But I think he's gonna get passed by for one of the other top 2 guys. No chance at all. He has nothing to gain from combine or workouts. He is cemented as the top WR on the board, generational talent. It is not worth the injury risk to workout when he across the board believed to be going in the top 5. This is not unusual on a prospect graded this high. His stock cannot go any higher than it is, it can only go down. If he was my client, I wouldn't let him workout either. 16 minutes ago, mannc said: OK. When was he timed in the 40 and what was his time?

YoloinOhio Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 (edited) Marv basically had his pro day last year. All the teams were here to see stroud and he was throwing to Marv. There is no QB he has ever caught a pass from here anymore to throw to him. His qb from this past year transferred already. He could run, but no reason to. 1 hour ago, T master said: Man i'm sure he is a great player i haven't seen any thing of him just his old man but actions speak louder than words !! If that be the fact in this case cancelling both of his showings that in some way indicates to me that he is saying "I am that good & don't need to show you any more" which could be translated into DIVA !! I hope i'm wrong and that he just has a good grasp on it all & like i've heard from some that he would rather be getting ready for the NFL season that lies ahead rather than what i have stated . But if mommy, Daddy, Coaches, & NFL scouts have told him for how ever long they have been that he is the best man i hop that's not a huge red flag ! Remember Kellen Winslow the second ?? Just a thought . He’s really the furthest thing from a diva. His approach has been to train for the nfl season. Not the draft evals. So that he’s ready as possible to go day 1 as a rookie. A lot of rookie WRs don’t have their first real offseason of nfl training until year 2. He’s starting now.

Yeah, thats fair, I am only commenting on why he shouldn't workout since he can't really improve his draft stock. While he is probably the most hyped in past 10 years, I actually don't think he is any safer of a pick to be an elite WR1 in the NFL than Nabers or Odunze.

The Giants connection at 6 would make a lot of sense and likely a fair deal If he starts limping when seen around town, combined with no workouts maybe the Bills wouldn't have to move up as far.

The Giants connection at 6 would make a lot of sense and likely a fair deal Just curious: What do you believe it would take to trade up from #28 to #4 in the first round? IIRC, in 2018, pre-draft, the Bills owned their own #1 pick (#22) and KC's #1 pick in the 1st round. They also had 2 2nd round picks (their own, and LA Rams) Pre draft, the Bills traded Cordy Glenn to Cinncinnati to move up from #21 to #12. So starting LT for 9 spots. During the draft, they traded pick #12 AND both 2nd round picks to move up from #12 to #7 (Bills got back a late 7th) from Tampa. So 2 2nd round picks to move up 5 spots. So to go from #21 to #7 cost a former pro-bowl LT still playing at a high level, and 2 2nd round picks. Now you want them to go from #28 to #4, so what would that take?

Well that kind of work ethic & fore thought is more than likely what got him to this spot to be drafted first over all I'm glad he is that guy rather than the other guy . Marvin must have done a great job keeping him grounded !! I thought Winslow II was going to be a great player but it bit him bad which really stinks because the potential was there for him to be a great player like his dad but he couldn't get out of his own way .

What he’s put on “tape” over the course of his career along with his medicals are the only thing that matters at this point. The scouting is long over for MHJ. The only thing that might be a concern for a team is how he does in his meetings and the football acumen he demonstrates at those meetings.

I like your take on MHJr. I don’t know if i exactly agree 100. But I like someone who has a different opinion. And I hate how much hype some of these guys get before even getting drafted. We smoked him and his overrated Buckeyes the past 3 years. He certainly did not dominate us. And who really knows how great he will be in the pros. Act like you care.

We're not sniffing anywhere near him. We'd be lucky to be able to get to Brian Thomas Jr. As I've said before - we interviewed every Top WR Prospect at the Combine. We didn't even bother to do so with Marvin Harrison Jr., Malik Nabers, or Rome Odunze. And for good reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
