re: Random Saints notes regard draft/draft prospects thread.

I'm always really wary of these guys who are considered to be at one level based on their actual play, and then go to the Combine or have a Pro Day where they run a faster 40 than everyone expected and suddenly they're bumped up to a whole 'nother level. You know...the guys who's draft stock suddenly skyrockets post-Combine because they measure an inch taller or pile up the bench press reps. I mean, does everyone think the kid played his whole college career at one speed, evident in all his game film, and then in the last couple of months has increased his speed substantially? Not shaved a few hundredth off...I mean really gained a whole impactful amount of speed? Or gained the kind of strength that will change his game?

The dude produced what he produced on field. Don't get sucked into the "well, he played at one level when I thought he had X speed, but now that I know he has X-1 speed I expect him to perform at a much higher level". Those guys disappoint every year.
