NFL Scouting Combine Update

So far the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis has given us some impressive workouts that have certainly helped some player's draft status. Then again, there have been some disappointing numbers that might have hurt others. We've listed some of the results in previous posts, but now that the wide receivers and running backs have finished, along with the tight ends, offensive linemen, quarterbacks and specialists, let's revisit some of the good and the bad from the first couple of days before the defensive prospects take over.

Let's start with the running backs: (after the 'Jump')

Star-divide

The good: California's Jahvid Best (4.35) and Clemson's C.J. Spiller (4.37) ran blistering 40 yard dashes.

The not-so-good: Ole Miss' Dexter McCluster, who looked real fast in his videos, finished real slow in his 40 yard dash time (4.58).

Keep an eye on: Auburn's Ben Tate, who ran a fast 40 (4.43), put up a RB best 26 reps of the 225 pound bench press, tied for the best broad jump (10'4") and finished second by a half inch in the vertical jump (40.5").

What about the all-important (from a Ravens fan's perspective) wide receivers efforts?

The good: Clemson's Jacoby Ford ran the fastest 40 yard dash at the Combine this year (4.28). Illinois' Arrelious Benn tied for  the most reps on the bench press (20).

The not-so-good: Texas' Jordan Shipley caught a ton of balls from QB Colt McCoy the past two seasons, but he finished last in the bench press (16 reps) amongst wide receivers.

Keep an eye on: Louisville's little-known Scott Long, who tied for the most bench press reps (20), came in first in the vertical jump, 3-cone drill, 60-yard shuttle and also finished at or near the top in the other categories.

With Bruce Campbell running a 4.85 forty yard dash, he just solidified himself as a Raider.

I love it,

two reaches, by the Raiders, for Maryland players back to back in the first round.

I hate it. These guys have elite talent but perrish in Oakland. That team didn’t even know how to use Randy Moss.

No worries,

In two years Ozzie we’ll trade a 5th round pick for DHB and he’ll develope into a decent WR

Just like Fabian Washington?

Raiders drafted him in the 1st round in 2005 and the Ravens trade a 4th for him last year?

Yeah, but he sucks

we needed him 2 years ago,

He and Frank Walker really helped us get to the AFC championship game, definitely worth the 4th rounder. I hope we sign him again for a one year deal.

Real surprised about Mccluster’s . He looks so much faster than every one on tape. Maybe he’s one of those guys that runs just as fast with pads on. He was in the SEC and was outrunning everybody. Also surprised he put up 20 reps for how small he is.

by AV23 on Mar 1, 2010 8:52 PM EST reply actions  

+1

He might also not have trained for the 40 because he thought he’d run something ridiculous naturally. I still love to take him in the 3rd round.

until you have to run the 40 from a stance without a ball and catch a ball after weaving helmetless through cones in the NFL the combine is stupid.
