HaHa, Yes, I havent seen @Crap Throwing Clavin here since he got sick. Hope he ok. Just getting over a nasty 2 day long virus here of some sort. Started with a raw feeling throat and turned into chest congestion and nearly 103 temps. Nasty nasty stuff!

I think he made an appearance to slap Billycheat (as well he should).

Field Yates and Mel Kiper Jr. analyze this year's stacked wide receiver class as they break down their top-ten players on their big boards. Who is the next Calvin Johnson? How high can Rome Odunze climb? All this and more on this episode of First Draft.

28. Buffalo Bills: Jer’Zhan Newton, DT, Illinois

Newton would give Buffalo a young DT with enough anchor to keep linemen off of Matt Milano, when he’s healthy. Newton actually could be drafted much higher than the late 20s — he ranked fifth in run stuffs and fourth in sacks among DTs.

I can't tell if that dude is super fast, or he just looks that fast relative to the slow dudes around him. On some of these runs after the catch he looks like he has that little button on Mario Bros that boosts the shit out of your vehicle.

His 40 speed (4.35) is nuts for someone 6'3.

if a guy that fast is not a top 10 lock, something important is missing from his game

Not really.

 

• Tyreek Hill (drafted 165th overall; 4.29)

• Stefon Diggs (drafted 146th overall; 4.46)
• AJ Brown (drafted 51st overall; 4.49)

At the time drafted, everyone of those guys had some serious question about making it in the NFL.

these guys worked thru the flaws and made it big

 

for each one of these successes, there are 10 really fast guys drafted in the 1st round due to their speed that busted.

 

speed alone does not come close to guaranteeing the player will produce in the NFL

Who said anything to the contrary? My comment was that at 6'3, 4.35 is impressive as hell. That was it. Not that I think we should get him. Not that I think he'll be a HOFer. Just that he's got impressive size and speed.

 

Goal posts seem to be moving here.
