Michael Floyd's Stock Just Went Up

Remember when Taylor Mays (6'3", 235lb?) ran his 40 at 4.24 and everyone was freaking out for about a half hour? Later they announced his official was 4.41. Still unreal, but if that 4.24 would have been legit, it would have been something we've never seen before (considering size and speed).

i wonder if he'll run at the pro day or if he'll be okay with that time.

No sense in running the 40 at ND on grass when you already posted a 4.47, IMO.

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.

I hope it's the Redskins... That asking price of two ones a two and a three is way, way to much for a team on the rebuild. That sets you back 5 years in my opinion of you turn away 4 potential starters vs. bringing in on guy. The Browns need to focus their attention elsewhere.

AS a skins fan i hope they don't give all that up to get him. The skins have some nneeds other the QB and that would kill them.

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.

Who's to say we don't take a great player at 4.... (Richardson possibly) and trade up to get Mike? It makes no sense to mortgage your entire draft for Griffin when you need so many pieces. I can see trading up from 22, but not 4 and give up on the whole process.

I don't know if any RB is worth a top-10 pick.. short life-span in the NFL and it always seems like 5th rounders/undrafted guys come out of nowhere to be just as good as first rounders.. i say the Browns wait at 4, take Blackmon and give McCoy another target.. if McCoy sucks next year, they'll probably be in the running for Barkley.. if he doesn't suck, well then they have their QB

QB is the great equalizer, thats why. Obviously it has to pan out, but thats the price you pay. I would never spend a first round pick on a RB, ever.

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

I think Tate's unofficial was like 4.38 or something

Even so, how many of us would have thought MF was nearly as fast at GT? Secondly, what makes it "official"? Most of the official runs were the slower second one. Just curious as to how and why one becomes official?

Exactly what I was think junk...

Nearly as fast, just not as shifty.

But it was nice to have them both for awhile.

I am going to call it. Michael Floyd will be drafted to the Panthers at the #9 spot.

Technically there is no such thing as an "official" time. At the combine six times are taken. Two electronically, but started by hand and the finish is electronically stopped once the player crosses the end line, and of the two runs there are two hand timed. So out of the six times they will either add all times and take the average or remove the fastest and slowest and take the average of the remaining times.

So basically it is an average, the method may be different for taking the average though.

I think Floyd helped himself, but so did the guy from G-tech. Measured in at 6'4", 215, 39.5 vertical and 4.36 40-yard dash. I know Al Davis won't be drafting a WR this year, but I wonder if some teams would take this guy ahead of Floyd.

I'm still hoping, most likely in vain, that Floyd might possibly drop to the mid 20s, where my Steelers could pick him up. With them not bringing back Hines Ward, they could use a guy like Floyd. Even with their stable of young guys who appear to be maturing into solid NFL receivers, I'd love to see Floyd in Pittsburgh.

as I watched Floyd today...same fleeting thought came to me too. Floyd would flourish in the Steeler Organization, and I think he replaces some of what Ward was...clutch, strong, good blocker (sometimes Ward was so good at blocking folks wanted to kill him)...Ward was a horse for along time...I'll miss him...but I'd feel way better if Floyd ended up there :).

Can't see how though...we really need an Oline boost.

He just ran a 4.42 at the combine. He may be working his way into the top 15 picks. Sucks for me, I want the Browns to get him but he won't be there at 22.

If he's by some miracle available when the Bears pick at 19 my head will explode....
