I thought you lived by those 3-cone & shuttle times in rating the potential of OLineman for the ZBS ?

Yeah, but they have to be able to block. I like what I see from Eric Wood, for example. Good times, but ALSO good play on the field.

What's the over/under on James Laurinitis and a 4.81? He might last until the 3rd round. Ouch!

4.65, which would make him the 4th fastest LB in this draft.

Yep. He really whipped up on Raji in the SB game.

I am starting to think about Malcolm Jenkins at safety after he dropped a 4.55, and he will probably be around after that performance.

I like Patrick Chung but i think he might be a 2nd rounder and not slip to the 3rd

I've been thinking that about Vontae Davis. Then I saw what Chris Clemons, David Bruton, CJ Spillman, and Chip Vaughn did today. Maybe I don't have to spend a 1st round pick on an impact S afterall.

I know that's the usual response when a CB has good size and is a little slower than most people like. They really are two different skill sets though, especially if your talking about a CB who has played mostly man coverage. I wonder what the success rate is on guuys who try to make that switch when they get to the NFL? I would rather do it right away then wait a few years. Most CB's are going to resist it though, unless it's a way to extend there career (or their only chance to make a roster) for one simple reason...CB's make more money than Safeties.

Anyone want to talk about Stephen Hodge S TCU 5'11 5/8 234 lbs. Ran a 4.49 forty. A tweener, TCU used him at safety and will. He blitzed a lot & had 8 sacks. Was a qb in high school. Big hitter, would be good on special teams. 6th or 7th round, maybe?

I really like him at the college level. At best, he's Sam Mills - a short LB. He played around the LOS in college, so I'm not sure about him in pass coverage. He's great against the run, so maybe they consider him as a WILL. He'd definitely be a project.

A bit of levity - Rich Eisen running the 40, stay tuned for the shadow cam thingy at the end:

The Shadow cam with Raji is funny as hell.

But not at #15. We've got a bigger fish to fry with that pick than a FS.
And a CB is not worth a top 15 pick to us if he's not atleast a sub 4.5 guy as long as we continue to operate as much man-coverage with our corners
as we do now.
