With that being said, his explosiveness hasn’t suffered:

Key was over weight? He looks like a meth addict...

Lol.

Believe it or not, Coach "O" had reported Key weighed in as much as 270 lbs back in October 2017, then down to his target of 250. Now he's at 238 or so? His conditioning and nutrition appears to be all out of whack.

Red flags galore for NFL scouts.

If I had a choice, I would choose the athleticism of Payne over Vea. Some of the things Da'Ron did in the trenches for Alabama was freakish. His hand movement is good too. I think he will be even better in the NFL than college.

You never know how to predict who will slide down in the draft but if he's there at 27 ...

I keep coming back to Christian Kirk when thinking about WR’s. Plug him into the slot from day one and he and Mike will be deadly.

Yes sir.

Another guy who appears to be a "fit" in SP offense ... Dante' Pettis. He played on the boundary as well as in the slot. I think he would be a gem if available in the mid rounds. On top of that, he'd be a much better threat on punt returns vs TLL.

Keep on eye on him as well.

AK 47 - had a formal @ combine with the Saints & met w/Payton / work him out exclusively at TN Pro day.
