Thanks Dolphin, good numbers from Berrios. Now my [CUBE] is complete. At the top S/CB Troy Apke and right behind him WR's Justin Watson and Dylan Cantrell and just under them is WR Braxton Berrios. These are the four most important players for me in this year's draft because none of them are...

Well Peyton Manning does not want to announce football games so both Fox for Thursday nights and ESPN for Monday nights are looking elsewhere. Apparently ESPN has moved McDonough ( who was decent) to college football to be replace by Joe Tessitore ( the boxing announcer). I have no idea where...

Although not official and we can only hope for the best, the miserable SEC conference just got even worse if that is all possible. Speedster Auburn slot WR Will Hastings whose role might have expanded in 2018 hurt his knee at spring practice. They think it might be his ACL. Talk about crap news.

The NFL is "tinkering" with new helmet shot rules. I have been advocating this for a while now but frankly they need to go further and like college football kick the offender out of the game. Nevertheless a step in the right direction. But vague. For instance that DB ******* sucker that speared...

For me the draft line plays a huge role in the caste shadow. Free agency reeks of back door, back of the bus, the little engine that could stuff that has relegated white skill players into second class citizens but being drafted resonates down the line for college recruitment. If say ten white...

Below are the results from the Iowa pro day. WR Matt VandeBerg put up decent numbers 4.53 40, 4.04 shuttle, 37" vertical but there is little chance he gets drafted. At least he played on Saturdays which is more than I can say for the many teams who are allergic to having white WR's. LB Ben...

Just to follow up on the Duke talk. First Grayson Allen. From a fairy tale ending to a freshman season, early on in his sophomore year it looked as if Allen would be a top 10 NBA pick. No need to go over his history ( he suffered through a lot of injuries last season) but leap forward to this...

Yes Donte D had two great rim rattling drunks. He pitched in 8 rebounds but it was a tough game. TT had that long "athletic" thing going for them but thankfully the Final Four will be acceptable. And that is unusual. Usually there are caste teams littering the Final Four or at least two of the...

Bull's-eye Free!! Just need Villanova to take care of business and the usual caste narrative will take a hit. That Sister Jean from Loyola is 98 and she has all her marbles. I think she pitches in with the coaches. Ha. And KY getting bounced is true justice.

Sam Hubbard excelled in all the drills that pertain to a DE. He showed top flight agility and explosion as evidenced by his 35 inch vertical which is a lot for someone with his mass. His running style is very smooth. And watching him run the 40 the thought that occurred to me was you don't want...

As expected the underwear Olympics committee has Sam Hubbard sliding into the second round after his 40 yard dash. He could still go in the first but at the end of the day whoever gets him (rumors swirling around Titans, Panthers, Patriots and Lions) are getting a football player. Not some...

Updates on pro days etc. Sam Hubbard ran a 4.88 40 yet Gil Brandt (what a prick) found it necessary to put out high 4.9 numbers. At the end of the day what the hell difference does it make what a DE runs in the 40 yard dash anyway? JJ Watt ran it in the 4.9's and he looks as quick as a big cat...

It is possible only one white offensive skill player gets chosen and of course that would be a disaster beyond repair. But if only one WR was chosen all signs point to Trey Quinn. He is the closest to a lock out there. Braxton Berrios who has a pro day on the 28th is considered fringe which...

Interesting tidbit that links Justin Watson and Troy Apke. They are BOTH represented by a small agency known as JL Sports. This firm is representing 13 players for the upcoming draft. Most of them are no names. This agency does have a few clients currently playing in the NFL but they are no...

Well said. A few years back I figured Wilson would become one of the best deep threat TE's going but Seattle never had any interest in pursuing that angle. Last season they picked up over the hill Jimmy Graham to no avail. Now the Packers foolishly signed Graham who looks very slow and...

To follow up a few things. Sure Tannehill do as you please. Thinking about players like Michael Vick they take the role of the "outlaw." The macho romantic figure (think Clint Eastwood westerns) who doesn't have to play by the rules. In football the play breaks down and outside of any playbook...

A special teams player? A back up safety who might emerge as a starter in a year or two? Not the type of player that comes to mind when it comes to a first priority. Nevertheless it shouldn't come as a surprise that the most IMPORTANT player for me in this draft is who else TROY APKE. No he...

Before I get to Apke in a separate post there is no question Lamar Jackson will be a focal point in this draft. One note on the scarcity of pro day results. They are constantly being updated at walterfootball. Probably not comprehensive but to answer questions above about where to find results...

The two NFL Combine snubs that readily come to mind were WR Justin Watson and Hybrid DE/LB Joe Ostman. Ostman had a decent workout see above but I haven't charted his draft "progress" yet. I suspect late round or the dreaded FA. Watson on the other hand is a perfect example of why the lack of...
