Nice! I like his motor! I didn't watch all of it but from what I watched I would be glad to have him in purple.

So are you saying Todd Gurley won't be the same after his injury?PurpleKoolaid wrote:We need so many players BPA should work. If Cooper, Parker or White are within our reach (and we don't break the bank on white) that's the no brainer. NO WAY do we go high pick on RB if AD is back even a few years. If hes gone, then no RB under rd 3 or later (unless Gorden falls in our lap, Id pass on acl Gurley. Then its BPA on Oline, DBs, and LBs.
@RosenhausSports Breshad Perriman just ran a 4.26 forty at the UCF Pro Day. Incredible
Well, that is what Iowa's Zone Blocking scheme calls for: athletic linemen. Scherff is a hell of an athlete. Trust me...dead_poet wrote:Brandon Scherff - T - Hawkeyes
Iowa OL Brandon Scherff recorded a 7.07 three-cone time at the school's pro day.
Scherff also produced a 4.41 20 yard short shuttle. He ran neither at the Combine. The 7.07 would have been good for second best at the Combine since 2006. Just for fun, Scherff's 3-cone time was faster than WR Jamison Crowder, Dezmin Lewis and just .01 slower than Chris Conley's.

Brandon Scherff - T - Hawkeyes
Iowa OL Brandon Scherff doesn't care what position he plays in the NFL.
He worked out at both guard and tackle at the school's pro day on Monday in Iowa City. "[Teams] just asked me which one I preferred, I just said, 'Wherever you play me, I'll play that,'" Scherff said. Scherff "is the best OL prospect I have seen in 2015 and it may not be real close," Bob Sturm of the Dallas Morning News recently wrote.

That depends a lot on his priorities. I mean, he couldn't pass a test he knew was coming months in advance? The last thing you want to do is waste a first-rounder on a guy that could be the next Justin Blackmon or Josh Gordon and while he said weed is no longer a priority as it was and seems to understand that it could jeopardize his NFL career, it seems like it's been an ongoing issue.nightowl wrote:Just read that Randy Gregory failed his drug test at the combine(weed). Anybody interested if he falls to 11?
I also worry about schematic fit as he seems to be more of a fit as a 3-4 OLB. He's also raw and lanky (dropped to 218 after the season). I think we may already have him in Barr. He's already said he likes playing LB more and I think he'd struggle to stay at 250 lbs. Per National Football Post Greg Gabriel:"I don't wake up every day saying, I'd really love to go smoke," Gregory told Kimberly Jones. "It's not a struggle for me every day (now), it really isn't. In the past, hell yeah, it's been a struggle. It really has been. Now, I'm focused on my dream."
That said, an NFL scout called him "better than Ziggy Ansah," and NFL Films' Greg Cosell believes Gregory is a better prospect than 2014 No. 1 overall pick Jadeveon Clowney. If we drafted him I think Zimmer would know how to best use him. He doesn't seem like one of the "safer" picks at that spot (Cooper, Scherff) but perhaps one with more upside.At that size, he will never be able to play as a 4-3 end," Gabriel wrote. "His narrow frame will not allow for much growth potential. Another concern is durability, as he has missed some time with injuries."
Big red flag. I would not touch this guy and I bet he will drop quite a few spots because of his stupidity.dead_poet wrote: That depends a lot on his priorities.

I haven't thought highly of Gregory personally and this just confirms that I would be hesitant to draft him if I were in the position to do so.dead_poet wrote: That depends a lot on his priorities.
