Time for the big question. Who do you think will rise up the boards as a workout wonder? Who will fall due to poor performance or interviews? I think Beckham-Green falls in the interview process. I think Dorsett rises up the boards.
Kevin White will rise as he is already. Mariota will fall for no good reason. Gordon and Gurley will be hyped up but no ones wasting a first. Funchess or whatever will be hyped up at the combine putting up crazy numbers. Side note. I hate the combine. It matters what you do on the field not the track. Vernon Ghoston and Stephen Hill RIP
Friday will be the last day anyone thinks Josue Matias will make it outside the top 50. Ladarius Gunter will be a top 75 prospect after the combine as well. I hate to keep banging this drum, but Perryman will fall to the third day in the public eye at the combine. IMO he's already there. Anthony will be seen as the third ILB after McKinney and Dawson.
I'll just do risers: Ereck Flowers, OT, Miami: Best pure OT in this draft, if he checks out medically he will be a lock Top 10 and a possible Top 5 player. Arik Armstead, DE/DT, Oregon: I really like this player, very active. Laken Tomlinson, OG, Duke: End of Rd 1 may be a possibility. Nate Orchard, DE/OLB, Utah: Productive player. Gerod Holliman, S, Louisville: May be a better pro than Pryor. Alvin "Bud" Dupree, DE/OLB, Kentucky: One of SEC's best pass rushers. Maxx Williams, TE, Minnesota: Best TE, in a weak group.
Definitely agree that Funchess will rise. I saw a video yesterday of him getting his head above rim level in a gym. I think he'll go end of the 1st
Danny Shelton - I think come Draft Day he will be a top 5 pick. Arik Armstead - once again come draft day, he will shoot up. Touted as a first rd pick, I think he can crack the top 10. Ereck Flowers - best OL in the class, will be classified as such as we get closer to the draft. Kevin White - in the bold predictions thread, I said he would go befode Cooper I'll stick with that Kevin Johnson - I think he is one of the better corners in this draft, ideal size and could be first CB taken.
Please don't do this to me. I think he's the Larry Warford in this draft. If the Jets could get him in the top of the 3rd - it would be the best case scenario for the Jets. As much as I hate Duke, can't deny those kids have been coached up.
I like Tomlinson. I'm not sure the Combine is where he'll excel. He is one fat fanny. Looking forward to it this weekend.
Yeah he's a big body and isn't very fluid w/ his movements, but he doesn't make many mistakes and he's a freaking beast he can't be taken down. I liked him from the SR Bowl.
I think he's a bit of s head case. I like the player but the last few times I saw him he was getting flagged for personal fouls and what appeared to be dirty plays. I just get the feeling he may be the next Suh in terms of talent AND temperament and that might show up in his interviews or psych tests. _
I predict that AT LEAST 5 WR's go in the first round (Cooper, White, Parker, Funchess, DGB/Smith/Strong/Perriman/Dorsett...) I predict that someone will reach WAY too far for Landon Collins I predict that Trae Waynes falls to the end of round 1 (picks 26-32) I predict that Melvin Gordon goes top 20 I predict that I get more than one of these right
Tomlinson definitely getting the Larry Warford comparisons (I mentioned this at least a month ago). I see Damian Woody too. If he's there in the 3rd when the JETS are OTC, I'd grab him before the heartbeat.
What's this? Do I hear blasphemy? Hating Duke? You sound like nyjunc! lol FWIW, I think he will be a very good pro. I'm surprised at the 1st round talk however. That said, I'm hoping that the Jets will sign a FA OG and that Dozier will be able to be a quality starter at the other OG position. I'd rather not use yet another draft pick on an OG, but if the Jets do take an OG, I hope it's Tomlinson.
Lol, damn comparing me to Junc - I have some delusional moments at times, but Junc is delusional 24/7/365. Always hated Duke Basketball growing up ... they were spoiled, arrogant, then you had that annoying fuck Christian Laettner ... don't get me started! I think Tomlinson should be a safe option in RD3, especially if we can't sign an Orlando Franklin or by some miracle Iupati from the 49ers. I would like to see Dozier v Oday Aboushi compete for the RG spot. I think Tomlinson can start right away at LG [if we don't acquire a G in FA]. I also want that 6th man offensive lineman if you remember Rob Turner coming off the bench and really helping the run game during the 2009-2010 seasons.
Not after the combine he isn't. Right now Collins looks like the real deal. Scheriff also did well but is still a guard. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap30...uting-combine?campaign=Facebook_cfb_goodbread
