McCaffrey all day !!

Cook's pro day just got massively important.

 

Heck, so is Fournette's after his awful vertical jump and then bailing on the rest of the agility drills.

Fournette is 240 lbs.  He has a low center of gravity.  His vert doesnt really mean anything.

One of my mid round favorites Brian Hill had some solid agility numbers and overall numbers/performance at the combine.

I wonder if Feeney will be there with our 2nd pick?

Cooks a weird one. His film shows he has crazy agility and speed. Numbers not so much.


Wonder is it bad prep or if he just isn't that type of athlete.

It confirms he has poor explosion and needs the runway to get momentum, just like we've all been saying.

He is a power back with speed that can block.  I think all the GMs already know he isn't known for his agility.  No backs his size are.  He is not going to try and dance around you, he is going to try and run through you, or stiff arm you and then out run you.  You will get a juke here and there but that isnt the type of back he is and most people and all the GMs already know it.

This Fournette vert thing is blown out of proportion. He is who he is, some people probably think of the Adrian Peterson and Bo Jackson comps when looking at his combine numbers, but if you thought he was either athletically...you played yourself.

I love lamp

Ok, so he is blocking dependent...very few people deny that. If we improve our run blocking to the point that Fournette can take advantage of the 2nd and 3rd levels, which we agree he is great at, then we can get a whole lot of other RBs a lot cheaper who can also take advantage of that same improved blocking.

For anyone to even compare him to Bo Jackson is ridiculous.  Not sure if anyone will ever match what Bo could do again.  Maybe the most gifted athlete of all time.

If this was next year I could see it because there are 3 really good QBs. I think people should expect DLine with the 1st pick we have. It's the most realstic and we will be getting a day 1 difference maker.


That is said every year and still QBs go way too high. That QB tax is PRICEY

That's his comp on NFL.com I agree it is ridiculous. But it's there.

100% of multiple All-Pro and Pro Bowl RBs since the 1999 NFL Draft Class had a 7.09 3-Cone or less.



RIP Dalvin.
That's why game tape is the most important evaluation tool.
