Georgia LB CJ Allen ran his 40 today for scouts and talent evaluators at 4.47, an average of the times recorded from 4.45-4.50. A confirmation of the speed the projected late-first/early-second round pick has shown on tape.

have seen the "caleb downs just a box safety" shit so much. watching caleb downs play the deep third in 3, reminds me a lot of ETIII. He's not just a box safety, you're just tired of hearing about how the best safety in college football for the last 3 years, is still the best.

Blake Miller run blocking

The 2025 Bengals were quite literally the worst defense against the tight end in the history of the NFL. Caleb Downs would fix that problem overnight - can't imagine them passing if he's there at 10.

Good thing I don't use spreadsheets to tell me if a player is good or not. I agree that blending film and analytics is the key in proper prospect evaluations. That's what NFL teams and actual decision-makers do. Saying you can learn a lot about a player in 4 games is bullshit. It's a lie people tell themselves because they just started scouting prospects 3 months before the NFL draft and there isn't enough time to actually watch an adequate amount of film for a prospect before the draft. It's disrespectful to the players and discredits the amount of work they've put in on and off the field. And it's disrespectful to the actual draft analysts who put in an enormous amount of time, effort, and resources into proper film evaluation. Watching film on prospects is fun. But let's not act like watching a 4-game cut-up puts someone on the same level as film analysts who actually put in the work year-round. Watching film and evaluating prospects is a skill. It's an art. It requires experience, knowledge, expertise, and familiarity, not just as a whole, but for every position. You want me to put any kind of trust or value in the opinion of someone who's telling me how good a player is for someone they had no idea existed the week prior? People who actually put in the work can smell the bullshit. A vast majority of draft opinions by self-proclaimed film analysts are so shallow that they cave the second they receive any pushback. The NFL is doing it right because they have actual investment in prospect evaluation. If most NFL draft analysts were actually held to ANY kind of standard and required ANY kind of credibility in their prospect evaluation, the quality of draft content would increase exponentially. But they're not. No, you cannot evaluate the value of a player in 4 games. Or 6 games. Or 10 games. If you want your opinion to actually mean something then put in the work and watch the damn film. Otherwise, you're a content creator first and not an actual draft analyst.

Not trying to start an argument here, BUT Arvell Reese vs Indiana is why I am not a fan of him at 2. Tweeners like Reese can become non existent in certain games vs certain teams. Reese in OSU's biggest game of the season had little to no impact (1 assisted tackle). Watch it for yourself 👇
