I like him if we can get him in the 4th or 5th rounds. I think he looks even slower in games 5th rd would be about right Edited March 5, 2018 by YoloinOhio

CountDorkula Posted March 5, 2018 Posted March 5, 2018 Another year of the NFL Combine being the most overrated money grab the NFL has ever created. Kudos, to you NFL, kudos to you.

I think it's incredibly sad that such an entertaining sport can't figure out an entertaining all-star feature.

thebandit27 Posted March 5, 2018 Author Posted March 5, 2018 Back to actual combine stuff... Jaire Alexander looking really good.

He's a Cover 2 corner who will excel in a scheme that uses a lot of zone which allows him to keep his eyes in the backfield. I don't put much stock in any of the combine. I think it's a good way to test athleticism, and can be particularly effective in projecting the success of pass rushers, but the drills are pretty much useless in my eyes. For example, Harold Landry is almost certainly going to make an elite 3-4 outside linebacker. His test scores are outstanding, and in 2-3 years I'll bet he's posting 10+ sacks.

K D Posted March 5, 2018 Posted March 5, 2018 Did anyone see during the d-back workout that they quoted coach McD as saying he looks for safeties that have played baseball and Poyer and Hyde both played baseball at a high level and it helps them track the ball. Interesting but not sure why he is giving away his secrets!

Who pays for the players to get to combine? Is lucas oil stadium free and are the staff working for free too? Who is paying for the insurance? I didn't see many sponsors anywhere. How many more people watch the network than a normal 5 day span?

He's the same type of athlete as JJ Watt. If we can get him at the end of round 1 I think we'd be getting a steal who could be a real difference maker in a year or two.
