Episode notes
McCoy's Pro Day Reassures Speed Concerns
- Jermod McCoy's Tennessee pro day times were in the 4.37–4.41 range per scouts, calming speed concerns after a 2025 injury year.
- McShay notes his vertical (38) and broad (10-7) are solid but the class's testing numbers are historically inflated.
Ponds Converts Tape Into Elite Testing
- D'Angelo Ponds (Indiana) validated his tape with a low 4.3 pro day and a 43-inch vertical, turning him into a serious day-two corner prospect.
- McShay stresses that elite jumpers almost always run fast, strengthening Ponds' grade.
Mendoza Seen As Clear Top Pick Despite So-So Pro Day
- McShay believes Fernando Mendoza is effectively a top overall pick for the Raiders despite a 'meh' pro day throwing session.
- He emphasizes Mendoza's toughness, 6'5 frame, plus preparation and system fit with Kubiak.
