NFL Scouting Combine notes

[Tubbs1518]

Fast, can change directions in mid air, has a concussion history, dates Kardashians, and celebrates touchdowns before breaking the end zone plane?

DeSean Jackson/Reggie Bush hybrid without all the bad things.

Lotulelei has had heart condition found at combine.

 

[Smalls]

Left ventricle isn't pumping well, according to Mort. 44% ejection fraction, where normal is typically 55-70%. My understanding of heart function is that "low" is considered below 40%, but for a big, professional athlete...

Obviously it's scary, but we need more info before anyone jumps to conclusions.

I hope that makes him fall to 31:rollseyes:

La Canfora:

Tollner [Star's agent] also noted that Lotulelei will participate in every test at his pro day on March 20

Lol this one made me literally laugh at loud.

I was actually looking for a place to bring up the whole "changes directions in mid air" comment. Who said that btw, was that Cazic?

Exactly. Patterson should be a 2nd round pick now.

Hunter probably made his way into the 1st with his performance. There goes my hope of landing him in the 2nd.

By the way, your boy Dobson didn't run; that's probably good for the Niners if they're targeting him.

Justin Hunter in the 2nd was an outlandish scenario from the get go. I was exaggerating top-10 earlier, but he's easily top-15/20.

Dobson measured in really well. 6-3 210 33" arms I believe. He'll run in the 4.4s at his pro day.

 

[clyde_carbon]

No one ever said he was a better athlete. Everyone said he was a better football player. Hunter had a track scholarship too. So he was supposed to do that. He was pegged to be one of the people that was going to blow the combine up.

Patterson isn't a better WR than Hunter. Sorry. Hunter has more natural hands (despite the dropsies this year), is a better route runner, better ball skills, more polished, and is just as good of an athlete if not better.

BTW - I'm not underselling Patterson at all. He's a freakish talent. He's just not as good of a WR prospect as Hunter.

Tank Carradine w/ 28 rep's is impressive considering how long his arms are.

Hunt w/ 38 rep's? Wow.

30 for John Jenkins is ok w/ his long arms, but I would've liked to have seen at least a couple more for a guy his size. Same with Jesse Williams (30) with short arms, but moreso w/ Jenkins.

What's up w/ Demontre Moore putting up 12 rep's??? And 14 for Devin Taylor?

Sheldon Richardson w/ 30 is great w/ his long arms. He & Hankins are neck & neck in terms of value IMO, and that helps Richarsdson.

Jenkins and Moore

Jenkins and Moore

Why does Jenkins get the facepalm?

Why does Jenkins get the facepalm?

it isn't EVEN 2/3 his weight

 

[clyde_carbon]

Oh my gosh Jarvis Jones would be the ultimate home run swing. Imagine he & Aldon t LB going after a QB. It wouldn't even be fair.

There's always the risk that he just takes his signing bounus & calls it a career (mentally) for his own sake. But if not for the spinal issue, he's by far the best player in the entire draft.

I'd love to add he, Moore, or Mingo opposite Aldon, but it wouldn't be a priority. I'd rather take Sheldon Richardson, or a WR like Hopkins or Austin, or even a CB like Jordan Poyer.

 

[clyde_carbon]

And why is that? Because I say Patterson plays like Julio Jones.....which is true.

I can see that. Julio Jones is/was a much more natural pass catcher, though.

 

[LeaderOCola]

patterson might have the highest actual top end gear . he was terrible off the blocks in the 40 but his full stride over the last 15-20 yards looked insane. a 100 yard dash with him vs top NFL talent might end up a wipeout.

 

[NinerSickness]

You'd take Hopkins or Austin over Jarvis Jones??? Or you'd rather stay put & take one of them over tarding up?

What if he fell to the 20's?

 

[LeaderOCola]

I guess my point is that it would be the equivalent of not being able to bench 100# more than 30 times .

I thought we were talking about trading up. If everybody fell I'd take Moore over anyone. Then probably Richardson, then Hopkins, then probably Jones.

 

[clyde_carbon]

I'm 175 lbs. and I can put up 225 11 times. These big boys better at least triple that with the amount of working out they do.

Well Moore isn't falling out of the top 10 (he's probably a top 5 pick). I don't even bother thinking about getting him or Anzah (although Star Lotulelei's heart issue could be something, but probably not; he's not even ahead of Hankins in my mind though).

I think Hopkins over Jones is insane, but I agree w/ Richardson over him if they're both on the board.
