Andre Dillard with the 4.40 shuttle time, most important time to watch for o-lineman. Could be the pick at 16 and lock down the LT spot.

They don't do field drills until tomorrow. Fighters suck down for weigh ins and then fight the very next day. It won't have a significant impact on their drill performances tomorrow. It's just water weight. If I'm a team watching one of these guys, I'm asking them to step onto a scale right before drills if that's a option available to me. Then you're going to get a much better idea of their true playing weight.

That is not entirely true. As an avid MMA fan there are a lot of examples of a fighter fighting at a much lower weight class then their typical walking weight having stamina issues specifically. Yes you are just losing water weight but that process in general is really, really, really difficult on the body if you are cutting a lot of weight. Anthony Johnson is a great example of that. Look at his fights at the varying weight classes and see the difference.

It's a fine line. Doing a quick cut of some water weight to better fit into a narrow window for a weigh in, sure. Drastically cutting down in a short timeframe, that is going to have some cost. It is easier on guys of their age, however. It's us older dudes that trying to do that poo will wreck.

He won't be a day 1 contributor

He has good foot quickness and he was expected to look good in that.  But he has .any many other issues.  Strong chance he'll be available in the 2nd

You have to know you're that slow. Just skip the damn run. Hell, 4th rounds better than udfa.

Stamina issues in a fight are a lot different than stamina issues during Combine drills. With these drills were talking about a few seconds of activity followed by lengthy breaks. Stamina isn't gonna be an issue.

Would love it, but I think he's picked well before the 3rd round comp picks, unfortunately.

So, @ncfan considering Holyfield's 40-time today, maybe we'll have a chance at him with the 3rd round comp pick after all!

Look at Marty working that phone. Probably already trying to trade next year's 1st.

Gonna trade this years 1st and next years to move up into the Top Ten to select Bradbury?

Maybe hand him the card to run it up there himself. Nah, he wouldn't make it there in time and we'd end up pulling a Vikings.
