Hokies at the NFL Combine

[wildturkey]

With LT's #s, I keep waiting for someone to say something like "he's more Jimmy Graham than he his Drew Brees" or some other cheesy line.

FWIW, I don't think the Combine factors in as much as its hyped. Tyrod was better overall at the Combine than every other QB in his class, including Cam Newton, yet he still went in the 6th round. Speaking of which, if I were a GM, I'd trade for Tyrod before I'd trade for Kirk Cousins.

How'd the other guys do or have they gone yet?

Defensive lineman and linebackers go tomorrow and defensive backs go on Tuesday.

Kyle Fuller one of the players being highlighted by NFL Network during each test.

Not that it is a surprise to any of us who watched the Pitt game but Aaron Donald's numbers are just crazy for his size and stature.

did not expect Fuller to beat Exum in every test. Doesn't sound like Exum is right yet. Hopefully shows better at VT's pro day.

Really? Fuller is a beast. Exum probably gets more of a pass from the fan base because he's got a great personality but his game does have flaws, ones that his injuries make worse. I'm rooting for him to find a spot in the league of course though.

I agree here. Fuller did about what I expected him to do. He'll probably be the 2nd-4th CB taken depending on what team wants a CB and when.

You read me all wrong. I'm not dissing Fuller at all. I thought he did very well, as expected. I was just saying I thought Exum would do much better. Of course his game has more flaws than Fuller's, which is largely to be expected with a lot less experience at corner and essentially completely missing last season. But he's a great athlete that should have showed well at the combine.

Exum will be fine. He could be a very good safety at the next level with his size. That is more his natural position anyways. Some people don't respond as well to knee surgery than others. I imagine he just needs a little more time .

LT3 reportedly met with the Ravens

The Ravens have said they want to acquire a quarterback with backup Tyrod Taylor entering the final year of his rookie deal. They have also met with Eastern Illinois quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo for a predraft visit.

Wonder where Tyrod will be headed if the Ravens dont keep him on board

I always thought he would do well to learn from Drew Brees.

 

[757Hokie83]

whereever he may end up, i hope he lands behind a QB with not much tread left on the tires

The case for Logan Thomas as NFL draft's most intriguing QB prospect – more pro-ready than Cam Newton in 2011

More pro ready than Cam? Ok, that's entering bullshit territory.

Not really. While Newton was more dynamic as a runner, he probably had more talent to work with at the skill positions. I think LT is probably a better passer at the same point in time.
