2019 Combine

List of invites. Some notable exceptions, such as Hodge and Watson at LB. A few more weeks until the players gather for medical reviews, interviews, and field drills. Oh, and the 40 . . .

Testing will be key for Baker, but he doesn't lack confidence.

Curious to see if he can hit this mark at the Combine.

I like this kid. His hands are violent. Not a bend guy around the corner, but he can set the edge in the running game.

Came here to post the same thing. Thanks for keeping it current in here.

He looked great at the beginning of the year but then he really tailed off. I was hoping to see how he would work out, but maybe he'll drop to a range we're comfortable taking him (perhaps with the comp pick for Butler?) to see if he can regain his form. He'd be a good fit here if he can play more consistently.

What I lack in in-depth football commentary, I try and make up for with saturating the board with relevant tweets.

You think he’ll be available late third now? I would like to see him here.

High peaks, low valleys. At his best, he's a pro bowl caliber safety, but at his worst he's a liability -- doesn't sound like a typical Patriots type player. His last few games were not great. Add in an injury, and I see him going in a similar range to Eddie Jackson a few years ago. Maybe I'm wrong, but he's not as NFL ready as some of the other recent Alabama players. Abram, CGJ, Adderly, Rapp, Thornhill, Hooker, and Johnson are probably ahead of him at this point. We'll see.

I think DT in the 3rd or 4th round would be a huge steal. The guy had a rough stretch but very good traits.

 

[WaterfallJumper]

Unfortunate. I wanted to see him test.

Probably too hyped as a lottery pick, top 15 but I still really like him. Feel like a few bad plays stick out like that long TD where he looked less than graceful.

I love the potential Chung replacements though. So many of these guys.

If all the big names were available w our 2nd who would take there.

I'm curious to look at the D-lineman and Tight Ends this year. I heard they are both deep positions and with probably our two biggest needs, that's a good thing!!

Read the entire thread. GREAT thoughts from Orlando Brown Jr before the Combine.




EDIT: I copied it all below:

The OL position isn’t easy to evaluate...it’s easy to turn to numbers because typically your best blockers are your best Athletes. In my opinion it’s simple, OL is like a form of art. We all have different tools and abilities..

While my game is played by manipulating angles and understanding where the QB will be in his drop, some get to a spot and react from there. The reason that the numbers in the drills are so “valuable” is because they believe you have to be a “athlete” to react to counter moves and capture LBs at the second level. In my short time of playing the position I can tell you that understanding your body and angles is more important than your foot quickness.

When drafting a OL you’d think because he bends and moves a certain way he’d be successful but without the understanding of your abilities you will get lost in the shuffle. I’m not the best bender but I’ve got long arms. I understand that if a defender goes to dip I use my length to help me recover. A lot of OL rely on there athleticism instead of developing a set of fundamentals you are confident in. The DL in football are only getting smarter, they recognize those that try to use athleticism to there advantage.

With it being combine week many evaluators will write off several OL because of his “lack of athleticism”. I’m here to tell you to pay attention to his film, figure out how he manipulates his blocks based off his tools, and don’t count him out cause he isn’t a Super athlete.

P.S. Draft more Pricks at the position, it’s good for society to have them on a field and not at home.

Draft Guru Reamer what's your take of theses Three TE's.

Jace Sternberger Texas A&M

Zach Gentry Michigan

Kaden Smith Stanford

I would like us to get a couple of Y TE's I think Sternberger and Gentry can carry more weigh on their frames and might be sleepers beyond the Top 2. I think Kaden Smith have a Super pair of hands but is molasses slow in the open field. Irv Smith reminds of a much better version of the Criminal a Super move TE in the mold of a Big WR.

 

[WaterfallJumper]

Hmmm . . . could we see a big week from Collier? He's a favorite of mine, but in the 1st??

DE looks like another Deep position.
