2015 NFL Combine Thread

[Rey]

Looking forward to seeing the QB's throw. Glad the top guys (Mariotta, Winston and Hundley) decided to work out unlike past years' top QB's. Also looking forward to the Backs and Receivers ... tons of good Backs this year, I'd love to find a way to snag Jay Ajayi from Boise State somehow; he's become my favorite non-first Rd Back. Also interested to see what some of my fav receivers run ... like Tyler Lockett and Wing's boy Phillip Dorsett whom I've also become a fan of.

It's a big combine for WR Jaelen Strong. If he runs a 4.5 or better he is probably a first round pick. If he runs a 4.6, maybe a third round pick.

Amari Cooper with a 4.42 and a 4.43. I think this kid will be a flat out stud at the next level.

Hundley showed well ... 4.63 40 checks the box and he looked smooth on his drop backs (which is one of his question marks according to Kurt Warner). The arm is certainly there ... very good gun. Brandon Bridge showed a very good gun as well, but he looked awkward dropping back, he needs help in that area. Shane Carden whom some have as early as round 4 looked to me like he doesn't have a pro arm, I wouldn't touch him with a 10 foot pole. Bryan Bennett ran slower than I thought he'd run ... nice arm, but throws were a bit inconsistent. Cody Fajardo is a guy I'm going to go pull some film on. The next group with Winston and Mariotta getting ready to start soon.

Really like Ameer Abdullah and Jay Ajayi. Duke Johnson, TJ Yeldon and David Cobb are some others I like.

Love Devin Smith and his upside. I'm curious to see what Tyler Lockett runs.

 

[Iggloo]

Jaelen Strong 42-inch vertical.

 

[Birds4life81]

Marcus Mariota runs a 4.52 on his 1st attempt

 

[Birds4life81]

Jaelen Strong 42-inch vertical.

That's beastly

 

[Birds4life81]

4.56 2nd attempt for Mariota

 

[Iggloo]

Strong did measure 6-2 and 217, smaller than expected, but that is in no way small.

 

[Rey]

Jameis looking below average on the measurable side so far ... below average broad and vert, then barely gets below 5.00 on both 40's. And that despite being as slim as he'll likely ever be. The dude can sling it though ... just expected a bit better athleticism. Mariotta on the other hand checked off all the athletic boxes as expected.

 

[Birds4life81]

Tyler Lockett is up and ran a 4.40 flat on his 1st attempt. That's good -- on tape he looked like mid 4.4's

 

[Rey]

Lockett just ran a 4.4 flat ... that's pretty damn good for someone who's thought of quicker than fast.

 

[Iggloo]

Yup.

 

[Birds4life81]

I know nothing about this Chris Conley kid. But check out his numbers

WR:
6'2 213lbs
9 7/8 hands
11'7 broad jump
45 inch vertical
4.35 40 yard dash with a 1.53 10 yard split

I'll be checking some tape on him soon. Have to see if he's a football guy or just all measurables

 

[Birds4life81]

Lockett just ran a 4.4 flat ... that's pretty damn good for someone who's thought of quicker than fast.

Yeah, on tape he looks explosive in his lateral movement - very quick twitch player. While he looks fast, he doesn't seem to have that elite top end speed. 4.40 is good for him, the official time will also be interesting. From tape I would've guessed 4.45-4.47. In the end this doesn't change too much for me

 

[Birds4life81]

I expect more from Ty Montgomery who ran a 4.58. Your technique in the 40 yard dash is key, so have to take some of these numbers with a grain of salt.

 

[Birds4life81]

JJ Nelson with the first sub 4.3. Ran a 4.29 1st attempt

 

[Birds4life81]

DeVante Parker with a 4.45 which is outstanding for a guy his size. Cooper/White/Parker are all very outstanding prospects at the top of the draft. Any one of these guys could end up being the best WR in this class IMO

 

[Rey]

Devonte Parker at 4.45 is really nice at his size. Cooper, Parker and White make an excellent top 3 at receiver.
