NFL Draft

Joe Fan said:
This is one of the OTs ranked ahead of Connor Williams
Orlando Brown left ou early to post an official 5.85 40 yard dash in the Underwear Olympics
19" vertical
just 14 reps on bench
and was yelled at by coaches during drills for loafing
McShay called it a "historically bad day"

Somebody please tweet this Conner Williams and Orlando Brown stuff to Calvin Anderson.
 
Serious question: how much does 40 speed matter for an O-lineman?

If a guy is big, strong, has good technique, can’t he still be a solid OL without top end speed?

I thought same thing Dion, stupid drill for the OL

BUT, they showed Tom Coughlin with a hand timer recording only the first ten yards and they said that is because he wants to chart how fast they can hit the second block. I learned something lol

Not all that much, I imagine. However, when you test significantly below your peer group in a job interview, and the coaches (hiring managers) are chewing you out for loafing, you have set yourself up for a lot of ridicule, not to mention a far smaller paycheck.
 
You might rmbr this guy
Harrison started nine games for West Georgia (Div II) in 2017, his first game action since 2013.
If the time stands, it would be the 3rd-fastest 40-time by an OL since 2006.

Mike Mayock skewered the entire Big 12 (except for us) for being "really hard to watch" and insinuating that NFL decision-makers believe it doesn't develop future NFL players as well as the other conferences.

Lots of rumors Baker Mayfield will go #1. After Colt had to endure the hellhole that is Cleveland football, it was good to see Johnny end up there as well. Wouldn't mind seeing Baker have to do that too.

That would be par for the course for Cleveland. I wouldn't dare by #1 money to someone with Mayfield's temperament.
 
I think Baker was the only top qb that would actually go to Cleveland....the others probably knew they could John Elway/Eli Manning-it and say (basically) "don't draft me because I'll never play for the Browns"....Baker and his agent probably realized he just needed to get in there and take the spot.

I'm actually more interested in the draft than actual games but the RB Barkley or DE Chubb would have been far and away the smarter pick. Mayfield would have been there at #4. Many mock drafts had him going at 11 to Miami.
 
What happened to Williams and Jefferson as mid to late first rounders? Jefferson I recall, was at one time a (very) later round one take, but Williams was a round 1 pick unless something changed. Thoughts?
