He and DJ Moore move like Antonio Brown when the ball is in their hands. They show no wasted movement, in particular their ability to stop-and-go. I also like how they attack the ball in the air.

I think he meant Wilfork

Tim Settle - DL - Hokies

NFL Media's Lance Zierlein compares Virginia Tech DT Tim Settle to former Patriots and Texans DT Vince Wolfork.

"Settle has rare gifts for a big man with good mass, play strength, quickness, and agility," writes Zierlein. That's similar to Wolfork, who despite being a massive human, was able to show agility along with strength that made him a force during the New England Dynasty. Zierlein lists his that his "weaknesses" as having balance issues at times, and he'll need to make sure he keeps the weight (6'3/335) in check. If he can, he's a long-time NFL starter, and Zierlein believes he could go in the second round.

1st round talent, but I’m scared of him. Can’t be trusted. This year’s WR class is so underrated.

Antonio Callaway - WR - Gators

NFL Draft Scout's Rob Rang lists Florida WR Antonio Callaway as a potential "diamond in the rough" in the 2018 NFL Draft.

Callaway's issues have been well-documented, and with good reason. Nevertheless, when he's been on the field, the talent has been electric despite playing with horrific quarterback play during his time with the Gators. "Gallaway’s character needs plenty of investigating after three incident-filled years in Gainesville, but it won’t take scouts long to acknowledge his rare athleticism," writes Rang. "Scouts, in fact, could see shades of another former Diamond in the Rough — Chiefs’ Pro Bowler Tyreek Hill — as both possess the elusiveness and acceleration to offer big-play potential as a receiver, runner and returner."

Will Hernandez - G - Miners

NFL.com Analyst Bucky Brooks believes that UTEP G Will Hernandez could be a "missing" piece for the Vikings.

Hernandez is consistently grades as one of the best guards in the class, and if not for the ridiculousness that is Quenton Nelson he might be at the top. "The offensive line was vastly improved last season, but there is still a need for an upgrade at the guard position," writes Brooks. "Hernandez is a mauling run blocker and he's surprisingly nimble in pass protection. His physicality is a perfect fit for a team looking to close out wins with the running game." The only question is whether or not he'll still be around when Minnesota makes their 30th pick, so they may need to trade up to procure his services.

Me, Clyde, and the new guy Dloading whatever his name is (the bad speller) are the only three guys that believes that Jackson has what it takes to be an “elite” QB in the league:

Lamar Jackson - QB - Cardinals

ESPN's Dan Graziano lists the Patriots as one of the teams that could trade up for a quarterback.

Graziano lists the Patriots as the fourth most likely team to trade up for a QB, behind the Bills, Cardinals and Broncos, respectively. With the newly-acquired first-round pick from the Rams in the Brandin Cooks trade along with the extra second-round pick from the 49ers when they dealt Jimmy Garoppolo near the trade deadline. Graziano thinks that a trade up could be for Lamar Jackson, and they could move up into the middle of the first-round to grab him. That would be an awful lot of fun.

Jaleel Scott - WR - Aggies

NFL Media's Lance Zierlein compares NMSU WR Jaleel Scott to Detroit Lion WR Kenny Golladay.

Scott was one of the key pieces in helping New Mexico State reach a bowl game for the first time in a long time, and the 6-foot-4, 218-pound wideout could have a bright NFL future. Zierlein list of his strengths include his catch radius and ability to absorb contact, but notes that he'll have to improve his routes and doesn't possess ideal quickness. Still, with this size and production, you should expect Scott to go on Day 3, and he could sneak into Day 2 if a team falls in love.

Yes. I hope he was able to leave a great impression. He’d be a nice addition to our offense.

I'm still not the guy nor want to be the guy to try and find the right people for Allen to work with but if you're talking about anything that could come with, and even the things that people overrate when it comes to QB1 working with QB2 and QB3 on the depth chart, pairing up Rivers with Allen for X number of months/years would be one of the more attractive things if I'm somebody that's looking out for the best interests of Allen.

Key note in there is the stuff about how people overrate the mentoring role in A LOT, but not all, instances. I'm never the guy to say quarterback X is now going to be SO MUCH incredibly better because of quarterback X ahead of him for the near future. I'm not that guy in most cases. But it's a very small puzzle piece of the entire puzzle and I think there COULD be a better, more beneficial relationship there between Rivers/Allen than QB1 and QB 2/3 on a lot of other teams.

But also you can never REALLY be so sure because more often than not you don't get that between QB1 and QB 2/3 or it's something people overrate to begin with.

If true, that's unfortunate. I like Street. Well-built. Natural athlete (4.58, 40 inch vertical, 700-lb squat in his past). Muscular. Good get off. Has some scheme versatility as an inside and/or outside guy for a lot of teams. Should be able to play in the nickel. Very good Notre Dame game. Dominated at East-West Shrine Week. Interviewed well. Needs to become more of a technician and quicker with his strength and punch. Length gets him. Might never reach elite pass rushing ability.

We'll see what does or does not come out first.

Arden Key falls well short of goal in 40-yard dash at pro day

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000924835/article/arden-key-falls-well-short-of-goal-in-40yard-dash-at-pro-day

In following with my stance that I don't comment too much on a 40 or other time without having seen it with my own two eyes I will just say that I don't think this will be the first time the words "Arden Key falls well short of goal" are used in his remaining football career.
