I want to know how Okung is a guaranteed pro bowler? Prospects like him come through every single year.

Hootie 03-01-2010 05:58 PM

well I'd rather be drafting at #10 as opposed to #5 as a Chiefs fan, that's for sure

Jason Smith is playing RT, so that kinda speaks to it...

They're all factors in the decision but the Combines help to level the playing field due to the differences in talent across the country.

Also, the personal interviews reveal far more about an individual's character and motivation than game film. Do you seriously think it's wise to invest millions (if not tens of millions) without spending time to do complete an in-depth interview with these players?

It's extremely important to gauge their strength and speed, which is something that can't be garnered by game film.

No, Pioli has made statements that indicate that the combine is just a show.

I think he said he likes the interviews and that they're important.

He's said that game film and scouting are more important. Don't have the link.

Then Pioli's a ****ing moron.

Which shouldn't be a surprise.

How well did Smith play?

Awful.

He played the whole year at RT, had a lot of struggles (as many spread LTs have), and now he has post-concussion syndrome and his future availability could be up in the air.

Wow, that sucks ass for the Rams.

If the Rams take Bradford at #1, I'd be worried.

The last two years, they've taken "safe" guys in the top 2, and both have been huge disappointments so far.

Now they could draft an incredibly risky prospect at QB, and he only has one legitimate weapon.

is this another trap link to get people to go to WPI?


not going to fall for it this time :harumph:

And there is no doubt what I guy does with the pads on in a game is what really matters. This should be obvious.

He also said he loved scouting and showed that by signing 1 cut who was from his former team.

I believe it had to do more with Dick Vermeil taking everything John Bunting said about Sims as gospel.

It still sickens me to think we could have stood still and got Henderson. I was worried about Haynesworth and thought he benefited more from Henderson's presence at UT and admittedly didn't want him, but I did want Big John.

Mecca 03-01-2010 08:15 PM

If the Chiefs hadn't taken Sims the Vikings were, just remember that.

How does a GM thinking that game film is the most important thing equal Pioli already knowing who he will draft? Big leap there.

A CB running a crap time is a good way to not get drafted.

Flowers ran a 4.58.
