What Player Would you Take Based on These Combine Numbers?

[Tim Anderson's Lunch Pail]

Yes.

 

Prospect C is West Virginia DE/OLB Bruce Irvin. He's generally projected as a 2nd or 3rd rounder. I consider him to be an elite player. I could be wrong.

 

Prospect D is Von Miller, last year's 2nd overall pick from Texas A&M.

 

Irvin was intriguing to me, but his suspect maturity was confirmed (for me, at least) with his recent arrest. I think he's a better fit as a 3-4 OLB, anyway.

At this point, he might be the safest pick at 10. The other 2 I'd consider for safest are Floyd and Kirkpatrick. One love booze, the other love bud. Neither of which bother me too much.

I wouldn't take anybody based on their gym shorts numbers. You need to watch the game tape, and not just the good games they played!

I think I understand the point of this post. The idea was that Kuechly had all sorts of production as a college player, yet

he was being a bit downgraded because many scouts/media didn't think he was a superior athlete. I believe that the

original poster was using the combine numbers to suggest that Kuechly is an outstanding athlete who also has outstanding

production.

 

I am warming up to Kuechly as possibly being the best player available when the Bills selection comes along. I am not

worried about over-drafting Kuechly because LB (esp MLB) is downgraded in value. Top LBs, even those who are not

primarily pass rushers, can have a significant impact on the game. LB isn't the same as the very de-valued FB position.

I also believe that Kuechly can be an effective cover LB given his production in college and his better-than-expected

athletic ability.

I would not hate this pick. I do think he will be a vey good pro. I could also live with Dontari Poe here or Floyd/Hill. I do think they will need an OT if Bell moves on. I really would like to trade down too.
