worse at this point. I would be happy spending a 4th on him on him but Skattebo is 100% a homer pick for me. If he slides to the 4th I’d be all over it assuming the front office is interested. We need OL & DL help. If MO can finagle a trade down, pick up another 3rd, get our OL & DL in the 1st & 2nd, I’d see if there was a speedster WR then I would pull the trigger on Skattebo with the 2nd 3rd round pick. Best of all worlds for me!

Forgot to post this we visited our niece the other day, they actually live in Elverta Ca but at one point we're on Rio Linda Drive and Cam is from Rio Linda. The niece is the one married to Cameron's cousin. Saw at least 3 signs on the way there that said home of Cameron Skattebo, he outnumbered the Trump flags 3 to 1 which is saying something in that area.

At the combine, too. Which is way more impressive.

A 4.53 at your Pro day is pretty much a 4.6 at the combine.

the thing is we don't know if Cam is even healthy. The reason he didn't run at teh combine was he had a "hamstring issue". If you have a sore or tweaked hamstring the last thing you want to be doing is running 40's. I'm not saying he's as fast as Benson he's not, and I love Benson, but he's probably faster than he showed at his pro day
