The 2015 NFL Combine Thread

Danny Shelton: 5.66 40, 1.88 10 split. Slow as molasses. Makes Louis Nix look fast.

I just don't see the Haloti Ngata comparisons. Never did.

I see him as a player who will go a lot later in the draft than most have predicted. I see a space eater and not much more.

I agree he's a space eater and not much more. I hope he goes top 20 based on the hype.

If he's just a space eater, how do you explain the 9 sacks his senior year?

No VJ or BJ numbers posted for Danielle Hunter. I assume he didn't do those. Thought he would excel.

From Mike Loyko:

Odighizuwa tore up the combine and I love him, but won't be surprised at all if he slips. I know a few teams who say his medicals are bad.

That's still my biggest question with Diggy. It could all be disinformation, but it's something that needs to be sorted out.

Rakeem Nunez-Roches' broad and vertical jumps are Gerald McCoy, Aaron Donald good.

And he said he was fully cleared.

Bud Dupree doing his Jamie Collins impersonation. 11-6 broad and 42" vertical.

I would expect a prospect to put a good face on things. I would also expect lots of teams to sow disinformation. No idea what it all means - but I would certainly want to sort it out if I were thinking of drafting Diggy with a high pick.

At 19# heavier. Impressive. I expect Dupree to make Vic Beasley's day look pedestrian in comparison.

Preston Smith has had a good combine. I disagree about shelton. He is more then just a space eater. He has pro day to correct those numbers.

And I'm sure teams are. That's drafting 101 and completely meaningless to us with no access to that info.

I think that's what I said. It's just something to be aware of. It wouldn't change my grade for now, but it's something to flag as a possible issue to be addressed. Lots of those with other prospects as well.

Mckinney 40.5" verical

Bernardrick McKinney with a 40.5" VJ. He was expected to do well at that, and did.

Ted Washington was just a space eater. Vince Wilfork is just a space eater. Only when people are experiencing the temporary insanity triggered by the Underwear Olympics is being a space eating NT a bad thing for a 3-4 defense.

Draft is about value creation. Drafting a good player who fits your scheme in the 5th round is value. Drafting a limited player with questionable hips who jumps macula high in the first round is not value.

Amen brother!

That is the bb strategy in a nutshell.

mayoclinic said:

Anderson is generally considered an "unathletic 5-tech", but if he shows positional versatility and continues to show better athleticism, then he's a huge value compared with someone like Arik Amstead.

One problem is the "Stanford Asterisk" on his numbers -- thanks to their unusal training program, Stanford players tend to put up unrealistically good measurables.

Can we stop with this Diggy only jumps high rubbish. I've been a big fan of his since September based upon his tape.

Supply and demand problem. How many 2-gap 3-4 defenses are left in the league?
