Jason Spriggs & Jack Conklin light up the combine...

[Wings]

2 guys I have been very interested in for awhile now.

OT Jason Spriggs, Indiana: It was predicted that Spriggs would be the top tester on the offensive line and he did not disappoint. After completing 31 reps on the bench he was fastest in the 40-yard dash timing in the low 4.9s, including a 10-yard split of 1.75 seconds. He jumped the farthest in the broad (9-5) and turned in one of the fastest short-shuttle times (4.44 seconds) of the day. During the drills Spriggs looked athletic, natural and enthusiastic. He’s cemented himself as a first-round pick.

Jason Spriggs, offensive tackle, Indiana: The Hoosiers' standout is squarely in the first-round conversation after displaying exceptional speed and athleticism on the turf. Spriggs clocked the best 40 time among offensive linemen (4.94) and flashed ballerina-like quickness during drills. He easily executed turns and transitions during positional drills. Most importantly, he showed good balance and body control shuffling laterally on the kick-and-slide and mirror drills. Given the number of teams in need of a pure left tackle, Spriggs' performance certainly could make him a Day 1 selection in April.

Been a huge fan of his for awhile now....Clearly gonna shoot up draft boards just as i predicted months ago. HE would look real good in Eagle green.

Jack Conklin, offensive tackle, Michigan State: The former walk-on surprised scouts with his athleticism, balance and body control. He showcased exceptional agility and movement skills in bag drills, while also displaying light feet and swivel hips in change-of-direction drills. With Conklin also posting a 5.00-second time in the 40-yard dash and showing short-area explosiveness in the agility drills, Friday was a fine day for the Michigan State product.

If we go O-line in rd 1, I would love to have either one of these guys. Spriggs has huge huge upside.

I would be happy with either and we are in a good spot to get one of them. I like Conklin because he has some nastiness to him.

 

[WIZ]

I like Conklin on the right side but I don't see it in pads. With that athleticism they should be able to coach him up to a stud RT.

 

[Wings]

I like both of them, but Spriggs can play LT which makes him even more valuable IMO.

 

[Rey]

I like both tackles and I agree with Wings about Spriggs ... I see him ending up in Rd 1.

I continue to really like QB Brandon Allen ... hand size be damned that kid has some zip; very smooth footwork on all his drops as well as opposed to Jacoby Brissett who drops back slow with choppy footwork.

 

[Rey]

A little shocked that J Goff ran a faster 40 than Pax Lynch ...

 

[WIZ]

Goff is a stud.

 

[Iggloo]

Both of these OTs are going to go top 20.

 

[broncosmitty]

Conklin will be the FIRST OLineman drafted that was recruited by MD at MSU.

Kinda crazy.

 

[old duke]

I prefer Conklin a little because he could start at RG for a year until Lane moves over to LT. And, I too love his nastiness, ala runyan.
That said, I still want to add at least 1 OL in FA, and that allows us to get Jack (if avail) or Ragland in the 1st.

 

[Rey]

Man' ... Wentz looks really good! Pretty sure Cleveland will go that route at 2.

 

[WIZ]

Goff at 13 and Garnett in the third. Man that would be sweet.

 

[Iron Eagle]

...if we actually want a qb in the first, they have to figure out a way to stay in front of the Rams.

 

[Wings]

Wentz and Goff will both be long gone by 13 so you guys better come up with plan B.

 

[old duke]

Well, my plan B is sign SB, draft the best available defender, or trade back and draft the best OL, getting a 2nd round pick, and take the BPA in each round. QB in the 3rd or 4th.

 

[WIZ]

I'm not so sure these guys go early. They're not even that great and many GM's are putting their job on the line drafting one. I'm pretty sure the Rams will go D and think they can win with a RGIII or Kaep. Jerry Jones isn't one to take a QB early either. If two or three QB's go by 13 there will be a pretty good player at 13 for us.

 

[old duke]

I didn't hear much about Lynch from Mayock just a minute ago. Sounds like Wentz may be the 1st QB taken,so Goff may fall quite a bit due to his size, strength, verticle, etc. Interesting. Bet Cleveland takes Wentz.

 

[Rey]

I'm not holding my breath about Goff being there at 13 with San Fran sitting there at 7. Kap's likely gone and Blaine Gabbs looks more like a backup type. Lynch will likely be there if Pederson likes him enough.

 

[DaEagles]

One of the teams in need of QB will probably go hard after Bradford, which should make the QB's slide a little further.

 

[Rey]

One of the teams in need of QB will probably go hard after Bradford, which should make the QB's slide a little further.

I think that will be the Texans, but they pick at 22, so it wouldn't impact us. Best case scenario for us (unless Bradford re-signs here) would be that SF trades Kap to Cleveland and Chip signs Bradford in SF. That would really throw a wrench into the QB mix.
