31 - Eric Wood, OG/C
33 - Vontae Davis, CB
34 - Larry English, DE/OLB
35 - James Casey, TE
35 - Matt Stafford, QB

I'm not sure what to make of these scores. James Casey is supposed to be smart, and he tested well, but so did Matt Stafford who isn't known to be particularly cerebral, and so did Vontae Davis, who is known for mental lapses. A lot of well known players tested poorly, including many known for savvy play on the field.

What are Maclin and Robiskie doing, trying to destroy the wide receiver stereotype?

And with the 23rd pick in the draft, the Patriots select ... James Casey, TE.

I thought Wonderlic scores were supposed to be confidential, after the negative publicity that Vince Young received a couple years ago. If that is correct, given the timing of the release of these scores, I can't help but wonder what the motive is of whomever leaked this information. The teams already have all the info; the only opinions that are going to be changed are that of the fans and media.

A score of 5 is all that's needed to know the motive.

I know most dont share my opinion but I'm still holding out hope for Michael Johnson, and a 27 certainly doesn't hurt him.

*Thinks to Self* THANK GOD HE BEAT BARWIN AT SOMETHING!!!! :banned:

I don't know the answer to that. I was surprised to see them posted on PFW. I thought of not posting them on this board, but decided that since the information was out it should be made available. I make no judgments about any of it, as I view the whole exercise as rather questionable.

I've taken a sample of the Wonderlic, and just like any other test it's artificial and highly trainable. Someone who is quite bright but didn't prepare for it might do poorly, and it favors people who handle written tests well.

Calling the Wonderlic a "test" is certainly euphemistic (if you know what that means, you'll probably score >45 on the test).

It seems to me to be more about life survival skills than intelligence (interpret that however you may).

AHA!
