I hope Marshawn's ends up with the raiders. Let him get that team to the next level.

Somebody make sense of this? Chip was fired in philly but his staff was kept? Now his staff isn't granted permission to interview where Chip is now?
 
fellas I've been watching videos of deandrew white and smelter today out of boredom and I can't wait to see these dudes eat in kelly's system. smelter got them ODB hands and white's got torrey's speed..let the young one's play.

this team is incredibly young at wr and yet, I'm hella excited. QP showed a lot of flashes towards the end of the season, despite being a knucklehead
 
Wentz to Smelter

NFL.com draft profiles are up!!
 STRENGTHS Tall with an athletic, proportional build that is made for the NFL position. Played in a pro­style attack with plenty of snaps under center. Asked to make NFL throws and showed he could do it. Stands tall in the pocket and delivers with a relatively high release point. Keeps ball high and tight in the pocket and can uncork it quickly with tight, sharp release and little wasted motion. Throws catchable ball with tight spiral. Naturally accurate passer. Sees lurking linebackers underneath and throws receivers open to safest spot in the passing window. Able to change arm slots and still throw a strike. Has plus deep ball accuracy and touch. Calm in pocket and has no problems sitting in and taking a hit to complete a pass. Excelled in structured passing attack that required him to read the entire field. Has athleticism to escape pressure and hurt defenses with his legs. Already able to feel pressure on the edges and slide around in pocket without dropping his eyes. Adept in play­action game selling fakes and quickly finding safeties to help determine where to go with the ball. Intelligent with long list of academic achievements. Should be able to process and handle an NFL playbook quickly. Can play pitch and catch all day long against zone coverage.

WEAKNESSES When rolling out, will float it a little too much when taking shots down the field. Allows passing windows to close quickly when he short­arms release. Need a little more consistency on anticipatory throws outside the hash. Will get caught locking in on target bringing secondary charging in to make a play on the ball. Inconsistent footwork from the pocket. Arm gets ahead of his feet even with time to come to balance. Needs to pick up pace of his post­snap setup. Has to put a little extra air on his field­side throws. Can be a little flat with his downfield, touch throws. Has to eliminate the occasional nonchalant throw into tight quarters. Doesn’t look comfortable yet with bootleg rollouts to the left. Broke a bone in his throwing wrist in October sidelining him for 8 weeks. Dealt with arm and shoulder injuries as a baseball player in high school. Lower level of competition could cause issues for him adapting to NFL speed.

NFL COMPARISON Blake Bortles

BOTTOM LINE With a body type that is as prototypical as they come and a background in reading the entire field and working through progressions, Wentz will immediately check a couple of boxes that many college quarterbacks won’t be able to check. While his arm strength is okay, he can still make all the throws and he can make them with accuracy. His ability to escape pressure and pick up first downs with his feet will be yet another check mark in his favor. Wentz is still in a developmental phase after just two years at an FBS program, but the mental and physical building future, franchise quarterback.

[h1]ACCURACY VS. MOBILITY: CHIP KELLY'S BEEN CLEAR ON WHERE HIS QB PRIORITY LIES[/h1][h1]SANTA CLARA -- [/h1]
After trading up to draft USC quarterback Matt Barkley in the fourth round in 2013, then-Eagles coach Chip Kelly was asked why Barkley was a good fit.

"In this league, you have to be able to throw the football," Kelly said. "Repetitive accuracy is the No. 1 thing we are looking for."

From that point forth, 'repetitive accuracy' became a refrain in Philadelphia. "He said that a thousand times," said Greg Cosell, senior producer of NFL Films, and someone who watched Kelly's tenure with the Eagles very closely.

Last year, after the Eagles had traded for quarterback Sam Bradford, Kelly said, "I think, in this league, getting someone who can throw it (is crucial). You'd better have repetitive accuracy, you'd better have someone who can win a game throwing the football."

Then before the Eagles played Washington in Week 16 -- Kelly's final game before he was fired -- the head coach had this to say about Washington quarterback Kirk Cousins: "When you watch the tape, the thing that stands out is the repetitive accuracy. He is extremely accurate with the football. He doesn't seem to put the ball in harm's way."

Barkley, Bradford and Cousins aren't known -- at all -- for their running ability, a skill present in all of Kelly's quarterbacks at the University of Oregon, and one many presume Kelly has been longing for during his time as an NFL coach.

But that trio is accurate. Cousins, for example, completed 69.8 percent of his passes in 2015, the best mark in the NFL.

Which raises questions about how Kelly perceives the quarterbacks he inherits with the 49ers, including Colin Kaepernick.

Kelly at least explored trading for Kaepernick last spring, which strongly suggests he thinks he can win with Kaepernick running his offense. He and Kaepernick also spoke briefly at the 49ers team facility on Monday, a league source said. Kaepernick had been rehabilitating from shoulder, thumb and knee surgeries in Colorado but is doing so with the team now.

Kaepernick is similar athletically to the quarterbacks with whom Kelly had smashing success at Oregon. But he has not distinguished himself in terms of accuracy. He's completed 59.9 percent of his passes over his NFL career and his 59 percent rate in 2015 ranked 30th out of 34 qualifying quarterbacks.

Blaine Gabbert, who replaced Kaepernick after eight games, was better but not dramatically so. He completed 63.1 percent of his passes, ranking 18th overall in that category.

Both are very good runners -- Kaepernick has the single-game rushing record for a quarterback, 181 yards -- with college backgrounds in read-option offenses. Kaepernick averaged 5.7 yards a carry in 2015; Gabbert averaged 5.8 yards a carry. Both are under contract with the 49ers for the upcoming season.

"I could easily see Gabbert being more effective in Chip's offense than Kaepernick," Cosell said. "Now one of the problems that Chip has had in the NFL is he likes to get five (pass catchers) out, which increases the pressure on your quarterback. And that's not Gabbert's strength. And you need a really good o-line, which he did not have in Philly and which he certainly does not have in San Francisco as we speak right now."

Kelly's tenure in Philadelphia began in 2013 with a mobile passer, Michael Vick, the first quarterback to ever rush for 1,000 yards in a season. But Vick completed only 53.8 percent of his passes in his first five starts and was replaced by Nick Foles. Foles completed 64 percent of his passes that season as the Eagles went to the playoffs in 2013. That percentage, however, dropped to 59.8 percent in 2014.

Kelly wasn't happy, and before the 2015 season he traded Foles to St. Louis for Bradford, who completed 65 percent of his passes last season.

While Kelly received good accuracy from Bradford, he didn't get a lot of wins. Bradford threw 19 touchdowns and 14 interceptions and the Eagles had six victories when Kelly was fired.

Is Kelly now seeking the athletic quarterback he has largely been missing thus far in his NFL career? In 2012, Kelly's final season at Oregon, quarterback Marcus Mariota completed 68.5 percent of his passes while also rushing for 752 yards and scoring five touchdowns on the ground.

Kelly undoubtedly would love to have a quarterback, like Mariota, that can do both. But to this point, he's been clear on where his priority lies.

"I want a quarterback who has the ability to run and not a running back who can throw," Kelly said in 2013. "That's been the biggest misconception. If there's an opportunity to get a first down, get it. But in this league, you have to be able to throw the football."
