2021 Pro Day Predictions and Discussion

[like54ninjas]

To make you feel a little better....Ronnie Stanley had about the same 40 and bench results, but Little smoked him in the 3 cone and shuttle. Ronnie Stanley all pro his third year, and considered one of the best pass blocking tackles in the league.

Ronnie Stanley/Walker Little

40yd dash- 5.20/5.26
20yd shuttle-4.9/4.58
3 cone-8.03/7.44
Bench-24/24

If you look it up, you will find Littles 3 cone agility is top notch, beating Slater and Meinerz....I wish there was an easier way to side by side compare these results, and I was handy imbedding stuff...but I am sure someone on here will nail it. Suffice it to say, Little's numbers are very acceptable, and if some numbers aren't eye popping, great...means we can get him in the second.

Smart man.

Been following Em Diggie for years.

He gets in the nooks and crannies.

LOL. So you're saying this manster is a TE and an OT ?

If you believe Little will be your starting LT, don’t get cute and trade back thinking he will be there at 20 or so. take him at 13. There is not a 2nd can’t miss prospect in the draft for LT, every guy after Sewell has an asterisk’d projection to LT. Little’s asterisk is nobody has seen him play in 2 yrs. but he has the physical measurables the other top asterisks lack (e.g. Slater, AVT), and somebody will bet on the tried and true formula applied to LT scouting.

If coaches and scouts think they can test around no recent game tape, and they see he’s got it - just take him. LT is an over-drafted position. No guarantee he will be there at 15, much less 20.

I agree with this, Compare the tape to Marcus McNeil from 15 years ago. IF he compares to McNeil - without the stenosis issue -he is well damn worth the 13th pick in the draft. The bar is so low - King for a time, Dunlap, Barksdale, Tevi, Scott. I would have no problem "reaching" for Walker Little if the film shows

There is no way in hell that TT is going to risk his career picking Little at 13 when he hasn’t played in 2 years.

Yeah, agree. I said the same thing in an earlier thread. These guys don’t wanna hear it.

Little looks healthy to me so if they like his tape, i dont see why they wouldnt draft him @ 13 if they feel he is worth it. If they feel they can trade back , get a pick and still get him....provided Slater is gone, cool.

Whats the risk that is such a big deal?

Slater didnt play last year and neither did Farley who got hurt in 2019, missed the last 2 games of that season and opted out of 2020. But he ran a 4.3 at his proday.

Knew he’d come in at over 200#s.

Farley looks fast. That 4.3 time was at a training facility, but wouldn’t be surprised if he repeated it at his official Virginia Tech pro day, which is next week (3/26).

Yes and the pro day times are always faster IMO. You Can add anywhere from. 05 to. 1... Somewhere in between those times as what it seemed to be compared to the combine over the years. . 05 at minimum and is what I usually add.

Im just saying they are healed up so I don't see the issue or concern with Little not playing. Many players opted out this past season
