    40 years ago - July 23, 1979 - I walked into NFL Films for the first time as an employee. I'm just glad after 4 decades my card still gets me in the door and my password still logs me in to my computer. Grateful that I had a hand in pioneering X and O football on television.

    Now that Kyler Murray has decided to focus on football, here's my evaluation based on an 8 game study. Murray is a fascinating prospect, one of my most fun to study. Please feel free to respond. I love these kinds of discussions.

    When the 49ers traded up in the first round, I immediately thought it might be for Brandon Aiyuk. He fits their pass game and overall offensive scheme very well with his multi-dimensional deployment and explosive traits. Here's my evaluation of Aiyuk.

    This is a great day for all of us at NFL Films. Steve Sabol is in the Hall of Fame. I know it's a special day for me. Steve was my mentor and my friend. In so many ways, he was responsible for my career path. I couldn't be happier for Steve. I only wish he was here to see it.

    I'm starting today to share my full evaluations of some players in the draft. For me the fun is the process of evaluating. I'm not a big mock draft or list guy. I'm a grinder watching tape and really enjoying it. I hope this will generate some good conversation.

    People who know me know I do not tweet very often. But some have been tweeting that Howard Cosell was my father. Howard was my uncle, my dadโ€™s brother. Just wanted to set the record straight. Stay safe everyone.

    Back at it today. Let's look at the 2 Alabama receivers - Jerry Jeudy and Henry Ruggs. For those who have listened to me the last month on radio shows and podcasts, you know how I feel about Jeudy.

    Watching tape this morning in my office at NFL Films. It's just the right thing to do to listen to AC/DC. Don't need reason, don't need rhyme, ain't nothing I would rather do.

    Today's evaluation is Lamar Jackson. A lot there, and a lot of factors and variables as you transition him to the NFL. Smart reasonable people will have different points of view re: Jackson. There's no question he will generate much discussion in NFL organizations.

    With draft week upon us, let's take a detailed look at Joe Burrow and Tua Tagovailoa. This is all based on extensive film study. Tua's injuries did not factor at all in my evaluation.

    Based on my evaluations of the prospects, I felt the Bears first 4 selections in the draft were strong. The more I watched Anthony Miller the more I liked him. Chicago now has more than enough weapons to execute Matt Nagy's expansive and diverse offensive approach.

    It's that time of year with the draft 5 weeks away. I've been locked in my office watching college tape . I love everything I've seen on Twitter from a lot of different people. At this point I've seen about 150 players. Let's start with 2 receivers - AJ Brown / N'Keal Harry.

    My breakdowns continue with Josh Rosen. I've attached my evaluation of Rosen from last summer when I watched all of his 2016 games, and my evaluation from 2017 tape. I did not look back at my 2016 notes one time until I was finished with 2017. It struck me how similar they were.

    Here's my complete evaluation of Mitch Trubisky. Always remember the objective is to project and transition to the NFL. I welcome comments.
