Reggie Ragland, Junior Joseph, the legend of Jeff Luc, Jordan Zumwalt, Kentrell Brothers.

 

My man-crush record at ILB isn't great. Turns out nobody else loves ultra-violence.

 

I'm not gonna lie; my first thought was of Rags and Kentrell :lol:

 

Hey, those guys have spots in the NFL, even if they're not "3-down" players in today's schemes.

Darnold did enough to solidify his spot at 1. A big day by Allen on Fri could change it but right now Darnold and Rosen will be the 2 top QB's in the draft. Allen has the ability to put on a show though so tune in Fri at 2pm and we might see some fireworks

Looked like darnold cleaned up his throwing motion. Looked a lot better. He mightve just locked up the first pick

Kept 2 hands on the ball instead of holding with 1 hand and dropping the ball low. That was the big change

"Running back Mike Boone, a one-time highly rated prospect whose development was slowed by injury, timed 4.45s in the forty, touched 42 inches in the vertical jump, 11-feet-7-inches in the broad jump "

 

Dude is explosive!   42 inch vertical and that broad Jump.  Damn!!

The numbers are impressive, but how does he translate that on the field is the question.

Looks like he was off to a promising start his freshman and sophomore years and thas been plagued with injuries ever since.

Why are pro days still a thing people care about?

Just another opportunity to see the player up close and in person and verify what you have already seen (or didn't see) from the tape. Also an opportunity to talk to the player. As Beane said he only had 15 min with them the combine. This is the next opportunity at the pro day and then if you like what you see you bring then in for a private workout and take them out to dinner. The Bills haven't been sending a big group to the pro days so they seem to put more stock in the private workout

Could be  a steal for some team.

Players also work on deficiencies in their game and often use Pro Day to show progress.

No one should put any stock in the pro day. 


Scripted throws they've been practising for weeks against no defense and some people legitimately seem to think they matter. 

 

I think they'd absurd.

They seem to be putting a lot of stock in Sam Darnold's. People are saying he solidified his spot at 1. Also took the opportunity to show how he has been working on keeping 2 hands on the ball and teams will like that

Again - why does a scripted workout against no defense without pads matter.

 

Year after year we hear about how guys fixed something at their pro day, then they get to the NFL and they always revert back to their old ways.

Just FYI, a few folks I know in the business disagree with you.  They like to see how QBs challenge (or don't challenge) themselves at their pro days, how well they script it to show off what they're good at, and how they script it to show that they can do the things that they've been knocked for not being able to do.

 

Moreover, they like to see how QBs perform when they're at their most comfortable; it's basically a contrast to the combine, when guys have to perform with WRs they've never thrown to, in an unfamiliar environment, after days of being poked and prodded and questioned to no end.

Cool.

 

I don't think pro days matter at all. Running around in shorts with no defense has zero impact on how a guy actually plays football against real competition. 

 

Pro days are an opportunity to sucker in stupid scouts who fall in love with physical attributes.

If they didn't matter NFL teams wouldn't have owners, GMs, front office personnel, and coaches attending.

You really think that some team is going to draft QB2 vs. QB3 because another team likes QB3 better?

If anyone has a chance to fix what is the fatal flaw in his game, it’s Palmer.   He claims he’s done it, but that would border on miraculous. We’ll see!

Teams influence teams around them all of the time.  It’s painfully common place.  These things that “leak” at the oddest of times...   yea, that’s done intentionally, in hopes players drop.
