2018 NFL Draft

[Extra Point]

The Bears got their franchise quarterback in Mitch Trubisky. Their next step should be to give him some help on offense.

The Bears need help at tackle. A player they should target is Mike McGlinchey. They could take him at 8 or trade down and possibly get him. I think that would fill their hole at tackle.

 

[Don Wassall]

Here's a couple new highlights videos of Ryan Nall. The first one is 2017 highlights, the second one, which I like better, is '16-'17 highlights. Anyone who thinks Nall should be a "fullback" or "H-back" in the NFL is either insane or is totally blinded by anti-White hatred and bigotry.

 

[TwentyTwo]

White athlete's being pigeon-holed over the years is mind numbing! It had gotten beyond OLD! Ryan Nall is NOTHING like Mike Alstott except the color of his skin! Nall needs to take a nasty (but quiet) attitude with him to the Combine & Summer Camp!

Kyle Williams has been one the Best DT's/NG's in the NFL for years....
If ole Petey tries to Draft Harrison Phillips you can bet he will do his best to switch him to the O-Line...he needs to say "No way" to anybody considering that foolishness!

Mike Mayock is raving over the former Walk-on Leighton Vander Esch
Get to know Leighton Vander Esch. Asked Mayock if there’s a guy he’s smitten with after weeks of tape study. “The Boise linebacker, Leighton Vander Esch,” he answered right away. “I haven’t watched much of him. I have only seen two tapes so far; that’s the caveat. But I could make the argument that his tape against Oregon [in the Las Vegas Bowl] was as good an off-the-ball-linebacker tape as I’ve seen in five years. Key for him at the combine: Over/under 4.65 in the 40. I am anxious to see what he runs.”

I was not born yesterday and it is obvious posts are way down the last month. Not sure how to pick up the pace. Free lollipops, pep talks or how about none of the above. Ha.

I might be out of action for a stretch, will find out tomorrow but just wanted to give my jaundiced pre combine non pep talk and I apologize in advance for the negativity.

I have NEVER been happy with the results of an NFL Combine. Sure at times the flowers push through among the weeds but generally I hate the world after every one of these damn things. Look for this one to be no different. As usual the combine is full of ringers (black track athletes) that will surely put up "eye popping" 40 yard dash times. And once again we will have to suffer through the nauseatingly drooling analysts and reporters as they get all hyper and crazy and deranged over their LOVE of certain black players. Basically the same old homo erotic pitched fever we have come to hate.

It takes a masochist to weather this event every year but there is always the prospect of hope and I still cling to it with my last breath.
The key as always is the 40 yard dash and the importance of white players running very swift times. But usually in general their times disappoint. But as I stated above flowers can grow in the cracks of concrete and we just have to hope like hell that at least a few white players dazzle in the 40. It is not like it has never happened before.

Even the powers to be started to understand how this event was becoming too obviously a showcase for the black players than anything else. That said a lot of blacks put up pedestrian numbers but like Dolphin mentioned in a post back when the sheer number of black participants guarantee some top flight 40 yard dash numbers etc. Converesly there are always too few white players to make any significant marks. That Rich Eisen 40 yard dash ordeal was originally intended to make fun of white people but they have tried to cover that up a bit by hitching a charity to his annual 40 yard dash "run" for want of a better word.

A quick primer, which most of you might know already, to this annual caste fiasco, an event that feeds the caste beast.

There is a weird bookend feeling this year. On Friday (OL, ST,RB's) the lone player of import is Ryan Nall and on Monday the final day there is only Troy Apke among the DB's. Punters may or may not run on Friday but sometimes there is a punter who will run a 4.5 40 yard dash which at this point I will take any crumb thrown my way.

The HUGE day is Saturday where the TE's, WR's and QB's workout. I hazard to guess there is more potential than usual here but the proof will be in the pudding.

Sunday the LB's and DL workout and there will be a way too small but multiple contingent to follow closely.

I won't only be hoping for the best. I will be praying to God that the white players of import put up great performances.

Shadowlight, I hope you aren't out of action very long.

Personally the draft has become a little too predictable for me. I have followed it pretty closely since 2004 and I can tell you that the same trends and patterns exist now that existed 14 years ago. The combine - it is a relatively useless exercise that has been co-opted by the caste media to push an obvious agenda. All of the talking heads repeat the same lines year in and year out. Their will be a bunch of hype around black players who run fast 40s that we never hear from again. No one is every overly-critical of the combine from an analyst standpoint - this sequence will be repeated ad nauseam once the combine starts up: whatever different event they are covering - if a no name black player overperforms - the analyst (at least Mike Mayock) will say that he has to go revisit the game tape on the player and if the player underperforms he will state that it is not that important since they showed productivity on the field. Mayock will constantly say that the combine is "part of the process".

I would personally love for someone covering the combine to actually show how many players with fast 40 times amounted to nothing in the NFL, how many long armed sumos flopped in the league, how many players with very good broad jumps never made an impact etc. Do some actual research and analysis to show how meaningless the combine really is. It won't happen though because that actually takes some time, effort and energy. We all know that the GMs, personnel people, scouts, draft "Experts", DWFs all speak in the same tired cliches year in and year out because they are all lazy and have totally bought into the farce that is the caste system.

Conversely, white athletes have to perform very well at the combine in order to prove their "worthiness" to play at the next level. From weigh-ins to forty times to the vertical jump - white players need to put up very good numbers or getting drafted becomes that much harder. Production and game film be damned for all white players. Even if they do perform very well they are never treated with 1% of the adulation that the chosen affletes get.

Hopefully Dylan runs a fast 40 time. Will each year now feature a new "Cooper Kupp type," meaning a White receiver who has a chance to contribute right away?

FOX Sports writer thinks Dylan Cantrell is ‘this draft’s Cooper Kupp’

If you’re an undersized wide receiver entering the draft, one of the guys you definitely want to be compared to is Cooper Kupp.

Kupp was drafted in the third round of the 2017 NFL Draft, and went on to have a solid rookie year for the Los Angeles Rams, catching 62 passes for 869 yards and five touchdowns. This year’s Cooper Kupp? Fox Sports’ Peter Schrager thinks that it’s Texas Tech’s Dylan Cantrell.


✔@gmfb

Last year, Cooper Kupp was @pschrags “guy." This year? Ladies and gentlemen, get to know the super-human, slam-dunking @TexasTechFB WR Dylan Cantrell @dylancantrell14

“No one’s talking about him right now,” said Schrager. “He’s going to run a 4.4 40 (yard dash) at the combine, watch him have an 11 foot broad jump. He is an über athlete freak. Kliff Kingsbury, one of the most well-respected minds in all of college football, and could probably be an offensive coordinator in the NFL, has had Trent Taylor and all these other guys, and he raves about Dylan Cantrell.”

Cantrell’s athleticism has been well known around Big 12 defenses for quite some time. He caught 71 passes for 816 yards and seven touchdowns as a senior, and has 1,873 receiving yards and 18 touchdowns all-time. Time will tell whether his NFL career is as successful as Kupp’s, but Cantrell definitely has the skill set to be successful at the next level.

[Leonardfan]

Cantrell is not undersized - he is listed at 6'3" 205lbs - gotta love the expert "analysis".

 

[Don Wassall]

Kupp's big too at 6'2", so "undersized" must be his euphemism for "White."

 

[CrazyFinn]

I recall a piece some years ago referring to Mark Mariani, listed at 6-1/190 as a "smurf" and a "midget". It might have been that odious SI writer (((Peter King))), not sure. In any event, insulting and disrespecting white players as "undersized" or "small" even though they are not by any standard is part of the same boilerplate that routinely mocks white athletes as "deceptively" this or "sneaky" that.

There are and have been countless black players in the 5-8 to 5-10 range, anywhere from 180-200 lbs, whom you could legitimately call a "smaller" player or undersized, yet I've never heard it in all my years of watching football.

 

[link]

100% black players get away with being smaller than whites. Tolbert is 5"9 at fullback good luck if he was white no chance. Wilson at 5"11 is another Mayfield at 6"1 will be struggling for a first round pick.

 

[Extra Point]

Richmond quarterback Kyle Lauletta may have an NFL career ahead of him.

Here's an analyst that has a high third round grade on him.

Shadowlight, I hope whatever is going on with you works out. Your posts are always interesting.

 

[Deceptive Speed]

Its been a min since my last post lol. This years Combine is about to start, and I'm nervous how many of our guys will get screwed because of a slightly high 40 etc.

All of our skill guys need to test well, but 2 in particular face a make or break situation at this combine. Im not too worried about Quinn, Berrios, and Wieneke they can afford an average combine.

This Combine is huge particularly for RB Ryan Nall and WR Dylan Cantrell, who have to test good or they will be forced to change positions, and likely never see an NFL field. Nall to FB and Cantrell to TE, though their starting calibre NFL players at their natural positions. Nall has the potential to be the next Peyton Hillis, while Cantrell looks like a stronger Eric Decker!

 

[Leonardfan]

The combine measurements are starting to come in. Still waiting to see any of these supposed experts bring up a list of long armed sumos to see how many have been flat out busts.

 

[Shadowlight]

Touching down on planet earth for at least a little while --"everything is up in the air" they say. Great. Trying to get a straight answer out of anyone these days is nearly impossible.

Well what I call the "pecker size" portion of the NFL Combine Olympics are under way at the combine as the WR's TE's and QB's have all been measured down to an 8th an inch. Cripes the queer geek desk twerps have (for some time) taken over the NFL Draft process. Long limbed black dudes with orangutan arm lengths and the geek patrol (NFL media) goes bonkers.

Why don't these ******** just look at the tapes?

To be honest I wouldn't put it past these fruit cups that they would also like to include "dick" size measurements. From what I have seen I think they are more interested in THAT. Good grief.

 

[Leonardfan]

Gruden's criticisms of how the game has changed have been enjoyable to watch. Some of his broadcasting viewpoints have followed him back to the NFL. I'm not really holding my breath but it would be nice to see him become a little more white friendly this time around. It does sound like he wants a blocking FB and Blocking TE - two typically white positions.

Some weenieworld cucky analysis about their beloved black quarterback eraserhead:

Louisville QB Lamar Jackson arrived at the NFL Combine at 6-foot-2 1/4-inches tall, weighed 216 pounds and has 9 1/2-inch hands.

Jackson is almost identical to Andy Dalton in size. Therefore we can't wait to see Dalton line up as a receiver. Jackson, who decided against hiring an agent, seems prepared to throw for the first time during this draft process. Jackson also has 33 1/8-inch arms and a wingspan of 77 5/8-inches. We look forward to him proving many doubters wrong, now and in the future.

 

[Leonardfan]

The Long Armed Bench Press excuse is beginning its annual appearance:

Oklahoma T Orlando Brown unofficially recorded 14 reps on the bench press at the NFL Scouting Combine.

Well that went haywire. All the more disappointing for the fact that Brown measured in with one of the most robust profiles of any player at the combine, landing at 6-foot-7 7/8 inches and 345 pounds. He also has 35-inch arms and an 85 1/8-inch wingspan. To be at least somewhat fair to that low number of reps, prospects with longer arms can have issues with the bench. Rotoworld's Thor Nystrom ranks Brown as the No. 2 tackle prospect in the 2018 class.

That has to be one of the most nonsensical, idiotic things ever written.

 

[Leonardfan]

Don,

That was weenieworlds' attempt at humor. Bill Polian stated last week that due to his size - Lamar Jackson should be a WR. Weenieworld thought it would be funny to make fun of Polian by this swing and a miss attempt at humor.

 

[Don Wassall]

I understand the reference and the attempt at humor. It's an idiotic statement as a strong argument can be made that Jackson should convert to WR.

I also like the "we look forward to him proving his many doubters wrong" bit. Do the Weenieworld nerds yearn to be part of his posse?

 

[celticdb15]

All these analyst getting butthurt because people are aware that Jackson is a one trick pony who can only run and plays in a gimmicky spread offense! Those are legit knocks on their latest "superhero" prospect that they just can't accept. Let's be honest, from hearing the goon speak, I doubt he intellectually has what it takes to lead an NFL offense.

 

[Leonardfan]

Looks like the sumo Orlando Brown is having a bad combine. Mayock has been preaching about teams needing to love the tape on him because the "analytics" aren't lining up on him.

 

[FootballDad]

I really haven't been paying much attention to college football the last couple of years, to be sure. I'm seeing a dizzying amount of hype for Sasquatch....errr, Saquon Barkley from Penn State. Scouts and other droolers are breathlessly proclaiming him to be the best player in any draft in the last 10 years.(!) I have no idea if he's the second coming or not, what are his chances of being the next bust of the century (after Ryan Leaf, Brian Bosworth and all of those cracka busts thrust in our faces year after year)?

 

[Matt Prater]

He is a very good player but he has about as much potential in the NFL as Reggie Bush. He is strong and fast but is not in the elusive class like a C-Mac and will struggle against NFl linebackers.
