I'm guessing it's the stat that shows he's one of the best at separation in the NFL.

From what I've read one of the knocks on him is that he doesn't have a lot of picks which is very un-ed reed

sharknado slashfic posted:From what I've read one of the knocks on him is that he doesn't have a lot of picks which is very un-ed reed Well he's a corner not a safety. And low picks is kind of normal in the NFL these days at corner and a product of good coverage so not getting the ball thrown your way. Maybe with his speed he will be good at dealing with some annoying slot receivers. You just don't see high INT totals like you used to.

I just think it's a funny comparison, I don't have a strong opinion about the pick tbh

sharknado slashfic posted:From what I've read one of the knocks on him is that he doesn't have a lot of picks which is very un-ed reed the big knock i see on him is that he plays at a really low weight (combine was 173, i think his pro day he weighed in at 182). which seems a little nitpicky - he's 6'1 and 20 years old, it shouldn't be a problem to play at like 190 or so. other than that, he's apparently fast as gently caress and extremely smooth when shadowing other players, with his height letting him stand up to the taller wideouts and stop them from making catches over his head. stephens is in his contract year and humphrey has been a little up and down with a big 2025 cap hit upcoming, so its definitely a position of high priority. when guyton came off the board i knew that there wasn't really anyone else i was super pumped about. maybe mitchell. when you're drafting at 30 you just kinda have to wait and then pick whoever drops to you, even if its not as sexy as getting a mauling tackle/guard. does remind me of when we picked humphrey in 2017. there was an early run on wideouts (corey davis, mike williams, john ross lol) and so no one that i was in love with was available at the 16th pick. i liked humphrey a lot but it felt like a 'take your medicine' kind of pick where it was a good player at a needed position, but you (or at least i) wanted something flashy instead at the time

i like that the ravens straight up have their whole draft board completely visible to the cameras every year when they draft. like 'we know who we like. everyone knows who we like. we dont give a poo poo.'

Steelers new GM and personnel guy having a 2nd consecutive killer draft

Overall days one and two are ok for the Ravens. I see how CB is a position that will be a need in the near future, and it usually takes a CB a full year or more of development before they're ready so it makes sense to draft one now instead of later. Like Brandon Stephens was "oh god not him out there" before he was suddenly very good. I really like OT in round 2 and "Edge" in rd 3, well I'm not optimistic. Oweh had a good year per advanced stats but still waiting for a breakout. Maybe between this guy, Ojabo and Oweh we can fill the void Clowney will leave but like I said I'm not optimistic. Just saw we took a WR in round 4. I am so sorry Devontez Walker. Your career is over before it started.

Those are Rashod Bateman's exact dimensions. Zay Flowers is short but that can't be fixed by dragging up the average of the WR room.

I saw from quite a distance a brown or tan hawklike bird of some kind at Druid Hill Park and it did one of those screeches like you hear in a movie when it shows a mountain with snow on it and maybe a lens flare. Maybe it was an owl too. I think the Bengals drafted a big offensive lineman who will either be very good at shoving people or suck at it and get injured.

That's the sound they use in movies all the time if I'm reading you correctly.

Yes, it was the sound that I've heard 100 times watching movies, and it was really wild to hear it in real life for the first time. Draft talk: Cincinnati needed offensive line and defensive line help, and those are the kinds of players they got with the first two picks, so I approve.
