Yea, I somewhat remember him.

Chickillo reminds me of Brooks Reed. Maybe a poor man's Reed.

I would be ecstatic with Brooks Reed with a Rookie salary. Or at least a guy who could make picking up Merciless's 5th year option, not a "need to do" scenario.

40 times are nice but can they catch the ball, can they hold onto the ball, can they tackle the guy with the ball, etc.?

At least with the combine, you have most of these guys on one equal track without wind. Back in the old days, it was more subjective.

Not as happy with this one. Made a trade w/PHL in RD3.

16: RB TODD GURLEY
51: WR BRESHAD PERRIMAN
82: Traded to PHL for Mychal Kendricks
116: OT DONOVAN SMITH
152: CB CHARLES GAINES
175: WR CHRIS CONLEY
195: C MAX GARCIA
211: DT LETERRIUS WALTON
216: DE FRANK CLARK
235: OLB JAMES VAUGHTERS

[HPF Bob]

I did one last night with four trades - traded down w/Cincy for 1-21 and 2-21.
Traded 4th, 5th and 6th to Seattle for 3-31 then was traded down from 2-21 with Dallas to 2-29 for a 4th and 5th then traded back up to 4-1 when I saw Hronnis Grassu was still available and I had not taken a center.

Yeah, the speedsters are mostly WR and CB. for WR need to know a lot more for sure, like can they get open, break a tackle, ...,

The first number rank is their likely draft rank at the position, so top 10 can likely catch pretty good.

Hopefully a couple of these guys might also help on special teams returns and coverage.

Jeez, so what's the deal with WR Dorial Green-Beckham? 6'6", 225, 4.49 speed. A monster/beastly. 5-star athlete in high school. Projected by Rivals as the next Andre Johnson... Scores on the football field as well as on the street - likes his pot. Though the Texans dislike problem children, somebody's going to get a good athlete - the problem will be to keep him from screwing up.... It will be interesting to see who gives him a shot...

They'll be getting the next Randy Moss or the next Justin Blackmon. That's all.
