Allen Lazard- NFL Draft

[jbindm]

Per NFL.com Lazard is the only ISU player invited to the combine. Not a huge surprise. I figured Lanning and Cotton Moya were long shots but I was still hoping they'd make the cut.

I got Lazard going to the Vikings late 3rd round in my first mock draft of the year...

Also got Campos going to Jacksonville in round 6, Lanning to Cleveland round 7 and Cotton-Moya in round 7 to Seattle. I could see a bunch of guys getting picked up as undrafted free agents: Waggoner, Murdock, Ryen, Wilkerson and Alexander. Downing probably won't get a shot after being terrible in the 2nd half of this season.

If the G.O.A.T. Kirby Van Der Kamp can't make an NFL team, then Downing sure won't

That's not true at all. You see guys every year with all-world numbers in college who go undrafted. NFL drafts based on how good they think a player can be in the NFL, and that starts with having the measurables.

The QB position is different though. You can't really measure what makes a good QB. If you draft based on size and arm strength you end up with Jamarcus Russell.

I would much rather have Josh Allen than Sam Darnold, I'll tell you that much.

Just ran 4.62 on his 1st 40 attempt

Is that a better time than what was expected?

Allen did? That's pretty good. 4.5 would get him better draft position but Jerry Rice only ran a 4.7 and he's the best at getting seperation of all time. He was better in space than Allen but Allen's size is a huge advantage for him in the NFL.

He ran during commercial break so I was bummed that we couldn’t hear Mayocks assessment. From the clip, he looked smooth.

4.56 second run. Not bad at all for Allen!

 

[WastedTalent]

4.56 much better

 

[88clone]

4.56 the second time. That'll work!

That is a pretty good time for Lazard. Lazard has elite blocking skills for a WR. He does make occasional drops though.

 

[BigJCy]

Good time for Allen. Still have to wait to see the "Official" time though.

 

[dualthreat]

Pretty much what we expected. He has a ton of value outside of top speed. He will make a living in the NFL for several years

 

[HFCS]

4.56 much better

I'm no draft fan so correct me if I'm wrong...that's about average with the rest of his measurables likely to be well above average right? He has to be one of the biggest WRs.

I have a friend down here that still can't believe Van Der Kamp didn't get an NFL roster spot. Only guy on the team he knew the name of.

 

[BigLame]

4.56 much better

Think that may have earned him a little more $$$$$$$$
Looks like that time was made official. Great to see.

 

[BigJCy]

Good time for Allen. Still have to wait to see the "Official" time though.

Looks like the "Official" time is 4.55. At his size would think the scouts would be very pleased with that time.

That is a pretty good time for Lazard. Lazard has elite blocking skills for a WR. He does make occasional drops though.

It amazed me over the past two years how many highly contested balls he brought in compared to the number of easy ball drops.

With his blocking skills and RZ threat ability that 40 time should jump him up a little bit you'd think. You know he will nail he interviews.
