Is this really what you think I said?
Well, it isn't. Nevertheless, let me point out...
BB traded for a little known WR and made a star out of him based on his quickness. His name is Wes Welker.
He followed that up with an unknown QB out of Kent St. and made a star out of him based on his quickness. Edelman.
Sometimes athletic traits can make a difference if a coach is smart enough to take advantage of them.
Cooper Kupp for example. He's an average NFL athlete who has been successful. Table stakes of being a successful NFL WR aside, do you know what singular athletic trait made him successful in the league?
You agreed previously that skill positions are vastly based on skills and not combine metrics. Yet you keep posting about combine stats still for skill position players.
It’s not just Kupp. There’s a LONG list of noncombine stars who are superstar football players. and a long line of combine stars who cannot play football at an elite level at their position

I would love Zay Flowers . He is the explosive quickness Wr. That would be perfect Jones quick hitters . BB draft are known for value trades & WTH selections. I think Jones was rare predicted pick that happened.
You didn't answer my question. Look at Kupp's combine numbers and see if you can determine where his success comes from.
Do you agree or disagree that Welker and Edelman took advantage of their quickness to be successful?
Wes Welker had a RAS of 2
JoeJuan Williams had a RAS of 8
Orlando Brown had one of the worst RAS scores of his class and made 4 Pro Bowls before age 27..
Combine scores mean sh-t especially at skill positions
The RAS founder even did a correlation analysis and combine metrics are negligible at predicting football talent or success
I think its ot and ot.Mike (and I) thinks OT and CB are the biggest needs in the draft.
Ranking Patriots' needs, as they face longest SB odds under Bill Belichick
Which positions do the Patriots still have to address now that the initial wave of free agency has passed?www.espn.com
