Goodwin did a 4.29. Austin did the 4.25.

 

That's what I see, until they change the times to officials.

The speed thing just moved both of these guys up one round, which is bad for us. Austin went from the 3rd to the second, and Goodwin from the 4th to the 3rd, which we dont ha

I think you're right on Goodwin, but Tavon Austin was already being considered for a late first round pick before the combine. You have to think with these results he's almost guaranteed himself as a lock to be a first rounder.

 

If Lane Johnson isn't available at 20 for us, I am taking Tavon Austin. Just my two cents.

That will never happen, I wont mind that, but there will be many options for a speed guy in the 4th, I see Austin as a (Randall Cobb) type, which would be great, but still think the 1st round will be a OL, no tackle, then one of the top two guards will fall.

more impressive for Austin was 14reps at 175lbs. Thats great (no Darren Sproles, but hey)

Officially Austin ran a 4.34, and Goodwin ran a 4.27. Still very impressive.

I've never thought Austin was a realistic target (I wouldn't take him with our first pick and he'll be gone by our second) and while I know Goodwin is fast, I've not been overly impressed by the highlights I've seen of him. I just like seeing a lot of WRs run fast, which might push a nice speedy receiver like Markus Wheaton, Josh Boyce, or Kenny Stills into play in the 4th when our pick comes up again.

Those are 3 names I am looking at. I think one will fall there. I would say it would be really nice if we could trade down, and get a third to make sure we get one of those guys. If we trade down we could still get a starting OG like Warford or even Jones will be there, early 2nd

Take Ryan Swope in the 5th

 

Fills the role we are lookin for

I turned it on late but so far Denard Robinson hasn't looked half bad.

I dont think he makes it out of the 3rd, but I think taking a chance on him, if he falls to us in the 4th would be great. Athletic, speed, KR,PR specialty plays on offense. Worth a chance at 4.

There were a few who had Austin pegged in top 15 before the combine

He reminds me of Sanzenbacher and Haas. Everyone wants the next Wes Welker. I'd rather get a good player than to try to match Welker (small, white, quick). Swope's hands are tiny. I'll take Boyce or Wheaton in the 4th over some small white guy in the 5th.

late first, early second. Who needs him in the top 15? that doesnt need more apparent help.

he ran a 4.34 at 6.05' 205lb and caught the ball well

I m with you Boyce or Wheaton would fit just find.Stills-Okla or Sanders-South Car could be added to that list. Sanders didnt run well in the combine but will show more speed at his Pro Day.

Tavon is a first round pick. Probably somewhere between 15 & 25.

After watching him catch the ball on that drill where they run across the field catching passes from the left/right alternately I'd say yes. It wasn't his pass catching that caught my eye, he isn't what I'd call a natural receiver with his hands, using his body quite a bit, and IMO that's a bit of a problem for a guy who isn't that big. Of course catching him will be the problem. It was his cut at the end of the drill, one foot planted and he was gone upfield at full speed. Second half of the first round seems reasonable.

Just reporting what I've seen some say. Some believe he will be a big time stud in the league

You take Austin over Cooper? No way. That would be horrible draft pick usage for the Bears.

I think Austin is a better football player than Cooper. So yeah.. I would.

But another early WR? Are there enough balls to go around? I don't think so, at least not until the OL gets fixed.

I cannot see taking any WR before the 4th round pick. I would rather get a TE who can catch and block vs a WR who is not going to be more than a #3. In the 1st or 2nd would almost be a wasted pick, yeah you want BPA, but there is also utilization as well.
