Combine Expectations

And sorry if it feels like I'm singling your posts out, I saw my opportunity to ask the question about Shenault that I had since I saw the news of his injury. He was a player I was hoping would make it to our 2nd but with the injury, I wondered if now maybe he makes it to 3.

Before the combine, both Kiper and McShay had Shenault firmly in the 1st round.  If he were smart, he would have stood on that, and not performed at the combine. (Once you're a consensus 1st round projection, what is there to prove?)

Now, with the injury and impending surgery, he's somewhat of a gamble to take in the first two rounds.  This draft is very deep at WR, most teams will, and should go for the healthy option and get a player who will be a full participant from day 1. I totally get why Queen and Murray felt obligated to perform, as they both were teetering on that 1sst/2nd round designation. Ironic that they ran almost identical times, both ended up getting injured, despite running settling nothing for a team that might have been considering either or.
