Reporting on the combine seems stressful..

 

 

I think her bailing out of the interview was because of the sappy jingle the hosts played.

 

Or upon hearing her voice with the echo effect, she decided to go look up the director of the next Marvel superhero movie, and try for a part.  A female version of 'Black Bolt'. 🤔

Not sure if this really fits for this thread, but it was said at the Combine. I'm cracking up; this makes me believe people will actually say this every season. There's no way anyone could have watched film of next year's class and actually think it's better than this year's.

With the lack of dominant pass rushers in the league nowadays and the amount you have to pay the ones who are, I’d rather have blanket coverage across the board where he’s put in a position to wait for the decision. That’s easier said than done with the play calling/design and his talents. 
 

Pressure certainly bursts pipes but getting a diamond out of that scenario is far more tricky. Think it’s more fruitful to invest in the secondary again. 

You either get QB pressure with talent (which we don't have) or scheme ( which hasn't worked consistently)

 

This is why I would have made a defensive scheme change this offseason.

This is why they have the combine.  Lol all these guys shrunk.

Those are heights are close enough to what they’d be in shoes/cleats.  Worthy and Franklins weights more concerning.

In terms of outliers there is a difference between Tee Higgins or Dk Metcalf size to what these prospects are.  They need to run fast.

The wind in Buffalo might be enough to snap Xavier Worthy or Troy Franklin in half.

well good they can both make it to 60 (won’t happen)  and the Bills can come away with:

 

1 of Thomas Jr / AD Mitchell / Legette

AND 

Franklin / Worthy

No chance Worthy goes round 1. I’ve said all along that his teammate A Mitchell is better anyways

Adonai at 28 & Worthy at 60

 

would be a cool story

 

if Worthy runs a 4.29 today he could still go in the 1st IMO

Holy crapy. This is almost as bad as the dating sites where (I'm told, not that there's anything wrong with that) that all the guys lie about their height (every guy claims to be at least 6' even if he's 5'8") and half the women, at least my age, subtract 5 years from their age.

Shame, shame, shame...

Mitchell is the one that surprises me a bit. I knew Thomas wasn't 6'4" just looking at him, likewise with Franklin and 6'3". Worthy is my height. But Mitchell on his film looks legit big. Surprised he came in shorter than Thomas.

Guys are always claiming extra inches in my experience.....

After seeing his size how fast does Worthy and Franklin need to run to be considered at 28?  Under 4.3 or 4.35?

I knew Worthy and Franklin were going to come in light, but those weights are kinda eye popping. I agree on Mitchell though; not like 6'2" is short by any means but he looks taller than that to my eye and part of the allure with him was that 6'4" guys don't usually have the flexibility/loose hips that he does.

A lot of these measurements might be the reason why Coleman is still rated higher despite the film saying otherwise

To be fair, we haven't gotten measurements on Coleman yet lol. But I do expect him to be among the biggest WRs in the class.

[Maine-iac]

Cole Bishop a decent day two swing or Proctor a little later than that?

Yeah, we need speed. They can put muscle mass on later.
