Bleeding Bills Blue Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 It's odd because he does seem to make quick decisions on the field. But he better kill his interview for anyone to use a high pick on him at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An a-hXXe can be anyone between 1-50 on the Wonderlich. Sorry to confuse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mean to single out Kelly and Marino, but they are two HOFers often mentioned in the low wonderlic discussions. And yeah, nobody ever confused them with keen intellects so I don't think much was expected in that department, lol. But they could break down a defense and expound on various defensive concepts and why certain offensive schemes may work against them during the interview process in their draft years. That's all that matters to teams and I'm concerned about the reports of Jackson's poor performance along those lines in his various interviews so far.

H2o Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 I took a practice version on my lagging phone and still got a 31. I bet it wasted 2 minutes of my time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No worries. 26CP mentioned Dan Marino, but failed to include Jim Kelley. If you lived through the late 70's and early 80's at the right age you would understand the mentality I spoke of. I really don't think they gave a crap. I wonder what Terry Bradshaw's # was. Talk about a good old country boy. in today's Social Awareness world much and more matters 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloSol Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Well lamars is not as bad as Vince Youngs first test of 6 or Jeff George's 10. Lamar was dumb not to get an agent, probably would have made him study harder, even a couple more points would have made a difference in perception. I think Vince Young got a 14 eventually. Side note does anyone know what leodis Mckelvin had as a wunderlich, no way it could have been to high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virgil Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Why do I feel like Allen is either going to go #1 overall or drop out of the top 15. This kid's offseason is something to behold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freddie's Dead Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 The Wonderlic ain't easy. Try taking one sometime and see how you do. Props to anyone who got 30 or higher, you got serious gray matter. 20-29 aren't slouches either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have ever taken it you can tell it does measure intelligence plus brain processing speed. It is not the end all for a player but, it's definitely not helping Lamar. 7 minutes ago, thebandit27 said: First time I took it I got a 44 What field do you work in?

Do we have any more relevant comparisons than two guys drafted 35 years ago? The very fact prospects today know teams put stock in this, and they have the ability to prepare for it, tells me a lot about a player if he does poorly. I wouldn't draft a guy who showed up to the combine fat and out of shape no matter what he did in college, just as I wouldn't draft a QB who bombed the test when he knew it was coming.

D. L. Hot-Flamethrower Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 I heard them talking on NFL radio about Will Hernandez the guard, not doing so swell on it; and there being worries about his ability to process. FWIW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floydboy12 Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 I've been thinking the Bills should stay put and take Jackson at 12. I don't think the other 4 will be there. But that score would make me take him off the board. Think now the Bills have to at least get to 6. Otherwise let's hope Edmunds or the Georgia LB are still there at 12 and shoot for a Lauletta type in Rd 2 or 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
