re: Jack Bech to the Raiders

In any other year he’s probably not a 2nd round pick, but there is no question he is more than worthy of an NFL opportunity. NFL size, good senior year, strong Senior bowl performance. I think he carves himself out a role in the right system.

If you are drafted inside of 3 rounds you are making the roster if healthy and you stay out of trouble. When they draft you that high they will give you more of a chance as they have more invested in you. Bech will get his opportunity, he works hard and seems to have a good head on his shoulders. 2nd rounder? Maybe not in any other year, but this year he was and should get his shot.
He will get drafted and get his opportunity.
West Monroe always has excuses for everything. Congrats to the Broncos for going on the road and winning two straight., West Monroe coach said the Broncos could celebrate all they want after game one, you still have to win two out of three, Broncos listened.
Very weak draft this year for the offensive skilll positions for sure!

re: Jack Bech…BOOM!!!

Looks like it was a smart move for him to not run the 40 at the combine or pro day. His stock was high and could only have dropped. Best of luck to him!
Nobody wants to umpire any more. Fans/parents out of control. Quality has gone down as a result.

Huge break! That ball was low for sure.

Total clown show. Hunter makes sense (Heisman). Classic nepotism with the son, create as much buzz as possible (its the Sanders way), get them talking about you. Who retires somebody's jersey right after the season? Unless the NFL draft is right around the corner???? Almost as bad as Deon blaming his son's poor performance on his O-line, at a press conference, what little respect I had for them then was lost there.
NFL GM's and many scouting departments continue to place WAY too much value on athletic measureables.
Agree. 4.6-4.7 guy most likely. Knows he will go in the first round regardless, does not want to jeopardize that. I get not running at the combine. Still somewhat of a red flag not running at his pro day in his back yard, those times are always much more “generous”.

That is pretty shocking if accurate. Though he wasn't quite himself for some time due to injuries, there were a few times when he took off and looked faster than I was expecting. Tough and all-around solid player. I hope he can make a team somewhere in the NFL.


Agree. And LSU Pro Day times have a long history of being "generous".

Puka Nakua was a 4.65 too.
Because he’s fast he will get a slap on the wrist at most.

i have found, through my own training and training others...the ssb is harder than regular squats and if your upper back is weak even a little.....will fold you


This is correct. Most can only SSB squat around 85% of what they can back squat for this reason. It is why it is so popular with Pro Strongmen. Huge carryover to their events that also require a strong upper back and core.
quote:

Baalke is like the GM version of one of those coordinators who isn't very good, but bounces around the league for years because they are seen as a "safe" choice in a very risk-averse league.

He makes some legitimately very good draft picks. But he also picks only on measurables far too often and misses guys who might not have the right arm length or height or whatever else but are good players, and then takes a guy who is a workout warrior that doesn't produce on the field. You can't just get next to nothing out of your 2nd and 3rd rounders even if you nail the first rounders.


Agree. WAY to common in the NFL, drafting strictly on measureables, its "safe" harder to get fired when the workout warrior doesn't pan out vs. taking a chance on the bettrer football player who doesn't break records at the combine.
Amik is on the short side (5'9" or so), but very good cover skills.

Not a great day for AA, butterfingers, he's had some drop issues, but overall I think he took a big step forward this year and if he can clean his game up a little it could be special for him and the offense next year with Hilton playing on the outside like he can and Green working at TE.

AA will get better, drops are an issue but he’s done well overall.
