2019 NFL Draft Process Thread

Y’all are talking about a team that pushed all their chips in on a mediocre Texas Tech Coach. They are hoping for lightning in a bottle and some Baker Mayfield / Patrick Mahomes hybrid in KM. I think it’s going to be an absolute disaster but we’ll see.

I say let them!
 
Josh Jacobs ran 4.60 and Mack Wilson 4.68 at the Alabama pro day today. Honestly expected a little faster from each guy. Doubt Mack is a first rounder with that time considering Devin White ran in the 4.4s. Jacobs was not labeled a burner but I’d assume most NFL scouts / GMs expected him to be a tick faster..

I'm surprised by Mack's time. Not so much Jacobs.

I don't think Mack was going to be a first rounder but certainly not after that time. I did see some "experts" saying the time Josh ran are for 2nd rounders and above and may have cost him. Some said Damien may have moved ahead of him for the #1 RB spot.

If I were an NFL GM, I would take Jacobs over DH 10 times out of 10. He is a more aggressive runner, a better pass catcher, and more elusive in the open field. DH is faster, but not blazing fast - not enough faster for it to matter.

Dame ain't faster than him in a football game.
 
I think Mark Barron just hurt Mack's only chance at being a first rounder. The Steelers needed and got an ILB...Mack will be stud if he gets to work and stays off of Twitter...

Straight line speed, I would say he is faster. Damien actually has several long runs on his resume, whereas Jacobs only had one of over 20 yards last year. But Jacobs makes decisions quicker, cuts quicker, and is more elusive, which may be what you're referring to. IMO, he is the better all around back. But Damien has a great future in NFL, IMO.

I think Damien Harris has as good of an initial burst as any back we've had but he's also shown some issues with endurance/maintaining speed over distance. He was never really asked to take on a big workload and often got passed by another back by the end of the season in the carries distribution. Luckily the NFL doesn't really look for workhorse backs anymore but I think it is clear that Jacobs is closer to the "stock NFL back" these days than Harris. There aren't many 20+ yard runs out there for an NFL back. It is about your ability to turn 2-3 yarders into 4-6 yarders and contributions in the passing game. In that regard Jacobs is the best back for the NFL.

True. And I didn't even mention Jacobs ability in the passing game, which probably truly sets him apart from all the rest in this draft.
