Packers like N'Keal Harry. Have for a long time.

Joey Fucking Sloth, 4.53 40! 6-2 228, 38.5 vertical, 10 wonderlic, 4.53 40.

By comparison, Metcalf: 6-5 228, 40.5 vertical, 35 wonderlic, 4.33 40.

4.33!!! Nuff said.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

4.47 and he still was a disappointment.

4.47 is sloth compared to 4.33.

4.47 is sloth compared to 4.33.

Your streak for being dumb is Ripken-esque. Kudos

Also Troy Williamson is on line 1, Darius Heyward-Bey is holding on line 2.

Day 15

Foster Moreau TE, LSU
Films: Florida,

First Take: Moreau had a pretty good combine where he was able to put up some impressive numbers in the 40 and the vertical jump. He was never a high priorty in the LSU passing game catching around 25 balls a season, but he did make some tough catches over the middle and on the run for LSU in the games that i watched. LSU asked him to do a lot of blocking in their run game and pass game. As a blocking he needs to get stronger and refine his technique and although I may sound critical he could have more success in the NFL than top three guys if he works at it. His feet stop moving on contact a lot of time and he seems to be wall and seal guy on the edge. He doesn't bend enough at the knees when pass blocking and needs to break down and run his feet in space. In college it is good enough sometimes just to put your body between the running back and the defender, in the NFL it will not lead to a lot of success. He drops his head on kick out blocks and again he stops his feet. Moreau would seem to be a mid-round project that could contribute as a rookie. I think he has some potential to be a starter down the road.

Day 15

Kahale Warring TE, San Diego S (Whale Vagina St.)
Film: Nevada, Highlight

First Take: Warring is a guy that scouts are not talking about to the media because they see some really high ceiling type potential out of him. He was a multi-sport kid growing up and was late to the game of football. He is a natural pass catcher. Warring catches the ball out away from his body and looks the ball into his hands. His big frame and weight and maybe because he wears the #87 he looks a bit and plays a bit like Gronk. He seems unsure about himself in the run game, but his footwork looks decent. What astounds me about Warring is he has terrific body control whether in the pass game or in the run game. He looks really fluid. I wouldn't be surprised if he goes in the late second round or early in the third round.

Eddie "The Cat" Oliver. Agile and quick like a cat. Going to be a beast I think.

The last defender to be that size and have that sort of lateral movement/agility was JJ Watt per some folks on Twitter.

JJ Watt was like 5 inches taller.

Only if he lives on an island.

Yep, which makes JJ all the more amazing. This isn't to say Oliver is JJ 2.0, who knows how hard he is willing to work, etc, but there is a lot of great raw material there with him. I really like his potential and hope he is available for us.

I’m hoping for Oliver too. I have a feeling NFL teams are on him too and he’ll never make it. Hope I’m wrong!

Day 16

Gary Johnson LB, Texas
Films, Baylor, Georgia

First Take: The guy is fast. If you want a linebacker that can close the distance in a hurry he is your guy. On the down side is that the other team's water hydration specialist could block him. He is small, he could play safety and he wouldn't seem out of place, and what is worse is he small and does read and react quick enough to beat the blocks to the ball. Johnson looks like he needs to watch and understand more film. I didn't see that he was asked to a do a lot of man coverage, he either covered space, or blitzed. Johnson has good speed so you would think he is a better blitzer, but he has poor timing. His speed might attract some teams, but overall his instincts and size limitations makes him a day 3 draft-able player.

Day 16

Te'von Coney LB, Notre Dame
Film: Stanford, Michigan

First Take: Coney is a very instinctual football player. Does a nice job of reading and playing down hill in the run game. Conely blitzes well, and although he seems to significantly lack speed in the open field he can cover zones, and jump routes over the middle. I assume Coney watches and comprehends film well otherwise his physical limitations would be more exposed. He will be guaranteed to struggle at the next level if he is asked to run with TEs. I have talked a lot about hand usage during these break downs, and sure Coney does a decent job with hand usage, but what he does really well is he dips his shoulders well to get underneath blocks. He provides the smallest target to blockers with this little technique. Coney and TJ Edwards are similar players. Neither are blessed with overwhelming athleticism but both are heady football players that will have to come out of the game during obvious passing situations.
