BeastMode54 Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 apparently his 40 time didn't sway their opinion. maybe we get him the 2nd round and go harvey or CB in the 1st. That would be amazing IMO. "Him running that 40 time didn't alter where we put him on the board," said Modrak. "We thought he was going to run on the clock much differently - a little bit better than that. We figured he was a 4.5, 4.6 guy. Those guys can play. We don't think everybody needs to be 4.3, 4.4. Michael Irvin didn't run 4.4s, and he's a 6-foot-4 guy who's 230, that does make a difference obviously. Just that alone did not change it for us. It's a part of it, it's a piece of it and we'll mix it in." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeastMode54 Posted April 16, 2008 Author Share Posted April 16, 2008 more news In addition to running his forty in the mid-4.6 range at Wednesday's private Pro Day, NFL.com's Gil Brandt reports Malcolm Kelly benched 225 14 times. Kelly's camp sent out an email saying he touched the mid-4.4s, but Brandt had Kelly at 4.63, 4.65 on a fast track. Kelly's short shuttle was 4.15. He was thrown 22 "catchable passes" from stand-in QB Eric Crouch and caught 21. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flbillsfan#1 Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Wow, Eric Crouch. I'm guessing they brought him in so Kelly would no longer be the biggest whiner on the field. Word is Crouch is trying to get back in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 you know it could be entirely possible that the bills are jumping for joy at Kelly's demise seeing how they can take Harvey in the 1st....Kelly in the 2nd ....and not have to do any trading up to do so.\ Just a thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewy23 Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 you know it could be entirely possible that the bills are jumping for joy at Kelly's demise seeing how they can take Harvey in the 1st....Kelly in the 2nd ....and not have to do any trading up to do so.\ Just a thought I don't see Kelly being our pick. His freefall has him in the late 2nd round to the early third. Round 2 would still be a reach for him. What Modrak didn't say is WHERE on their board Kelly was. His 40 time didn't affect his position on their board because he was at the bottom next Mario Manningham under the heading "Avoid Like The Plague"...

Dr. Trooth Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Here's the translation of what Modrak is really saying... "We like Kelly, and all along we've slotted him as a 3rd rounder. So, we're not detracted by his 40 time and have him still slotted there. If he's there when our pick comes up in the third, unless there's someone else we like at that spot, he's our man."

That sounds about right. Maybe a 2nd rounder though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrobot Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 That sounds about right. Maybe a 2nd rounder though We're talking about putting Malcolm Kelly at #50 on our Big Board at DraftTek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
