I'd be happy with Wilson, Thrash (more so for Giggles but he's pretty good), Washington or Rice. The rest are probably out of our range.

Don't disrespect AJ like that. Xavier has a long way to go to get to that level.

obviously.... Its not disrespect if you keep it in the proper context. 

Im not surprised that McMillan had a slightly better combine than Polk. I have liked McMillan a bit more. He has the longer arms, bigger hands, and is faster.

McMillan is very slept on behind Odunze and Polk.

I cant draft Thrash…i just cant

If the Eagles are to take a WR in this draft, I much prefer a prospect with proven ability to win in the slot as well as outside.  Brown and Smith have already demonstrated that ability; having 3 WRs with inside/outside versatility is a nightmare to defend

Its going to be key to Kellen Moore's system that incorporates a lot of air Coryell. I really think theyll be adding a speed WR this year whether through free agency or the draft. 

Mitchell Is the better pick

I keep seeing draftniks love AD Mitchell. I wasnt impressed. But its damn hard to argue at this point. He has some of the most elite height/weight/speed combos coupled with longer arms.

While that's nice, John Ross went on to do next to nothing in the NFL.

he was a far better prospect too. much more polished WR. Of course, his problem was injuries.

Correct.  IIRC, Ross actually tweaked his hamstring on that run, or the second run.  And he didn't finish the drills at the Combine.

Ross had some injury issues that pretty much screwed his career. Hopefully this guy can stay healthy. Helps that you can't really touch WRs now

Yeah maybe.  I guess we’ll see where he goes.  A lot of scouts had him in the late 2nd round but that was before he ran a 4.21 

Hot take but 40 yard dash is the most overrated measurable at the combine.

If you run anything sub-4.5 then only your playstyle dictates whether or not you’re an NFL caliber deep threat. Guys like Desean, like Tyreek often have breakaway TDs where they’re 5-10 yards behind the coverage. If they ran a 4.4 that’s still an open touchdown. It’s their route running, their understanding of the coverage, their downfield experience, and their intuition/intangibles that make them great deep threats. The speed helps make them slightly better deep threats, but the difference between 4.3 and 4.4 isn’t multiple yards of separation, even in a long route.

Deandre Hopkins at 4.62 is a better deep receiver than 90% of the sub-4.5 guys. Jeremy Maclin at 4.4 was significantly better downfield than John Ross at 4.22. Devonta Smith ran a 4.54, Mecole Hardman a 4.33… but you’d think those were flipped based on how they perform. 
 

The 40 is just to let you know which guys are so slow you consider dropping them off your board. IMO a 4.21 vs a 4.35 will have 0 relevance in how their careers go. Theyre both fast, take the guy with the better tape.

Yeah. Leggette scares me with route running. And to find out hes not 6'3'' or 6'4'' as listed, but 6'1'' he lost a lot of luster for me.

Im not surprised he doesnt get separation. I started cooling on him when I noticed his rounded routes. THEN he measured in far below what he was listed at.

I'd be cautious even at #53. Im afraid he could be another Treylon Burks situation. Too raw.

Someone might get an AJ Brown. But I wouldnt touch him before the 3rd round. Too many other good WRs size and speed, AND polish.

Don't worry, Aaron Moorehead is here to help him fine tune his game and become the best WR he can be.

JJ McCarthy apparently looked really good throwing today.  Him going top 20 would be good news for the Eagles; every QB drafted in the first round pushes a very good prospect down to #22

Any NC Eagles and Ween fans in the house?

Going to see them in Asheville in April.

It's going to be epic!

Ross should have been good. His profile and production was so top notch outside of injuries. However, he apparently didn’t really love football and didn’t work very hard at it in the pros.

Think of all the trade scenarios. Thrash + a 5th for a stud player.
