    foot fractures being so different in severity based on location is one of the things that 1st led me into imaging back in the earliest stages of xray

    I believe Cam Newtons lisfranc stuff was the beginning of the end for him in the NFL.

    Draft him number 1 make him get surgery and shut him down for the year. He can learn to be an NFL player in the meantime and the lifestyle. No reason to risk it by playing him

    Seems like people are all over the place on him but these don't seem like top 10 measureables. Brugler has him 3rd overall, I think.

    His production numbers also say he’s not a top 10 pick

    Medrano's floor is a really solid Nickel LB.

    Obviously not on that list, but Schwesinger putting on 17 lbs since the season ended and still not having much or if any effect on his tests is great news for him.

    I recognize that name listed first...

    A kid from my hometown got invited and placed pretty much last in every DE statistic at the combine. Feel bad for him.

    This is very funny... On a serious note I think Campbell should easily be a top 20 pick. His athletic build is close to Parsons and he's also got a lot of production data that matches up. Not saying he continues to develop like Parsons but I would prefer him over a lot go guys currently being projected ahead of him. He's also one of the youngest prospects in the class. Big fan...

    To be fair neither did chop Robinson’s and he was one of the best pass rushers in the nfl last year. So I guess it comes down to coaching the guy up

    Chop Robinson was taken at 21.... So yeah as a late 1st or early 2nd round selection I would be fine with the pick.

    There was a time where dudes without production weren't ever going in the 1st round. I was upset with the Chop pick simply because I wanted a corner or Olineman.

    That isn't true... He's one of the least productive players at the Edge position.

    He flashed these insane athletic abilities about once every 30 snaps and then disappeared. Granted you could say that about the entire DL the past five years.

    The worst part isn't drafting guys with traits but no production, it's paying guys with traits and no production like Rashan Gary

    Nick Emmanwori athletic data to backup his production.... he's worthy of a top 10 pick. He's a beast.

    Bankz Whats the ideal weight for a TE here? Seems off that he’s in the bottom 50th percentile. Also add a 39” vert to the calc

     
  47. Bankz

    Bankz Well-Known Member

    I don’t think weight is a big deal for a TE. What you want to pay attention to when it comes to athletic testing for a TE would be a 40 time under 4.7 and a Broad jump over 118”

    And for those data dudes you want him to have a career yards/run over 1.6

    If a prospect hits those three you got a good chance of having a productive career.

    Ferguson hits the athletic profile you want for sure. He production data is borderline.

    I’m asking why he got a 4.34/10.00 for his weight
     
  49. Bankz

    Bankz Well-Known Member

    He compares the players score or in this case weight against other 1,200 TEs who have measurables in his database. So he’s below average for weight in comparison to every other prospect. Mitchell Evans from ND came in at 258 and scored a 8.25

    I think 240’s is fine for a TE. I wouldn’t be concerned with that
