📡 Mac Jones is moving up McShay's draft board very quickly

[50+yeartidefan]

If these so called experts were remotely correct 10% of the time we'd have more than around four NFL teams have a chance at the title every year. These guys are paid handsomely and are worse than meteorologists with their predictions. Not saying they are wrong here, but the left tackle on the best team, a four year starter, I'm not buying the bad press. Peyton Manning and Drew Brees supposedly didn't have NFL arms, Russell Wilson didn't have the size, and Tom Brady's story is well known.

and there hasnt been combines or wonderlic test yet...how could teams know anything...
But..itslike preseason polls...means nothing...but everybody reads, discusses, and gets up in the air about them anyway

There is a possibility that there won't even be an NFL combine this year (that idea is being pushed by some in charge). Also, and a more likely possibility, is a holding a medical only combine. Personally, I think they will still hold it as normal (as possible). Regardless, there would still be Pro Days (especially at places like UA). But, it would be interesting if they didn't have it, just to see how teams adjust and what impact it would have on draft day (which I think would be minimal).

Personally, I don't expect Combine to happen. I expect Pro days to be virtual where tapes will be available to all NFL Teams. TBH, It allows players flying under the radar that wasn't projected to be drafted or looked at to get same chances as others.

Gonna be alot of UDFAs this year.

No combine seems like a bad idea and more travel for teams. Seems like a combine would be a better solution given travel restrictions.

I wonder if roster will be expanded once again after seeing what happened this past season?

From what I understand they are going to try and do everything they can to play it, although some changes will be made to adapt to the covid issues. I think they'll have it.

I don't believe anything these days is guaranteed, but I'll be surprised if it doesn't happen.

How so? Draft will occur. Same number teams, rounds and number of players chosen. Roughly the same number of eligible players. Same roster restrictions.

I think it should be rename, so that the ones that leave early could play in this game.

Yeah, meant to say undrafted.

 

[50+yeartidefan]

Absolutely

I thought that's what the U in UDFA (undrafted free agents) stood for.

I'd like to understand how Mac finished behind Lawrence in the Heisman voting.

I'd like to understand how Mac finished behind Lawrence in the Heisman voting.

Simple - the voters have wanted to give it to Lawrence since the beginning of the year, but they knew they couldn’t deny Devonta. They just couldn’t put him 3rd.

 

[XXL TideFan]

Do mini combines staggered around the country.

i would think.....mac and DeVonta split first place votes....
it was pretty thin between second and third
