Big Day today:

Oklahoma - ILB Curtis Lofton, DB Reggie Smith, WR Malcolm Kelly,
California - RB Justin Forsett, WR Lavelle Hawkins, TE Craig Stevens
Kansas - OT Anthony Collins, CB Aqib Talib, WR Marcus Henry
Tennessee - TE Brad Cottam, G Eric Young, ILB Jerod Mayo, QB Erik Ainge
Troy - CB Leodis McKelvin
Bowling Green - C Kory Lichtensteiger

I haven't heard if Rodgers-Cromartie is working out at Tennessee, but it seems likely. Although it's hard to imagine him improving the numbers from the combine. Edit: He'll work out at Vanderbilt on 3/21

Well, if corner is where we're going today will definitely be an important day. Talib and McKelvin are the other two in the discussion at 7 if we don't go with DRC, so I'm sure the Patriots are paying close attention.

Anybody find results?

dryheat44

A few. Neither Malcom Kelly nor Reggie Smith took part. Lofton ran a 4.67, improving from 4.78.

Talib showed much better footwork doing the agility drills than the combine.

I'll add more as I find them.

Talib ran a 4.45 and a 4.46.

Marcus Henry (6-4 WR with subpar hands) ran in the high 4.4s w/a 38 inch vert. I can't imagine that he's better than a 6th round prospect to UFA. He's more fast than quick and very slow getting out of his breaks.

No word on Anthony Collins (All American LT that dissappointed at the combine.) And the fact that there's been no word is very scary for Jayhak Nation wishing this guy well. I would love to see the Pats steal this guy in the 4th or 5th and have DS coach him up. He's obviously not an elite prospect but the guy was all-american for a reason...he can play.

Dry Heat, where did you find the info on Talib's agility drills?

dryheat44

It was just mentioned in passing on nfldraftscout under Talib's profile. There's no numbers on his site yet.

There's some from Cal, though. Lavelle Hawkins surprised, Justin Forsett disappointed.

Lavelle Hawkins California 5-11 187 4.48 (1.58, 2.64) Bench 14
Justin Forsett California 5-8 194 4.59 Bench 26 Vert 26.5

The more the see Talib, the more likely I think he is to fall in the draft. I originally thought the Patriots should draft him at #7, but now no way. His foot work is sloppy. He does not have shutdown ability either. I'd rate him as the 3rd best corner in the draft. But I think DRC and McKelvin are far and away ahead of the rest of the pack.

You still high on Hawkins? His numbers look good but not great...Kind of small for a reciever running +4.4. What round do you project?

Craig Stevens supposedly had a really good workout catching the ball at the combine and the pro day workout. He is known as a great blocker but the big knock on him was that he dropped alot of balls last season, but I think it was because he was getting alot of poorly thrown balls from an injured QB. I think he could be a great all around TE for the Pats.

Justin Forsett supposedly slipped when he did his 40s. He plays quicker than his timed speed and has some shifty moves and had really good production in his college career. I'd like to see the Pats take him either in the 7th round or as a FA if he is available.
