No sure he's a first rounder IMO
But if he falls past the second round it is a steal

1st Who bashed anyone?


2nd What are we arguing for? I could have sworn we were saying that some tests do not apply to some players like it does to others. Not if Juice is in the 1st round...

that's how slot WRs (like what landry will be) get open


They also can get open if a defender must respect speed downfield. Landry has the physicality to get off line and create separation if given a little cushion, but maybe not so much when an NFL safety or nickel can just jam at the LOS with little regard for getting beat deep.

SFP had said if you defend poor measureable that you have to bash good performances to be consistent.

nobody worries about slot WRs doing this. that's part of why they're usually shorter/slower

does he have the explosiveness to do this in the NFL? that's the point of physical testing

plenty of great college WRs could do it in college but lacked the physical tools to do it in the NFL

unless this was due to injury (which means he'll significantly improve his VJ/BJ), the odds of him doing well in the NFL are low

yea i think his ceiling could be like a mid 2000s hines ward in the right situation, maybe even better. he can catch the shite out the ball and works hard elsewhere.

Yes it is a big concern for the players whose game is predicated on Explosiveness!! Do you not understand that his game is not based on his athleticism and explosiveness? ETA: ODB's game is based on speed, so he had to test well! I love the comparison they used for Juice in Hines Ward. Hines ran a 4.55/ 30 inch vert, and 9' broad!
Wow this is such a reach

Sloflowpro lives for this combine stuff and has for years. He will get on here and laugh at you when you don't agree with him or see things in his way, but when things shake out in the end he is wrong about prospects just as much if not more than anyone else.

Michael Irvin said a bit ago that they medical personnel had to pretty much pull Landry from the drills due to the injury, but that he was still wanting to go out there and compete. I'm guessing it was something that was bothering him all day if that was the case.
