Colt Lyeria is looking like a freak. I'd love to see us snag a steal like him at tight end and straighten him out. Paul Richardson is looking pretty impressive as well. Really can't wait for the defensive backs.
I mean look at Hyde & Boykin on our own team. Both guys fell largely due to a lack of speed when tested.The scouting combine is one of my favorite events as a football fan.
Sammy Watkins looks to be the real deal throughout all the drills.
Jadaveon Clowney the "less than physical specimen"on the bench press.
Speed. Wow it's overrated here at the combine. One player has had a 1,000 yard receiving season who ran a sub 4.4 40 yard dash at the combine out of the last fifteen players who've done so. Certainly helps, but not the be all end all IMO.
Playing in a game is one thing.I watched about 10 min of receiving drills and I know exactly who is going to be the best rookie receiver in the NFL next year.
It's just totally obvious.
I'll let you know who it is in January of next year.

Yes, and we never think about injuries until they happen.? Yes, that was the point of my joke. Well, that and the fact that I get a kick out of all of the arm chair GMs. They're draft experts a year after the draft happens and we've seen the players a full season.
Alshon Jeffery's draft position was consistent with his sharp drop off in production in his junior year. It was also reported he'd ballooned to 240 lbs. coincident with that poor production. His 4.48 Combine was impressive for a man his size, and the 216 lb. weigh in may have assuaged some concerns. If anything, the Combine and Pro Day might have buoyed his prospects more than hurt them.oh the underwear olympics...
40 yrd time for a WR? meh. Give me the wr that is obsessed with his routes. Remember how the 40 time got alshon dropped later in the draft? production in games> underwear olympics

He ran 4.59 at his Pro Day.Ok let's go with boldin. 4.7 and won rookie of the year
He ran 4.59 at his Pro Day.
He ran 4.62 at his Pro Day, plenty fast for an ILB. There were some character issues from college and he was considered perhaps a little light for ILB. I don't think the Combine or Pro Day hurt him.Or bowman at linebacker

What part of "Pro Day" didn't you get? Nobody arbitrarily looks at one set of numbers to the exclusion of others. Well, almost nobody.And a 4.75 at the combine proving the idea of a 40 time being critical in what a WR can offer a team is ridiculous at best
Last time I checked, Pro Days occur before the draft. Combine and Pro Day are all of one piece.You keep quoting pro days when we are talking combine...
What part of "Pro Day" didn't you get? .
Look...you wanted to debate Combine numbers and draft position relative to eventual performance, as though measureables should not matter. Pro Days are essentially the Combine 2.0 with a heavy concentration on measureables like Combine 1.0. I don't know how that's not obvious.proabably the part where the thread says "what are you learning from the COMBINE" emphasis on the word COMBINE
