    Good numbers for Judkins, Henderson, and Hampton. Outside of Jeanty those are your top guys.

    Tough times for Johnson and Gordon. I know they are both pretty big, but I think they would have wanted to show something under 4.55 to boost their stock.

    Well, 4 of the 5 presumed starters have been in the league 2 years or less... Hard to tell right away on guys, and I don't think we can afford to keep spending picks there. We either develop these guys or sign someone better.

    I don't know much about Collins aside from his size. How did he test athletically? Is he going to be stuck as a 2 down player in the league, or is he athlete enough to play in the sub packages? That is probably what I'd look for when determining a player of that size's worth. And yeah JPJ was second round (pick 32), we could stand to draft another one high... it really will depend on what we do in FA

    Most of the talk from the 'experts' is the depth on the DL this year is very solid, a slew of decent RB's as well. If there is no one that they really like in the 1st, hope Omar moves down and gets an extra 5 or 4. Using this in the past (not the 1st) he has maneuvered around in the middle rounds and made some nice picks.

    If you like a guy and he falls, this is when you take him. Have read in the past some say, 'should have taken ..?.., could have had this guy as an UDA. The issue with that as an UDA he can go anywhere, take the chance when you have it.

    Maybe the Steelers should draft this guy to replace Semaulo ;)

    Golden might have moved up to the middle of the first round with that time.

    Most guys are about what I thought. I figured Hampton and Judkins were 4.5 guys. Tuten would be a nice weapon to have. Thought Johnson would be a little faster.

    Giddens, who I like, tested really well. 4.43 forty. 39.5 vert. 4.33 shuttle. Guy has good size and he's fun to watch run the ball. Got some moves.

    Doesn't turn the ball over much, either.

    Shough just ran 4.64. How does Milroe not run? It's all he has to offer.

    Jaxon Dart probably clinched a 2nd round pick with his performance today. He was the smoothest passer there today and showed that he had plenty of arm strength to throw the deep ball.

    Riley Leonard looked better than I expected as a passer. His footwork was pretty good yesterday and I remember his footwork being pretty inconsistent in games. Has he been getting coached up, and is it an indication that there’s more untapped potential for him as a passer? I don’t know, but I wouldn’t count him out.

    Will Campbell who is 6'6" and weighs 324 ran a 4.95 forty, he was clocked at 20.2 MPH during his sprint.

    Leonard looked really relaxed out there slinging the ball. Milroe on the other hand had a lot of zip on the ball but was wildly inconsistent with his throws. Some were on target and some were way off target.

    Will Howard did some air mailing too. He does have natural tools to work with though.

    Yeah Howard did himself no favors with his combine performance. Gabriel had probably the worst outing showing inaccuracy and a weak arm.

    Some good Giddens runs in this reel.

    Not bad, but there are more powerful runners that are just as fast or faster (and have better tape (imo))

    I know. Giddens has to be judged relative to where you value taking him.
