2017 NFL Draft

There is a report that the Broncos may look to take Mac in 1st round. The belief is that Elway's relationship with his father would play a role in the decision. Not to mention the Broncos currently don't have a big name at running back.
I read an article last week saying that the Broncos should draft CM but I don't think that's a good idea . Elway has already shown he's more than willing to destroy anybody who poses a threat to the caste system. How can we ever forget what he did to Tebow ? Denver also has one of the worst offensive lines in the league and 2 very young and inexperienced quarterbacks on their roster. And let's not forget their AA head coach .

Now if they draft him in the first round it's going to be met with a lot of praise and applause . The Denver DWF are gonna be really happy about it . Which means they're going to have very high expectations for him . Now who's to say horse face won't do everything in his power to sabatoge CM by not improving the o-line or having the coaches design game plans to make him look bad ?

It would be the best way to dispose of him. He gets drafted in the first round and becomes the starter but he fails because of the poor talent and coaching around him . He'll never come close to living up to those high expectations and he'll be written off as a bust , and nobody in the mainstream will ever get to say White athletes are discriminated against. His name will be used to hurt future generations of white athletes." Yeah he's good in college but you can't forget about Christian McCaffery"

Sorry for being so negative

I hope the team that drafts McCaffrey has at least three White starters on their o-line. We all know about Toby Gerhart's defensive "teammates" who tried to take his head off; can we be confident that offensive "teammates" are going to be any more enthusiastic to see a White running back succeed? As I recall, Peyton Hillis had four White linemen blocking for him during his big year.
True, and if CM does get stuck running behind a Sumo-laden OL, we all know what the narrative will be from the sportscucks if CM is having success..."<such-and-such team's> offensive line is really playing well, allowing McCaffrey to make some big plays...", or something along those lines.

Some pro day updates on some of our guys:

Sickels re-did everything from the combine and significantly improved all his marks. He measured a shade under 6-foot-4, weighed 255 pounds and touched 33.5 inches in the vertical jump. His 40 was timed in the high-4.7s to low-4.8s, while his three-cone was a very swift 6.8s.

Sickels worked both defensive line and linebacker drills, looking very athletic and fluid in each. Teams love the fact he can line up at multiple positions and in multiple schemes, with someone referring to him as a “Swiss Army Knife.”

Sickels met with the San Francisco 49ers, Denver Broncos and New York Jets.

WR Drew Morgan (5-11 3/8, 191) ran the 40 in 4.65 and 4.63 seconds, had a 4.42-second short shuttle, a 6.64-second three-cone, and stood on the rest of his combine numbers. He caught the ball very well in the receiver drills.

» OT Dan Skipper (6-9 1/2, 311) ran the 40 in 5.31 and 5.26 seconds, had a 4.94-second short shuttle, a 7.75-second three-cone, and stood on the rest of his combine numbers. He had what was described to me as a "good, not great" workout.

ILB Brooks Ellis (6-1 5/8, 241) ran the 40 in 4.71 and 4.69 seconds, had a 31.5-inch vertical, a 9-6 broad jump, a 4.36-second short shuttle, a 6.84-second three-cone, and added 20 lifts on the bench press.

Washburn LB Cody Heiman (6-1 3/8, 229) was the only NFL prospect to work out. He ran the 40 in 4.57 and 4.63 seconds, had a 36 vertical, a 10-2 broad jump, a 4.21-second short shuttle, a 6.90-second three-cone, and added 31 bench lifts. Washburn worked out at both linebacker and fullback, and should a Day 3 draft pick.

Also sounds like overlooked PSU DE Evan Schwan had a nice pro day - running a 4.69 @ 6'5" 261 lbs, 31.5 vert, 10-1 broad jump - could be a late rounder.

Todd McGay explains dat wrist flick while oozing over how much Watson has refined his technique lol - give me a break. I love how they try to use faux physics and big words to try and complicate something as simple as throwing a ball. Do I believe their are certain mechanics needed to throw? Absolutely. Do I believe that it is as complicated as launching a rocket into space? Not at all.

ESPN's Todd McShay wrote that at the Combine and on pro day "it was clear that [Clemson QB Deshaun] Watson has tried to rectify [upper-body throwing tendencies]."

"Watson has shortened his stride and is firing his hips first, which allows his arm to become the elastic band in the equation, rather than the driving force," McShay explains. He notes that when he threw with this adjustment, "the ball came off his hand with better trajectory and more velocity." The analyst writes that while Watson sometimes reverted back to poor habits with his mechanics during pro day work, "it's an encouraging sign that the quarterback has devoted so much time to refining his technique."

Davis Webb being scrutinized and weenieworld throws to other white QBs under the bus as well. Again Nick Foles is not a bad QB, the historical 2013 season he had seems to have never occurred. Osweiler was a dud last year in Houston which I will admit to, I do think the Houston fit was not right in the first place though.

An AFC area scout said that Cal QB Davis Webb "has enough between the ears to unlearn some of his bad habits and start to get things right."

"I see another Nick Foles if you give him time to develop," the scout said. If that comparison does not get you jazzed for the Cal gunslinger, then you might want to look away from the one that NFL Media's Lance Zierlein tagged him with. Zierlein comps him to one Mr. Brock Osweiler. While Webb could climb as high as the second round come the draft, Zierlein has serious doubts about his NFL outlook, writing that "his decision-making and accuracy issues beyond 10 yards is a big red flag that might be tough to overcome in the NFL."

White men usually do well in the 20 yard short shuttle and 3 cone. It seems to me that, on average, they do better than blacks do.

Interesting blurb from Tony Pauline about the 2018 top QBs. He seems to be very high on Josh Allen out of Wyoming:

Looking Ahead

Sam Darnold has already been anointed the No. 1 pick of the 2018 draft and the next franchise signal caller.

New York Jets fans are already starting a “Suck for Sam” campaign, hoping the team tanks in 2017 in order to have the chance of acquiring Darnold in a little more than a year. This represents a foolish strategy in my opinion.

But if Darnold is the prized pick of the 2018 NFL Draft, Wyoming quarterback Josh Allen is not far behind.

I listed Allen as a Week 12 Riser back last December and mentioned that while I graded the redshirt sophomore as a second-round choice, I “unflinchingly believe he offers first-round potential down the road.”

After breaking down the Wyoming film this weekend, I firmly believe Allen would’ve competed to be the first signal caller off the board had he entered next month’s draft.

The size, release, arm strength and athleticism to make plays with his legs or arm is a more complete package than any signal caller I presently grade for the 2017 draft.

Some of the passes Allen made were just jaw-dropping. He consistently delivered the ball accurately through the tight spots with speed. Many of his 30- and 40-yard deep outs were right on the money. His poise, patience, accuracy and ability to find the open wide out were beyond impressive. He has big hands and had no problem gripping the ball in the cold of Wyoming. Part of the problem I saw was the lack of vertical speed from the Wyoming receivers, who could not run to Allen’s deep throws.

He was one of those prospects who was a joy to break down on film, but in the end I’m glad he returned to Wyoming for another season.

I thought Allen struggled down the home stretch, and the learning curve from being a one-year starter at Wyoming to an NFL first round pick would’ve been incredibly steep. Allen is losing his top three pass catchers from last season as well as Brian Hill, his top running back, and in my opinion that affords him a great opportunity.

So while some Jet fans hope their team “sucks for Sam,” I say don’t fret it-- the franchise would be just as well off by making Josh a Jet.

Sounds like Trubisky had a decent pro day but did not "wow". He's still in contention for the first QB taken. Of course weenieworld has to take a sarcastic shot at him and I am not too fond of the source making the comparison but I did not see any sort of remarks from Weenieworld when comparisons between the mulatto mahomes and Favre/Elway were being handing out.

ESPN's Todd McShay spoke with one personnel director who compared UNC QB Mitchell Trubisky to Aaron Rodgers coming out of Cal.

Yep. That happened. "The similarities: The quick release, the arm talent and the ability stay in balance while moving his feet," McShay writes, adding time went into Rodgers' development. First round quarterbacks aren't afforded that type of time anymore, but teams with established quarterbacks could be on the lookout in the first round in the hopes of planning for the future. Trubisky could be the first or the fourth quarterback off the board.


It also sounds like combine snub, senior bowl snub, east-west snub La Tech QB Ryan Higgins had a solid showing at his pro day as well.

From Pauline:

Louisiana Tech quarterback Ryan Higgins was a surprise winner today. His arm and accuracy were very impressive and several people said of Wiggins passes, “he could spin it.”

The story on Higgins? He was slated to start ahead of Jeff Driskel entering the 2015 campaign but suffered an injury late in camp. Driskel was given the job and Higgins rode the bench. Driskel was eventually selected in the sixth round of last April’s draft. While it’s unlikely Higgins is selected in the draft he is expected to sign a deal after the draft.

Nice reply from Trubisky on everyone who questioned why he could not beat out the black quarterback (racial apprenticeship). Love the kid's confidence!

When asked why he didn’t start over Marquise Williams, UNC QB Mitchell Trubisky said: "I felt like I won the job."

"I felt like I should have been the quarterback, but Coach [Larry] Fedora, it’s his decision, he did what he thought was best for the team," Trubisky said. "Even though I hated being a backup, as a competitor, I embraced my role. ... We won a lot of games with [Williams] and I thought if I was in there I could have done the same thing and maybe even better." Some see Trubisky's inability to unseat Williams as a red flag, others aren't as concerned by Fedora's deference to the veteran. As Yahoo reminded readers, Tom Brady once had problems beating out Drew Henson. Trubisky told the site that he has workouts scheduled with the Cleveland Browns, New York Jets, Kansas City Chiefs and Arizona Cardinals.


Weenieworld blurb on Michigan LB Ben Gedeon with some caste descriptions from NFL.com tribesman and caste whore Zierlien:

An NFC regional scout thinks Michigan LB Ben Gedeon might be getting overlooked.

"I thought he should have been in the Senior Bowl," the scout said. "He's consistent and I like his technique. If Jake Ryan could start at one point, I wouldn't be surprised if Gedeon doesn't get that chance too." Gedeon earned second-team All-Big Ten honors after leading the leads with 106 tackles last year. He added 15.5 TFL. "Gedeon has ample size and talent to become an NFL backup at middle linebacker, but his bread will be buttered as a special teams performer as he has the instincts and fearlessness needed to succeed in that area," NFL Media's Lance Zierlein wrote.

Some more pro day results from some lesser known prospects:


Duke:
Safety Corbin McCarthy (5-8 3/4, 208) ran the 40 in 4.41 and 4.42 seconds, had a 36-inch vertical, a 10-0 broad jump, a 4.18 short shuttle, and a 7.28-second three-cone. He's a projected free agent

Why the hell wasn't McCarthy a full time player on defense with that athleticism?

I could not find anything on Duke DT AJ Wolf.

Ashland TE Adam Shaheen had a good pro day and continues his rise through the "deep" (i.e. black) TE class

Boston College QB Patrick Towles had an amazing workout for a guy his size. He was not a bad QB at UK but when he transferred to BC that terrible offense they run did him no favors. They also refused to utilize his elite athleticism. This guy is more athletic than Scam and if he were black the workout he had would be causing a ton of buzz right now.

QB Patrick Towles (6-4 7/8, 241) ran the 40 in 4.58 and 4.54 seconds, had a 31.5-second vertical, a 4.37-second short shuttle, and a 7.32-second three-cone. Scouts wanted him to go through a tight end workout but the transfer from Kentucky declined, saying he wanted to be a quarterback.

Awesome times for both of those guys, great athletes! In a Sane world it'd be enough to get them drafted, in reality they probably won't. These workouts+ tape should help get them into summer camps though no doubt. Had no idea Towles could move like that! Also glad he wants to stick at QB! Knew McCarthy was a beast, despite being short, he's muscular and explosive! For what it's worth he was considered the strongest DB on Duke's team during his tenure there. He can play in the NFL, if given a chance like Bob Sanders or Matt Elam. 2 other short safeties with melanin that were allowed to grace the gridiron.

-UW Platteville WR and Track Star Dan Arnold (6'6 210) recorded a 39.5 inch vertical at Badgers pro day. Can't find a 40 for him but this guy is a freakish talent!

Not 100% sure but Arnold I believe ran a 4.55 40 yard dash. For some reason Tanner McEvoy comes to mind. McEvoy was converted to WR for the Seahawks but went undrafted yet due to his athletic versatility made the team in his rookie year. Who knows maybe Arnold could get drafted. Given his size and verticality I could see someone taking a chance on a guy who did not play against big time competition.

More positive pro day results for some of our guys.

My Analysis:

Hunter Dmick - Combine Snub/Senior Bowl snub and deemed an unathletic overachiever who produced in college because of a non-stop motor proved all the caste weenies wrong today. He is better than Nate Orchard who was a second round pick out of Utah a few years ago.

From Tony Pauline:

I’m hearing a lot of positive notes from the Utah's pro day, but the praise for Hunter Dimick has been deafening.

Dimick, who was a combine snub, measured 6030 and 268 pounds, completed 38 reps on the bench press and then ran as fast as 4.69s in the 40. He was then put through defensive line drills and also did a few drops into coverage.

During the March 13 edition of Monday Musings, I stated that I felt reasonably sure Dimick would play on Sundays. After today I feel the need to apologize to Hunter for underestimating him.


Pauline:

Linebacker Calvin Munson was a big winner and by all accounts looked terrific.

Munson timed anywhere from 4.68s to 4.75s in the 40, completed 25 reps on the bench and touched 32 inches in the vertical jump and 9-foot-9 in the broad. He looked very good in drills, especially moving laterally -- which has been his nemesis. The feeling leaving pro day is that Munson secured a spot in the late rounds.

My analysis:

In reality Munson was a beast during his career at SDSU. He was another combine/senior bowl snub who was kicked to the curb by the so called talent evaluators who decide who is invited to the premier events for college prospects. They are the last line of defense for the racial funneling prior to the draft.



My analysis:

Looks like another unheralded white D-lineman had a great workout and elevated his stock! Maine DT Pat Ricard had an insane pro day. I had not heard of him prior to today but it looks like he had a stellar career at FCS Maine. http://www.goblackbears.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=987

His 1.48 split is insane - I don't think I can recall any prospect having a time on a split like that.


Tony Pauline:

Maine

Underrated defensive line prospect Pat Ricard put on a show for scouts at the Maine pro day.

He measured 6033 and 300 pounds, completed 33 reps on the bench and touched 33.5 inches in the vertical jump. He timed 5.00 in the 40 (including an amazing 10-yard split of 1.48s according to the APT report), 4.50s in the short shuttle and 7.50s in the three-cone.

Ricard, who can line up as a tradition defensive tackle or a two-gap lineman, looked good in drills. The Washington Redskins and Miami Dolphins have scheduled private workouts with Ricard.

During the 2016 season I saw comparisons between the Cowboys and that movie Any Given Sunday (a movie I never saw but understand the premise of). People were calling Prescott the real Willie Beamon (the black QB character played by overrated "actor" Jamie Foxx). Essentially the veteran white QB is injured and replaced by a magical exciting negro QB with unlimited upside. On that note I have seen reports that the Chargers and Cardinals both with veteran white QBs are working out some of the overrated black QBs in this draft. I know it's just workouts and potentially smokescreen and that these QBs (Kizer and Mahomes) will ultimately fail but it's an important theme to follow in this draft especially with so many black QBs in the draft class and the Prescott situation last year.

I've noticed that theme running through a lot of the draft coverage I've watched on the NFL Network. A lot of talk of the need to draft the replacements for Rivers, Palmer, Manning, Brees and Roethlisberger, combined with segments on the "best under 25 quarterbacks" presently in the league, all of them of course allegedly being non-White -- Mariotta, Prescott, Winston, etc. You have to give the extreme anti-White left credit -- they define the word relentless -- they never give up and only pull back temporarily out of necessity after a setback only to regroup and come back even harder.

But the reality remains that Warren Moon is still the only black quarterback who had a long career. The others who had some success early on never maintained it and I don't see Newton and Winston being effective into their 30s. Wilson may, but he'll be a rare exception if that happens.

Yea it is such a machine the anti-white left has at it's disposal. It is hard to fight against it. Every year they try something different to sneak more black QBs onto rosters and it pisses me off. The only positive is guys like Smiff, Krapenick and the Gremlin are 2nd/3rd string or free agents. The building up of depth charts with black QBs is also worrisome. I know I sound like a broken record when it comes to black quarterbacks but it's the one position that is under constant attack these days as the leftists try to eradicate the white QB.

More pro day results:

Pat O'Connor was a combine and senior bowl snub. He performed well at EMU pro day and worked out at Michigan today and performed well.

Taysom Hill another snub - should of been a combine invite and senior bowl invite. Look below for his crazy workout numbers. He should be getting looks at DB or Rb! His age and injuries are his weakness though. Than again the cowboys drafted an lb with a shot knee in the 2nd round last year.

Hansen ran a 4.42!

Pauline analysis:

As we stated last week, Patrick O'Connor of Eastern Michigan took part in the pro day, running 4.78s in the 40. He participated in position drills along with the talented Wolverine prospects and looked very good.


Oft-injured quarterback Taysom Hill turned in an incredible workout. Hill measured a shade under 6-foot-2, tipped the scales at 221 pounds and then touched 38.5 inches in the vertical jump and reached 10-foot-2 in the broad jump. He then timed 4.44s in the 40.


Despite awful weather in which players are timing the 40 in the pouring rain, receiver Chad Hansen clocked as fast as 4.42s

UPDATE

I’m told the conditions were miserable for pro day and it rained harder as the workout progressed.

It was an up and down passing day for Davis Webb, though it was no fault of his own. Webb missed on a number of throws but as one person told me they asked him to throw NFL passes in conditions that were impossible. Another source on hand said if these were game time conditions no one would be asked to make those throws.

Some more typical caste BS - wanting to convert DT Ryan Glasgow to OL

DT Ryan Glasgow (6-3, 300) had 24 bench lifts and stood on the rest of his combine numbers. Some teams talked to him about switching to the offensive line, like his brother Graham, a starting guard for the Lions.

Here is an article on the Stanford Pro Day. The media is trying their best to place McCaffery as a slot WR by touting his recieving ability. Zach Hoffpauir did not participate which is a shame, I am not sure why. Dallas Lloyd had a great workout - ran a 4.45 40.

It sounds like McCaffery is hellbent on fighting the stereotypes and racial slotting - really rooting hard for him - he is challenging the caste system head on.

Thanks for those post w those Under-the-Radar prospects...Dallas Lloyd, Richie Brown , Calvin Munson, etc as Combine snubs are perplexing...they should carve their niche on a 53 man roster regardless! Glad to see Kade Harrington has healed up...referred to him as a poor man's Danny Woodhead a year ago with his video game stats his Junior season.

Not sure who this Cosell dude is...sounds like a Leftist liberal journalist.."McCaffrey is "Polarizing"? "But what's his fit"? impressed with the Comment section below...plenty of backlash...people are fed up or waking up!

McCaffrey is an absoulute sure thing. The guy does everything but he needs to stay at running back. I really like the
added size. It's looks like good weight and he needs to get his strength up for the longer nfl season. Christian will
be ready without a doubt. The kid is ready to go into beast mode to shut up all the haters. All he needs is for a team to
believe in him as a number 1 back. Then stand back and get out of the way as he makes sportscenter hilites all season long.

Thanks for those post w those Under-the-Radar prospects...Dallas Lloyd, Richie Brown , Calvin Munson, etc as Combine snubs are perplexing...they should carve their niche on a 53 man roster regardless! Glad to see Kade Harrington has healed up...referred to him as a poor man's Danny Woodhead a year ago with his video game stats his Junior season.

Not sure who this Cosell dude is...sounds like a Leftist liberal journalist.."McCaffrey is "Polarizing"? "But what's his fit"? impressed with the Comment section below...plenty of backlash...people are fed up or waking up!

Cossell is the nephew of the Howard Cosell who was before my time but in any of the older sports broadcasts/clips I have seen - he seemed to be a pretty annoying tribesman. In recent years Greg Cossell has become one of the annointed "experts". I honestly do not recall hearing about him until a few years ago (I have follwed the draft since 2004) but I guess he has been doing his "analysis" for awhile.
