Good one, I am sure you know this but for some of those who might not, I meant Evander "Ziggy" Hood from Mizzou.

Again that was a good one.

Thanks. I'm much more knowledgeable of pro than college ball, so my analysis of most college players is basically either, "Wow, he's pretty good" or "Eh, whatever," but I felt like contributing something to the thread, even if it was just juvenile humor.

Hey we need all types here, just keep posting. We do not have the volume of bad post here to muddle through so I prefer to play here.

Did not want to start a new thread for this, did anyone else hear John McClain talk about the electronic timers at the combine? He said they had two of them and one was not working at all and the other was messing up. The scouts don't care so much because they all hand time themselves, but the agents are PO ed, because the league is releasing these slow times as official. So Joe public thinks prospect AB is a bum because he ran a 4.7 when he really was low 4.6.

John also said if the league does not correct the problem he can see less guys running in Indy and waiting for their pro day on their agents orders.

I read somewhere that they were .6 slow.

The electronic times are always slower than the hand-held or manually timed 40s for obvious reasons. Unless they stay with the "official times" (however they record them), we're left with everybody reporting whatever times they want for their players.

I finally got around to watching the DB drills at the combine and the guys that impressed me most were Malcolm Jenkins, Louis Delmas, Coye Francies, Rashad Johnson, and Bruce Johnson from Miami. Forty times, or rather the timing controversy aside, these guys seemed to have a nose for the ball. I am really intrigued by Bruce Johnson since he does not seem to be too highly regarded, but he ran well and was a natural at the drills moving his hips well and leaping at the right time. Anyone know his projected round? I am starting to think the Texans should take a corner at some point since Dunta may not be here past next season. The Hall and Aso deals have inflated the market and Dunta, with a good season, will want even more than the $23 million guranteed the Texans were offering this year.

I would not touch Vontae Davis, he has no natural corner skills.

They seemed awfully slow, but you know that makes Heyward Bey as fast as Chris Johnson.

4.24

Johny Knox then runs a 4.3? and the CB group doesn't look half as bad.
