    No I said I was being irrational. At least that's what I meant.

    assume positive intent

    Man. Edge was my dude, and I never knew he ran that fast. He was always such a patient runner, you'd never see it. As for Bijan, I'd be pretty surprised to see him in that range. On tape, he looks like a mid-4.5 guy... but that's just me.

    These guys put a lot of work into the combine, so he may have trained for the 40, which is what will guarantee his draft status one way or another.

    Damn didn’t realize he had 4.38 speed. I remember they took heat for taking him over Ricky Williams but they made the right choice.

    There are free agents who have proven they are much better passers than Fields. Personally, I wouldn’t trade a single draft choice for him. Then again not my decision to make.

    Sounds like the top WR's disappointed at the combine? Seems like any WR at #12 would be a pretty big reach, may not be popular on here but Texans/Demeco should really consider trying to talk Cooks into staying. You just really can't roll out Collins/Metchie as the top two wideouts for a rookie QB, even if you add a lower-ranked guy at #33 that's still a lot of question marks. Do think we should go TE early though, this is a loaded class and several of these guys look like real long-term difference-makers.

    JSN was really strong. Besides him I probably wouldn’t choose anyone else before late 1st.

    Would you look at Bijon if he’s there at 12? Seems like a can’t miss pick.

    Just so we’re clear, I don’t like Gabbert and didn’t coming out lol. Was just stating the testing.
    On tape, AR doesn’t look more athletic than Hurts imo. It could be an illusion because of his size and stride length.
    AR not only tested elite for QBs, he tested elite for any man that size. There’s two guys from this draft that have put up numbers not seen before for their size.
    AR and Zack Kuntz-who might be the most athletic tester at 6’7 ever.

    First, you’re an idiot. Second, this is literally what I do for a living, and no you’re not nor ever were a better athlete than I am. Even at 40 yrs old.

    Also, I said AR would be 4.5 range. I was thinking somewhere around 4.51-4.54 range.
    I said Duggan would be 4.5 range.
    You can’t show a single run or play from AR that looks like best athlete on the field.
