That's why I knock him down a couple of rounds (pending his performance at the pro day.)
Lisfranc is not as devastating, I don't think (as compared to multiple-concussion.)

I still don't know how Joe Montana did it.
That guy wasn't big but his head must be really tough.

Cooper Taylor had an outstanding pro-day, despite inclement weather:

6'-4 3/4" and 228 lbs
40 yds.............4.45/4.53
Bench..............23 reps
V.J..................36.5"
L.J..................127"
3-cone............6.9
20 yd shuttle....4.2

He likely moved himself into the Top 100.

Man, they kept moving up on me.

Words are the condition of the field was pretty bad at Florida St. pro day.
There were some slip and slide out there, not the optimum condition to gauge a performance.

Some is saying Jenkins is borderline top 100 (he did slip on his forty.)

I have no idea how to evaluate him now.

My sleeper guys keep on moving up the board.

Taylor will probably be gone before 125. The guy is smart,huge, fast and strong. He has 10yr starter written all over him. As far as value goes a 3rd rd pick would be a great get for Taylor.

I'm not familiar with the player but those are some good measurables. What's his 10 yd. split on the 40? How are his hips in change of direction? And is he any good in pass coverage? We need a Safety that can cover, and I'd love to find a tall one that can handle the new era athletic TE's that kill us over the middle.

Texans at UT's pro day

RT @calvinwatkins: Houston Texans asst GM Brian Gardner is in attendance at Texas' Pro Day.

Hearing Barkley was unimpressive in his Pro Day, and reading between the lines from some higher profile writers I can see them putting lipstick on a pig.

And I'm hearing ignore those who say it was unimpressive.

I'd ignore all of them - there's reasons to falsely downgrade his performance also. You can find any opinion you'd like of his pro day, and anyone in a position to matter (Scouts, GM's, and Coaches actually employed by NFL teams) have zero reason to truthfully say anything to anybody.

...except Pro Football Weekly who ranks USC's Matt Barkley as the top QB in the 2013 NFL Draft.

2. Ryan Nassib,
3. E.J. Manuel,
4. Tyler Wilson,
5. Zac Dysert,
6. Geno Smith.

Taylor Cook

Height: 6-7

Wingspan: 82"
Bench reps @ 225: 20 times
Vertical: 37"
Broad Jump: 10'2"
40 yard dash: 4.71 seconds

I checked his school bio and stats from ncaa stats site, and he's a TE.
He played QB at Rice Consolidated (Eagle Lake area, SSE of I-10 and Columbus, West of Sugarland, and Northwest of Wharton.)

He signed with Miami, but tranfer to Rice the following year.
Scout Inc. showed that he was just 206 at the time he was recruited by Miami.

Besides playing TE, he's also the punter and the back-up QB.
An UDFA possibility???

I'm from the WC area, but I never heard of him. 2* player coming out of HS, but I hope he gets a job in the NFL. Rice are getting a good player out of Cole Hunt(6'7" TE from El Campo) and Trey Martin is pretty good as well.

So far Raiders, Bears and Broncos have been in town to work out 3 players, Reed being the best pro prospect.
