I think we're overblowing Pickett's hands. They're close to Burrow's and he's doing just fine for himself.

 

 

At least Burrow doesn't wear two gloves like a total weirdo.

Teddy two gloves is a pretty sweet nickname though...

Some fun names in this draft. So far my favorites are "Smoke Monday" and "Big Kat Bryant".

Hand size is a dumb judgement.  There is a whole lot of busts on the list of largest hand sizes.

Big hands don’t mean success. No one says they do. However, small hands almost always mean failure. It’s one of the most accurate truisms in NFL history. Michael Vick is one of the only QB’s who has ever been successful with small hands.

Strongly disagree. Big strong hands are a huge advantage. I have small hands. If there was one and only one thing I was given the power to change going back, it would be my hands.

Doesn’t matter what position.

Jalen Hurts had 8 fumbles, 6 lost his last year in college.

Pickett had 3 fumbles, 2 lost.

Sanders has been impressive , really nice pass rushing class

Beavers looks good in coverage

It’s not that teams judge QBs on hand size, it’s that they believe in certain thresholds at the position. 

My current wish list for the three #1 picks, in no particular order:

Green

Johnson

Lloyd.

I’m assuming Gardner is gone. And Ojabo.

The way Johnson is lighting up the senior bowl he may be gone by eagles pick.

By itself that looks to be disproving the hand size thing, but it could also mean that Hurts could have just been irresponsible in his ball security.

As beast said, some really good edge rushers. You think Hutchinson, Thibodeaux, Ojabo, and Johnson will all be gone?

I mean if Godwin is willing to come here, on a bit of a discount because of his injury, it'd be foolish not to take him. Chark too. Or use a 4th or later pick on a guy. I don't know anybody here that wants a first used on one, and most mock drafts people are posting don't have a WR being taken until much later. 

He tore his ACL and MCL. I'm a little skeptical of trying to sign him. Chark is interesting.

 Part of Flores’s thinking was probably hoping Caldwell and Lovie Smith would join in, and the case could likely be made both the Lions and Bears are worse now, than they were with black coaches.    
 The Texans may have screwed themselves, any white coach they hire, needs to have a better record than David Culley’s 4-13, or a case could be made against them as well. 

I think he's alleged it as a class which would mean any prior coach or coaching candidate are parties to the case whether they want to be or not potentially. It would have to get certified as a class action which is it's own problem.  I think every other team is included as a John Doe. If Flores prevails in a class action, members of the class could file claims against individual teams as members of that class.   This is the caption:

The perfect joke here would be:

I bet your hands wouldn't be the one and only thing your wife would change going back. 

I won't make that joke because it's in poor taste and offensive.

It’s all about how you can handle a wet ball. The Browns had it right.

I think given his age it's not a big concern.  He would have drop in production next year with the Eagles anyway.   He may not really be able to sign until he is cleared.  I don't think that would be until this summer.  He's someone that is a long-term signing.  I like Chark as well.

I like Johnson, Sanders, Ebiketie, and Williams (not knowing about off the field issues) better than Ojabo, Karlaftis, and Leal.

This EDGE class is completely insane.

No one has even talked about Tyreke Smith. That freak is a boom-or-bust 2nd round prospect most years.
