I’d probably prefer Edmunds over Payne and a different QB than Benkert, but this isn’t too bad and I definitely prefer this over a “Rudolph in the first” mock.
I like the Nyheim pick a lot; I think he’s pretty much a perfect 3rd down back that can spell McCoy.
His performance against Middle Tennessee State was better than that one. He still looks pretty rough accuracy wise IMO though and seems to take a long time to go from seeing a guy get open to actually throwing the ball to him.
After the Senior Bowl and going back and watching some more of him, I’d probably bump him ahead of Benkert and maybe Ferguson, but I still have him around my #10 or 11 QB in the class.
I’m definitely going to go back and watch more again but he never looked like an accurate QB at all in any of the games I’ve seen. This was an eye opening performance from him.
That was pretty much a perfect drive for Allen. That is what NFL teams are gonna be praying they can get out of him on a semi-consistent basis.
I’ve pretty much hated him all year, but he was really good in the first half. Personally still wouldn’t touch him before Day 3, but seems like others are much higher on him than I am.
Lauletta’s answered my concerns in terms of velocity; he’s become much more intriguing to me this week.
What was Benkert thinking there? He looked over and saw the pass rusher cut inside and instead of easily sliding to the outside, he seemed to purposefully slide into him for a sack lol
Very. Not sure if he’s a great fit for McD’s base defense though. He’s super undersized for a DE and probably doesn’t have the coverage ability you look for in a McD LB. I suppose you could have said the same about Jerry Hughes though, but even Hughes is bigger that Okoronkwo.
Hes definitely intriguing. Watching his film, he looks a bit stiff to me; definitely has that upright kind of running style in the very least. And given his pass blocking woes, he probably isn’t the 3rd down back that I hope Buffalo is searching for.
I doubt this game will impact his stock much, if at all. Most of the scouts aren't even there anymore. NFL teams generally pack up and leave after the final practice; they don't care about the actual game.
This is what I'm thinking too, especially considering the original report is coming from a Fantasy Football site; they probably wouldn't say it's that big of a story if it was just a lineman. It's gotta be one of those 3 guys IMO.
They met with all those guys the first day when Baker wasn’t there yet so it’s possible that they wanted to and will meet with him at the combine or something instead
Seems like there’s probably 3 (maybe 4) possibilities:
1. Kyle is or isn’t retiring
2. Incognito is or isn’t being disciplined
3. E.J. Gaines is or isn’t re-signing
4. News about what Buffalo is going to do with Tyrod. This seems the least likely in terms of timing, but “major news” might be more likely to mean a QB than an offensive or defensive lineman.
Makes sense. Baltimore is one of the wild cards regarding the QB position IMO. Flacco sucks and they can get out of his contract in one year.
having said that, Allbright is usually wrong about damn near everything.
