    Baker going to Cleveland most likely. I think the Pats get Lamar Jackson and an O lineman

    Once again the NFL hits its racial quota of only 25% White players selected. Trey Quinn as 'Mr. Irrelevant'........LOL at the racial discrimination every year.

    I love the annual NFL draft.

    It marks the official beginning of springtime.

    The Boyz Of Summer are at it.

    Football is only a few months away.

    My team drafted linemen and on defense.

    We also got one new punter and one wide receiver.

    Well, we didn't draft James but we still did great drafting Jaire Alexander Corner back and Josh Jackson Corner back and we picked up 3 wide receivers, all over 6'2" and 205 lbs. They all average a 4.45 40.

    Rodgers should be happy!

    I wish they would cite 100 yd dash times.

    Those I can relate to.

    20 yds, 40 yds, etc means nothing to me.

    40 yard times are considered to be the bench mark for "On Field" Speed. Most big plays are in that range.

    That's correct. It's the most important speed/distance portion of the play. Hardly any plays go 100 yards. You want to measure the realistic speed/distance

    I agree.

    But for a benchmark I would still like to know their 100 yd dash times.

    I ran the 100.

    I did not run the 40.

    You can make a pretty good guess of an athletes 100 yard dash time based on their 40 yard time. I would say that most players with a 40 yard time of 4.5 seconds would run a 100 yard dash in 11 to 12 seconds..
