It was a freaking suggestion let it go, already. You obvioulsy hated the idea and we understood it in that thread. Don't understand why you keep bringing it up.
As for the whole draft guru/expert I am not. It has been very well stated and said.
You know how I feel about the 3-cone and short shuttle times. That's my guage for the ability to get separation and make those cuts without losing a lot of acceleration. Bryant's times were bad, real bad.#s don't mean squat to me if you don't display the tools necessary to succeed at the nfl level on tape...case in point neither dez briscoe or danario alexander (who both put up #s this year) look to me on tape like impact nfl wrs...
i don't care about #s...i want to see the physical tools to get off press coverage to be able to track the ball down the field to produce separation in and out of cuts and to do something with the ball once it is your hands...dez bryant at 4.52 is plenty fast enough and he will go get the ball when it is in the air...and he will highpoint the ball and he will lay it on the line to catch the ball..and he will carry defenders for extra yards after the catch and he will break tackles...
i mean the kid does it all imo...he may not streak by dbs on a consistent basis but i can guarantee you that when the balls in the air he has the mentality that the ball is his...
i want that on my football team...i'm tired of 3 yard receptions and no vertical over the top real threat and guys who don't make guys miss and carry guys for extra yards...tough yards...
i want a horse...a go to guy...

Right now some things don't mesh with Bryant. On tape he looks fantastic but you know, I'm pretty sure you're the one that said it to me once, that the DBs in the Big 12 don't play press. They don't get in the receivers face and make it difficult for him to get separation.
There is something absolutely missing here. I've seen Bryant make guys miss not only as a receiver but in the return game, he makes great cuts, change of direction without decelerating, etc. The times don't match.
Remember when I posted about Scott Long from Louisville placing in the top performers at the combine in every catagory for the WRs yet his production didn't match. This is the opposite.
Is there a better measure? I don't put too much stock in 40 times cause football isn't played in a straight line. Taylor Mays is a prime example of straight line speed but he can't change direction, he has no instinct and can't defend the pass worth a crap.Well then that's a very poor and unreliable gauge my friend. Too much noise, not enough signal. Sometimes the times mean something. Sometimes they really don't.
Alright but I would take Eric Berry over him in a trade up giving up our 3rd. Any GM that can pull that off has my respect, lol.i'm throwing those 3 cone and shuttle times out...chalk it up to a bad day...lol
scott long to me was way too upright at the combine in drills...something there i didn't like...
anyways...remember truth that for me the tape trumps all...workouts pro days...they don't matter to me that much if i see what i need to see on tape...had he run a 4.8 i'd be genuinely worried...he didn't...i'm going with the tape...
and i don't for the life of me believe that those 3 cone and shuttle drills he ran today are indicative of the tape...
