Callidus Posted April 28 Report Share Posted April 28 45 minutes ago, BudsOilers said: Curious to see what the contract terms are in terms of SB - would be another indicator of how the team feels. That said, it's a no brainer to think the drafted guys in 4 have a better shot of sticking. Being he is a 5th round pick I doubt he gets much more guranteed than the signing bonus which is from what Iv read basically fixed by his draft slot.

Most of his highlights are against ACC competition. You can choose to take Restrepo at his word over what he timed but it’s borderline retarded for people to pretend like they can look at some highlight plays and pretend like they can see the difference between a 4.6 and 4.8 WR.

Restrepo's max speed was 20 mph, which would make the top 15-20 list of fastest ball carriers on next gen stats nearly every week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BudsOilers Posted April 28 Report Share Posted April 28 We'll find out whether he can separate against NFL guys soon enough. If he can, he's got a chance to stick. If not, just another guy who was good in college and not good enough for the NFL. Pragidealist 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We dot' have those to debate/discuss.. that's why we're talking 40's. Oh! Teams didn't draft him.. so he's slow. Gotcha. Like Wes Welker....

BudsOilers Posted April 28 Report Share Posted April 28 Quote Although Dike doesn’t have the biggest frame, he is faster than people give him credit for. The 6’0, 195-pound receiver clocked a 4.46 40-yard dash at Wisconsin and improved on his speed throughout Florida’s offseason workout program. Dike is up to a max velocity of 22 MPH and set his personal record several times this summer. https://www.gatorcountry.com/feature/chimere-dike-breaks-down-improvements-in-speed-wide-receiver-room-ahead-of-2024-season/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be cool if he can be good but people are really reaching here lol. If he really is so limited athletically the odds of him making the team are very low especially in the modern NFL where players are more athletic than in the past. The chances are so low that people have to cite generational, really all time great, WRs lol. Justafan, and Pragidealist 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt it was just speed related. Justafan 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NashvilleNinja Posted April 28 Report Share Posted April 28 I mean... if you ran a 40 time you know you're faster than and you know it's going to hurt your stock wouldn't you be trying to do some damage control? These guys are trying to get paid, after all. It doesn't mean the hamstring pull was a figment of his imagination. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BudsOilers Posted April 28 Report Share Posted April 28 I think if he would have done halfway decent on the 40' time and short area testing, he would have been drafted. That was a massive red flag and honestly his explanation was illogical and probably didn't help. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again - it would have been easier to buy if he had not followed up the testing stuff with a full workout with Ward and the other receivers with no limitations....It's like Mary telling Joseph she's pregnant through immaculate conception.
