I think the Colts might have gotten really lucky when KC traded up and selected Hardman and Phiily went with Whiteside. If Ballard and company liked Campbell as much as advertised , they could have considered moving up a bit from 59 ?

The only 3 not smiling.....Willis, Ya-Sin and Tell III.....they're mean muggin' the camera instead. Ha!

I don’t mean to be a killjoy....

 

But a reminder that these rookies are competing against mostly other rookie and street FAs who are trying to make the 90 man roster...

 

So their success in these settings is great...   but don’t get too carried away...   there are 31 other NFL rookie camps and some of those kids are doing well there too...

 

It’s a long,  long spring and summer...   

 

Just saying...

I think everyone realizes that. It is still fun. We will see how things go when they are competing against our starters.

I think teams still get an idea from the mini camps. For instance , the fact that it appears that Campbell can track a deep ball and make plays on an under thrown ball has little to do with who is defending him. It was also said he had very limited route tree . I think a mini camp could also prove or dispel this ?

It gives the coaches and brass a chance to see what they have and if they need to add a veteran FA

 

  It is about effort and how coachable a player is for the coaches/brain trust

Who is wearing 52? Looks to be a pretty large individual.

People are going to be wondering how he fell to us and got paired up with Luck. 

 

Yes, I think so too. I remember a thread about who will be best WR from the draft. Campbell (pre-draft) was not at/near the top on most of those.

Everyone said the best rookie wide receiver will be the one that’s goes to the best QB.

 

 

Some did, but most had lists.  Campbell rarely made it near the top.

Something else to keep in mind. Everyone talks about him having to learn the nfl route tree.  What analysts don’t stop to realize is  maybe some of these kids work on that stuff in their own free time. Just because OSU didnt use him right doesn’t mean he didn’t work on that stuff in his free time.

 

They do, they know their deficiencies. Here's Campbell's quote-

 

“I think the question kind of coming out was, ‘Can he run routes?’” Campbell told reporters Friday. “Since I had never done it, everyone just kind of put a no on it. But I mean I’m not going to lie to you, it is something that I needed to work on just because I didn’t have experience. So that was kind of my main focus throughout that whole process. Then having a guy like Coach (Brian) Hartline at Ohio State, who is a technician, was great for me and great for my teammates. So just going in that was kind of my main focus.”

I saw some of those. Haskins did not do him any favors. They were awful throws.

 

And yet, Haskins is much better than D. Jones?  Hmmm....

This is a excellent article summing up the first two days of rookie mini camp. You might have to read it on the Athletic Ap if your not a member.

I guess we'll find out. Haskins will be a starter sooner than Jones, so comparison of their rookie seasons is probably going to be meaningless, and being thrown into the fire too soon as a rookie doesn't always work out well. Check back in a few years.

Prior Regime, You bet man but with how CB AND staff knocked the 2018 draft out of the park please don’t attempt to STOP this hype train that’s known as Chris Ballard!!!!  I get it USUALLY, but brother this ain’t USUALLY it’s OK to hype rookies why?  Cuz Chris Ballard said so and when Chuck Norris aka Chris Ballard talks, YOU better LISTEN

When people that know football say things like "Paris Cambell got open due to his route running and not his speed" does it really mean that it doesn't mean anything because he's not going against seasoned vets ? He lasted until pick 59 because teams were afraid he was a one trick pony.  

 

Also , for what it's worth , I did a lot of driving this week and listened to

NFL radio . All they covered was the draft and I heard more than 1 GM say they were crapping their pants waiting for the drafted players to show up at mini camp. They didn't say they could determine if a player was a star. I would be embellishing if I said that. What they did say is they could more or less determine if they goofed in the draft.
