But, every young man has a chance to change his ways and how he behaves. I don't like the idea of dismissing people altogether. I've seen many men of all ages make fundamental changes in how they think and what they do. Gotta have hope.

I'm getting off topic -- looking forward to reviewing today's Combine participants in depth. Some good S prospects in there.

Da'Rick Rogers. I apologize, I spelled his name wrong earlier. Anyways, he's considered 1st or 2nd round talent, but questions surround him about him being booted from Tennessee after 3 failed drug tests. Some say he could 1 of the better wr's in the draft, but his character is questioned because of the failed test. I know the Texans pick high character individuals, but this team seems to be gaining players who command discipline from their teammates. At some point I hope the Texans could acquire a player who may have an issue or 2 in the past, but know that type of behavior won't happen as a member of the Texans because of the vets. Other organizations have this such as the Ravens & I hope the Texans are getting there as well. The player adapts to the organization, not the opposite.

In all honesty, my issue w/ Mathieu is that horrible 4 reps of 225lbs.

That really is terrible. He had all the time in the world to get prepared so it makes you wonder.

I haven't been following the combine, but what happened here? Some people thought he was a late 1st round pick, now he's a 6th?

Just not enough creativity. Dumb plays all the time, long developing run plays when we have a below average line. I'm glad he really makes an effort to run a clean program and keep our guys out of the press but not sure where his ceiling is.

Feel like I clicked on my Warchant tab.

It became pretty clear that something was wrong when Tricket came in at QB and we ran the read option. That alone should tell you something.

It's just an example of someone who doesn't know what the !@#$ they're talking about. Hunt will be gone by the end of the 2nd round, and he'll probably be drafted somewhere in the first.

They act like Ziggy Ansah is such a revelation...Hunt is just as athletic--but bigger--and has been playing football for just as long (or 1 year longer?)...

After combine, Hunt should be gone by end of 2nd. I wish we are able to find trading partner to trade down a little and get an extra pick. I wouldn't mind drafting Hunt at all in early to mid 2nd rd. Just think JJ Watt on one side and Hunt on other side. It would be sick line up.

It wouldn't be happening this season. I never watched the dude play (obviously, who watches SMU?), but been studying the guy a bit lately due to the hype I keep hearing about him. This guy is about as raw as it gets. He has horrible technique, plays way too high and too stiff. He can't tackle worth a crap, easily juked due to playing so high and doesn't play the run too well at all

IMO, this guy is my definition of a "boom or bust" player. A major project that would take a year or more to develope...if he can develope. Unless, of course, you draft him for his kick blocking ability. I'd pass until the last day

Hype he's getting reminds of Barwin's hype at the combine. The difference is Hunt is much bigger than Barwin.

[Brisco_County]

So Hunt never played or watched American football before SMU, and SMU is not known for cultivating NFL-ready pass rushers. A good GM won't take him until the 3rd round, but there's always someone willing to pay a premium for an Amobe Okoye.

This deserves its own thread. Dan Shonka et al provide services to NFL teams. He has been an NFL Scout for 16 years & in the business for 39 years. Much more credibility than the average media mock, IMO.

Thanks for posting.

Yeah, I stay with the "official" overall mocks there. Sabo has Quinton Patton, Louisiana Tech & DeAndre Hopkins, Clemson going in the 3rd round??? Pffft.
