2018 NFL Scouting Combine Thread
 

Post your thoughts, rumors, Tweets, and other BS about the Combine here.

Here's the schedule:

Did you guys hear that McDickless won't be attending with Bellicheat this year?

Sure did. POS is afraid to show up in Indy.

I read that he typically doesn't. Just this year it's a big deal.

Shouldn't let him in the building if he did come.

RB and OL measurements are in. Orlando Brown is an enormous man. 6'8, 345, 35" arms. Wouldn't mind him in the second.

looking forward to seeing this guys workout...

Vita-Vea

He may be one ogf those physical freaks that doesn't work out, or may be the steal of the draft

Bradley Chubb measured 6'4 and change, 269 lbs, 34 inch arms, 9 7/8" hands. We'll see how he runs. He looks the part.

Hope he's there for the Colts to draft.

Those numbers are pretty close to Julius Peppers:. 6'6", 283, 34" arms, 10" hands. He only ran the 40 and did 4.68. so we'll see what he does tomorrow​.


Also, Barkley had a hell of a day and I'm becoming ok with him over Chubb. The fact that we can walk away with either or a boat load of picks is a good thing.

Either....?

Listen. Lets draft Chubb and keep it moving.

Yeah, but ran a statuesque 5.77 40 and only managed 14 reps on the bench.

Pass. Saquon Barkley did 29 reps.

Slow and weak doesn’t translate well in the nfl.

Davenport's measurables are closer to Peppers, and if he had any level of developed pass rush ability rather than just being a big strong guy who can muscle his way past some of the top talent in the world, I would've given him that comp. Size wise, Chubb compares favorably with Bruce Smith.

Also, no to Barkley and ideal is trade down and still get Chubb.

Trade down and still get Chubb. That has to be everybody's wet dream, right?

Yeah. Hard pass on that dude. Terrible preparation for the biggest job interview of his life.

That would be great if you can do it

"Trade down and all the blue chip players are gone" is what I'm concerned would happen.

I agree. If the guy you want is Chubb or Barkley and they are thee at 3 you take them.

The best prospects in this draft seem to probably be Barkley, Chubb, Nelson, and probably Fitzpatrick. We are in position to draft one of them, guaranteed. We don't really need Fitzpatrick. IMO the other three are the only real options. I'd only want to trade down a few picks, and then only if at least two of them are still there.

Chubb just ran a 4.66 that is faster than 95% of the QB's in the NFL, and probably fast enough to cover most NFL TE's.

For reference, Khalil Mack was 251, ran 4.65.
Chubb is 269 ran 4.66.
Joey Bosa was 269, ran 4.77.
Von Miller was 246, ran 4.53.

Dudes fast. Would love to see his jump scores and 3-cone. Those are the most telling for edge rushers.

As well as the less advertised 10 yd split time. Anything under 1.6 in the 10 yd split, and I would ecstatic.

I saw 1.63 for that.

Most importantly, the guy is a football player. T.J Green ran a 4.3 but he had 40 yards to chase down a running back in a foot race but couldnt do it.

We need more talented football players, not track stars.

Chubb ran a very disappointing 7.37 cone drill, apparently.

Firesale this pick, Ballard.

Shaquem Griffin ran a 4.38. You can't tell me that dude is not a baller.

I’ve been saying it for months, I hope we get him. Personally I would take him at the top of the 3rd round

He may have moved himself up further than that.

His tape don't lie, and now with the measurables...as far as athleticism he has checked almost all the boxes.

I would love to have him as a WILL on our team.

It is disappointing, but some pretty good pass rushers have not had great cone drills.
Demarcus Lawrence 7.46
Clowney 7.27

If Ballad is happy with the tape you still take him.

Most surprising time of the day to me was Tremaine Edmunds at 4.54, I figured he'd be a 4.8 plodder.

Chubb at 4.65 exceeded my expectations as well, and I think the 36" vertical and 10'1" broad shows the lower half explosion he'll need at the next level. I'm not terribly concerned about the 3 cone time, that's not very reflective of the skills he needs as a down DE.

Marcus Davenport has Julius Peppers type measurables across the board. Get him a DL coach and he'll wreak havoc on the NFL.

I've resigned myself that we're in a great spot at #3. Obviously if Chubb or Barkley are available at #3 I think we take them, but if the Browns and Giants take both of them, then we have a great opportunity to trade back, and get multiple players who can help us.

I think if he had 2 hands he would be a sure first rounder. Maybe even top 10 pick. I have no idea what nfl gms think of him though.

He's shown he can make plays the way he is, he shouldn't be knocked down due to his missing a hand.

Dan Patrick interviewed him this morning. After the interview DP said the word around the combine was around the 4th round for his draft slot.

if he goes in the 4th, then whoever makes that pick gets the steal of the draft IMO.
I guess we'll see when they play the games.

I can see GMs being very leery about drafting a one handed player with a high pick, even though he looks great.

I've never seen him play. Who does he compare to?

I'm not very good at making those kinds of comparisons. Instead I'll refer you to some tape.
Here he is single handedly wrecking Auburn in the Peach Bowl:
