the film looks good, that’s about all to get from it.

IMO WR and LB are the hardest to actually project how individual players will do at each jump; HS—CFB—NFL

It’s worrying the UW staff seems particularly bad at it though.
WR is one of the easiest
No it’s not...

There are a massive number of high 3 and 4 star WRs that completely flame out in college.

Likewise there are a ton of WRs that produce great numbers in college that never live up to their draft position in the NFL.

Just look at the WRs just drafted in the first round between 2017-2014... half of them havent lived up to their draft position or are on their way out... and these are the super high end first round draft pick guys... let alone the bunches of guys that are regularly drafted in rounds 3-6...

Corey Davis (5), John Ross (9), Corey Coleman (15), Will Fuller (21), Josh Doctson (22), Laquon Treadwell (23), Kevin White (7), Breshad Perriman (26), Sammy Watkins (4), Kelvin Benjamin (28)

There have been a ton of studies and papers done the the low success rate and variability of WRs in the NFL... especially those drafted in earlier rounds...

This is interesting but pretty worthless. That data set is just way too large to draw any real conclusions. The NFL is a completely different game that it was 1990, let alone 1980.
Approximate Value also isn't a very good stat. Though I understand why they use it because its hard to measure 'busts'.

By AV Germain Ifedi was a very good draft pick for the Seahawks, because he has started nearly every game of his career, even if he's been barely above replacement level.

That too.

And fuck Ifedi.

He played with his torn labrum for most of the season and still managed to rack up 122 tackles, 13 tackles-for-loss and was named First Team All KingCo and was the KingCo Defensive MVP.

Pittsburg Steelers team doctor is handling the surgery and he should be ready for fall camp.

I 'member the days when people weren't excited about Bruener.
I'm still not. I'll believe it when I see it with these ILBs. I'm only excited about Calvert and to some extent Ulo.

I bet you care about stars and don't appreciate diamonds in the rough.
The diamond in the ruff beef Wellington and manu are paying big dividends
Wellington was a 4 star

After seeing Welly’s HS film, I recall saying, in this space, something to the effect of:

Impressive athlete. But he’s not a RB. He’s not a LB. He’s not a S. What position is he gonna play?

I loved Welly as a prospect. Thought he would be good. The only thing that pissed me off were the idiots that would cherry pick BBK plays and pretend he wasn’t good and wanted Wellington to play over him.

I still thought he would be a good starter this year. He sucks.
