Michael Floyd's Stock Just Went Up

[military_irish]

He is being interviewed and said his Vert Jump was 36.5

 

[military_irish]

NFL combine analysis rates Floyd 89.5 and Blackmon 93.5. If you read their actual analysis, it seems as if Floyd should be rated higher anyway. I know who I would take!

It is kind of funny because listed as one of Floyd's weaknesses were speed. I wonder if that train of thought has been removed.

 

[rtrn2glory]

Thats a great time but I don't know if it will move him up. There are a lot of fast people in the NFL and speed alone doesn't score points. 19 seems about right to me.

yes, hopefully that's what all the GM's are thinking before the bears at 19. if the bears get him i'll be cloud nine, as will jay cutler.

OT to this thread, but I just read that Andrew Luck ran the same 40 time as Cam Newton last year.... and then turned around and posted a better vert than Cam and equal broad jump. That's nuts.

the dude's going to go #1...i wouldn't even waste my time throwing for the scouts at a pro day. i'd say you know what i've got take me if you want and pay me.

Darron Thomas was surprisingly slow. I think he ran a 4.73 and 4.8.

Rams will get a WR... probably Blackmon
Panthers want a WR at #9... Floyd as a shot at being a top 10 pick.

Interesting to see where Floyd ends up to be honest.

Hoping Rams trade with Cleveland, Vikings skip Kalil for whoever, Rams grab Kalil @ 4 then grab Floyd after he slips to 22. That might be asking for to much to happen.

No way vikes skip on Kahlil... Floyd goes 12-20 IMO

 

[Brooklyn]

Top 15 pick with his showing today imo.

 

[IrishLax]

If the Redskins can't move up to the #2 pick AND Morris Claiborne isn't around for some reason... I think there's a very good chance they move out of the #6 spot and look to draft a guy like Kuechly, Floyd, Wright, Barron, etc. later. We need a lot of pieces. I think they might even do this if Claiborne is available.

But in all likelihood either the Browns or Skins are moving up to #2 and grabbing Griffin.

Hopefully the Browns do. As a Giant fan, I dont want to see RGIII in Washington.

But Cam got the Auburn education. Oh, wait, never mind.

Just goes to show he made the right decision coming back for his senior year. Congrats and good luck Mike!

I want to trade up for Griffin so badly. We have 2 first founders this year, which I think would be a fair deal. My worry is that the Rams will ask for too much, or Dan Snyder will again sell the estate for a QB and will outbid us for him.

And if we'd stayed pat, I would've hoped for Floyd to fall to 22. But it doesn't look like that's likely.

 

[rikkitikki08]

he will be takin in the 15-20 range....And that seems just about right. The 40 time is important but that alone wont throw him into the top 10

But it certainly could put him in the 10-14 range. He was going in the top 20 (imo) coming into the combine. I think this will move him up 5-6 spots into that 10-14 range.

The NFL combine is used more for confirming opinions on players than changing them.

 

[Zbi]

Please let my Chicago Bears draft him. We need a big time play-maker at receiver.

 

[calvegas04]

the 49ers or chargers could use him, plus would be a nice little reward for Floyd to come to a warmer climate.

 

[china423]

He needs to be on the Bears for sure.

 

[WhoDeyIrish]

I'll take him in Cincinnati. AJ Green on one side Floyd on the other. Steelers better worry about trying to resign Mike Wallace rather than trying to draft another receiver.

 

[koonja]

I saw on espn that Floyd's official time was 4.47

Floyd is competing in the All-Star Football Challenge on ESPN right now.

 

[Pachuco]

Go Michael! Keep it up, brother!

Just think, we were that mediocre with such a freak athlete last year. We are not going to win a game without him next year.Our offense is going to suck. The economy will never rebound. We are all going to die. Ahhhh!

Interesting that Floyd's 4.42 matched Tate from 2 years ago.

Tate's 4.42 was official...Floyd had an official of 4.47

I think Tate's unofficial was like 4.38 or something
