All of the QBs opted out of running except Sam Hartman so now he ran and is waiting to catch his breath for a second run. Never seen this at combine.

As a draft analyst, I (and EVERYONE ELSE including GMs) had to decide what to do with CJ Stroud's in-season tape vs the Georgia game. The UGA game was on a completely different level. It was his final game & against the best. Everything on the UGA tape has translated. Everything.

I've been thinking about this quite a bit over the last couple of years.
Wouldn't it be great if people knew how much they were loved/respected before they weren't with us anymore? Just take some time out to find someone and let them know before you can't anymore.

You decide to do Oilers cosplay and then you end up losing in classic Oilers fashion to a team missing 8 starters including QB, top two WRs and both RTs.

Nothing is better than people on twitter telling me about an Alabama State tackle and how bad he is and what a terrible pick is. I don’t know why I wasted time on his five games of tape as well as the time I spent on him at Senior Bowl. I should have just asked JefF from twitter.

The Texans got a 2nd rounder for Deandre Hopkins when he was the best WR in football and was headed for a new contract (and they had to take on David Johnson's bad contract).

Do not be surprised to see Bill Belichick find ways to use Marcus Jones not only as a slot corner, but also as a receiver. He was absolutely unguardable getting in and out of his routes when he was given receiver reps at Houston. Electric with the ball in his hands.

The combination of Stefon Diggs, Tank Dell, Nico Collins and Dalton Schultz is easily the most explosive and most talented collection of receivers the Texans have ever had by a LONG mile. If the OL holds up, they should be in serious consideration to become the top offense in FB

Feisty. Quick to step downhill and cut off the angle. Plays with controlled energy and good patience. Adequate lateral scrape with average knee bend. Comes to balance and sees what she hits. Strikes body on body and runs feet through contact. Excellent wrap and roll finish.

The Laremy Tunsil trade for Miami has now netted them: the 26th pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, the 12th, 36th and 102nd picks in the 2021 NFL Draft plus a 2022 first-round pick and 2023 first-round pick.

No pro day when Malik Nabers is about to run a 4.3 is an interesting choice if you're a 4.4 WR. While Nabers is my WR1 Marvin is WR2 & both are my top two prospects in the draft with both garnering a 6.8. However, there will be more teams with Nabers WR1 than the public thinks
Marvin Harrison Jr, likely the Draft’s Top WR, will do it differently. No agent. No testing at the Combine. Probably not at Pro Day.

I like to match up data points with tape study of that data to get context. One of the data points that I consider very important is comp % out of scrambles.
According to PFF (comp% when scrambling):

Daniels 46.7%
Nix 58.6%
Penix 23.3%
McCarthy 71.4%

One of the biggest disconnects on here (and fandom in general) is the belief that teams are influenced by opinions, mocks or reports from media. They have ALL THE intel on players (character/medical) & they trust their own evaluations. Media narratives don't influence teams.

I'm honestly not sure why Texans fans think that losing the first pick will somehow set the team way back. Are you sure they are locked in on any one player? Who is the can't miss guy? Bears could draft Anderson and leave QB1 for Texans. Texans could get Anderson or Stroud
