NFL Combine Thread - Offensive Line

Not really. They'll look at the split times, and the cone drills to get the best idea. OL/DL is more about burst within 5-10 yards. Can't expect much, outside of that range, from 300+ pound men.

Some DL can drop back in zone, so he got to have some kind of quickness.

First group running was average at best.  Nobody stood out as helping themselves in my opinion

[stirs]

Guys that looked okay in first drill

 

Clemmings

Gallik

Fisher

Donnal

 

in my opinion

I'm talking more about DT specifically.  The DL that drop back in zone, are very, very rarely the 300+ pound guys anyway, which is what I was referring to.

[DaCityKats]

you can really see the athleticism of Clemmings, Fisher, and Collins so far in these drills. 

[Nick_81]

Is that Ray Brown I see doing the OL drills?

[Nick_81]

IDK, to me so far, I don't see why Collins couldn't do well at tackle.  He has really good balance, good quickness, and looks stout.

Takoby Cofield OT out of Duke looks like a player. Good size and experience.

La'el Collins looks impressive physically. Well proportioned upper and lower body.

Duuuke booooo. Sorry, I had to.

Flowers has a weird kick slide going on.

There have, supposedly, been whispers from scouts that Collins doesnt have the body for LT-and as a guy that's seen him up close, it's utter rubbish. The guy is long, blocky, and is all muscle. Either that guy was smokescreening or he should be fired.

The guy is a LT.

It's that time of year again folks, where all the enticing prospects get conveniently projected to go the 8 or so media beloved teams, regardless of whether or not it makes sense within the draft's order, whereas the rest of us for some reason take 3rd round picks so quality players can oh so coincidentally make it down to New England or Seattle.

Only question I have about Collins is his ability to keep his weight up or even gain a few pounds. At one point he was reportedly 320 and at the combine was 305. I'm not sure if the 320 report was exaggerated or if he dropped 15 because that is where he felt most comfortable to perform at the combine. I'll take his athleticism at the position and his nastiness over arm length all day.

That dude out of Oregon is looking good.

Look at Jordan Gross. After 6 months of being out of the league he looked like a cancer patient.

I'm not too worried about athletic Oline guys because with strength and conditioning coaches in the NFL they can typically stay at whatever weight is needed for them.
