Jets are the one I desire to trade with.

In a trade the 9ers would almost certainly get a future 1st rounder and with the Jets there is a reasonable chance that could be a top 10 pick. Imagine rolling into 2018 with two top 10 picks and not to mention the bounty of other picks the trade would net.


I'd love to have 2 picks in this year's draft. If we did trade something for next years 1st then I'd hope that we Load up to make a run at Rosen

Evan Engram - TE - Rebels

Ole Miss TE Evan Engram told Rotoworld's Josh Norris that he received a few sixth round grades following the 2015 season.

Engram said he was set on leaving for the NFL, but the feedback he received was not strong enough for him to feel comfortable with that decision. We aren't sure if the feedback came from the NFL Draft Advisory board or through other sources, but either way it is crazy. Engram will be an asset for whoever drafts him.

He's a former corner for crying out loud, hence, he has a lot of agility. Yoga has very little to do with it. :nonono:


Haason Reddick - LB - Owls


When speaking with Rotoworld's Josh Norris, Temple EDGE/LB Haason Reddick credited yoga for his ability to bend and turn the corner as a pass rusher.

Reddick explained that he and a few teammates participated in a few yoga sessions this summer and wants to continue that after the NFL Combine and leading into OTAs. Reddick is one of the "winners" of Senior Bowl week for his comfort in space, patience and speed as a run defender and pass rushing ability. The cornerback turned linebacker turned edge rusher turned linebacker is a possible top 50 selection.

If his hands are at least 9.75 inches to go along with his the 6'1", I'll let it pass.

Who is the last QB to be drafted in top two that was sub 6' 2"?

I can't recall off the top of my head.

Manziel seemed short.

So is Wilson.

they weren't top picks though. Drew Brees is 6'0 but he was also a 2nd rounder.

Arron Rogers and Andy Dalton are only 6'2" for what its worth.

Fran Tarkenton was also a dwarf.

6'1 is fine for a QB. That should concern nobody.

True but history has shown it has been a concern for teams drafting high.

I'm not sure why this is even a debate?

Leonard Fournette - RB - Tigers

An NFL executive in personnel says LSU RB Leonard Fournette is "right there" with former Ohio State RB Ezekiel Elliott.

"He's special," the executive said of Fournette. "He's right there with (Ezekiel) Elliott. He's more powerful." You'll hear more of this comparison in the pre-Draft process. Earlier this month, NFL Media conducted a poll on the subject. In it, three of five NFL executives said they would take Fournette over Elliott. You don't see guys with Fournette's size/speed combination very often," one said. "He's a rare, rare talent. He's the most talented runner to come out since Adrian Peterson."

I don't remember any QBs being considered for the first pick overall dropping because they weren't as tall as advertised.

.


Because there has never been a QB prospect worth drafting #1 overall who was 6'1 or shorter. That statement above is ONLY true when you talking about prospect/s whose school had listed them at being 6'5 but in reality checked in at 6'3 again. That's not a huge deal. But it would be a huge deal if you're listed at 6'2 but in reality measured an inch or two shorter. That was the fear with RGIII entering the combine.

I'm not talking about advertising or the drop pertaining to false advertising.

I'm talking about guys not getting drafted at the top that are 6'1".

How high would Drew Brees have been drafted if he was 6'3"?

To further expand on this. How many good starting QBs in the NFL are 6'1" and change right now?
