2018 Combine

[WaterfallJumper]

Impressed with Freeman hitting 4.55. People are jaded because of the times put up by Ballage and Barkley, but for a big guy, 4.55 is quite solid. I like him a lot and think he'll surprise people with his nifty running and ability to shoulder the load.

The 40 times with the RBs where dissapointing. Ronald Johnson didn't run well.

Another guy with the exact same measurements as Edmunds. Of course, he plays outside vs inside linebacker, but I do really like Carter (not as much as @Snooky97 though).

I have Carter as a pure pass rusher personally. I would be interested if we could get him in the dirt rather than OLB, would be interesting

Sony Michel was probably the biggest shock, he looks so much faster and more explosive on the field, which in all reality, is where it matters most. Curtis Martin and Emmit Smith were 4.6 40 type of players and they wound up being great. Kamara ran a 4.65, and won rookie of the year in 2017. So 40 time can help you only so much. Either you can play, or you can’t.

 

[Snooky97]

Gutted that Ronald Jones hamstring went when he was running. Guy is electric, he may drop now possibly

I thought Walton from Miami would run a lot better than he did. Well some of these guys could improve their times on pro day. In terms of LBs I like the kid from Boise State and Darius Leonard.

True I still feel Michel will be picked high.

He pulled something. He looked fine through the first 20. Don't put much stock into it.

Barkley seems like he's going to be the next big time RB.. Granted, I just saw the highlight reel, but man, guy can stop on a dime to make his cuts and is at full speed in less than 2 steps again.. Like the fact that he can catch out of the backfield as well.

Barkley is going to be a beast. Huge weapon for whoever drafts him.

Similar to Bell somewhat, baller, CLE would be idiotic to pass

 

[WaterfallJumper]

Overall, a very fast group for their size at RB:



These guys should all be on our radar:



The all important 3-cone drill. Pencil one of these guys in for the Patriots:

This has been my working comp for Michel for a while now:

 

[WaterfallJumper]

Trying to find the rest of the BP results for wide receivers, but it's no surprise that Kevin White's little brother showed well.

I absolutely love that we were the first to meet with Michel. That kid would be an absolute monster in this offense. OROY potential.

As much as I hate to say it because I really like the kid but given how deep the class looks in RBs I am not sure there is a lot of value going after any of them so early. Obviously it all comes down to internal evals...

Also on a sidenote I would not go toe-to-toe with other teams trying to get Lewis. No way I overpay in FA this year for a RB..

I couldn't see him falling past the Steelers. Fits like a glove with the way they blitz.

LVE's upside makes him more interesting than Evans, but I like Evan's technique better right now. I'd be happy with either one, although given their size, it's more likely that we would be interested in LVE if they were both available.

LVE seems to be exactly what you would look for in terms of measurements. Looks like someone I would take at #31 or maybe even #43 (with small trade up) depending on how things shake out until the draft.

If he tests as he's rumored to perform, he may not make it even close to 31.

Good Score for Kirk

Probably will be a run on RBs in the mid to late 2nd round. If we want a good one, going to have to grab one at 43. Especially if Lewis and Burkhead don’t resign. White is a pass catching back, Gillislee is, really I don’t know, and Bolden is a special team player. Definitely a need if Lewis and Burkhead leave.

Lets see.. unless the hype machine somehow really catches on to him I think of him as borderline day 1 pick. But as usual it only takes one team..
