If we trade back, preferably it will be for a high 2nd with a QB like Carr falling and one of the top 10 teams in need of a QB passed/missed on the top 3, trading up for him.

That's probably what NE will do. Lol

-  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.

lol All this just makes me think that the opposite will happen. Jerry Jones for example, smokescreens the fug out of everyone every year. FA is less cryptic though. I buy Zona making a bid for Albert.

I doubt Beckham gets past the Saints

Beckham only got 7 reps of 225 up. Golden Tate did 17 at the combine and Victor Cruz put up 16.

Oh trust me, Barr is anything but a fifth round talent. At worst, he'll fall into the second round. I hope he falls to us and he develops behind TD.

That was sarcasm. If you look in this thread you'll see hundreds of reactionary posts to the combine when it's only looked at as back up info to actually game film and is relatively meaning less

I can't see them taking a WR in the first. They need OT, LB, CB, S

[Madwolf]

WR - Damian Copeland - University of Louisville

5'11" 184lbs

 

40 Time - 4.50

Bench Reps - 12

Vert Jump - 40" *

Broad Jump - 120"

3 Cone Drill - 6.53*

20 Yard Shuttle - 3.90*

60 Yard Shuttle - 10.84*

 

Top 5 performances indicated by *

 

Could be a good pickup later in the draft.

[stirs]

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.

 

This is why I compared him to jerry rice, who had some unimpressive straight line speed, but when moving in and out of traffic on the field, lost little speed

And now, on the the DB's, but Mayock ties a little bow on yesterday

I really like Robinson, he tested very well in vert (39") and broad (10'7"). I do prefer WR's with 10" hands though, especially when catching lasers from Cam. Robinson has 9 1/2" hands, which may contribute a bit to some of his drops.

Maybe I'm missing something because I seem to be alot higher on him then most here. But he attacks the ball well, he's a guy you can just lob it up too, he's shifty and possesses the size to be a number 1. You can't just look at Robinson's numbers and make a conclusion, if you go and watch every single video from draft breakdown there were a handful or more times he had his man beat downfield but the throw was crap.

Calvin Pryor checking in at 5'11", 207

Most places had him down at 6'2"

[stirs]

3" is pretty big difference, and he had a bit of an edge on Ha Ha, but that might make em even again

Darqueze Dennard with a 4.42 unoffical. I believe he's in the pool for our potential picks

Fuller with the 4.40 flat....

 

My little Hokie heart can dream right?
