Maybe the best day of anyone.

But I’ll confess West Virginia WRs give me PTSD.

If only he could play.

EDIT: okay, that's a bit hyperbolic. He obviously can play (and plays several orders of magnitude better than I could, frankly). What I should say is: if only he had demonstrated the ability to separate and run crisp routes.

I think he's Miles Boykin Redux.
KFFL refugee.

Lost a bet that the Bears wouldn't trade #1 overall, so I "pony"'d up. Never been so happy to be so wrong. :D

People thought Hyatt was going to break 4.3 and he ran a 4.40. Tank Dell should have run faster also (4.49].

If you’re small … you better be fast.
I was going to post "Tanking for Tank" to be funny - but then I saw he was a midget and was hugely disappointed. I am able to be hugely disappointed, but Tank can only be minutely disappointed.

I really don't want any small WRs. Even Mooney is too small to me. If you're not tall at least be a 200 pounder like Velus. Mooney gets absolutely rag-dolled out there on the regular. I don't think he's going to last very long - which puts me very much on the fence about extending him.

JS-N probably moved himself up today compared to his fellow WRs. Great 3 cone and shuttle - be curious what he runs on March 22.

If the Bears end up with #9, I hope they take a serious look at Quentin Johnson. Hopefully they sign an OT and 3T in free agency and draft Fields a weapon.

Johnson came in 2 inches shorter….I’m not sold on him. Catches a lot of balls with his body…and for being bigger then everyone, I’ve never seen him high point the ball. Watch his tape then go watch Zay Flowers….one plays much bigger then the other.

I don’t like Johnston’s route running either.

I agree-- the combine weigh-in measurement and performance times and proving what most were saying coming into this offseason: This draft class kinda sucks. And so does the free agency class. Let's just hope Claypool and JF1 connect this offseason.
