    I can't believe Greco is actually getting a shot in the NFL. Being a UCF student ive watched him alot. He was a terrible QB and got moved to safety and IMO looked even worse as a safety. He is pretty athletic though. I hope he succeeds as i love seeing UCF players make it in the NFL, but i really think he has no shot.

    Disagreement is the soul of a forum .02.


    Well, to me the key is finding athletically gifted players who the Asst Coaches like, who have high motors and a ton of desire, as well as good College resume' but perhaps dotted with injury concerns, the other path is small school players who have prototype measurables.

    Byers has a injury history, Dickerson..who knows? he may be *****, he may toughen up, and Bosworth had a Elite 20 yd shuttle and 40yrd split, or 3 cone drill.

    As for McCoy...to me, what I've seen he does keep his inside gap responsibilities in mind.

    But that is what Training Camp is for My .02, and one of the reason why Draftniks miss on opinion formations, take a cat out of college, put him into a professional setting were it is Football 24/7, the result is difficult to predict.





    What do these players have in common:

    All UDFA's from the last 4 seasons..several have been to pro bowls...Scouts do not know as much as some folks would like to think they know..

    He was terrible as a QB.

    You may be right ...I only saw two games but in the Buffalo game he looked instinctive, quick, athletic and had some hip flex...he looked like he had skills despite being a raw safety....i forget the other game I saw but he was around the ball constantly and there was no hesitation in his game ...he was field fast....I thought he looked good and then his Pro Day was damn good...damn good.

    6-3 1/8, 217, 4.38 40 yard dash, benched 225 22 times, 10-9 broad jump and had a 41.5 vertical....no 10 and 20 splits or shuttle results I could find...but he showed pretty good COD and hips in pads so I think those numbers would be decent also..

    Here is one link.............

    Disagreement is fine .........and you and I have had no personal issues .... but if you disagree with some here and all of a sudden your an idiot and your opinion is just stupid. This forum/subject matter is going the way of POFO...of which I got booted not for being personal but for having an opinion that was contrarian and that NO ONE agreed with...........but a douche bag called me a ******* is still posting there and everywhere.....if depends on who the mod is and if they like you or agree with you on the subject matter as to how it is policed.....the mods say 'don't respond..just report it....then they ignore your PM's for a week at a time.............they even admit it to an owner, yet they are still a moderatin....

    So while you can post about disagreement being the "soul of a forum" apparently the owners and mod disagree ... and will remove someone from a forum for popularity or lack thereof and being personal to those levels is apparently OK soon after the post is removed and the "family member" is suddenly "cured"...after all they removed the post so that should cure everything ...... so I just post benign garbage of minimal value now and avoid the headaches (this post the exception which I will not expand on or discuss but in referencing your point that disagreement is the "soul of the forum" ain't exactly so based in my experience)...........the mods must be happy.

    Despite my recollection of the event being factually correct, watch this post get removed in 3,2,1, ......

    I must disagree on the above.

    The good Scouts combined with good FO know exactly what type are drafted and what type of players can be gotten thru the "Second Draft" or "The Draft after the Draft."

    Well, I find that a bit hard to believe NorFl, there are several pro bowlers on that list, the NFL wouldn't purposefully not draft them if they knew they were THAT good.

    Canadian, did not play much until last year, good size for LB but plays down for whatever reason most of the time, really have not looked close but I am guessing he has some limitations standing up or else they would bookend he and Means (who is going to be the real stud on that team IMHO) but honestly have not looked real close Padre....just my 2 cents................
