    Who are some guys you think will fall on many boards after today and who do you think will rise from their combine performance?

    Obviously Cyrus Kouandjio due to medical. ASJ due to medical most likely. Amaro might have hurt himself a little based on his less than stellar performance. Yankey looked a little off today, and that might have people re-watching some of his games.

    Lewan helped himself today obviously. Other linemen who probably bolstered their draft stock were Joel Bitonio and Seantreal Henderson. AC Leonard was a late round, possible UDFA sleeper that I liked who took a jump today.

    Who are your winners and losers today?

    Henderson worries me with inconsistency and brains. he's one heck of an athletic freak but the brains have always held him back at the U. Brandon Thomas, Wesley Johnson,justin britt, mike schoenfeld (sp?), jawan james, billy turner, lewan, robinson all were solid, but none really spectacular except maybe lewan and robinson. every lineman though had some good and some average marks.

    amaro was intriguing to me. seems he has some more TE abilities then I first thought and size to build on that part of his game. again nothing spectacular from these guys. I can't help but think that ebron didn't want to showcase those hands in front of GM's. his hands and blocking are my biggest concerns about him. maybe it's just the consistency of those two things but they are biggies for a TE. again nobody seemed to really separate themselves from what was first thought. similar to the linemen.:cool:

    Yeah, Henderson has a lot of areas of concern in terms of technique. Not to mention how many times he was suspended at Miami. I do think his quickness and footwork helped his stock yesterday, though.

    I thought odell beckham III and donte moncrief both looked fast and quick in the shuttle and cone drills. i would be happy with either in the 3rd. robinson made some money today to. very strong and look quicker than i thought. i have seen these guys a lot living in sec country so i know the tape on them looks good

    I think Moncrief in particular would be a great pick. I thought 3rd round because I assumed his 40 time was going to be just above a 4.5... At 4.4 flat, I wouldn't be shocked if he is a second round pick. He has everything you want in someone that could come in and contribute right away.

    I still think he is a 3rd. I don't know if he would make it to the end of the third where we are. he has had some drop issues but always seems to make the hard catch.

    Bortles, the only one who threw while all the other top QB's sat out, how gutless. Had a solid combine too. I've maintained all along that he is the best out of this years batch.

    I don't think Michael Sam or Louis Nix helped themselves.

    I'd love it if we brought him in late. he's a tough little dude too. strong, and has lots of position flexibility. he's got moves with that speed and is hard to get a shot on. he takes AB out of the return role and could allow us to have an extra open position. fun as heck to watch with the ball in his hands. capable of going to the house from several positions at any time. the kent state connection. I wouldn't mind him at all.:cool:

    What happened to the really good return man we had in the pre-season? Dunn? Kinda seems like the Steelers are unwilling to go with a return man only guy.

    They are. I didn't think Dunn really stood much of a chance due to being such a specialist. A guy who's dynamic in returns is going to have to be able to beat someone else out at their natural position IMO.

    But can he actually play any of those positions at the NFL level. I'm just starting to wonder after the failed Chris Rainey experiment if we will go down that road again.

    Tough call. From what I saw in the couple Kent St. games I watched...I'm on the fence. I'd like to see what he could do behind a NFL caliber line. I like how they used him, and like how versatile he was. He's a little more explosive than Chris Rainey, IMO. Wouldn't be disappointed if he was a late round flyer.

    he was all conference at all 3 positions. to answer you question yes he is legit as a rb, a wr and a returner. he's not going to be a feature RB all season but he can run between the tackles and he's got good hands and can run routes well as a wr. he was used at both as well as a return man. as a 3rd RB on game day and as a 5th wr on gameday he would be well worth a 7th round pick. he's strong at 5-7 1/2 178 20 reps. yea you can say short arms but for a guy his weight putting up 20 reps is fantastic. he's the real deal if you've never seen him. he can do a lot of things. quickly. kent state was a different team with him on the field. he had an ankle injury in the first game last year that held him down. :cool:

    DL Aaron Donald----- I think his individual skills opened some eyes and is going to force guys to go back and review his game footage which may very well move him up the boards. His height may keep him down but his tape may push him up.
