Pat Mahomes is going to an interesting watch as this draft process plays out. He has the obvious question marks because of the system he plays in, but the kid can throw the ball and has some tools that translate very well to the next level. He is quickly becoming my favorite QB in this draft. I'm in the opposite thinking and I must be missing something. I watch him and see a guy who has no feel for pressure what'sover, he's skiddish, can't make any reads, stares down the guy he plans on throwing to regardless and I feel like his entire highlight real are broken coverage plays. Basically I see virtually nothing that will translate. EJ Manuel esque

No, reed and engram are virtually identical. Dunno where you're getting your numbers from. Sprinkle is all althlete too imo. Guess we'll see. Not enough disagreement this year so let the games begin! I guess Espn and Wiki hadn't updated his weight in awhile haha. Either way he's a beast. He'd be a welcomed addition to the team. Have you checked out Zay Jones from ECU yet? Today was really my first time watching him. I know we both liked Hardy, but Jones looks even better and broke all ECU's records. Ive heard the name but seen very little I can recall. Will investigate.

Reed is actually 6'2" 246 right now, Engram measured 6'3" 236 at the Senior Bowl. Reed was 235 (combine measurement) when he came out of college however. That being said, I do think Jordan Leggett should be a consideration in the third. He is 6'5" 265, legit TE size and extremely athletic for a kid that big. Yea I meant coming out of college. I distinctly remember him being in the mid 30s. I'll go back and watch some more of yer boy, but the competition's tight in those mid rounds. Sprinkles, Engram, Garrett, the underrated Hodges, the Miami kid, and now some small school jobber named Saubert is getting involved.

Yea, i meant like if we trade back from #6 to #12-15.. Haven't seen much of Njoku. Never been inspired yet. I see a lot of Jordan Reed in Engram who i was really high on, and Sprinkle... Gates. The same "lumber faster than he looks, better blocker than you think, natural ball-tracking" TE. Reed is about 15-20lb heavier and a much better block than Engram. I still love him though and think he'd be great in the slot. Kind of like how we use Decker. Sprinkle to me is more of a Heath Miller type than Gates. Gates was a superb athlete.

totally missed the game. hopefully i can catch a rerun... Howard seems like an impossibility now unless we get into a trade back scenario... Sucks. Moving on to Engram/Sprinkle? Sounds like Hunt put some of the wiggle on display I fell in love with. I don't think there is anyway we'd be able to trade back up for him so we'd definitely have to trade back from 6. However, I could see the Bill possibly taking him at 10. Engram and Sprinkle are nice players, but I'd rather take Njoku over both of them. To me Engram is a WR and Sprinkle is a well rounded TE, but not a game changer. Njoku would stretch the field and eat up LBs and Ss. Yea, i meant like if we trade back from #6 to #12-15..

Tough to read stuff like this and not wonder if i'm over thinking the whole Fournette thing. You ARE overthinking the whole Fournette thing. People did the same thing with Peterson, which is how he dropped to the Vikings. Touché!!

Tough to read stuff like this and not wonder if i'm over thinking the whole Fournette thing. Add to that the unflattering news coming out about Cook. Here was the blurb from Walterfootball. The combine interviews and pre-draft visits are going to be very important for Dalvin Cook. There are some minor off-the-field concerns regarding Cook; not so much with his character, but the company he keeps. Cook is said to have an entourage that has some real thugs. These friends have teams worried that it could be dangerous for Cook to continue hanging around them. Teams are concerned that Cook drinks a heavy amount and could have some challenges with his focus from having multiple kids with multiple women. They think that leaving the state of Florida would be good for Cook's long-term career and could help him to focus on becoming a professional. However, some team sources are worried the entourage will follow Cook wherever he goes, as that was the case at Florida State. Thus, it would help Cook to go to a team with established leadership in the locker room that can help steer him in the right direction. Read more at walterfootball.com/seniorbowl2017rumors4.php#TGqBGGhO2Cp7AXvg.99Not surprised. Been hoping to this was not good to follow him out of college, but insert wish in one hand shit in the other expression here. Wtf, pulling out not a thing anymore? I still love the kid and believe he's going to rise to meet whatever challenges come his way... but Fournette. Yea.

Is anyone else warming up to this Davis Webb kid as a late round developmental guy? I know we already have two of them but he checks a lot of the boxes.....big strong kid, nice release, good arm strength. I've flirted with flirting with him, but you already touched on it. We've got enough "Clay" already. Given everything that's happened between Chad's second shoulder surgery and today... we need the answer. not more questions.

Working through the South practice and I'm still a big fan of Garcia. Hopefully there is a run on the CB's and he somehow falls to our second rounder. Isadora has been nothing but meh as has been McDermott. I think the North has better Olineman especially now with Lamp out for the game. Is anyone else warming up to this Davis Webb kid as a late round developmental guy? I know we already have two of them but he checks a lot of the boxes.....big strong kid, nice release, good arm strength. Other than that I don't know much about him but hearing DJ call him a possible second rounder is laughable. I'm surprised there is not more chatter in here. Maybe this would help....my quick 4 round fix the offense draft. 1st- Dalvin Cook 2nd- Antonio Garcia 3rd- Jeremy Sprinkle 4th- Tyler Orlosky......probably too high for him but it's Senior Bowl week Edit: The center from UK(Toth) absolutely sucks balls. Pauline hasn't been to kind to Sprinkle this week. I've seen enough sprinkle in-game footage to feel confident about him. He's an underrated blocker and just scraping the surface of his receiving ability. Tough to say if he has the ceiling Howard does (who i think is a better natural athlete), but there's TON of upside.

Knew you would be all over the TE angle to that one -- also sounds like the kid from South Alabama, Gerald Everett has impressed so far this week. So, is there any chance Howard is a possibility for us at 6 or is that too high? I know, I wish could find more on Everett. He's been the apple of many scouts' eye, but i don't have access to the film they do. I would love to see another Jaguar in green and white. I see the report this morning about Howard blowing the socks off the practices (no surprise there) and wondered the same thing. I mean, in retrospect was Graham or Gronk worth #6? Absolutely... does Howard fit that bill? Kinda, yea... 'Bama never used him appropriately though and so we're now placing a ton on practices and work outs. Fuck. You would have been a dream pick if we were selecting at #19 again this year.
