Im just as happy to stick with Sprinkle if we couldnt land a guy like Albert or Claypool with amazing speed. I still say that our league leading 2.3 seconds from snap to pass would hamper anyone in that 250lb range. If your not Gronk, your not exploding off the line, getting open and to speed in that amount of time. 2nd place was Cousins at 2.8 seconds before release. Rest of teams avg 3+, allowing TEs some ability to get a route done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaiphoon Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Lipscomb is doing well in drills I've seen him. Smooth. Good hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was watching this Gauntlet drill thinking the opposite. I thought his upper body was a bit stiff. His shoulder movement for some reason made me think hed have trouble going up for balls. And he drifts the way hes looking so much. He was over a yard off the line theyre to try to run down strait as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't have to he a burner to be a good WR, he's a great route runner, he has quickness, route running ability and strength but not top end speed, just like Kelvin Harmon. I think KJ Hill will be a good reliable NFL receiver that will catch a lot of passes but won't have a lot of explosive plays aka a possession WR. I don't have a problem taking him in the 6th-7th round where Kelvin Harmon was picked, but I have seen him mocked in the 3rd-4th rounds and I think that is too rich for him. Maybe his agility drills will persuade me because I have not seen those or know if he did those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What’s up with Bryce Hopkins? Did he not participate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So like rounds 5-7 rather then 3-4. Me personally, for guys like him who aren't ”work out warriors,” the tape is so important. Go to the tape, watch him run routes with precision like Terry McLaurin and juke defenders out of their jocks and catch a pass. His a technician - probably the best in the slot as Doc always said. He's such a great route runner that his lack of top end speed doesn't matter and he has great hands.

His TE coach at Dayton was a science professor trying to work double duty. Hes RAW as can be cause of it they were saying. Because it wasnt the guys full time job to prep players and practice. I found it interesting about him cause he did stand out against guys like Pinkney that received full coaching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taylor made Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 (edited) WR Thoughts: Combine Winners: Obviously, WR Henry Ruggs crushed it with his forty but he backed it up with his Vertical and Broad Jump. WR Jalen Raegor - People are gonna be disappointed by his forty time because he was expected to run faster in the 4.3s. I don't think it matters much because he you have to remember he weighs almost 20 more pounds than Henry Ruggs and did really well elsewhere. I think he's a first rounder and he could be a steal later on. WR Justin Jefferson - He just might of snuck into the first round with his effort tonight. I mean you get to see the difference between him and a highly recruited player in Tee Higgins who sits the combine out. I wasn't super impressed by his game tape but he earned a fan tonight. WR Michael Pittman - He has great size and while he didn't do anything elite in drills he managed to have respectable numbers all throughout. Solidified himself for sure in the 3rd round range and wouldn't surprise me if someone picks him in the 2nd or drops to the 4th. WR Donovan People Jones - Could he be this year's Terry McLaurin or is he more Parris Campbell? Questionable college production, but was highly recruited out of High school and he is highly athletic. 44.5 inch vertical, 11 foot broad jump? whoa. WR Denzel Mims - I saw a little bit of him last year but here's a situation where he separated himself from the pack in the middle rounds and I'll have to go back and watch what he did this year. Stock Stayed the same: Laviska Shenault, WR, Colorado - I almost put Shenault in the loser section but he wasn't that bad. He's a hard evaluation on tape and his forty was gonna be interesting. The Result? Indifference. I don't think he's a first rounder though. Jerry Jeudy WR, Alabama - Jeudy did enough to get by but it would have been nice to see him test slightly better. Should he really be in the top-5 of this draft though? Ceedee Lamb WR, Oklahoma - Similar to Jeudy; he did enough.. but nothing to get super excited about. He did enough to get drafted in the first half of round 1. Edited February 28, 2020 by taylor made 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's far too soon to be saying any draft prospect at the NFL combine will never be a starter. These TEs will get to the NFL, get stronger and get better coaching. There are so many TEs who are late round or undrafted players that become good TEs. I'm never overly concerned bc a guy may not have had a great combine. I don't overreact to the combine ever, it's one piece in 3 or 4 pieces of why you do or don't draft a prospect. 61 recs, 830 yds and 7 Tds in just 11 games for a TE prospect screams out there's something there to be developed and he's a good TE draft prospect to me. He's always been a tough cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Draper Posted February 28, 2020 Author Share Posted February 28, 2020 (edited) Taped the combine so I didn’t have to watch all the commercials. Agree with a lot of brothers Some solid guys for mid round tight ends. The ND guy Kmart impressive.2nd round guy. Won’t be there when we pick. The Stanford kid has barely adequate speed but very impressive in sled and catching drills. 5-6th round guy Hopkins the Purdue guy vey impressive speed and has dual threat skill. 4th round good bloodlines too. the UCLA kid looked good in all the drills. Except Struggled with the blocking sled. Seems like he’s not a guy who will excel in run game 6th round guy Albert O can run, but was below average in other drills. Wouldn’t draft him LSU other TE- not on my board- blocking is alien to him If Hopkins is there in 4th or 5th I’d be happy with that pick I expect Sprinkle will improve his blocking now that he has a real coach that emphasizes you better block or you don’t play. Tight ends group not that impressive but a few guys who are draft worthy with a legitimate chance to be in the league a few years. The ND guy has a chance to be real good and the Purdue guy could develop into our best dual threat TE in a long time Edited February 28, 2020 by Doc Draper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Draper Posted February 28, 2020 Author Share Posted February 28, 2020 (edited) Like the new sled Drill and fade routes the sled shows who has ever blocked and Those who instead do a Morgan Moses imitation of getting a one inch pushing getting in the way of defenders Edited February 28, 2020 by Doc Draper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Draper Posted February 28, 2020 Author Share Posted February 28, 2020 (edited) Matt Turks nephew is a beast- 25 reps on bench as a punter. That’s more than two guys who started on our O- line Roullier and Geron. Maybe three but Moses never did the bench press this group of wide receivers is the best I’ve seen in a while. at QB Love and Herbert will be over drafted before Fromm and Fromm will be better. Some guys will undoubtedly hype Herbert into the top 10 which he’s nowhere near being associated with.. hurts is just so impressive. Doc’s top 5 uarterback rankings Tua, Fromm, Burrows, Hurts, Eason Going to lmao if somebody drafts Herbert or Love in round 1.

Good hands elite speed probably better then his numbers but bama goes 4 wide with a deep deer group that’s all fast, explosive with qualities to bail the QB out 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
