[QUOTE="porky88, post: 136678, member: 489"] What round did Boldin go in? Round 2. He was the 54th pick in the NFL Draft. The 40 doesn't decide on whether the player will be good or not. Nobody says that. Heck the Draft doesn't decide that. However the 40 does play a big role in where you end up going in the Draft especially for a WR. Boldin ran a 4.7 and went in round 2 and that alone proves my point. To say the 40 won't effect Jarrett's draft stock at all is just wrong. I personally think Jarrett is going to be a good player and probably a Draft Day Steal. I believe he's the 3rd best WR in the Draft and still a 1st round pick. Draft status or draft stock has nothing to do on whether Jarrett will be a good player in the NFL. It tells you where the player rates as a prospect and a 4.7 40 (if it holds up to be true at his proday) will drop him in the Draft. He could go from a potential top 20 pick to a teams like Green Bay, San Francisco, or Carolina to a late 1st round pick to Kansas City, New York Jets, or Philadelphia. That’d cost him a lot of money as well so I hardly think he’s not trying when he runs like you had suggested earlier. Believe me I know every little detail when it comes to scouting a prospect. Jarrett is far from the perfect prospect. He‘s a slow player. He has great hands and goes up and gets the ball at it‘s highest peak but he has poor agility and isn’t that physical of a guy. If you press him and get in his face he has trouble getting off the ball. I’m not saying the 40 is the only thing to use when evaluating talent but it does help separate prospects from one another. Example: Brian Caulhon, Joseph Addai and Maurice Jones-Drew were on a very similar level heading into the combine last year. Jones-Drew and Addai ran great at the combine and Caulhon did not. One could argue that they all were very similar in every other drill except the speed drills. The result. Addai went in round 1. Jones-Drew in round 2 and Caulhon in round 3. After Calvin Johnson all of the receivers are fighting for that #2 spot. Jarrett is probably the most well known name but he hasn’t done anything since he declared to enter the NFL Draft.

All that has happen while Jarrett has reportedly ran a 4.7 40 in prior workouts. That’s going to hurt his draft stock. For the record Devin Hester ran in the 4.4’s. That’s hardly slow.
