Pioli already knows who he's going to draft.

Those guys who think the combine doesn't matter at all are reeruned. It matters to DB's more than anything but it's also how guys with equal grades separate.

He probably has as an idea. The Sr. Bowl and game film are way more important then the combine.

Yea the senior bowl is how Ryan Sims turned into a top 10 pick, I really wish people wouldn't jizz about the performances down there.

But you do agree it's more important then the combine right?

I believe it had to do more with Dick Vermeil taking everything John Bunting said about Sims as gospel.

It still sickens me to think we could have stood still and got Henderson. I was worried about Haynesworth and thought he benefited more from Henderson's presence at UT and admittedly didn't want him, but I did want Big John.

No, they're not.

They're all factors in the decision but the Combines help to level the playing field due to the differences in talent across the country.

Also, the personal interviews reveal far more about an individual's character and motivation than game film. Do you seriously think it's wise to invest millions (if not tens of millions) without spending time to do complete an in-depth interview with these players?

It's extremely important to gauge their strength and speed, which is something that can't be garnered by game film.

You win. How guys played football is less important then running in shorts. I'm from Mars and Draftubators are from Venus. I give up.

What the **** are you talking about?

I stated that they are ALL factors.

No, Pioli has made statements that indicate that the combine is just a show.

I think he said he likes the interviews and that they're important.

He's said that game film and scouting are more important. Don't have the link.

Which shouldn't be a surprise.

And there is no doubt what I guy does with the pads on in a game is what really matters. This should be obvious.

He also said he loved scouting and showed that by signing 1 cut who was from his former team.

How does a GM thinking that game film is the most important thing equal Pioli already knowing who he will draft? Big leap there.
