re: After further evaluation of Arik Gilbert

Arik can play receiver, even at his size (and probably any other position he wants)

Not sure if Taylor will still come, but if he does, think Aaron Hernandez and Gronk.... (before Hernandez killed someone)

It was a VICIOUS Tandem for New England!!!!

let's pump the brakes here. Every year we get good 3 Star TE's and a bunch haven't panned out. Arik is a damn lock to be great. jury is still out on Taylor

Yet all of us fawn, bitch and moan over an industry responsible for ranking these kids that do the exact same thing. Its not an exact science. Scouts/professionals are wrong quite a bit at every level when it comes ti evaluations.

Glad to see you’ve come to your senses

I was really stuck on Taylor and hadn't watched much of Gilbert at the time. I still like Taylor, but Gilbert is just an athletic "FREAK' of nature.

Gilbert is the highest rated TE ever graded by 247. Kid has the athleticism of a guy half his size and catches almost everything thrown in his direction. He’ll be the best TE on the team the second he shows up in BR

You're basically just saying something that all reasonably intelligent people already knew.

Which is a whole lot more than you are saying because you ain't saying shite. I suppose you don't have enough understanding to really add anything of value to the topic. I understand though, but not everybody knows what they are looking at when they watch a player's video. Some of us have spent years (50 years actually, started playing when I was 5, not organized, but played with guys 4 and 5 years older) playing the game, watching the game, coaching players, evaluating players to determine which ones are the starters and which ones will be back-ups. And not everyone has that experience with the game. Not your fault, you just didn't care to get hit, or you were too small, or too scared, or didn't like the game, it's okay. But making a futile attempt to belittle something someone else has to say shows it's not about the game or the players, you just want the attention. Childish, but here you go, I just gave you some attention.

Dude is gonna make most LBs look like children

If you have nothing to add to the topic, why comment at all. Oh, wait, you just want some attention. Ok, here you go, some attention. Quit living life in your room. Get out, stop feeling so insecure and find something in life that will raise your self esteem. Try learning to play an instrument. Guitar is fairly popular with your generation. And it's an easy instrument to play for a beginner. And if you like it then it takes a whole lot of work to be really good at it. But it will help with your esteem. Just saying. Then maybe you have such issues as not being able to sleep until you hear an evaluation of a recruit. Get a life.

Nobody here watches what recruits do when the ball isn’t thrown/run in their direction. We watch highlights.

Except when a HS game is televised or we go see the game in person. And there are some games on youtube. So you can watch these players play in games.

based off highlights, I would take Kole. Though, obviously highlights don't tell the whole story.
