Lol what you got against Basham? Don't let @Eye Cue DA GAWD make you hate on him. shyt I hope he's a option for Dallas. He legit
Lol swag was gassing him up. He's solid 2nd-3rd round guy but swag keeps trying to act like he is great. lets see how he does in the other drills it didnt look like he could bend his hips on tape

There are tons of DE/OLB I like more than him but like I said he will go late 2nd prob

I judge a prospective QB on 1a. ARM and 1b. accuracy under pressure. Deshone Kizer should be the #1 pick. You cant work on an arm in the offseason. A QB coach cant give you an arm. You cant develop an arm in a system. Kizer can create the magic that no other QB in this draft can create, and has the physical tools to carry it out. There's only 4 QBs worth drafting in this draft, and Kizer is the best of the bunch. Myles Garrett is the #1 prospect of course, but it takes 5 defensive stars to match what a star QB gives you. Keep drafting QBs until you get one. Cleveland cant fukk this up.
Come on Eye Cue. We don't need 2 of your accounts posting in 1 thread :francis:

One of your accounts is enough :Holdupnow:

There's never been a year before 2017 where I begged for a TE. George Kittle had a great combine for a blocking TE too and would be a perfect counter action to the Ebron problem

Combine Report 3/5: Dede Westbrook Going Undrafted?

On Friday evening I wrote about red flags potentially being raised on Oklahoma receiver Dede Westbrook. Then yesterday I wrote those flags have been raised. But for many teams it’s well past the red flag stage.

On Saturday evening I learned a number of teams have stamped Westbrook as undraftable for a variety of reasons. Beside the reasons previously mentioned such as declining an invitation to the Senior Bowl then not participating in combine workouts, I’ve been told Westbrook’s interviews here in Indianapolis have been horrible. Those at the interviews say Westbrook has been guarded and seemed untruthful. There are also off the field issues, many well documented and some more of a personality nature. Oklahoma’s pro-day is next Wednesday, March 8th, and will be Westbrook’s final chance to perform in front of scouts. It’s expected to be well attended as running back Joe Mixon, who was not invited to the combine, will be working out. I feel Westbrook will eventually be selected in the draft but rather than a second day pick as his talents warrant, expect him to land in the very late rounds.

Despite the fact that he barely ran under 4.8 seconds in the 40, there are a number of teams and area scouts who feel tight end Adam Shaheen of Ashland will be selected in the third round. Based on Shaheen’s game film, they believe he’s sneaky-fast and has the ability to stretch the seam. They also love his pass-catching skills and feel he’s very natural snatching the ball from the air.

I’m hearing a lot of comparisons between Billy Brown of Shepherd and Thomas Duarte, the former UCLA receiver-turned-tight end who was selected in the seventh round of the 2016 draft by the Miami Dolphins. Both are solid college pass catchers who’ll need time to acclimate to a new position.

Despite the fact that he ran poorly Saturday, a lot of teams are not downgrading Cooper Kupp of Eastern Washington. Never known as a deep threat with vertical speed, one scouting consultant told me he’s still a terrific pass catcher who can create after the reception.

Some teams are concerned with the smaller frame of Solomon Thomas. He measured just under 6-foot-3 and 273 pounds, and there’s concern he may not have great growth potential. No one is arguing his playing ability.

While a number of mock drafts have the New York Jets taking Marshon Lattimore with the sixth pick of Round 1, a source close with the organization told me he fears the Ohio State junior could be injury-prone and spend as much time in the trainers room as he does on the football field. Lattimore struggled with hamstring injuries during his first two seasons with the Buckeyes. The comparison was made to another cornerback taken in the early part of Round 1 by the Jets and someone who has spent more time nursing injuries than playing football, Dee Milliner.

Back on January 15 during our Shrine Week preview, I made mention that Toledo defensive tackle Treyvon Hester would miss both the Shrine Game and the combine after undergoing surgery to repair a torn labrum. I was given an update Saturday and told that Hester, who had his surgery on December 8, is ahead of schedule and will work out for scouts sometime in early April. He’s expected to be 100 percent by training camp and will be ready to fully participate.

This is the best TE class ever. Kittle and Jonnu Smith looked like 2nd round picks to go along with the obvious guys. And that big ass Adam Shaheen kid looked great too.
