BTW I have some more information on Brandon Graham's Pro Day. What we already know is that the Jaguars and Falcons were two of at least 20 teams that were there, with the Jags sending their DL coach in addition to a scout. We also knew that he stood on his 4.71 time in the 40 from the Combine on the slow Lucas Oil turf, where he also did a superb 31 bench reps after measuring 6013 and 268 lbs with 32.5" arms. We had already heard that at his Pro Day he did DL and LB drills, and then just to show off how well he moves, he participated in DB drills as well.
What we didn't have were agility and explosion numbers but I just got those. His jump numbers were not that great at only 31.5" vertical and 9'3" broad jump. However, he nailed his agility drills with a 4.25 shuttle and 7.01 cone drill. Those numbers are well within ideal linebacker range and at 268 lbs that's pretty damned impressive. Better than Everson Griffen. Way better than Sergio Kindle. On par with Jason Worilds and not quite as good as Jerry Hughes, both of whom were more like 255 lbs (with a gallon of water in them, no doubt).
Overall I don't see knocking him out of contention for LB because he's one inch too short. Nor do I see knocking him out of contention for LB because you don't think he moves well enough. Those are just bad arguments.
