NFL combine participants

[Prospector]

I am looking forward to the combine... looks like all the big names are planning on attending. This isn't really anything too newsworthy, just fun to look forward to.

[Low Positive]

Most of the top guys won't do the drills. They'll come, get interviewed, maybe bench and jump, and then leave. For instance, there is no way that Caleb Williams will actually throw. What I want to see is some of the WRs run.

Ah, the “measurable’s” Olympics and hype factory will be in full off season production…, 

[Logic]

I'm just glad that the 2023 season is over, so that we can all watch big and fast men run and jump in their underwear, and can resume passionately advocating for and against drafting players we've only seen a two minute YouTube highlight clip of.

Mike Sainristil, CB Michigan, is a player I would love to see the Bills draft.

His teammate Cornelius Johnson, WR has caught my eye as a possible 5th or later round pick.

Yeah I wouldn’t be surprised to see the combine completed done away with in the coming years, or altered drastically maybe with the top 100 projected players not attending or something.

I don’t know much about him but a few things I read is that he’s more of a Nickle DB. Idk. Maybe I read wrong. Either way, if that’s true I’m a hard pass. We have TJ

Johnson is not spectacular, but he gets the job done. Good height and hands. 

 

I just wonder if we already have him on the roster with Shorter.

I go the extra distance and watch some 8 minute highlight videos also

You're forgetting the impact of the music for each, as well.

 

No joke, if I am a top prospect I put my clips out with Weird Al, Joe Diffie, or polka.

Both Rattler and legette are  intriguing

A lot of the value for teams is from medical checks and interviews- valuable to teams even if some don’t do the drills.

You think Rattler is worth drafting?

Yeah for sure, the interviews are definitely valuable.

To some extent but with some of the sh-t they ask these guys, I’d hardly call that reason for a valuable assessment.

I’m going to want to interview someone before I hire them.. that seems reasonable.

I think a lot of teams know how good of a football player this dude is. He may not be a first rounder, but I bet he goes on day two.

I won’t disagree that any interview process has some benefits, it does, just that some of the stuff has absolutely no value that they ask. Every year there’s plenty of prospects stating that some teams ask some weird and way too inappropriate questions. 
 

Method to their madness, must be.

I don’t think that’s true. He switched over from wide receiver to cornerback and you can stick him outside or inside and he’s going to make plays. He’s just a really smart really good football player and I would love him on the bills as well. Even though it’s not a need.
