I said that based on the idea that he’d be 100% healthy and train for the last few months on testing and run in the 4.4 range. He seems to be bigger, and clearly not as healthy. I also thought he’d do the other drills where his Vert and Broad Jump would be really good and he would also do well in his agility drills, as his change of direction is pretty good. Alas, we didn’t get to see him do much

Denver is going to land him in round two. Woot woot
If the Broncos go WR in the first and second rounds, I'll lose my **** - even if it means they land Viska.
FWIW, I'm certainly not rooting against Montez. I would love for him to have a great NFL career.
Realistically, though, he is the epitome of a million dollar arm with a ten cent head.
I hope the NFL finds a way to get him to mature and approach the game in a professional manner, but until proven otherwise, he's much closer to Paxton Lynch than Patrick Mahomes.

I’m afraid we might be looking at the 3rd round

If this really is osteitis pubis, surgery success is, unfortunately, not a sure thing.
First round yes. Second round is fine.
I was speaking to the idea of them going WR in the 1st AND 2nd round, since many mocks have them taking a WR in the 1st.
As a Bears fan, I’d love it if they drafted LS with their one of their first picks, which are in the second round.
Unfortunately, I think most Bears fans would freak out due to the injury history, as LS will remind them of the body and potential of Kevin White, who was always injured, never panned out, and made millions from the team over a couple of contracts.

**** man, poor kid. He’s way too nice and good of a kid to go through this bull****, it sucks to see it. He deserves better, I hope he figures this out.

Reported.
Are you saying Anquan Boldin didn’t have NFL speed?
Unfortunately, it's part of the game. That said, how he was used like a Swiss Army Knife, it's not surprising. He's still young, though. It could turn out fine, hope it does.
Someone on Twitter was saying it was possible he was going to be in the low 4.4s
Well not quite. Still really good. Under 4.5 would make heads turn
4.5 flat for DT his second time.

My favorite DT moment last year was against Nowledge. Hopefully this link will start around 25:50. First, Mang flashes his potential as a play maker. Buffs! finally get on the board and then DT makes a statement tackle with his speed on the ensuing Nobbler first down. Still makes me happy, even with the disappointment over the end of the season and getting shanked by midnight.

No Pro Day for Viska. Will undergo surgery after Combine which will keep him out.

Draft prospect Laviska Shenault to undergo core surgery
One of this year's top receiving prospects is going under the knife ahead of the draft. Colorado receiver Laviska Shenault will undergo surgery Tuesday to repair a core muscle injury that he played through this season.

That's a pretty damn good time, he probably be a role guy, but who gives a **** if you can make the league? Talking about DT, btw.
This is the thing, the smart teams draft off what they see on film, the dumb teams draft based on a stopwatch.
There is plenty of film of Viska running through or running away from DBs who will have impressive times at the combine or in pro days.
Unfortunately I think you are correct on this one. The concern will be that Viska plays a style that increases the likelyhood of him being injured and not on the field, his college record shows that.
Hopefully when he gets to the league it is on a team that doesn't constantly run him into contact like he did at CU but if I am an NFL GM who is going to be held accountable for who I take in the 1st round I'm going to worry about him.
Yes, a guy with a physical style who has a big question mark because of his injury record should definitely wait to get paid and continue to play for free.
