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.

In the pull/trap drill he leaned too far forward when he went to hit the pad and almost fell on his face.

In the backpedal drill, he was the only guy who turned the wrong way when the coach pointed the football to a given side.

Hopefully he'll fall to our second round pick

He isnt a right tackle type, so it wouldnt be good for us.

He would most likely be BPA, and IMO worth that pick for sure. He would give our line a lot more options and would really help solidify it.

Yeah.

He looked totally unprepared.

I didn't like Jake Long last year, and while he did nothing in the combines to change my opinion of his athletic ability, the way that he showed that he worked hard to nail these drills before he went to the combines impressed me.

The difference between Long last year and Oher this year really speaks to their work ethic.

Oher has more natural talent, but his work ethic, or lack thereof, scares me.

He cant play guard and he isnt a right tackle, so how would that make our line better other than depth behind Albert?

Well, Albert could easily move to one of those other positions. And yes, I know about the value of drafting him in the first round, etc, but if it makes the team better, sometimes you do unconventional things.

Although, it should not be considered an option, because Albert have done a damned good job as a LT, despite missing out the whole training camp.

He will get better eventually. The Chiefs already have the 2nd most important position filled (LT) and it should be left alone at all costs. The Chiefs now need to get the most important position filled, and that's the QB.

You might have missed that we were talking about the SECOND round. I am assuming if we are taking a QB, we are taking him at number 3.

Yeah.

It was crazy to watch how quickly he could flip his hips to change direction on the down-the-line drill. He looked like a damned slot receiver doing it.

I just don't know if he's got it upstairs. I don't know if it's focus, dumbassery, a combination, or just general laziness, but he really scares me as a prospect.

With that being said, I don't think there's any way he'd drop past 25.

I fully believe the Chargers will look at an OT,RB or a guy like Mauluga with their first pick so even if Smith and Oher are looking like complete dumbasses there's a chance that's their landing spot.

Ah, I did miss that. I thought you were referring to the 1st pick.

Still, the 2nd round picks is very much important as a first round pick.

Hypothetical question. Let's assume that Stafford and Sanchez are off the board, what is the probability that the Chiefs may get B.J. Raji, if he's projected as a top 5 pick?
