    I dunno. He looks all quickness to me. Seems small, especially against Louisville. Regardless of measurement he is quicker with his feet than Willis. I don't know how Willis got those SS and three cone numbers when he looks so straight line and lumbering.

    Which of the SS or 3-cone are supposed to show quick stops and starts?


    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    - He isn't a highly talented player who slid because of character concerns

    Whoever that is, that's Ted's guy
    That is only if its a CB.

    I recall my original pipe dream of getting Mixon in the 3rd. Now that the chic he punched has come out and done a presser with him and they have made up and she said some really nice things about him and his sincerity I believe its possible TT grabs him if he is there at 29. I would personally prefer TJ Watt. He has the holy trifecta. Motor, blood line, tools. I honestly don't recall a draft where "mock" drafts were so all over the map.

    Barry Sanders or Deion Sanders.

    I think taking a player that is a 4-3 end in college and trying to make them a stand up 3-4 outside linebacker is a mistake in the first round. There are enough edge rushers from a two point stance in this draft to not have to transition a player and wait 3-4 years to see results. You take a cat like Willis, not a bad football player, he didn't blow my socks off from film but he had decent measurable athletic talent, but he seems like he would be awfully stiff in coverage and playing the run. His get off out of two point stance would be concerning as well.

    I personally would rather take a Takk McKinley from UCLA who did play with his hand on the ground 60% of the time but also played as an outside and inside linebacker. that guy has great get off.

    Last one in first round was Daryl Thompson in 1990. I don't know. They really need to fix the D. I know the draft is not just for help in the current year, but if they don't make a concerted effort to fix the D this year, that's just one more year gone with A-Rod not getting any younger. #fixtheD

    I get that we need d. I want d. I am just saying that Mixon is probably the best all around back in the draft. He returns. He catches passes. He runs tough. If TT doesn't see a character problem going forward and a talent that should go top 10 drops to him I think he pulls the trigger.

    I'd be happy with Mixon...GB would prob be a good spot for him too.

    I heard Conley could drop to the 3rd round. I'd take that chance if we haven't already rolled the dice on Sidney Jones.

    I'd prefer Mixon in the second and an Edge/CB in the first. Doubt the NFL cares what I want though.

    I just noticed that Tyus Bowser played hoops for 2 years at Houston. That athleticism means that TT is going to take him.

    He is a franchise left tackle. Could draft him and forget about the position for a decade or more.

    I have now decided who I want at #1, not who I think TT will take:

    Mixon
    No longer the member of any fan clubs. I'm tired of jinxing players out of the league and into obscurity.
