Around SBN: The Worst Team Ever Projected?

Pro Day Schedule For Universities:


http://www.newerascouting.com/nfl-draft/nfl-pro-day-schedule/

So far my favorite Pro Day quote came from Javid Best. After running a 4.35 at the combine Best chose not to participate in Cal's Pro Day. Instead he rested on his performance in Indy quipping, "I think I showed them Raider speed".

Some mocks have Best going in the second round. I wonder IF Big Al would take him in the second IF he were available?

On another note, today is a big day for two linemen that I have my eye on, Mike Iupati and Matt Tennant as Boston College and Idaho will be having their pro days. I really would NOT mind trading down this year and grabbing Iupati in the mid first and then snagging Tennant in the 3rd or 4th.

Imagine if we could add:

Iupati (Great Iupati Read Here)

Troup

Tennant

Angerer

and the BPA in the 2nd

LOL your killing me!!!

Like i just told spirals, they do have a most improved player of the year award, so people do improve, hope he does it before he gets cut, you know we would all hate to see that dude twice a year behind a line that gave him all day….

If he could get his ish together, seriously...

dont remember what game it was but i was in shock, 60 secs left on the clock and from behind the 40 this dude took about 6 shots IN THE REDZONE! and there was like 40 seconds left, when he throws the ball leaves his hand and arrives 40 50 yards downfield literally 2 seconds later, mind you all the passes were too hard for the wr’s (who had outrun coverage) to catch, BUT they were all first year guys…hey that was crazy!

I even cum Black & Silver...

Jahvid Best said his favorite team was the Raiders

http://www.examiner.com/x-599-Cal-Bears-Examiner~y2010m3d10-Former-Bears-give-NFL-scouts-a-show-at-Cals-Pro-Day

Best has workouts scheduled with the Cleveland Browns and the Washington Redskins later this month, and while he doesn’t care which team drafts him, he didn’t shy away from telling reporters that his favorite team is the local Oakland Raiders. With the release of Fargas late last week and the speed he’s shown, it’s not entirely impossible that he could get that wish with the eigth pick of the draft.

I do think we should grab him.

especially after loosing fargas. we need a 3rd RB. And he has great character.

Nice Catch Pete:

I’ve been thinking he was Lupati for months!?!?! HAHAH!!!!

Even though Dmac and Bush have the keys in the backfield, don’t you think the boy from Stanford Toby Gerhart would be a great pickup? 3rd and 2, goaline, he is just a downhill smash mouth runner.

If he’s there 3rd round (unlikely) it’s a no brainer, especially if McFadden is hurt again this year.

Still should focus on the trenches first.

Bush got the bettis bobble on lockdown, either could start anywhere else...

see i was preaching bush before anyone saw him on the field, people just DONT listen! ugh!

I even cum Black & Silver...

I dont want another RB

Lupati would be fine with me as long as we trade down

If winning isn't everything, why do they keep score?

Iupati is a good pick

but we have other pressing needs. Gallery if healthy & Langston can play guard. Also Cable has the ZBS going on year 3 so this team can find plenty of good guards & centers in later rounds. Eric Olsen from ND is a great C/G prospect who knows a pro system. I agree on trading down & getting a DT & LT in the 1st or 2nd. No way on Best no matter how much he kisses Al’s butt with his comments. He’s an injury-prone RB. We’ve been through too many of those in recent years.
