Rounds 2 & 3

[Unsympathetic]

Perhaps the pool should be.. before or after Burrow

[Unsympathetic]

On one hand, he did catch 54 last season so he's not entirely one-trick. On the other, he had more rushing than receiving TD's at Auburn.

Yes, speed, but both our WR's "with speed" got injured last season.. hope he gets on an NFL strength&conditioning plan quick..

And to be clear, the #1 goal of legit athletic trainers is injury prevention.. strength gains are entirely secondary/coincidental.

Just out of curiosity,  if anyone knows.   What is the fastest  40 time ever recorded for an NFL prospect? 

@gumby73 said:

4.22..Bengals- John Ross

Bo Jackson  4.12 though he says electronically it was 4.13.

Huh? That's a recorded, verified time?

I saw him in the Cotton Bowl run an 80 yard screen for a TD against one of our fastest overall defenses. After he turned the corner at the 50 running laterally from the left to the right side, it took like 3 seconds to cross the goalline. Never seen anything like it in all my years of watching football until his TD tunnel run in the NFL. Put a cape on that man. I was high in the endzone that he ran towards on that play and I could see that sudden acceleration towards me when he turned that corner. Nobody in a football uniform can run that fast-but it damn sure happened.

Bo Jackson was an amazing, once-in-a-lifetime athlete. Without a doubt.

But he was not faster than Usain Bolt, and he was not .2 of a second faster than Willie Gault. 

Bo Jackson says silly things. What was the latest - that he'd run for 3000 yards in today's NFL?

Can you guess what Potty Mouth Shakespeare would have interrupted with "Oh yeah?  I did that running backwards with a cigar in my mouth.  Why don't you knuckleheads get back to endorsing dime a dozen linemen like Joe Thomas for round 1 again!"

[TexasAg1969]

Wasn't quite 80 yards from LOS, but it was a screen behind it. Watch Superman.

So you can't explain shit, I'm shocked. 

At least you used the non-possessive 'You're'.   Irks me to no end when I see "your stupid",    so good on ya.

I will pass that on to my 40 plus year Advanced Placement English teaching wife who has retired to correct my Texanese. Its (It's?) About the only thing she will ever like about a football board. LOL!?

As I commented to my pal.a guy with safety+ speed that plays LB.  Guy who can cover wrs over the middle. Any comparisons to Dick Butkus are hallucinations. And he did win the Butkus award.   

Because they are...  Draft a guy who shows some talent to be a center, Pouncey- he ain't. We should start a pool on which game Ben goes on IR.... 

Yep. Anthony is certainly on the Mount Olympus of LTs... 

Pouncey was down right bad last season and far from great the season prior.  Villanueva the same and A LOT of people from outside the fan base think this means the line will experience a regression.  I frankly think the line improves with their departures and Green is the perfect pivot in a ZBS.  The article i'm about to link is from PRE-DRAFT so there is no "bias" even tho the depot is incredibly unbiased when the dust settles.

EDIT: Green has a RAS score of 9.24.

So watching some Auburn clips and Anthony Schwartz clips and Schwartz had some decent hands too with that speed.  
 

I think we have a steal.

I put the O/U we actually use for picks at 4.5...

... and I'm taking the Under.

That was a pretty close O/U at 4.5.

Oh the actual amount of picks was 5...... barely but still OVER.    Pretty well done BROWNS FO.

Absolutely, for sure.  You don't draft OL in the 3rd and 4th round and expect them to play like Orlando Pace right out of the gate. 

Uh huh- Najee Harris = Barry Sanders. Frothingslosh = Travis Kelce,  Kendrick Green = Quenton Nelson,  Dan Moore = Anthony Munoz, Buddy Jonson = Ray Lewis...  Just stop...
