The thing that's hard to account for is how well Yannick played against good competition. Was a very underrated aspect of him coming out at the time.

Some prospects have reason to fear such tests...whether that be a lack of preparation or iffy measurables. Is that Chase Young? Only time will tell. So, no, the true competitor bit isn't nonsense, but to each their own. If it doesn't fit your argument, toss the whole possibility out! I get it. It may not be PROBABLE, but it IS POSSIBLE. I feel skipping combine tests for fear of not doing well in them is the very definition of a business decision lol. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's clearly the most shrewd QB to hit the league since Sam Bradford. In all seriousness, nothing. Everyone knew he was going #1, #2 at worst. The Combine's QB stuff does more to elevate Day 3 stock or push people into Day 3 consideration. For a QB who knows they're going round 1 (and honestly for most players in that position IMO), there isn't much incentive to go through all of the drills. We always see more presumed round 1/2 guys hurt their stock than we see guys help it. Unless you're John Ross and trying to show off some unbelievable trait, why risk doing anything in the pre-Draft process to risk even a minor injury? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't say I saw anything like that on Highsmith's film. He just didn't impress me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be more and more business decisions, just like players skipping the bowl games. I think we've actually been fortunate that the lag has been this long before players and their agents figured it out. Actually I think it's delayed because they devote the pre combine months to working out, and want to show off their improvement and form. Now they'll increasingly realize that no matter the dedication or improvement they simply don't match up well to their peers in certain categories, and those comparisons defined by a number can only hurt them. Every year I check SPARQ and also the RAS (Relative Athletic Score) numbers. This year is by far the thinnest sampling I've ever seen. Even for guys who did the combine there is one incomplete grade after another. Chase Young is a big blank. It's kind of amusing to sample his page with nothing there except height and weight and some robotic sentences. If it keeps up at this pace those SPARQ-type evaluations will be like newspapers declining due to the internet https://relativeathleticscores.com/2020/02/03/chase-young-ras/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldfishwars Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Man, I've been watching a load of Ross Blacklock and I've been underrating this guy so much. Dude is explosive and he's not even been playing where he would be in the NFL. Shoots through gaps for fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has heavy hands. A lot of potential if he develops well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE DUKE Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 I can see Gross-Matos over Epenesa, but give me Chaisson over either. I think Chaisson is closer to Chase Young than he is to YGM or AJE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYGiantsman10 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 What's the realistic range on YGM's stock? I'm guessing between 20 and 40. Trying to put together a mock and I'd like it to be rooted at least somewhat in reality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
