Nfl Combine Discussion Thread
- Thread starter FSU Truth
- Start date
Some things I'm watching:
Outside of Devin White, who we expect to test great, which LB's (who have solid tape) will run in the low 4.6's or better? Or, for Miami, which big LB's will run in the low 4.7's or 4.6's?
The CB group is very tight. Which players will separate themselves from the pack? And, which will drop?
Can burns show up at a defent weight and test like a high-end athlete? Are Josh Allen and Jachai Polite as athletic as advertised/as they appear? Can guys like Zach Allen and Anthony Nelson show enough juice to warrant Day-2 consideration? Which guys will surprise? Few expected Frank Clark to put on a show, but four years later, he's going to be a very rich man. How are Porter Gustin's medicals? Is Rashan Gary a freak athlete or just a good athlete?
We expect Fant, though not as good as his teammate, to kill it. Will one of the other TE's join or exceed him?
Which WR's break 4.4? Slimm mentioned Metcalf, who probably has the highest ceiling in the class, but E. Hall and A. Isabella have some outstanding attributes, and blazing times would open up their projections.
Which of the high-end OL will show the necessary agility?

40 is cool for the WR's but I would be more interested in who has the best 3 cone shuttle.
None of the tests are particularly important for WR's. Really, you're just looking for a WR to show that he isn't a complete slug and to do well in one of any of categories (speed, burst, agility). But, the 40 is a good indicator of who can take the top off the defensive. It's a specific role and doesn't equate to overall success, but it's valuable in of itself. Production and tape are more important, but when you combine them with high-end speed, you have a WR that demands attention and opens things up for everyone else. Hill, Cooks, and Fuller are good examples.
Brian Ballinger posted on Twitter yesterday Hockenson pancaking a defensive end. If I had to bet on which prospect would be a future hall of famer I’d bet on Hockenson.

I love this time of year.
The smell of FA and the draft is in full effect.

If you want to follow the measurements ^
Was that DE Charles Harris? If it was it doesn't count.
We shall see
