    Here's some possible medical red flags? https://thedraftnetwork.com/articles/nfl-combine-medical-injury-red-flags   

  •  strolling thru players interviewed on Walt's site... Belicheck has rolled thru 29 combine interviews all ready..far more than any team.. one Tackle in Josh Jones.. Browns nobody posted as of yet..

  • DT & DE measurements are in.LB'ers next. Chase Young u man freak! The twitter verse now has OL showing up for medical.. All the biggie OT's have now spoken to the browns media, and they have confirmed talks to the Browns on Tuesday.. Most confirm it was a film session on good & bad tape..From Stef & AB's presser...made it sound like Joe Woods & Callahan are in Indy ?

    As someone called it:  speed dating.

    BB probably just asked one question:   If you were a tree, what kind of tree would you want to be?

    ... and he's not working out. Another one skipping to his Pro Day.

    If I were the NFL I'd tell prospects... if you want to attend for medicals, measurements and interviews, then unless you are medically DQ'd you have to do the drills... all the drills.

    I forget the name, but I read about one kid who skipped the Sr. Bowl to prepare for the Combine and is now skipping the Combine drills.

    Thanks Tour! Commitment to do all drills would have to be in writing prior to invitation being finalized. If a player won't commit, pull the invitation & offer it to another kid who wants to go & fully participate.

  • While the Network worry's about their CBA job security... Let's gets get back down to the Combine Business..

  • The more I look the more I like Thomas at the head of this OT class... and he's still pretty raw.

    Still think Wills has the highest floor.

    Becton? Feet are fine in pass pro, but his punch is erratic. He doesn't move well in run blocking... seldom gets to 2nd level and never cuts off pursuit on his feet... he dives at ankles if play is away. I get no sense of ZBS promise. His stance, which he pops up and out of, is awful, so he doesn't drive block well either.

    Still have work to do on Wirfs and Jones.

    My dark-horse OT (RT) is officially Peart.

  • Tomorrow I record the OL. Weakest link in our chain and hopefully our first two draft picks. Sat.  DL & LB where we need depth and maybe a starter or two if we pick well.

  • Condensing my man crib notes from a late night ? (if there's a football god? ? get this off your prime time hour events, amen)

    1) Am a TE guy. I get those guys off my chest first. and I get why that group was chosen 'The Warm-up band'..... It's not a great TE draft class....

    2) But lets squeeze some Lemons?

     Mitchell Wilcox...If by chance you now record this prime tv event? Wilcox blew at every "on the field drill' known to man tights since 2 decades of my TE combine viewing.. good leg explosion drills in high jump & broad, but Take a Firm 'PASS'

    3) I wanted to get Hyped on tThad Moss train..but that got derailed till his pro day.(maybe?). which just lost steam, to a broken wrist..6-8 weeks & if only we had a 5th rd.pick.

    4) Kmet & TE-Oh(kwuegbunam) can't be a draft need till we maybe hit rounds 6 or 7 imo..they will be gone..TE Oh, can fly at great TE size, but why no on field drills? can he block? don't know, i don't tape work guys going that high pending our needs..

    5) We hired a coach that has ties to Jared Pinkney* at Vandy..His drills showed his bubble butt, awkwardly* throws him out of balance on his routes..His tape matches, but he looks like a willing blocker, that i may run some other gametape on.. overall Jared seems very average at best..

    6) So in ending, i got what i needed to see out of the Combine drills..Now to mix in some tape & combine number crunching  still left.. My serious TE man Crush list found some newbie's

    a) LSU - Steven Sullivan & Wash-Bryant Hunter--Both had silky smooth combine..both should add some nfl adult bulk to block.. 

    b) Dayton's Adam Trautman & Cinn. Josiah Deguara--Both carry the TE bulk that above don't have..might be a tick slower, but have the raw physical traits of a Zach Ertz or a Todd Heap.. 

    once the combine dust settles? Let's see whom may fall to rounds 6 or 7.. and does drafting any TE, really improve the 4 horseman group?

    LSU - Steven Sullivan

    Kid has caught my eye as of late. Looks like a decent late round consolation prize, but needs a lot of work if he's to become an in-line contributor.

    Which is why I like Adam "I'd rather make a key block than catch a TD" Trautman...

  • Jeremy Chinn ....   going to have to give him a watch.   6'3 221 and runs a 4.46.

  • The new mock drafts coming out after the combine should prove very interesting for the first 3 rounds. Some really improved and some really hurt their draft positions.

  • I came across this interesting comment in senior draft analyst Charlie Campbell's mock draft pick for walterfootball:

     10. brownsb_logo.gif Cleveland Browns: Mekhi Becton, OT, Louisville Louisville_logo.gif

    Cleveland owner Jimmy Haslam enjoyed going 1-31 so much that he brought back Andrew Berry to help reproduce that magic with holdover fraud Paul Depodesta. Thus, Cleveland will shy away from drafting good football players like Denzel Ward or Nick Chubb in favor of prospects who score well in analytics. Fortunately for their fans, the Browns may not be able to screw up their first-round pick if they draft one of the top three offensive tackles, as Andrew Thomas, Mekhi Becton and Jedrick Wills are all safe picks to be good pros.

    It's a business, my brother. Why workout if there is no upside. Young is going 2nd overall, why risk anything?

    Understood, my man.... and if I were Young (or possibly even young), then I'd hate my idea, but...

    ... the NFL is in the entertainment industry... it was late February and I wanted to be entertained.

    Now... get off my lawn!
