Okay, Papz, that was pretty cool...

Guess your crushing on the LSU Prospect?

That was a nice video, but I do have some problems with how that program sometimes manipulates the data they gather about the players.

For example, they use the measurement of his vertical leap in a short and a t-shirt to make a direct correlation of how high Mingo can leap during a game to deflect a pass in full gear and potential added fatigue. And measuring his reaction time to the pass isn't exactly "real-world" applicable, since he is fully aware that the pass is eventually coming his way and that he is in its direct trajectory.

But I do enjoy those videos just the same, one just has to take their measurements and conclusions with a grain of salt.

How does not signing Nnamdi affect the big board?

Excellent question. I'd imagine it doesn't affect it too much since we focus on BPA more so than need, but I'm sure we do factor need into our ratings to some degree.

Xavier Rhodes may have been upgraded a 1/2 grade, but I still think we're OK with what we have.

Had we signed NnumbNnuts I think it would have eliminated CB from the 1st 3 rounds.

I'm pretty open with the pick now with the Butler and Lewis signing. I do like him though and just passing along some more info since he's been talked about quite a bit here. The numbers at the end how he stacked up against JPP and the other two high boom bust players(Ansah/Jordan) was pretty interesting.

That comparison was for Cameron Jordan and not Dion, which would've been more useful as we are talking about potential draftees from this year's crop.
