Post your observations of the combine here. I know some things I'll be looking at: Mount Cody's weight, 40 times of players we've been talking about in the various threads, or the number of times Tebow's name gets mentioned. Post your observations here.

He's a hell of a lot faster than kickers.

Small player is going to die in the NFL...never heard that one before.

I saw every K-State game he played in and he never got rocked one time. If he was going to get killed in the NFL, it would have happened in college too with a guy as small as he is. It's not like the Big 12 doesn't have big mother****ers who can hit.

He's tough, durable, and lighting fast. He'll be fine.

He will probably be a 6th or 7th round pick though, and will be strictly a return man. But you can't argue that he doesn't have value as a return guy.

While were on the topic of size. Did anyone notice how long Clifton Geathers arms where? Nearly 38"! With his size he could be a solid 5-tech, but due to his bad history with the law he is going to fall a lot.

Mecca · 03-01-2010, 01:53 AM

He should have gone back to school but yea he's basically the prototype 3-4 end, he actually has enough talent to get a pass rush so he's more than just an eat blocks guy.

I never said he would go early. Unlike Holliday from LSU, he's actually a legit position player at WR and more than just a return guy, imo. He knows a pro style system, had good production, has good hands, and he's awesome after the catch.

I think he could go in the 5th, but he's obviously going to get knocked because of his size.

4) How to read a defense and go through progressions
5) How to not tuck it and run once his first option is covered.

Items 1, 2 and 4 are legit concerns for Bradford and McCoy as well. Both of them also have injury/durability issues.

I'm just not that impressed with Gilyard. I think he's good, but he's small and doesn't have room to bulk and his 40 time is unimpressive. Benn was a huge prospect but I think his hands are questionable. I really like Jacoby Ford.

Sucks. Would have been great to nab Tate in the 2nd.

Lets wait and see how John Brantley performs this year. He's a definite NFL style QB with a live arm and great accuracy. It'll be interesting to see how much (hopefully a lot) they change the offense towards his strengths.

My brother-in-law trained this guy at one of the combine camps in L.A. He told me the guy is a thug and went home because he thought his girlfriend was cheating on him. Was running sub 4.4 before he left(dumbass)

'Hamas' Jenkins · 03-01-2010, 01:15 PM

Spoon just ran a 4.57.

**BossChief** · 03-01-2010, 01:25 PM

Rolando must have had a couple practice runs and didnt want to risk his draft position by running a slower time than some might expect.

I dont buy that he has a hurt hammy one bit.

He'll be running a 39 yard 40, downhill, with the wind to his back on his proday.

McClain is another in a long line of chickenshits pulling out with a fake injury.
