The 2015 NFL Combine Thread

4.54 on his second run. That's better.

I think he projects best at safety from a physical and athletic standpoint. I'm not sure if he can lay a hit though.

@nfldraftscout: #Raiders fans still mad that I mocked Kevin White to you instead of Amari Cooper?

@Roddoliver: @nfldraftscout It's so Al Davis to justify WRs rankings based on a 40-yard dash.

Couldn't agree more. A team will be out of their mind if they draft White over Cooper.

White is different to Cooper. I wouldn't separate them. White = Julio Jones, Cooper = Reggie Wayne

Jaelen Strong made some money today.

 

[Brady6]

After watching Winston I would want 2 first round picks for Garoppolo. All he needs to do is steal a HCs wallet to complete this performance.

I was trying to think of who Cooper reminded me of....that is a really good comparison that you made. Mayock keeps talking about Parker as well, any thoughts on him?

I just think Cooper really is something special as a WR from a route runner/technician standpoint. I'd go a step higher to Marvin

I just can't see how you can pass on him.

Haven't really watched him. Think he goes top 15 though. We're probably looking at 5 or 6 first round WRs: Cooper, White, Parker, Strong, DGB and maybe Perriman.

You should check out Tre McBride sometime. So far, McBride and Odell Beckham have almost identical numbers...Beckham had outstanding 3-cone and SS times though.

Thanks Manx!!!!

 

[manxman2601]

The fastest 10 yard split last year and this was 1.50. Tre McBride had a 1.51. Just hope he puts up good 3cone and shuttle.

@AlbertBreer: Saw Mariucci on Jameis Winston. That meshes with this -- a number of teams have been blown away with his football IQ in the interview room

@McShay13: I'm surprised at how surprised people seem to be re: Jameis Winston's off-the-charts football IQ.

This type of talk is getting annoying.

off the charts football IQ= Throwing 5-6 WTF throws each game.

off the charts football IQ= complaining/whining to your HC

It's nonsense. A QB with that type of in game IQ doesn't make those moronic throws into double coverage.

i think it depends on what you need. If you need a possession receiver, you go with Cooper. If you want a no1 receiver who goes deep and gets in the end zone you go with White. I can see Cooper suiting the Raiders and White suiting the Jets for example.

Jameis is a red-shirt soph. He's immature. When you go into a program that gives you everything; girls, cash and even crab legs. You get entitled players. TB12 hadn't even started a game yet after his red-shirt soph season. If Jameis gets on a team that actually coaches him, he'll be fine. If they give him the keys Day 1 and say it's all yours. Might be trouble.

chris conley 45 " vertical...

 

[manxman2601]

David Johnson just tweeted that he jumped 41.5" and 10'7" Phew on the vertical. That's Jerick McKinnon, Lache Seastrunk territory.

 

[Deus Irae]

So, when Goodell gives the Patriots the Jets first round pick as part of the Tampering punishment*, do the Patriots make sure to get Kevin White?







*Hey, a man can dream....

You know they'll trade down. Dante Fowler or Shane Ray if I had to pick.

You always take the beast

No they would trade it to Eagles for the Farm so they could draft Mariota

I like the Tory Holt comparison for Cooper. Very, very smooth.

I'd take White, personally. Not based on his 40 time, certainly, but based on his size and physicality. Split end > flank receiver in my book. I didn't expect him to be this fast - that's just a bonus. Daniel Jeremiah had compared him to Julio Jones based on his tape, and I didn't expect him to have Jones' ridiculous athleticism.

At 6"1", 224#

@DougKyedNESN: A scout told me Jameis Winston's shoulder is "bad." Categorized as a long term issue, not short term: http://t.co/DW53RmoX9j

I still can't get over the idea that Winston will go #1 overall.

-Goofy release
-Bad decision making
-Questionable attitude (whining to his coach)
-Questionable off the field

and now this

IMO, a QB with bad intangibles is like a WR with bad hands: all the athleticism in the world doesn't matter.
