NFL Scouting Combine notes

[Dodub]

5' 8 3/4" 186 lbs

5'9" that is about where I thought he would be

 

[ChrisPozz]

Well, it looks like the official shuttle (20 and 60) and 3-cone drill for the DL aren't going to be posted until late tonight or early tomorrow.I was holding off on posting my LB lists so I could get it in the correct order for Ray but I'm just going to go ahead and post the rest of the LB numbers right now and then hopefully in the morning I can get the DL shuttle and 3-cone drill posted.

Rotoworld:

Arkansas RB Knile Davis' "Speed Score" of 124.5 is the second highest ever recorded by Football Outsiders based on player build and speed.

The "Speed Score" uses a mathematical formula in an attempt to measure speed given size. Speed Score has plenty of historical flaws, but has accurately predicted busts like Knowshon Moreno while forecasting Chris Johnson and Brandon Jacobs' success. The all-time leader in "Speed Score" is current Broncos RB Mario Fannin (125.5), who went undrafted out of Auburn and has done nothing in the NFL. Nevertheless, Davis has a special speed-size combination and will be a mid- to late-round pick to monitor in the 2013 preseason.

 

[Dodub]

I can't believe how unathletic Manti Te'o is.

 

[optimist4720]

As RB Knile Davis Shoots Up Draft Boards, Will the Falcons Be Interested? | Bleacher Report..... Watch the video highlights on link ...Wow..we need to draft this guy..great blend of speed, power, and cutback ability. Nice find Pozz

 

[NinerSickness]

5' 8 3/4" 186 lbs

Hmmm... People were talking about him like he was 5'6.

Either way, I wouldn't even think about drafting the guy before the 5th round.

I can't believe how unathletic Manti Te'o is.

I can. No surprise here. I hope the Cowboys draft him.

 

[NinerSickness]

Random note: I just took my first look at the DBs, and Eric Reid is 6'0 213 with 33 5/8 arms. He's been one of my favourite safety prospects this year. Assuming he doesn't run like a 4.9, I'd love to get him in the 2nd round to play SS (since it looks like Goldson isn't coming back). Whitner needs to be cut.

I'm also keeping a close eye on DJ Swearinger. He'd make a good SS too IMO.

 

[Dodub]

I don't see any way Mathieu is drafted before the 4th or 5th. He is undersized, not an overwhelming athlete, hasn't played in a year and has character issues.

 

[Tubbs1518]

I don't see any way Mathieu is drafted before the 4th or 5th. He is undersized, not an overwhelming athlete, hasn't played in a year and has character issues.

He will go in the 3rd IMO. Made too many plays when on the field. Will probably test out decently. Most expect him to run in the 4.4's.

Well, the DL shuttles and 3-cone numbers still haven't been posted for some reason so those will have to wait.

[ChrisPozz]

These DBs are trying to cheat their stance in order to get a faster time. First 4 have all had trouble and been whistled.

1st group of DBs are done running their unofficial 40s. On to their 2nd attempts.

Johnny Adams - 4.45 (not shown),

D.J. Hayden - DNR
Aaron Hester - 4.57 (1.59),
Micah Hyde - 4.47 (1.61),
Tony Jefferson - 4.65 (1.67), - On his 1st 40 attempt, he popped way up just inside 10 yards. Ugly.
Josh Johnson - 4.53 (1.59),
Keelan Johnson - 4.47 (1.59),
Robert Lester - 4.68 (not shown) On his 1st 40 attempt, he had a slight misstep just inside 10 yards.
Tyrann Mathieu - 4.43 (1.51),

Leon McFadden - 4.47 (1.53),
Brandon McGee - 4.41 (1.46),
Rontez Miles - 4.60 (not shown),
Dee Milliner - 4.31 (1.52), That may have looked like the slowest unofficial 4.3 I've ever seen.

 

[ChrisPozz]

Bucky Brooks said he's "twisted" over Milliner's time because it didn't look like 4.31 to him either. So there's that. Watch when it becomes official.

[ChrisPozz]

Brandon McGee is having a beautiful start to his day so far. Whew!

 

[ChrisPozz]

On the flip side of it, Johnthan Banks is having a poor day so far. He'll probably always look better in games than he does in these kinds of drills, but I could see alot of other people knocking him down after today if this keeps up.

 

[ChrisPozz]

DB drills at the combine are by far the most entertaining and valuable set for me to watch because DBs are so hard to dig into unless you have the "All 22" coach's tape in the NFL or some cut ups of the college guys. Unlike some other position drills at the combine, a good number of the ones they run at the combine for the DBs really translate well.

 

[ChrisPozz]

Tony Jefferson will get knocked by some for his 40s but he's looked better in the field workout early on.

 

[ChrisPozz]

T.J. McDonald - Stiff, stiff, and more stiffness in early drills. Shocking (sarcasm). Was asked to do his hip turn/ball skill drill over because he started out so poorly.
