    My prediction is that someone who does not deserve it will be pushed up the draft board because that could run faster and jump higher that folks thought while wearing shorts.  If they let players play in shorts that these pieces of information would be interesting.  We'll also see that Mayfield is shorter than his program height and that will scare some folks when it should not.  

     

    I think he was measured at the Senior Bowl @ 6' 3/8".

    He gets into his late 50's, he might drop under 6' but probably will have retired by then.

  2. I listen more closely when a former OL guy evaluates either a DL or a fellow OL.

    Same thing for a LB/RB/WR/CB/QB, etc  They played or competed directly against that POS, then try to listen more closely

     

    Most of these evaluators watch a fair amount of film and I think it is more substantive when they hone in on the good and bad for a position they actually played or a position they directly played against.

     

    Example would be any guy that played OL, then watched film of Aaron Donald.  First words after watching were probably along the lines of, "!@#$ me to tears."

     

    Doesn't mean their other opinions are worthless.  Just less valuable via actual, accrued pain.
