re: PFF Mock Draft - Interesting when lined up with the Junior talk

If Ruggs runs a 4.3 he's going to go in the first round.

I am no insider by any means and to be honest I could not tell you the last NFL game I have watched. Doubt it has been in the last 10 years and probably longer as that game does nothing for me. So again I do not follow the league or the news around it so my information is limited on what I get.

However I do play in a monthly poker game I travel to that two of the guys are former NFL players and both are now scouts for the previous teams they played for. The word this past Saturday, as I love to bug them this time of year regarding UA players, is yes Ruggs is expected to be one of the fastest guys at the combine but not one of the top 3 or 4 WRs coming out. The draft is deep and other positions are high priority for many teams. Now that could all change based on bowl and combine performances along with what teams do in regards to trades and free agency this spring. But many think they can still grab him late in the 1st rd maybe even 2nd and with the depth of the draft at WR why Smith is looking like 2nd rd.

Just passing along what I heard.
