PossibleCabbage Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 I legit laughed out loud at the thought of "McSorley as a DB." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leader Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Two positions the GBPs simply have to kill off: EDGE and TE. Get them done. Somehow. Draft. FA. Walkoff the street guys. Players generated in a petri dish somewhere. I dont care, but do it. I'm sick and tired of hearing about these positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PossibleCabbage Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 I don't think an NFL team has ever looked at its roster and said "we don't want any more pass rushers" though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would put safety squarely in third place as far as needs are concerned, but there's another one that I'm tired of trying to fix and failing at it since Collins went down.

SSG Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 I don't understand the obsession over the 40 time. I can't recall the last time I seen a TE in gym shorts or a lineman in gym shorts line up in a sprinters stance during a football game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have Jimmy Graham at Tight End. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't take a tight end until 30th overall no matter what they did. However, 40 yard dash time really doesn't matter for tight ends. Bubba Franks ran a 4.66 40 yard dash time when in reality he probably played the equivalent of a 4.9 40 yard dash. He was slow. With tight ends, it's more about their playing speed. You took issue with Austin Sefarian-Jenkins slow 40 time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPZ5ZDWEADo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8ih92jyppc Does any of that look slow to you? Same thing with Hockenson. Does literally any of this look remotely slow to you? idk man .. 1:57-2:02 was pretty slow ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the one they put on tv because it's the most visually interesting. People talk about it because it's the thing we can talk about while it's still happening (we have to wait for cone and shuttle times to leak out.)

They care about the ten split. 2. There's an incredibly strong correlation between pro-bowl TEs and 40 time. There's one TE who made an All-Pro team with a 40 time slower than 4.70 since 2002 (when I stopped being able to find 40 times). That was Marcedes Lewis in 2010. Slow TEs don't stand out.

PossibleCabbage Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 I mean, no measurable can be so good that it guarantees that a guy will be a good player. A measurable can be so bad, however, that it means a guy is very likely to not be a good player. So when tight ends run a 4.9 or an OL runs an 8+ second 3 cone, you can just leave those guys off your board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
