Tinstar Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Towles measured 6047/241 pounds including a hand of 9.5 inches. His vertical jump reached 33.5 inches, he touched 10-feet even in the broad then timed 4.59s in the forty. This could make me reconsider my take on QB in the 1st round .

Dinamite Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Where is he expected to go in the draft (round)? I can't find him in NFL.com's list of prospects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tinstar Posted March 22, 2017 Author Share Posted March 22, 2017 He started 1 yr at Boston college after transferring from Kentucky where he was the starter for 2 yrs prior . He's got an absolute cannon for an arm and is mobile as hell . He just needs developing big time . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm game for reviewing them if I can find them on youtube that is...Kentucky is not a program I ever watch live. If they have some good prospects, I'll go back and check whatever draftbreakdown.com has for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a believer that he'll be doing anything other than selling insurance or whatever. He looked HORRIBLE when I saw him. But to be fair, I don't like Boston teams so some bias exists there. Now as far as the "Athlete" part....any chance you think he switches positions? Might be worth trying for some team as a UDFA TE or something....stash him on the PS for 2 years or whatever?

I don't remember what game I caught, but he had a stretch of 5-6 throws where he looked absolutely unreal. Throws with zip and perfect placements, couldn't have walked over and handed it to the receivers in a better spot. Then he got erratic. Not sure if it's a mechanical thing. Wouldn't hate him as a late round flyer to compete with Petty for a roster spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think he can develop into a Brad Smith type player? (that was one of the worst moves by Tanny when he let him sign with the Bills for a relatively modest sum. We won two games in 2010 directly because of him). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like more of a question for Tinstar. He seems way more familiar with him. He's holding weight at 240? Could he slim down and get to 4.5? I don't know...But as a TE...that's pretty good. That's a very tough path for him. I doubt anyone gives him a shot there, especially this late in the game. My guess is he'd need to REALLY impress scouts as a receiver at the proday.

sirlancemehlot Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Did you guys see this kid from Ohio State? Linebacker. 6'4", 260lbs, runs a 4.6 40, 35.5 inch vertical and a 10-1/2" broad jump--37 reps on the bench! Then there's kid, WR from Georgia tech. Wow! 6'4", 215 lbs, ran a legit 4.36 in the 40 and has a 39.5 inch vertical! Another kid from Ohio state, WR, 6' tall 4.4 40, 39" vertical and 10' broad jump! Man-o-man! And a OT from Umass, 6'4" 332 lbs. At that size he ran a 5.2 40! 29 reps on the bench and a 28" vertical! At 332 Pounds! I'd take any one of them in the first round with those measurables. How can you lose? #1 Vernon Gholston #2 Stephen Hill #3 Devin Smith #4 Vlad Ducasse sign football players and leave the tape measure to the carpenters please.
