View Full Version : AP hits 4.37 40... Lynch and Pittman in 4.5's.
Solid times for all three but of course, Peterson secures himself as the first HB taken.
Can anybody believe C. Johnson hit a 4.35 at 239lbs? That is rediculous. Jason Hill also got what was reported as a 4.32.
all great times...antonio pittman might be the one that surprised me most with the 4.42...he looked real good.
how do you people think AP's times affected him??? he ran what everyone was expecting, so does he just stay put? does this push him to the top? certainly doesnt hurt him i know, but just wondering what if any affect this would have on his draft status

I think it pretty much clinches him being taken by Cleveland with the 3rd overall pick, barring someone trading up for him. The Browns have been rumored to be willing to listen to trade offers for the pick, but they'll likely want a hefty bounty in return from any interested suitors. Houston is the most likely team to see what it would take to move up and grab him, but I think the price will be too steep for them.

With his speed size, and maturity Calvin Johnson has a great chance to go down as one of the top WR's to ever play the game if he stays healthy and is in the right situation.

Expensive rookie running backs with injury history scare me.
I would love it if we got Antonio Pittman, though.

Some have called Calvin Johnson the best WR prospect to come along in the last decade. On top of being a physical freak, the guy seems to have a good head on his shoulders.
Barring injury, he's going to make some team very happy for a long time.

i want a DE or a DT in first, but I would love to trade, bell, Jake, #21 to go up to 8, then our 3rd to go to #4 or #5 and get CJ......Walker, Marshal, and CJ.... could u imagine.

i still want DL in round 1 as well.
But I would be happy with Meachem at 21 as well. I really like this guy after seeing him today.
Also, Pittman is a great zone runner, he would be nice, or even Henry.
pittman is my number 2 RB i hope we take after the impossible number 1 doesnt happen....
calvin is going to be sick...him going to the raiders scares me a lot more than russell.

I've been hyping up Pittman for a month or so, and nobody was even mentioning him back then.
If we don't get Pittman then I hope we get Brandon Jackson out of Nebraska.

There were some questions about Peterson. This time is great. The Browns will draft him, I have no doubts.
The Browns need an instant impact player for their offense. AP is it.

I like Lynch alot. Traded up to get umm... Pittman in the mock in an embarrasing moment. Heh. I like how Lynch cuts back and he's a great reciever too. We will have to leapfrog GB tho.

I don't see a way to get Peterson for the Broncos. He's a top 5 pick. Pittman is intriguing since not only running a good time, but has gotten bigger too. Listed at 207lbs. Might have to trade up in the 2nd round to get Pittman though. Chris Henry's time was a big surprise, the fastest of the RB's. He just jumped up higher in the draft.

Peterson is the dream guy...not happening...
but i REALLY like Marshawn Lynch....he fits us like a glove....
unless we move up..we don't get him either....so after that my choice is for Chris Henry....
The guy weighs 230....which we need...a bigger back.....plus he had the nerve to run a 4.4 40 time.....tied for fastest among all backs in the combine.....he may be our guy....

Pittman and AD were given identical official times of 4.40.

AD will go at the latest #3.
I have heard from a friend of mine with Dolphins connections that Denver has been trying to parlay a couple of picks and players to move up for AD.
The story was that they were trying to get Houston's #8, and then to package that pick with others to move up to #3. I wouldnt take that as gospel, but just another rumor you heard on the net. I thought that it might be reasonable since it was corroborated by other things I heard from Kiper. Interesting nonetheless.

It's too far a reach. We don't have two firsts this year. Let's just take Pittman in the second, or Lynch if GB passes because of some workout faux paus. We allready have a fast, upright runner on the team. Maybe not as talented as AP, but I'm not throwing the draft for that.
I smell a smokescreen.

AD isnt just a "fast, upright runner"...he's the best back to come out of the draft in a long time. A former teammate of his who is now in the NFL called him a sure-fire hall of famer.
Shanahan knows how good this guy is. The public injury concerns arent going to blind him from the unbelievable talent that AD is.

Sure. I totally agree.
If there's one thing that I trust Shanny and Sundquist with, it's the ability to squeeze as much value as possible from anything that they trade.
If it works for the Broncos, Shanny will find a way to get it done.

Not me, if they took Russell they'd have someone to get the ball to a WR.
In the past 10 years there has been hype about one receiver or another in the first round being a "freak" and how many taken in the first round have actually become "freaks"? Torry Holt is the only one that comes close, possibly soon Javon but WR's are a dime a dozen and rarely become the freaks they are projected to be.

C'mon Kaylore. Although there's a 99.98% chance it will never happen, you mean to tell me that if the Broncos somehow get AP or AD, or whatever, you'd be upset?

If the Broncos could get Meachem at 21, ten years from now people would still be talking about it as the steal of the draft. IMHO.

Upset? No, but he'll probably become the most expensive running back in the NFL without playing a down just like Bush did last year, and that wouldn't make me happy. Last year DeAngelo Williams was the guy getting hyped up and he was banged up ( I'll admit way more than AD) a lot too and I was against him. I'm not anti-AD but I'm definitely wary of him.

Fact is guys...AD would put this offense back into a different spectrum. Plus not to mention, that his addition would take enormus amounts of pressure of Cutler. To not try to get him would be an absolute crime...

The question becomes; what do you have to give up in order to get AD, and does having AD on your team make you a better football team than the players you'd have to give up in order to get him.
I think AD would be a beast on this team, but if it means giving up 4-5 other guys that might develop into very good players I think it's too high of a price to pay.
If we can finagle a way to get him by giving up Plummer, Tatum, and Foster and a pick or two that might be okay. However adding a top 5 pick means less money to spend on FA.

i cant convince my self to disagree with the idea of moving up for AD...i think if we used plummer, tatum, foster, even ian gold...or some combination of those guys with our first this year, maybe a third or second next year....we wouldnt be giving up a whole draft....
there just isnt one or two players we could pick up later in the draft that would have the impact adrian would have on this team....it gives me shivers to think about how much improved one player could make us. no guy at 21 or 56 or 70 or 85 gives me shivers....

AP is LJ with more speed and a better head on his shoulders. Lets say AP only plays 6 years because of his style of play, I could see 2 SB wins in that 6 years span if he was a Bronco.

exactly....sure would be a shame to "waste' good draft picks on a RB who is capable of carrying your team to super bowls.....come on guys jump on the bandwagon! in all honesty i doubt its possible, even if we tried....but in the off-chance that it worked out i would dance for a very long time...very joyfully....
