Thanks for the breakdown. Didn't get to watch as much of the OL and haven't really been following them this year. Watched the re-cap and Spriggs stood out as lesser known (by me at least) OL with outstanding athleticism.

At RB, Ezikiel Elliott is The Man! He has everything you want in a RB. He wowed me with his quick feet and his blinding lateral quickness. Derrick Henry is not far behind Elliot in athleticism. That really surprised me. Henry is 6-3 247. That is the kind of size than Scot M. loves. Those two were far and away the best looking RB prospects.

There have been some draftboards and mocks that have Elliott making to our pick at 21 but I side with the draftboards and mocks that think Zeke will be long gone.

I like Henry in the 2-3 round, big explosive back. His running style (not body type) reminds me of Murray; Eddie George size with speed. Not a lot of side to side wiggle but good downhill vision with speed and momentum. With an OL that keeps him clean in the backfield and build steam could put up good numbers.

C.J. Prosise was very solid at everything he did. At 6-0 220 he could handle some 1st and 2nd down carries, he's a very good receiver, he has very good speed, and he is supposed to be a ST maven. There is a lot to like about him.

Alvin Walton? and I were discussing him a the RB thread. CJ backed up solid tape with good measurables. He's only been a RB for 1 season, so he's still learning he was a former WR.

Daniel Lasco may be the best athlete of the whole bunch.

Explosive dude, that gets injured a bunch. Read that he's a special teams stud.
Fast dudes that can tackle and are tough build a solid special teams unit...gonna check him out on film

Tyler Ervin of San Jose State is a good looking athlete. He can run and catch and he's been a good return man in college. He has a small frame at 5-10 192, so he would be limited to a 3rd down role and ST.

Never heard of this kid prior, so he's one of the people the combine will cause me to watch to on film. The NFLN guys were saying that despite his stature he toted the ball a ton some games 30+ carries. His quickness and speed are eye popping.

Do we know who the skins interviewed at the combine?

QB thoughts on how the QBs looked at the combine:

The big 3

Wentz delivered, to my eye clearly threw the ball better then anyone there. Solid footwork on 5-7 step throws. Ball came out clean, threw the ball with confidence. Looked confident.

Goff quick feet, quick arm, footwork wasn't as crisp as Wentz (to be expected for spread guy) Very fluid, looks natural throwing the ball, not as much pop in his arm as Wentz though

LynchDidn't throw the ball as well as I saw on film, mainly b/c imo he was thinking about his footwork in 3-5-7 instead on just ripping the throws. To my eye he has one of the best arms in the draft but didn't throw that way. On film Pax is still my pick for #1 QB.

Other guys that stood out to me:

Jake BrissettNow I'm speaking strictly about the combine. Jake threw the ball as well as anyone. Good footwork but a little plodding. But the his throwing motion and delivery of the ball is fluid and easy. Has plenty of easy velocity and wasn't trying to gun every throw (kinda like Wentz). But when it came time to throw the go routes I thought he was the best

Stave- arm talent stood out to me, he was like a mini-jugs machine the ball comes out clean with velocity, compact and consistent. Every throw was solid and the throwing mechanics were consistent nearly identical. Footwork was solid but a little choppy; missed the least throws to my recall

BoykinThrew the ball well. Nice compact delivery. Consistent mechanics. Footwork on the the 5-7 wasn't sharp but again its to be expected for a spread guy but threw the ball well (better then some pro-style QBs with solid footwork)

AdamsVery confident thrower with liver arm then I expected. Solid and consistent with his throws. Footwork was good for a spread guy

Brandon AllenRock solid footwork, good arm mechanics; not the most arm strength and it showed on the corner routes but had a good day throwing

Interesting choosing to use so many interviews with QBs.

I love it. You never rest at that position.

[30gut]

Over the past few years the top S have been drafted in the first round. There are a handful with good enough tape...Thompson, WV boys, J Cash. If they put up good measurables i think a couple will be first rounders.

It's way too early to make anything out of this but . . .

The highest rated players on the list that the team talked to are the D Line players and the QBs.

Everyone else on the list consistently grades out as a mid to late round picks according to:

Interesting that they talked to all those quarterbacks.

They have none on their roster now. It is also a negotiating ploy with KC. And they need a back-up too.

[KI Skins Fan]

I find it interesting that the Skins talked to two very talented players who might fall in the draft due to character concerns, namely Nkemdiche and Spence.

When there are character concerns it's a must, it's the only way to decide for yourself how much a problem it is.

Agree, a good GM could hopefully tell the difference between a Trent Williams and Fred Davis when they both got suspended for MJ. One was a good guy who got caught doing something stupid and is now a perennial ProBowler, and one was a hopeless pothead. That's a lot of interviews with players, coaches, teammates, family, neighbors, etc, etc...

Getting a good player who drops for a random one-time incident & something to prove.. would be awesome.
