The 2015 NFL Combine Thread

From ESPN's Kevin Weidl:

UConn CB Byron Jones is a nice surprise on tape. Big and strong with +AA. Explosive leaper that has a lot of range.

Here's a September interview of Jones by Ethan Hammerman:

Doubt if he gets past Seattle at 31. He has all the intangibles they look for in a CB

Ronald Darby had a 4.32 40 (unoffical) and 1.47 10-split, which is in the Revis range. Dane Brugler notes:

It was frustrating watching Darby's tape because opposing offenses didn't throw to his side of the field often. FSU left him on an island

Darby's technique is miles away from Revis, but there is some potential.

And they suddenly need DBs, with Byron Maxwell likely gone and Jeremy Lane injured.

Its amazing how quickly things can change in the NFL. From kicking browner out the door one offseason, to needing to draft a CB in the first round the next.

Some interesting comments from Rob Staton on Seahawksdraftblog on the DBs:

Some other DB broad jumps:

- Ronald Darby: 10'9" (had one over 11' reportedly, but couldn't hold it)
- Jalen Collins: 10'4"
- Landon Collins: 10'

@nfldraftscout: I think Darby goes Rd1. That speed, short area quickness is amazing and his film shows confidence, patience and respect from offenses.

Hopefully more CBs light it up. A run of reaching on rd1 CBs would be great for us.

Eric Rowe with a 39" VJ at 6'1" 205#.
PJ Williams 40"
Trae Waynes 38"

Kevin Johnson 4.52

In general, Nick Marshall's 4.54 is not that far off.

Trae Waynes, Ronald Darby, Marcus Peters, Jalen Collins. Byron Jones a wild card. Maybe PJ Williams. The more go in the 1st, the more other positions are pushed down. The more slip, the bette the chance of finding a value for the Pats.

Marcus Peters: 4.57 40, 1.64 10 split.

Mayock says that 4.50, 4.52 is "fine" for press corners. Nick Marshall at 4.54.

 

[manxman2601]

I'm with Mayock on Damarious Randall. Kept showing up when I watched Hardison. Good against the run too.

 

[mayoclinic]

Quinten Rollins: 4.67 40, 1.69 10-split.

 

[mayoclinic]

Eric Rowe 4.45 40, 1.56 10-split to go with his 39" VJ. He's helped himself.

 

[mayoclinic]

Josh Shaw: 4.44 40, 1.55 10 split. Good times for him.

 

[manxman2601]

Happy with Shaw (4.44) or Marshall in the mid-rounds.

 

[mayoclinic]

Kevin Johnson with a 41.5 VJ to go with his 4.52 40.

 

[mayoclinic]

Damian Swann another interesting day 3 guy with lots of upside. 4.55 40.

Jaquiski Tartt: 4.54. Good time for a 221# safety.
