I remember early mocks where people were cheering the idea of Franklin dropping to us at 28. Clearly something is warning teams off but I have no idea what 1. routes hr can run 2. light body frame breaks warn hit 3. poor interviewing 4. seemed to lack passion of playing in the NFL Quote

Way too much is made of this though. Very vast majority the greatest WRs in the NFL now and in history did not run sub 4.3 or less forty’s. It’s not the prerequisite to be great many in this board think it is. 1 1 Quote

It’s not the prerequisite to be great many in this board think it is. Well. In regards to history of the NFL. A sub 4.3 forty has only really been a thing for the last 10 years at the most. Evolution of speed in the game hasn’t caught up to sub 4.3 until recently. At least not on a mass scale. You had your 1-2 guys every now and then, but now it seems you have multiple every year that run in the 4.3s Quote
Chicken Boo Posted April 27 Posted April 27 ... and he goes to the team with the worst QB situation in football. Life comes at you fast. Quote
skibum Posted April 27 Posted April 27 I don't know, the fact that he fell so far kind of puts a stink on him. I don't know what the issue is, but I'm glad we didn't take him. Quote

He goes to the team that drafted his college QB. To me that sounds like he instantly has a relationship and trust with his QB that he’s been catching TDs from for years. just sayin 1 hour ago, DrDawkinstein said: lol not with Bo Nix throwing to him. Wonder what teams had on him that slid him to the 4th round? Even headcase Jermain Burton went before him! See above Quote

Good for them. I'm sure their wedding ceremony will be beautiful. Wont matter when Nix is sailing passes out of bounds, not seeing the open WR, and getting sacked because he missed the blitz. 1 Quote

Virgil Posted April 27 Posted April 27 What bothers me the most about Franklin and Walker is that we met with them so many times post combine. For Franklin, if the combine hurt him so bad, why did we keep meeting with him? Most of the players we met with are either gone or will be UFA's. Just seems like we didn't get the guys we wanted, or just wasted those visits. Quote
DrDawkinstein Posted April 27 Posted April 27 Just now, mrags said: We will see I guess Absolutely. Maybe Sean Payton proves what a QB guru he is. But I've watched Nix in college for the past 15 years, and was never impressed once. He got clowned a lot down here in SEC country. Had to run away to the PAC just to get any hype. Quote

We meet with Franklin & Walker multiple times only to get spooked for some mysterious theories? We pass on better wrs like Thomas & Leggette to settle for the "gauntlet champion"? We needed 2 quality wrs in this receiver heavy draft and we totally dropped the ball. Quote
