NFL DRAFT & RUMORS MEGATHREAD

I tend to give the big guys a little more slack as far as age.
One they're not as reliant on speed and two it takes a bit more to grow into that "grown man strength". We see this true with rookies on their last year grow into themselves. I believe Paul Saliai was this way.

Yeah but solia was a 4th round pick and projected as a nose. This guy looks more like a 3 tech to me

I think noses can take longer than 3 techs

Agree on all. I wish he was younger is the bottom line, but there seems to be quite a few solid looking 3 techs.

I haven't gotten around to checking out Joshua Farmer. I'm liking the 35" arms already for a 3 tech, I don't believe I watched a single FSU game this past year.
 
One last thought on the player visits... My memory may be flawed, but I think that Miami has tended to find UDFAs this way, signing some that came in for visits.

Before anyone gets too upset about the players Miami brings in for a visit... I do not believe that they drafted ANY of the players who they brought in last year.

Mostly, it's smoke.

Or confirming negative attributes that were suspected that other prospects didn't have and needed a deeper dive.

Players getting to know the coaching staffs would certainly help UDFA's make an easier choice.

Yep I can’t recall us ever

Yeah, I settled with a Top 40 grade, because of frame and ability with the ball in his hands, but the lack of testing does give me pause ranking him that high.

It's not the approach I'd take, but Loveland is the only TE I'd consider at 13. He has the polish and skill to win as a receiver and still gives you some physicality. But, I'd much rather draft Ferguson at 48 than Warren at 13.

You like Fannin Jr?

Can’t say I’ve seen fannins work but the frame and size would suggest h back to me

Add injury prone to that as well.

Personally I wouldn’t even waste a 7th round pick on Ewers. He doesn’t impress me even when he is healthy.

Ewers is an example of the high floor low ceiling types I wish to avoid. Same for the Oregon qb. Why do I want a lesser version of Tua?

Yeah no thanks
