His poor ball skill performance will make some teams question his ball skills. Cannot guarantee he is a top 10 draft pick, especially because there are several good DBs available in this draft. Teams have the ability to pass on a rd one DB and feel good about their chances of securing a good value pick in other rounds. Im a lions fan and will be upset if he goes #5 to lions. he argueably is a top 10 guy this year, but he sure isnt a top 5 guy

It would make it easier and be pretty much instantaneous.

But then, what would the Mayock and Eisen have to fill all that dead time with, now that they wouldn’t be able to speculate about fast times and possibly breaking CJ’s record?

Oh, that’s why they don’t change.

I’m watching this live on NFL network and Milliner had the best DB 40 time at 4.31

Get rid of Nnamdi and DRC, and take Milliner and Marsh/Hughes at starter, with Boykin in the slot.

Second round pick on S or OL. Go for a NT in 3 or 4. The rest is gravy.

I literally shaved off .7 of a second off my time once the coach told me about the whole stance thing and how to come out of it.

They aren’t even CLOSE this year.
