****Official NFL Scouting Combine 2009 Thread****

With the Combine starting today, I thought it would be nice to have a thread with all updates from the Combine all in one place. Any player discussion from Indianapolis is welcome here.

Running back

Nowhere on that list did I see strong side 4-3 linebacker with no ability to rush the passer.

Personally, I would replace RB with either a DT or a OL, one or the other, since I strongly feel that everything starts upfront one way or another.

I'd put a DT who can either collapse the pocket or shut down the run in there.

Running backs are a dime a dozen. Just toss them into the breach until they wear out, and go get another great athlete.

I rate DTS very high as well. A great one, makes EVERYBODY'S job easier.
