Some type of sack that they say is not serious as long as it doesn't get infected.
Looks like a Bursa Sack to me. It usually goes away on its own or you can go to the Drs office and drain the fluid. I had it, no biggie. Only spent 2 months in the ICU and two surgeries but that was it.. (I think) |

Why did he not get weighed at the combine?
The players insisting on avoiding the combine workouts and measurements makes me skeptical about the Pro Days when they can script everything at their school and not perform/measure at the neutral combine site in Indianapolis.
We already know the 40 times at the Pro Days usually come in inflated compared to the combine.
When I played football when I got measured at my school they added 2 inches to my height and 20 pounds to my weight.
I heard Daniels didn't participate in athletic drills and didn't run either? Nabers did and performed well fantastic running 4.35 and jumping 42 inches...Daboll is reported to be courting Nabers taking him out to dinner, etc.
What does Daniels have to hide??

Not sure what's going on with Daniels elbow but the severity of it looks like a camera issue.
It's likely the photography was using a low shutter speed because it looks like a night game has elbow isn't moving as fast as his upper arm so it appears to be more disconnected and slowen than it really is due to the camera shutter speed.

As I said, off the field he worries the hell out of me. He has a ton of talents though and if he put that all away he could be a real good QB. But yeah, it appears California got to him. He’s not draftable to me. Especially as a QB. Especially as a QB in a big market. Thats a fair conclusion. He is a big time gamble. High risk high reward. I wouldnt be upset if they passed on him at 6 if he was there. I get it. Even if he did become a great QB. |

Jayden Daniels is the only QB in this draft I would take. He's a fantastic player. I think he needs to end up with the right OC/HC though or he'll be trying to do too much. He's QB1 by far though. Would you trade up for him now believing he is QB1...say, at 3 or 4? Or .... you riding the wild horses called Jones and Lock into the sunrise knowing we will have a new WR not as good as Calvin Johnson? If I were in Schoen/Dabolls situation I wouldn't trade up and wouldn't take a QB. Daboll is in his last year if he can't right the ship and Schoen wants Daboll to succeed.
If I were a GM/HC on more stable footing I'd consider the trade up.

Been saying that for a while. Although I must say if Caleb is there at pick 6 I might take a gamble. And if it doesn't work out trade him. I am really worried abou his off the field stuff but his talent is there I wouldn't touch Caleb at all. The off the field stuff plus his tiny size plus I just don't think he's that good. |

Thanks.... in the other thread you mentioning Calvin Johnson and I went all rabbit hole on him as like Barry Sanders, he was a one man show to watch on those losing Detroit teams and never missed a prime time game. Amazingly, he was only a 4 star recruit..... a massive 4.3 speed Michael Jordan with OBJ hands. Best ever...Jerry Rice was on a great team so I don't buy him being the greatest football player ever, let alone receiver. This is my eyes, and not a math contest to other posters biting on a 30 post response comparing the two. Well, to your reply...being in our situation, gonna have to agree to disagree. We're too close to some probable franchise misses to go Jones and Lock. Joe and Dabs get two years getting a rookie QB ... would love to see Brian mold a clear headed, non PTSD rookie QB.  If we're placing money in "important" valued positions vs RB and Safety, that tells me they will trade away a year or two to get that rookie QB on a 5 year deal, dispose of Jones after next year, and free agent more into WR, OL....and TE. I would not mind a trade back if we can't dance, and hope a Bowers is still there after 10,...he's gonna be the next great TE...and having a Kittle or Kielce can help any future QB we end up with more than a downfield X...unless we had that wall. If not, more OL please.  |

If not, more OL please. That there is the crux of the decision. Does Mara tell them that they get two years if they get a rookie QB? I doubt Mara would tell them that. Without that handshake deal in place no way would I trust them not to can my ass (Daboll) as I'm on the sideline yelling at my rookie to play better lol. With that handshake deal in place then it's another story.
Only downside to Bowers is that he is a good deal smaller than all the dominant TEs.
To me, looking at our roster and the precarious situation the HC is in, I think the very obvious easy answer is you add the absolute stud WR that's sitting their for you to fill your biggest hole on the offense and go score points and win games and hope that Jones isn't broken beyond repair. This is still the same HC that believed in him enough to give him a huge contract afterall.

Fixed it a bit at the end.... Agree to disagree...playing Jones is suicide. Bowers is the size of Kittle who can block well...yes undersized but a 3D receiving tight end. I certainly would not take him at 6, but he's going mid first round. |

I certainly would not take him at 6, but he's going mid first round. Having Jones with Devito as the back up is a horrible idea. Having Jones with Lock? I guess we will see what their plan is. I'd be shocked if this team is dressing three first round QBs next year though lol.
Bowers is not the size of Kittle. He needs to add weight if he is going to block as well in the NFL as he did in college. It's the only drawback and the only reason I wouldn't take him at 6...well that and I'm not passing on one of these WRs for any TE. I like Bowers, I don't see the path to him being on this team next year unless the GM decides to pass on QBs and WRs.

Bowers is not in the same class as Kittle with blocking technique...agreed and obvious to witness just watching live games, but his running after the catch is beast mode...Patriots won a lot of super bowls with slots and an angry tight end. Oh, and no X receiver...well, Moss for three years but a non factor when we beat that best offense ever in the superbowl. Gronk and his slot guys were what make that dynasty ...and a QB that can read defenses...all defenses, all plays. |

He’s not draftable to me. Especially as a QB. Especially as a QB in a big market. I feel the opposite, I feel like his style, vibe, and just how he carries himself off the field would be more accepted in a large city vs a smaller more conservative market I don’t think it’s a progressive/conservative thing that is the issue. Has nothing to do with that and more the way he and his father would / will handle contract negotiations and the overall distraction they will be. |

The nail polish, crying on his mom's shoulder, etc mean nothing to me...On the other hand, he does seem like a good teammate, has his guys backs, and such, and you can't dispute the arm talent. Since I really think the Bears are locked in on him, it's really a moot point anyway... |

Gronk was about 25 pounds heavier than Bowers though. Bowers is very much a new age TE. Will that translate to the NFL or was he just dominant in college? Not sure, but it'll be fun to find out. Either way I very much doubt he ends up on this team.

I don't like any of them enough to trade up for though If the Giants will choose any QB at 6, I can assure you they are going to have all scenarios in place for moving up to 3 or 4, and that will include overpaying. They do hold one card in they are closer for a team at 6 that wants some capital and still might get their non QB target...Alt/OT1 or a WR. Don't be shocked if a cornerback or two sneaks close to the top 10. |

Yeah, we sure showed in that superbowl defenses still win championships with our top 1 playoff hot defense that year. Unfortunate when Gronk retired ... and Brady, and Gronk went to Tampa Bay upon the begging of Brady...and bam, a superbowl. Once the Patriots lost Brady, the BB era and the grandmaster of defense sort of got old quickly. That game against Josh Allen in the playoffs from suggesting Allen was a big problem, and not able to stop a single QB on a single drive all game as Allen had the best game I ever seen by a QB, yeah a problem unanswered...and then the post game suggesting they couldn't keep up made me believe that was the end of the era....that game Allen trounced him so horribly and with the Dolphins on the rise with the video game team speed and science student looking coach, BB got even older. Mac Jones looked like an average high school kid with horrific arm strength going against the leagues premiere rocket launcher. That was a Brady needed game to do as they did when they beat Mahomes...control the clock on offense and keep the problem QB off the field. With Mac Jones, falling behind was acceptable. Bowers is as good a pick as any WR coming out IMHO. You've watched every Georgia game since he was a freshman as I have so you too realize he's played everywhere from x receiver, slot, inline (where he might have an issue as you say in the NFL) and even running back. You know he runs well with speed with the ball in his hands and shed tackles and runs violent, has incredible hands, runs perfect routes...athleticism and the smarts. He's the "real" QB's best friend...despite pounds for possible blocking downs making some GM's in the top 10-15 think he might be a 2 down player on offense. A good OC gets him in every down, and he makes all pro. IMHO of course...and yeah, too rich at 6...we need a QB right now |

Brady never won without a top defense. Hopefully our D is a top defense this year.
I like Bowers but we will see what he can do in the NFL. Regardless of what we say here I still don't see him landing on this team. TEs just aren't viewed as a top tier position like WR in today's NFL. The top TEs in the league barely make more than the top RBs and about half the top WRs.

Yes, so you are pointing out Brady never won without a defense I am guessing.  Not sure what that matters in evaluating a tight end and how important they are to a QB, but the GOAT, whom had great defenses still managed to retire with the most passing yards and TD's of all time, with a great defense...and only 3 years of a top X receiver...well Mike Evans in Tampa Bay, where he also had a top defense. He made a career with slots and tight ends ....and even survived the Nate Solder years.  You still feeling comfortable with Jones next year? |

We obviously can't build a team based on what worked for Tom Brady. Yes slots and TEs worked for him, he was pretty good though. Not something I'd recommend for almost any QB though.
With that said if I thought Bowers was the next Gronk I'd have no issue taking him at #6. I'm a Bowers fan and I don't think he's the next Gronk. I doubt Daboll will think he's Gronk 2.0 either. He coached those slots and coached Gronk so I trust his opinion on Bowers.

The one poster I want to share pints with We can talk out of the sides of our mouth after we do the cheers meeting and know it's time to hit the train...but I'll be there next happy hour laughing and disagreeing with you. You believe Brady made Gronk more Gronk? Or Gronk made Brady more GOAT? More importantly, do you roll with Jones next year? If we do this draft, Fiske can create that defense that could make Jones great  , and I made the OL a wall that could help a bit, and even got the X and a QB with arm talent giving us 2 strong armed guys...and a QB with now blind side protection, and a QB that hates throwing over the middle and attacks outside the numbers with tremendous accuracy and strength. I even got us a safety that looked great on my safety tape view today... large safety that can play all 3 zones from SS to FS, thus helping Pinnock and Belton...and threw darts at potential starting corners as I went all crack whore on this draft and accepted any offer as I went down. I was expecting to roll with Jones and try the build the team for the next QB or the next version of Jones. 19: R1 P19 OT Taliese Fuaga - Oregon State 47: R2 P15 DL Braden Fiske - Florida State 52: R2 P20 QB Michael Penix Jr. - Washington 70: R3 P6 WR Adonai Mitchell - Texas 83: R3 P19 S Jaden Hicks - Washington State 100: R3 P36 CB Khyree Jackson - Oregon 113: R4 P13 RB Jaylen Wright - Tennessee 130: R4 P30 CB Max Melton - Rutgers 139: R5 P4 C Mason McCormick - South Dakota State 141: R5 P6 WR Jamari Thrash - Louisville 154: R5 P19 RB Dylan Laube - New Hampshire 155: R5 P20 LB Michael Barrett - Michigan 183: R6 P7 CB Nehemiah Pritchett - Auburn TRADES Trade Partner: LA Rams Sent: Round 1 Pick 6 Received: Round 1 Pick 19 Round 2 Pick 20 Round 3 Pick 19 Round 3 Pick 35 Round 5 Pick 19 Round 5 Pick 20 Trade Partner: Washington Commanders Sent: Round 3 Pick 35 Received: Round 5 Pick 4 Round 3 Pick 36 Trade Partner: Baltimore Ravens Sent: Round 4 Pick 7 Received: Round 4 Pick 13 Round 4 Pick 30 |

Hell, at this point, I'd be OK taking ANY of the top 4 QBs at 6th overall. I don't like any of them enough to trade up for though If the Giants will choose any QB at 6, I can assure you they are going to have all scenarios in place for moving up to 3 or 4, and that will include overpaying. They do hold one card in they are closer for a team at 6 that wants some capital and still might get their non QB target...Alt/OT1 or a WR. Don't be shocked if a cornerback or two sneaks close to the top 10. I still want us to make a play for a vet CB. We have a young CB room, especially with Adoree gone. I'd like an older player to round out the starters with Banks, Flott, and who knows maybe Aaron Robinson will FINALLY see the field |

Well technically, a pound of fat weighs the same as a pound of muscle but muscle is more dense and takes up less space  Don't know if you've seen it, but a good example of that is the image I've seen of Daniels congratulating Nabers after he ran his 40. Nabers just looks huge and well built in comparison to Daniels. In fact just looking at the image it would be hard to believe that Nabers weighed in at 199lbs, whereas Daniels came in at 210lbs:  He has a RBs frame but the hands and body control of a WR thats why he will be a beats at the next level he needs to use his hands more when being pressed at LOS he is used to using his speed to get off press he has the size and strength to win both ways. |
