Here at The Roto Street Journal, we love coach speak — sometimes to a fault. But nothing gets us going more than hearing how good a player looks and how a player will be used. Hey, it’s why we were higher on Todd Gurley than most, along with many, many more. So with most coaches, GMs and player personnel guys talking at this week’s NFL Combine, it’s basically The Wolf’s wet dream. Follow us on Twitter for our ongoing thread of the #RSJStockWatch, something that will be updated throughout each week of the offseason.
Here’s a schedule of when you can expect each representative to talk:
And here are some of the highlights to get your engine revving:
Gaine says he’s “optimisitic” that Deshaun Watson will be able to work in some capacity for OTAs #Texans

#Cardinals HC Steve Wilks says that his team will be rooted in establishing the run game. Said they have the best running back in the NFL (David Johnson).
— Trevor Sikkema (@TampaBayTre) February 28, 2018
#Cardinals HC Steve Wilks said his team is going to be “aggressive” in getting a quarterback. Said when FA begins, they’re going to go after the best one. If they miss, they’ll stay aggressive in the draft – mentions perhaps trading up.

Just asked Doug Marrone about Dede Westbrook and he spent 90 seconds basically talking about Keelan Cole. 👀🤷♂️
— RosterWatch (@RosterWatch) February 28, 2018
Doug Marrone essentially just said, it’s going to be the Michael Jordan / Zeke Elliott rule w/ Fournette, he’s the guy on 3rd down. Ship has sailed on TJ Yeldon. #Jaguars #NFLCombine
— RosterWatch (@RosterWatch) February 28, 2018
#Rams HC Sean McVay spoke highly of WR Josh Reynolds, so I am now his disciple.

#Giants HC Pat Shurmur: "We believe that Eli Manning has got years left as a starting quarterback in this league."

— Roto Street Journal (@RotoStJournal) February 28, 2018
Adam Gase told us he doesn’t think Kenyan Drake needs to be spelled and have volume brought down. Said they don’t ever want a guy getting 25 carries a game but is comfortable w/ Drake’s late-2017 volume as he doesn’t have much wear and tear at this point in his career.
— RosterWatch (@RosterWatch) February 28, 2018
On the other hand, Jakeem Grant is a player that Adam Gase very clearly likes a lot #Dolphins #NFLCombine
