Maybe we should take a safety first, Delmas really impressed me, and take a corner later on. Is it a slow track or something coz 4.5s for practically every corner doesn't seem very fast.

Did anyone see how Sean Smith and Vaughn performed in drills?
Smith looks relatively smooth, stumbled once, tends to stay pretty high, higher than you'd like in his backpedal especially. Looked good going up and getting balls at their highest point. A little hit or miss, more hits though than misses. I still think he's a safety that can play some corner for a team, kind of like how Meriweather has been used at times.
I'll say this again: the 40 event is a joke. First off, no football player since Renaldo Nehemiah has ever run ANYTHING in the 4.3 range. The Combine has always been hand-timed until this year. Except, even this year it's hand-timed at the start. only the finish is electronic.
So, yeah, there may be a slower surface because it's the Lucas Oil Dome. But, that doesn't explain the flying times from several wide receivers. The fact that several wide receivers had those times tells me that they had a hand-timing human who was .01 too late on the trigger.
I looked at last year's combine numbers for running backs and compared them to the numbers of every combine (including this year's) since 2004. Apparently, the fastest guys from the last 7 combines all happened to come out in the same year (2008) because that cluster of numbers was higher than anything run before or after.
Coincidence?
I really wish they'd switch to something like a high speed camera where they could count frames to figure out how fast a guy ran. The timing seemed all over the place this year.
Stephen Hodge = Rodney Jr. u4.49 wow!

Anyway...hard to know what to think about DB bench reps, given that Meriweather put up a whopping 11.
He's been inching into the late rounds since the All-Star games as various rankings have been readjusted by film study. I'd expect teams looking at him as a Safety won't adjust their board by much, but teams considering him as an OLB will probably bump him up another round.Double Wow, on Speed and the Rodney Jr comparison,,
Even someone like me noticed all the plays he made against Boise St
Did he just make a modicum amount of money today, moving up a round or two??
I have to say, DHB's 4.30 looks pretty amazing after watching the CBs. I think this is a fairly slow track, too.
