Seeing Shanahan on a training camp injury list is hilarious.

Bailey was such a stud


Even more so than speed or bend, I never have any idea how an edge player’s power will translate to the NFL. Bailey’s playing strength — to go with his hand use and burst — is legit.

He was always top notch at those, it was the bend that was his only non elite trait. Some concern about run defense as well but that is normally coachable as long as you are not 6'2 240 pounds playing edge. Then it becomes a little more tricky.

I wasn’t commenting specifically about assessing Bailey’s traits. Just that I think projecting  playing strength for 240lb guys against NFL tackles seems damn near impossible at least for me. Those smaller guys have to put so much torque on their legs, then up through their bodies, going against athletes who outweigh them by 80-100 pounds, rep after rep. I’d rather predict the weather!

I gotta stop checking out during the draft season. You mean a significantportion of the board wanted to spend #4 overall on a LB and a RB. Jesus christ. What happened here?

Wasn't just on here. The titans media was going nuts for love. Justin graver was absolutely devastated when the cards took him. Hilarious stuff.
