Percy Harvin is 184 at 5'11, which is kind of who Maehl reminded me of, with a little less top end speed. His agility also reminded me of Eric Peterman who was screwed, he didn't have the hands of Maehl, he was more of a body catcher, but there are tons of receivers in the NFL with worse. Cobb...
I have seen Cobb play, there is no way he is going to win out anything but the last receiver spot, at least in his first year. I think he will be like Robert Meachem, just the mental aspect of the game. It took Meachem 4 years to learn the playbook. Cobb is at a disadvantage because of the...
The players drafted aren't a lock to make the team, especially after round one, so I wouldn't be too worried. I am familiar with Ridley and he seems like the more likely pick, a guy that gets 2 to 3 short yardage carries a game, although they picked him way too early. Vereen, the more I watch...
From what I have read over the years, the GM seems to like white players, and its the exact opposite with Smith. So he finds a way to bring them in, and Lovie never plays him. I remember reading that he expected Steltz to be the first string FS last year, a few weeks later demoted to 3rd string...
Ridley has the agility of a 280 pound fullback, stuck in the body of a 225 pound back. He could run over people in college but that won't work in the pros.
that is depressing, i would have rather them gone with Ingram. Vereen is like a a very very poor man's Woodhead, and they were already talking about how he could replace Faulk's role. I don't even think he has the skillset to be as good as Kevin Faulk. Where does that leave Woodhead who was a...
yes the rumors spread didn't help. Most of the teams that needed quarterbacks picked one. Stupid that the 49ers decided that Colin would be better. I think the Cardinals might pick up a qb, im not sure if they have yet
I mean hes one of the top qb prospects, yeah he had a slow 40 yard time but...
thats good to know.
Its kind of sad that Mallet is falling this far over a few rumors about drug use. He openly admitted it in the interviews, meanwhile the other guys that are going higher, lied about it and failed drug tests. Which player would you rather? He is one of the top quarterbacks...
Kind of worried about the Rudolph pick, they have Shiancoe who has been considered a "star", so Rudolph will probably have to play second fiddle. They said they plan on running more 2 and 3 tight end sets so maybe it wont be so bad. Hopefully that also means they they will run most of the game...
Cushing would probably be an ILB, hed be better suited for the middle anyway. It still allows for versatility, you could have Reed or Carwin drop back in coverage with Cushing rushing instead.
what a horrible pick by the 49er's, Kaepernick sucks, overrated, helped by his backs. Is Harbaugh even making the final decisions for the draft? The guy basically is a really poor man's Tebow, the guys mechanics are worse than Tebow's coming out, except Tebow worked on it. Colin is also thin...
Saints might pick Rudolph. Payton loves tight ends. He is the complete package with blocking and receiving. They just drafted Jimmy Graham but he is just a wide receiver, he can't block. They also have Dave Thomas who has done well when used as receiving threat, but could still use another tight...
Akili Smith was picked behind Tim Couch and cried racism and that he would come back every year to prove that pick wrong. And yes it was because he was white because McNabb was picked number 2 and he didn't have a problem with the Eagles taking McNabb over him. Tim Couch actually wasn't as bad...
Well the Patriots were smart, traded back with the Saints so they could get Ingram, who has the same exact skillset as the guy already on their roster, Pierre Thomas. It would be funny to see Thomas actually stay healthy the entire year and outperform him.
I just hope the Patriots don't wind up taking Ingram. For some reason every mock has them taking him at 28. I didn't think it was possible with Bellicheck but still worried, thought the Dolphins or the Saints wouldve picked him.
There are plenty of white receivers for the Browns to choose from! Kris Durham can stretch the field. Could you imagine him and Evan Moore, two tall white guys that can stretch the field? probably would be hard to pull off with having a white rb, buts its the best way to get an above average...
The Browns need a right tackle, and a right guard, and at least one receiver. At least they traded back in the draft for more picks, but Taylor has bones growing together in his feet, can't be fixed with surgery, just have to deal with the pain over time. Luckily with the hyping of sumos there...
Its pretty sad that they openly admit that there are ONLY TWO shut down corners in the NFL, Revis and Nnamdi, yet they never mention why whites are shut out of the position, guys like Eric Weddle. Prince goes in the first where he doesn't belong. The pressure that Nebraska gets on the front 7...
What a smart pick by the Patriots. Nate Solder, many had doubts about him saying he was too tall. Former basketball player and tight end, very athletic. He has the most upside out of all the tackles. Not Tyron Smith, who just bulked up from 280 after the season. Cowboys will continue to leave...
looks like Leslie Frazier isn't a TOTAL racist, he realizes he can't win with Joe Webb or any other affletic qb on the roster, picks up Christian Ponder, underrated qb., Thats 4 whites in the top 15 so far, pretty decent considering some other years.
Yes, Gabbert to the Jaguars. Hopefully they let him replace Garrard captain check down right away.
as soon as i typed that they are talking about how he is going to get to sit and learn behind David Garrard. What can David teach him? if the first read isn't there dump it off to Maurice or...
it's sad there is no reason why Shipley can't play the outside. Hes 6 foot, runs a 4.5. Not every offense is designed like the Patriots where the slot guy gets that many touches. Welker is the number 1 option on many passing plays, mainly the screens of course. So far the Bengals offense hasn't...
