Hard to know. But I would like to know just how diluted the sample was.

Same thing happened to Reuben Foster who is a real piece of work. Apparently, Foster got into a fight with a hospital worker at the combine!Originally posted by pbmax View Post
Alabama ILB Reuben Foster failed his Combine drug test.
Foster's sample was diluted, which counts as a failed test. He's now in the league's substance-abuse program. Foster claims he failed the test because he was extremely ill and taking in an exceptional amount of fluids. This adds to a nightmare Combine for Foster, who was sent home after getting into an altercation with a hospital worker. Foster is recovering from shoulder surgery. Foster is an elite talent, but could fall to Day 2 because of his growing off-the-field concerns.One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

Sackseer numbers from Football Outsiders: Its their projection Edge players in the pros. It like athletic measurables, sack and pass defense production.
http://www.footballoutsiders.com/nfl.../sackseer-2017
In order:
1. Myles Garrett (doesn't think he is Von Miller though, as other pundit's have claimed)
2. TJ Watt
3. Tyus Bowser, Houston
4. Derek Barnett, Tennessee (this group of three behind Garrett are very close)
5. Solomon Thomas, Stanford
6. Jordan Willis, Kansas State
7. Takkarist McKinley, UCLA
8. Taco Charlton, Michigan
Bust Alert:
1. Charles Harris, Missouri - not a first or second rounder, plays more like run stuffer
Previous versions of this have liked Nick Perry.Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.Comment

If this has any significant correlation to success, I'd be happy with Watt. Up until this point, I'm not sure I wanted him in the first...Originally posted by pbmax View PostNo longer the member of any fan clubs. I'm tired of jinxing players out of the league and into obscurity.Comment

I should also state, however, that I have zero knowledge of prospects at this point. I don't watch college or youtube videos, and I build my opinion based on this forum and the occasional mock draft/article.No longer the member of any fan clubs.

The record of this one is pretty good, especially at sniffing out fan favorites and putting the kibosh on the hype. But they also have a few misses on both sides.Originally posted by Smidgeon View PostBud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs.

I don't want Watt or Harris in the 1st round.Originally posted by pbmax View Post
I think Harris has lost some athleticism, speed, and bend as he has put on weight; and, I don't think Watt is a 1st round talent at this time. He might be a 1st round value in a few years as he fills out and gets stronger; but that, by definition, makes him a developmental project.
Off of that list I wouldn't want Willis in the 1st either... I think he's a decent player, but he has a limited ceiling.wistComment

I can't speak for this guy as an actual scout, but every draftnik I read believes his reporting. He has a final roundup of rumors from each team, which is nice because it reminds me of the mock draft Paul Zimmerman used to do, repeating each rumor as he heard it and then making fun of the dumber ones.
Matt Miller: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2...big-board-moreGreen Bay Packers: A source on the scouting staff said the plan is to go defense early and often in this draft, unless a surprise player falls in Round 1. The same source said Joe Mixon is very much in play in Round 2. He remains on their board.Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs.

the conley dude is under investigation for rape. so he may not be a factor. this makes getting a top cb even harder for the Packers and moving up to get one a higher priority...if tt's so inclined. if he's not...then maybe he would take a chance and draft achillies jones later if he's there.Originally posted by pbmax View PostComment

I don't want a stinking CB in round one; Find a Pass Rusher !TERD Buckley over Troy Vincent, Robert Ferguson over Chris Chambers, Kevn King instead of TJ Watt, and now, RICH GANNON, over JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY LEONARD. Thank you FLOWERComment

I don't see a lot of separation between the top 5 or 6 corners in this draft. I see no reason to trade up to take one. After Lattimore is off the board a corner might not be taken for another 15 to 20 picks.Comment

Teams to worry about taking your favorite EDGE rusher:Originally posted by Bretsky View Post
Pick #
#2 49ers - Solomon Thomas
#9 Bengals - Barnett
#15 Colts - Roddick
#16 Ravens - Barnett
#32 Falcons - Lawson, McKinley, Watt, Harris
Wildcards
1. Cardinal - half the draftniks and rumors say they love Mahomes and are going QB. The other half think the team's offseason points to All-In and they are taking pass rush/defense.
2. Panthers - if there is one thing they are consistent about, its ignoring offense and drafting D lineman
3. Cowboys - if CBs aren't there, expect pass rush
4. Dolphins - interest in pass rush, but possibly not first round
5. Saints - probably with 32nd pick
6. Steelers - recent history of pass rush early (which has worked worse than previous history of finding late gems)Last edited by pbmax; 04-26-2017, 11:56 AM.Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.Comment
