I was really intrigued by Washington after the senior bowl... He is an athletic freak and looks to have massive upside. In the 4th round I would love to have him. Also another guy is Corey Lemonier who is a good fit in a 3-4. A solid option in the 2nd or 3rd if we dont go OLB in round 1.
NFL Network's coverage has been piss-poor. Listening to Michael Irvin shouting over the position coach explaining a WR drill was almost as brutal as listening to Billick answer his phone on the air. Then, when RB drills are happening, they decide to cutaway to a fluffy panel interview of Geno Smith before showing Goodwin's 40 for the 18th time. Show me the kid, tell me who he is, and feel free to let Mayock or whoever else say whatever they want, just don't chop the broadcast up into a thousand pieces! I just want to watch these kids work out! Is that so hard to do?
As I said months ago, Teo was a product of a system, and is not athletic enough to be worthy of a first round pick.
Just like the draft they've waaaay too much production, instead of just letting the event happen, with minimal commeentary
Some things I think are worth noting- Dion Jordan couldnt lift for his upper body all season because of his shoulder injury. Thats a pretty big hindrance, especially for putting on weight and muscle. Once he gets that fixed and into a NFL weight room, physically, he could develop even more and 260 lbs should definitely be achievable. Damantre Moore tweaked his hammy on the first 40, and pulled it in the 2nd. He said he was consistently running mid 4.7's which is pretty solid. His game isnt based solely on athletic ability, but more so being a technician and pursuit. Personally, I wouldnt put that much into his workout. He's still a very good prospect, even though not elite. He also said that 12 reps is by far the lowest he's gotten when training.
Here are my Day 3 observations on the combine if you're interested. A three pager again, so don't want to spam the board in full-text. Would love to hear what you guys think. http://cornerblitz.com/2013/Combine/DLLB.aspx
Do Pro Days get televised or streamed? Or do reporters attend them? Not bullshit National Enquirer reporters like Cimini & Manesh, I mean real football reporters or NFL fans that put out competent blogs/articles. There's quite a few players here that I really am curious about. Even after these combines are over.
Was thinking about Moore's performance in the combine & wondering if pain/discomfort from that pulled hammy affected him on the bench press? I would love to get some reports on Moore performs on his pro day. There's just no way I can believe little WR guys like Austin & Marquis Goodwin can bench more than Moore. ========= You bring up a good point on Jordan's inability to gain significant muscle mass while dealing with the injury. Unfortunately, I'm beginning to think Jets will lose their chance to grab him. Guy is just too popular now. I'm pretty sure most of the new mock drafts after this combine will put Dion Jordan before pick #9.
Last year the NFL Network televised a few of the bigger ones with multiple prospects. They were actually disappointing coverage.
And AGAIN! they're doing it again today. showing people walking around and flashbacks instead of drills. Why? WHY?! *edit* now why are we watching fisher drink coffee?!
Honey Badger's footwork is very good out there. He also has some pretty soft hands and can go up and high point the ball. On the flip side, it looks like Dee Milliner has some stone hands. Dropped 4 passes that I saw. Also because I love UConn football players. Dwayne Gratz looks pretty good out there. He had 22 reps on bench and a 4.35 forty (unofficial). Could be a solid pickup later in the draft.
Mathieu has been terrific all day. I don't care that Milliner isn't catching the ball... neither is the guy he's covering. Gratz really showed up at the senior bowl and he's reinforcing his standing here.
Shamarko Thomas - S - Syr helped his cause this week. 27 reps and a 4.38 first run. 6-7th round prospect.
