Who cares what your 40 speed is or high how you can jump its a matter how you translated that speed and agilities on the field. Its done. Whatever it is its done.
Unless I misinterpreted this statement by Euphoria, I see him talking about draft boards being set this time of year (granted he didn't say 3 april but this is the topic imo). At the end of the statement he writes, "It's done. Whatever it is it's done." I take that as saying teams know right now (Apr 3) without any debate who they are selecting on 26 and 27 april. I am just saying there is still alot of hands-on evaluation that are to take place so to say these teams are locked into a pick is a little far-fetched.

Thanks for the post papz.

I think I said something similar to that but don't think word for word. And I say that I don't think the that teams boards change all that much. The reason being if you go to the past drafts and look at some of the Mocks early after the season and then on draft day there wasn't much change. If you see them through out that period there was a lot of up and down movements.

I strongly feel teams are pretty much locked in now what they want and who they want. Its just a matter of will that player be there when they pick.

THe media such as Kiper and other outlets all change and make adjustments... why??? well I'll tell ya. To get goobers like us to read and buy more... post more so they can show there advertisers "look viewers", advertise here with us.

There isn't anything more they can get from a player that hasn't already been documented and they have been compiling the info for a long time its done they know there boards and preparing senieros on what might happen before they pick but they know. They are locked.

This is mostly pre-draft and media crap hype.

Re: Will Rivers move up the board?

Unless a dt falls which I'm not sure about taking one this high, because of alot of failures in the top 10. Rivers is the best pick with a deep class of cb's and the ones we already have. I think with the improvement of de depth and the new lb's (even better with Rivers) the Dbs will be better and the defense downright scary.
