Just come in. Ryan Swope joint 2nd fastest with Tavon Austin at 4.34. Goodwin officially 4.27. Markus Wheaton fell to 4.45.

Swope just looked beyond awful doing the gauntlet.

That's those small hands I mentioned earlier.

Is it me or is Marquess Wilson looking really good in the drills?

Two of my favorite WR's Justin Hunter and Da'Rick Rogers showed some serious lower body explosion. Hunter with a 136 inch broad jump and 39.5 vert at 6'4" 196lbs (4.44 40 time). Rogers with 132 inch broad jump, also with a 39.5 vert at 6'2" 217lbs (4.52 40 time). They would certainly adds some size and speed on the outside with excellent leaping ability.

This time last year he was seen as arguably the top WR in this class. His season could really only be described as a disaster and I'm sure there are a few teams that have him off their board due to character issues. Really intriguing guy and teams will need to do a lot of work on him to determine if he is worth a pick.

Yup, mentioned him earlier in the week as a guy that was not getting a lot of pub.

Another forgotten WR is the kid that left the Washington State program. I know there's a little bit of uncertainty there with the way he left, but he was a real talented kid; Marquez Wilson; 6-3, 188lbs. Before all the drama, in 2011, he had a great year with 82, 1400, 12. I'd definitely take a look late in the draft. Looks like a 2-3rd round talent who wont get picked up until late. It will be interesting to see what he measures out at. He needed to put on weight so I am curious to see what he weighs this weekend.

Hopkins' 4.50 is probably about best case scenario for the Pats. Fast enough that speed isn't an issue, slow enough that he's not going ridiculously early. I'd gladly take him at 29.

I think Hunter is my new binky. He's definitely light for his size but he looks like a complete/deep-threat WR.

Unfortunately I still think he's going before pick 25.

Thought he looked great. Definitely someone they should be looking at. I also loved Markus Wheaton and think he just moved himself up to a mid 2nd rounder. Officially these are my two wr's as of today. If we get 1 I'll be ecstatic.

I'd be fine with Austin because I love his speed and versatility. Only problem is its almost like you have to draft 2 receivers to get the full value out of your core. Crazy sick talent though,probably won't be there anyway.

I could definitely see that. If he were around at 26, I'd be calling GB to try to move up ahead of Houston, who terribly needs another WR. I don't know if he makes it to or past the Vikings at 23, though.

There are so many WRs with big numbers and they can't all go higher. If Hopkins and Hunter and some of the others jump, then Patterson and Allen and Austin and some of the others fall. One of these athletic wonders is going to be there no matter what.

Very true.

With guys like Robinson, Lattimore, etc..., you could run a gambler's draft and take nothing but fliers this year.

Yup. Deandre Hopkins, Markus Wheaton and Robert Woods were the best looking receivers today with special mentions to Marquess Wilson and Justin Hunter who rocked the explosion tests.

I'd be so tempted to go first and second round receivers, go RT in the 3rd and stock up on defensive backs in FA.

I probably wouldn't draft him myself, but I think Hunter probably gets into the first round. Rogers concerns me, on tape he looks really slow (ie gets chased down by Mathieu slow).

Bill does seem to draft in 2's lately. You might get your wish.

Forgot about Woods. He looked good as well. Especially on that 2 handed snatch out of thin air.

As a bit of a teaser, Onterio McCalebb just ran an unofficial 4.21.

Here's video of him being chased down (sort of) by Alec Ogletree. Ogletree's run tomorrow could be very interesting.


I realise that it's not a like for like sprint, but look at Ogletree's starting position when McCalebb gets the ball. The fact that Ogletree puts himself into position to make the play speaks volumes about his speed.
