Dorial Green-Beckham 33.5 " Vert 9'11" Broad jump

His athleticism was overhyped

As expected.

I understand that running a good 40 should help his draft stock. I'm thrilled with that. What I don't understand is why that would suggest going "all in" on him at 32 for the Pats, even allowing for differences in what people value as a draft choice.

We all have our binkies. I read "all in" as an expression of support for a binky.

A guy at a regional combine hit 47" in the vert today.

Interesting. So he has good burst but curious what else he brings.

I hope they hurry up with the 3cones and shuttles for the receivers.

Ameer Abdullah had a 42.5" vert (drool)
Jay Ajayi - 39"

Video or it didn't happen. That's absurd.

Wow. Who was that?

The former basketball player David Thompson reportedly had a 48" VJ.

I'm not worried about Abdullah's long speed. He wins with his quickness. Let's see his SS and 3cone.

Either Mayock or Jeremiah said that he fumbled 24 times. I like him as a runner but that's a ton of fumbles.

Eastern Michigan CB Willie Creear. Sorry, no video.

Yup, that's his biggest problem but he did improve year by year. He's a much better runner than Vereen and could contribute well in the passing game.

Vic Beasley put up 35 on the bench press. Yikes!

Annoyed!

Marcus Hardison isn't working out at the combine because of a minor knee injury picked up at senior bowl. Will test t the ASU pro day. Was really looking forward to his performance this week.

Mayock gives a 2nd round grade to Devin Smith. He said Smith tracks the deep ball better than any receiver he's seen in a few years.

Looking at Abdullah, my biggest issue with him is his fumbles. 23 fumbles in his college career. Belichick has been known to sit players for fumbling once or twice…. never mind 23 fumbles.

Abdullah would never make it out of BB's doghouse. He has naturally small hands, so it might not be something that can be corrected.

DL Bench Presses. Of note:

Mario Edwards - 32
Jordan Phillips - 28
Marcus Hardison - 27
Malcolm Brown - 26
Danielle Hunter - 25
Odighizuwa - 35
Armstead - 24

Still waiting for other results like Goldman.

Coates has bust written all over him. Can't track the ball at all, and his hand-eye coordination is terrible.

He looks like the part of a star WR more than anyone else at the Combine. Classic looks like Tarzan plays like Jane IMO.

Like Conley's hands, it could be a technique thing. Abdullah has improved in that area year on year. He also has the reputation as one of the smartest guys out there football wise. BB will like that.

I still want Cam Erving.

Just my (very) quick overview:

I saw a lot of reaffirming today, more than shocking surprises. I thought it was a good day for the WRs and a separation day for the QBs.
