There talking about these guys in the first round...



Look, I hope these teams burn a 1R pick on a short QB...



I just don't want MY team burning a first rounder on a QB unless he's a proto-type passer, 6-3 or better, cannon for an arm and one of Dan Marino's Love Ilk...



And, if'n he's under that, he better smoke jokes that can't run a 4.4 with 'em if he's gonna take our first round pick in a draft...

Mettenberger?

Kerwin on NFLSirius interviewed him yesterday, good kid and prototypical pocket passer with an arm.

Man, this is when you wish you could sit in on the interviews...

I've got questions about his moxie, big questions...

Re: 2014 NFL Draft

A 4.4 for a quarterback is extremely rare.

2014 NFL Draft

Kind of disappointed by D'Anthony Thomas in the 40... Dri Archer definitely stole the show. Of course speed isn't everything but Archer and Jeff Janis made themselves a little extra money this weekend.

Agreed but I will take a page from Mike Mayock in that a lot of teams fall in love with the #'s but the better organizations that draft well include all factors and don't go over board with measurables. Just factor in college production and the tape (I would apply this to Jarvis Landry).

Re: 2014 NFL Draft

I'd love to have Archer return kicks for us. He'd make one hell of a weapon for Payton.

He'd be our own Trindon Holliday. Cut Cadet and let Archer learn for a season under Sproles... Then let Sproles go after the season for cap space.

Re: 2014 NFL Draft

In the 4/5 or 5/6 range i am looking at

Jerick McKinnon Georgia Southern 5090 209

32 reps of 225???? then puts up a 4.41 and a ten split 1.46 same as Archer DAMMMMMMMMMMM.

RB/WR/KR/DB/QB - TO NAME JUST A FEW lets me spell that out
starring at quarterback, slotback, fullback, defensive back and kick returner

he is a player if you draft him you find a away to get him on the field. special teams gunning demon i bet right out the gate in year one. he is the type of player that gets that last spot on the roster

LMAO COMPARES TO: Mark Ingram, New Orleans Saints
Jerick McKinnon, RB, Georgia Southern, NFL Draft - CBSSports.com - NFLDraftScout.com

the other small school mighty mouse that looked really good was

John Brown, Pittsburg State WR/KR 5-10, 179, 4.34
This kid has great hands

They did much better than i thought they would
Tyler Gaffney Stanford
George Atkinson ND

with this draft i would take a handful of beans and the cap space and trade Ingram. ok maybe not beans

Re: 2014 NFL Draft

I'll tell ya where speed is crucial today - LINEBACKER

I hope we draft a speedy, playmaking linebacker this year.

Like Vaccaro, but heavier.

Kinda like what we thought we'd get in Martez Wilson?

I want one too.

Also, Vaccaro isn't really a "speedy" safety. His speed is probably average for a safety. He timed about the same as Harper and Jenkins did.
