I haven't said it for a while, but dude, shut up.

If it isn't verbal diarrhea, it's calling people out for no reason.

Spend more time outside.

Being a heptathlete, he's probably worked muscles most football players don't even know they have. Wink

This doesn't exactly help his case.

Well, come to think of it, there are at least two positives from that picture of Burton struggling to hold his position with that weight. Number one is that he's actually in team wear and not pajamas, and secondly, at least he's giving an effort... Cool

Who do you consider BPA from this group?

Green
Campbell
Warren
Loveland
Startks
Emmianwori
Simmons
Banks
Booker
D. Jackson
Nolan
Walker
Williams

Good chance a lot of these guys are there at 17 and unlikely we will find a team to trade back since no sure fire great picks after 1st 10 to 15.

Warren or Walker easily. 

Then a tier with Loveland, Starks, Campbell, Emmanwori, and Jackson.

Then Nolen & Green. 

Then Simmons, Banks, Booker, and Williams. 

Just my $0.02. 

And I am talking best players. Not necessarily highest ceilings. A different thing. I like Zabel better than Booker.

Regarding Yoshi, I spent most of my adult life in the Military in Combat Arms. We worked out 5 days a week and have carried/worn 100-plus pounds of gear all day in triple-digit heat.

I met Yoshi in person and "hugged up" for a photo. I've never felt so insignificant as far as fitness in my life. The dude was granite. He almost turned me.

There is no judgement for what you do in a foxhole...

I apprciate your sacrifice. People like me have no clue how hard it is to be a soldier. 

Yoshi looks fit. I remember years ago when Blake was in his first year as a Bangal, I took lunch down to the Bengals when they trained under the tracks. I was amazed how small Blake was and how massive Tim Krumrie was and then ran into Dave Lapham. Dude was just huge.

I have been lucky enough to be on the sidelines at PBS, DL are big, but OL dwarf them.

Ahhh, nice one. Thanks for putting names on these guys to update my pre-season Guess Who Dey game board. 

Definitely need to know my Long Snapper more (though I hope he gives us less of a reason to this year.)

Part of what makes WR's like Chase and DK Metcalf so good IS their strength. It's not just running down the field, it's fighting off the Corners and Safeties the whole way and being strong enough to take the ball on contested passes, and then having the strength to break tackles to get the YAC. Personally, I had never even heard of DK Metcalf until he showed up at the Combine looking like he had been in Arnold's medicine cabinet.

That being the case, it looks like Rehkow, Burton and Adomitis all ate steak and cheese, while Yoshi went to the White Castle.

Well to be fair, he's been kicked out of everywhere else.

Didn't he get evicted? Maybe he has nowhere else to go.

Twice. He's now on the Chad Johnson plan.... living at the stadium. Get that man some McDonalds. Seriously though, I hope for this young man's sake that he has grown up a little and is now taking his opportunity seriously. I doubt it, but I'm hopeful.

BJ Hill showed up at week 2 workouts in a walking boot
