The Official NFL Combine Thread


Recommended Posts

Allen Robinson didn't run a great 40 but did pretty well in the 60 yard shuttle, Robinson ran it in 11.36...

Jordan Matthews ran the 60 yard shuttle in 11.84...

Benjamin 12.08 and Beckham 10.93

@Ryan_Riddle: Allen Robinson's dynamic speed /weight ratio (wt, 40, SS, 3cone) score is on par with Kenny Vaccaro and Jamie Collins. Impressive.

-  I’m told the Arizona Cardinals will make a big run at Branden Albert if he hits free agency as expected.  If they don’t come away with Albert sources say the Cardinals will look offensive tackle in round one.

-  If the Seattle Seahawks had their choice of player with the last pick of round one it would likely be Odell Beckham Jr.  Chances are Beckham won’t be available to the Seahawks at the end of the first frame.  I’m told look for the Seahawks to go offensive line heavy in the draft.

-  Word at the combine has the Dallas Cowboys going defensive front seven early and often in the draft.  Word isAaron Donald is a possibility for the team in round one.

-  I’m told another team that looking for defensive line help during the early part of the draft are the San Diego Chargers.  The only exception will be if a top rated secondary prospect is available to them.

- How impressive was Jerick McKinnon’s workout yesterday?  Its likely to improve his draft stock anywhere from two-to-three rounds.  This morning sources told me they feel McKinnon has cemented himself as a fourth round pick and could break into the third frame.  A few teams now rate McKinnon as the fifth running back on their boards.

    • Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.
    • Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
    • Well, we got our answer on Army today.
