Welp, you gotta take the good with the bad. :) kccrow is here and now so is mugsy who's next mongo?

I might offset both of them, so call it a wash :P

I did not notice a correlation between hand size and success, except for that 9" seems to be the minimum. I'll look into these over the weekend when I get some time though, good suggestions.

No offense to you Jake, but articles like this just make me think of throwing crap at the wall until you find a turd that sticks. Heck, I'm sure I could add a bunch of combine numbers together, divide by 973, and end up with some construed statistic that favors my presentation. In the end, the reality is that you have to compare a player against a time-tested standard, which is exactly what NFL execs actually do. If a player fails to meet the standard in any one area, all is not lost, but failure to hit several of the standards usually means that player will find it difficult to compete. Then you have the tape portion of it. Not only does a player have to meet the predefined standards, but they also have to perform, according to the requirements of the position, on the football field. Donte Moncrief is a really nice player, but there is one thing that really pops at me with him and that is how he catches the football. Moncrief is a body catcher. Buyer beware, but the risk could end in a huge reward.

Blackbob is officially (disclaimer: OldSchool might be Blackbob as well) back! Mugsy was his handle on the Coalition. LMAO










Bummer he'll be banned in about 15 minutes.

crow would make a heck of an addition to the CP mock.

The most important statistic for a WR is having Peyton Manning throwing you the ****ing ball !

I think it's going to be Jordan Matthews.

That's where I can see Dorsey making an "upside" pick due to Matthews' superior measurables and work ethic. Beckham's value is also in his ability to return kicks though, so he could just as easily be the pick. Either guy will be fine starting from the slot in their rookie year and eventually transitioning out to the perimeter.

if ya'll need a warm body to fill a spot, let me know. :)

Calvin and Evans. Interesting.

Edit: wrong thread. McShay mock

I think Beckham is probably the #3 WR on a lot of boards now. Gone before #23.

I can't see us taking a TE in the first round. We have three TEs that are in the mold of what Reid had in Philadelphia. I think it's more about Reid's offense than it is about finding Alex Smith another Vernon Davis. Plus, the wide receivers that will be there at #23 have a lot more talent.

Yeah, doesn't have the red flags that Lee had last season and he is bigger than Cooks. People also see him as a better play maker than Cooks. My rankings would go:

1. Watkins
2. Evans
3. Beckham
4. Lee
t-5. Matthews
t-5. Cooks
