NFL Draft Stock Down for Rueben Bain and Akheem Mesidor? // Takeaways from Miami and LSU Pro Days

·35 min·2 clips

Reuben Bain didn’t remeasure his arms, didn’t run, and only weighed in at Miami’s Pro Day.

Matt Williamson and Brian Peacock spend the episode on draft stock coming out of Miami and LSU pro days. The main question is which prospects helped themselves and which ones did not. They do not treat the workouts as clean answers. Instead, they treat them like arguments. One Miami prospect's testing becomes the centerpiece. The hosts point to a 5.08 forty for a very large player and use it to show how relative those numbers can be. They revisit the combine measurements and the way size changes the meaning of a time. Arm length, hand size, weight changes, and broad-jump chatter all come into the discussion. Another defensive back prospect draws similar scrutiny. Early reports and later reports disagree on his forty, and the hosts spend time on why that happens. Their point is not that the numbers are fake. Their point is that the numbers need context. Pro days, they argue, can be used to push a better narrative, and those numbers can outlive the original stopwatch reading. That skepticism drives most of the conversation. The hosts keep pulling the talk back to what actually matters in the draft. Who helped themselves, who only looked better on paper, and who made a real case on the field. Miami gets the most airtime, but LSU stays part of the broader workout sweep. The pacing stays brisk and conversational. The episode moves from one prospect note to the next without pausing to dress anything up. It leaves you with a clear read on why a good pro day can help and why a loud one should still be handled carefully.
