If Al Davis was still around, the Raiders would take him at 6.
He averaged 17.0 per catch last year and 9 TD's.
DJ has him ranked 15 now, you just can't teach 4.29.
I wonder how high he goes.

I've heard some buzz around Cowboys and golden. If not there, probably falls into the 20s somewhere

Jeanty should run but he probably won’t. I’m not sure there’s much upside for him to take the chance. I’m really curious how he would time.

Well, what 40-time would cause his draft stock to drop? 4.4 definitely not, 4.5 probably not, 4.6? That would be concerning

He came off as an entitled, out of shape guy that had also been involved an idiotic, fatal drag racing incident. Yes, let’s draft Leonard fucking Little.

I would have passed on that dipshit too.

87.5 career sacks....okay, lets draft him

I definitely agree. Grady can earn those checks being the big brother. Green has been clean for 2 years and we otherwise have no idea of the context of the accusations. Peyton Manning was accused of sexual assault and look at him. I bet tons of guys have this shit covered up and we never get to know about it. Young people do a lot of dumb crap... and people who are filthy rich can get into some weird crap too. I'm not saying that makes it ok, but even the other guys may not be angels themselves and we just never heard about it. There are probably guys on the Bears now into some weird things. Who knows...

True and the Bear will have all the real detes before the draft.

I think his stock drops if he doesn't run. Regardless of what he runs, expect his splits to be quick so may not matter that much if his 40 isn't great. He's not running a 4.6

He's said he would, but things change. He's really been moving up though. I even hear debates of him being a possibility in the top 5. So that said, if he wants to try to get there, he'll run. If he's content being somewhere in the 6-10 range, he should probably sit it out.

I don't think he's running a 4.6, either.

If he pulled a Xavier Restrepo and ran a 4.8 that might knock him out of top 10 considerations, dont think anything would really cause him to drop out of the first round though.

If he pulls a Restrepo, I actually think he may fall out of the first. It would just put more thought into the 'small school' and 'is he too small' question marks. I of course think he'd a lock to do at least 4.5 or he'd not even run and I'm guessing he's pretty likely 4.4 or better. If he's not, he definitely shouldn't bother running.

Bears are certainly looking for a burner at the WR position....

I expect some deep play action passing incoming.

And deep ball accuracy should be real high on Caleb's list of things he needs to get better at. The previous coaching staff hurt his growth in that area even more by rarely letting the kid throw deep balls.

 

[dabears70]

Stevenson was definitely counting on safety help on that play from Owens.

Mid to low 4.4's would be expected IMO.

I think a 4.5 would be pretty ho hum based on the hype around this guy.

 

[Wild_x_Card]

Nice. Guy isn't scheme specific. Doesn't look as fast in pads as he timed but plenty of speed. My sleeper, Merritt, is more a zone runner. Timed a tick slower in the 40 but looks about the same speed in pads. I suspect Smith is better out of the blocks which is why I think Merritt fits better in zone.

It's guys like these why many teams don't take RBs early. Dude needs to be very special.

He's 195 soaking wet on a good day with a lean frame. Like the player but he's a platoon player in the league,

This class is overhyped in my assessment of these backs.one of the best ever, nonsense. The quantity is certainly there but not the quality. Alot of these guys have warts.

What do you think of Jeanty and Hampton?

 

[maxhatter]

Mid to low 4.4's would be expected IMO.

He looks fast on tape, but if he could run in the low 4.4, he should run. Only 11 running backs this year ran a 4.45 or better.
