...in thinking that, all things considered, this draft is nothing special?
Am I deluded...
- Thread starter Iron Doc
- Start date
Experts say it’s one of the deepest, but just lacks the top end talent. Hoping the Bears trade back and draft a bunch of dudes with picks from 25-55
Somewhat shocked how some of Iowa’s players did in the combine … especially in the speed department where Huggins didn’t fare too well but speed and football smarts are way different as someone will get a steal on him
I think his hamstring was most definitely not 100%.
He shouldn't have run at least the 40.
I hope the evaluators note this and disregard the time.
He can run again at Iowa’s pro day as all of them can to improve their scores.
Actually the opposite for me.
I thought it was pretty clear that both Castro and Higgins would not do well in the speed department. There wasn't anything about either of their onfield games that indicated they had even average speed at their respective positions. They both excelled at knowing their positions, assignments, the overall defensive strategy and alignment and reading the opposing O. And having good instincts.
If I’m a GM or coach, I put more stock into game film as my primary source and consider the combine as a secondary source of info such as interviews and physiological testing.
I think that makes more sense as well.
My comment was directed specifically at the 40 times.
That neither of them did well on that pure speed measure says little about their other qualities at their positions. They can both obviously play at a high level. Unfortunately, measureables are a significant component of draft position for most players.
Both of them will be fine. They won't be selected until late, but that won't stop them from making a roster.
From a fantasy prospective next year's draft is projected to be worse (unless Arch comes out)
I never think any draft is special. Can honestly say I have never watched or followed one.
