For the record I'm not in any camp and chose not to involve myself in the myriad debates outside of football if I could help it. I like reading about and discussing football, learning from others on here. If I want an argument I'll tell my sons to tidy their rooms ....
I think the staff we have are pulling together. I think analytics has a role - a tool to aid decision making, like in any other line of business. It can provide that extra insight on tangible measures - for example combine and pro day stats; or performance metrics for a position to judge effectiveness in certain situations, etc.
No offense, but it might be a good idea in the future to watch a little bit of film on a guy before surmising a website's opinion on him.
None taken...didn't make any final results on the kid. Explained why I said what I said in a post. I was hoping that it would be taken that anything said in February on the draft is not written in stone. So much more coming in time.
I think most of my OPINION is derived from the fact I don't see the position as one of IMPACT to us as a team. A lot of Gereralization also going into my post. But very logical.
If DK is of the Freak nature and has good to great hands. We can pretty much be assured that simply he will not be there at #17. So for me in searching (For fun we know our pick doesn't count, lol ) for our pick of the draft. 1. Need 2. History of, man this kid is great, if correct so great that he ends up chosen in the top 10 and not available for us at 17.
Its the beginning of the draft, what I deem as a good pick or not will change as I learn more about the kid, as I learn more about what is leaked out on who actual GMs/Personnel people out there think of said player. Watching film but at this moment I will pick my time on discovery of a player only if said player will be close to being Worthy and Available for our pick.
So not only in the future but in the present before Surmising a player...really positive or negative don't surmise (Final opinion) until a week or so prior to the draft. Heck we haven't even had the combine to get any Discussion on interviews, On physical specs! Film, actually I trust the points of discussion from posters on this board. I throw out the agenda driven opinion. I throw out an opinion made without much investigation (my own). Again my opinion was made on generalizations and logic of availability more than anything.
My thinking is leaning towards being correct. But not written in stone at all.
So right now we can view my opinion (NOT FINAL) based on two things. 1. Need not high on "MY" list. 2. Logic, if the kid is a Stud and freak as described we will not have the opportunity to draft him unless we move up. I don't wish to move up in this draft Not in the first round at least.
But thanks for putting clarification cause I didn't mean to present my opinions as FINAL and I can always change my mind.
So no offense taken, I will be honest mostly no offense taken because you are a respected poster without any obvious agendas except for our team to become great.

For me I'm looking at his Tricep muscle shown there as all is sticking out cause they just finished their lifting regimen. But looking at his Tricep muscle one thing stood out to me. Look how LONG IT IS, that is very important to me cause in lifting weight for an athlete to remain smooth in their actions. Muscles must be LONG not round of nature. So he is stretching properly after his work outs. After each rep it is so important to do some serious stretching in doing so you can make the muscle LONG and more natural than David Boston like which changed him as an NFL WR.
We will see him at the combine if he is that thick, tall and increased SPEED, in the 4.4 area and over 250 He could become a TE/WR. Now a days who cares what they are called. TE/WR lining up in the slot and outside are one in the same. The only difference would be lining up along side an OT and that would usually put a LB or possibly a SS over him.
Unfortunately I got a feeling he will be in Super Beast Mode coming into the Draft and we will not be able to even sniff him at #17. Curious Cfrs or CHS...who is the kid next to him?

He looks like an offensive version of Myles Garrett ...
John 3:16 Jesus said "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life."
Who was 6-10? Yeah DK I think we can forget about as he will become a definite 10 ten player and after his Combine I expect him to be talked about in the top 5 regardless of his injury during the season.
I don't really wish for a WR at #17 and I don't want us to move up for a WR.
I think this draft class is one of the best in a while to come out, its deep.

To me this is a losing position if he runs a 4.4 or better and he falls to us there must be serious questions about him. If he runs a 4.5 and falls to us I want to draft him in the second round,
I've never been one to say that an inch matters, but Hakeem Butler set the combine record with his 83 7/8th wingspan like two hours after DK got measured.

If both were there and we were going WR at 17, I would take Butler over Metcalf. Vers turned me onto Butler and I like him a lot . He's going to be a problem to cover

I don't think so. I've honestly only heard of body fat % being released for a few prospects over the years. So I'm hazarding that if they measure it, it's done by calipers, because logistically the pods would probably take hours on end to get everyone through them, or even a small pool. And to me, body fat % days before they work out sounds way too analytical for me to believe that the NFL does it. I would also argue that it's ared herring for data points.
John 3:16 Jesus said "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life."
There is no way they tested his body fat, and there's no way he's at 1.6% Arnold couldn't juice enough into his prime to get to that cut.
Absolutely no way, 1.6 isn't even healthy, he would have to be anorexic. Double it and that's probably still a little low. OBVIOUSLY not tested properly.
