2023 NFL Draft Thread

[OrangeAfroMan]

Todd McShays updated mock has him going #9 to the Panthers.  I was on the fence with the Lions taking him with the second of their two 2nd round picks (#55).  And even then, I wasn't totally sold.  #9?  Yikes

I think some jackwagon on CBSsports has Richardson going #1.  I'm SURE it's for clicks/eyeballs, but still.
The kid is basically a superman, but he ain't hitting that 6-yard slant route.

MSU offensive lineman goes 1-1 in the USFL draft, and the Tweet they put out is him holding.  God speed Michigan Panthers

Michigan CB DJ Turner checked in at 5'11"+ and ripped off a 4.26 in the 40 at the NFL combine. Fastest time so far and 5th fastest official time all-time. His ball skills stink, he's a decent tackler for a CB but not a big hitter nor a tackling machine like say an Antoine Winfield, but he's officially measured in at a tick under 6 ft and ran a sub 4.3. He's probably going to wind up getting drafted way higher now than he should be.

The fact that the combine is televised is sad.  NFL teams shouldn't care, let alone fans

Damn, MSU is one 4* TE recruit away from being the funny part of this video

Anthony Richardson sets QB record for vertical jump and long jump.
But that's not the biggest WOW:
He tied for the 4th-fasted 40 time.....@ 244 lbs.
The other 4 QB's weights that ran as fast or faster:  198, 223, 200, 199.
.
Soooooo he runs an official 4.43, can leap out of the building, is built like a shit brickhouse....and can throw the ball 80+ yards. 
That damn 6-yard slant route, though......

The 2006 Raiders will snag him.

yep. kinda crazy how NFL teams draft dudes way higher than they should just based off of workouts in t-shirts and shorts or downgrade a player just bc of a bad workout. and they never seem to learn their lesson.

Dude is a freak of nature. Think he's going to be the next Gronk if he gets with a legit QB. Most of the celebrated TE's in the NFL over the last 25 years can't block for sh&t and are just glorified flex WRs. Gronk was a unicorn in that he was an absolutely dominant receiver AND blocker. Washington has that same type of potential to be a devastating, dominating blocker and an unguardable pass catcher.
