Maybe you can get one now. The NCAA made him quit selling them.

Early 40 times coming back for DEs aren't impressive: 4.78 for Maybin & 4.84 for Kruger. On the other hand, as I recall everybody was disappointed with Suggs when he couldn't break 4.7 when he ran for us back in 2003 but he turned out OK.
BTW, why do many insist on calling Orakpo a tweener since he's a carved-up 263 ? 263 is not big enough to playe weakside DE ? |

Conner Barwin 6'4" 256 lbs 4.56 forty, 40.5 vertical. Wow
Lawrence Sidbury 6'2" 266 lbs 4.53 forty. Not bad Everett Brown 6'2" 256 lbs 4.63 forty. Not as tall as advertised. Not bad time. Aaron Maybin 6'4" 249 lbs 4.78 forty. Not a wow. |

Brian Orakpo 6'3" 263 lbs 4.63 forty. Nice
Stryker Sulak 6'4" 251 lbs 4.66 forty. Surprising |

Maybin's time wasn't great but he sure looked explosive. And, he's added 15 lbs since December. And, from looking at him, most of that is muscle!

Do you know if Raji ran today? No time listed for him.
Nevermind. I see he ran a 5.13 at 337 lbs. There is no time for Peria Jerry, though. Ziggy Hood ran a 4.89 at 300 lbs and Dorrell Scott ran a 4.90 at 312 lbs. I would hate to try to stop that. Last edited by idymoe; 02-23-2009 at 12:21 PM. |

so Orakpo is bigger and faster than all of the guys that have been thrown around as possible picks the last month? Not to mention he out-played and out produced all of them.
It's amazing how the all-star/combine season can over analyze things until up is down and down is up. |

He is fast. A kid named Avery is blazing fast. Chris Johnson fast. I'm sure he's too small to play in the NFL, but he is a great college back. He is under 180 pounds, but runs surprising well between the tackles. There is no contradiction. BSU's philosophy for many years has been to rotate in as many players as possible. Johnson's sophomore year where he carried the ball so much was not typical.

That's faster than Terrell Suggs' forty time. Didn't seem to hurt him in the pros. |

Just to clarify on Johnson's college career, then I promise I'll stop.
Carries Yards Long TD's 06-07 277 1755 59 25 07-08 207 1087 72 16 Jeremy Avery 103 698 50 8 08-09 150 810 69 13 Jeremy Avery 111 639 57 4 Johnson also caught 22 passes for 229 yds and a long of 51 in 08-09. BSU passed a lot more in 08-09 than before. They switched up their offensive starting line just about every game, trying to find the best combination. Freshman quarterback Kellen Moore had an incredible year. |

I dunno, but Matthews was maybe the most impressive LB out of USC, and not just as a value. Mayoc & crew seemed to think he was the best pass-rushing prospect of that LB group and even mentioned he was voted top USC STs player last 2 years. Lot of versatility. Also ran in the 4.6s (official), which
was a better time than Cushing recorded. |

1. Mario doesn't line up exclusively at RDE. They moved him all around the line last year. So, it's not like he will lose himself if he starts at LDE instead of RDE. 2. Mario is tailor-made for the LDE position. His pass rushing skills become that much more valuable from the LDE spot than the RDE spot. It's analogous to getting a catcher who can hit 30HR and .300. Sure, you could move him to first base, but it kind of takes away from his value being able to play behind the plate. If you keep Mario at RDE you are not taking full advantage of both his run stopping and pass rushing abilities. 3. Most importantly, we need a pass rush. Adding a(nother) LDE is simply not addressing our needs and really does not make a lick of sense. |

Looks like Conner Barwin had the best shuttle and cone times, as well.

Matthews looks to be the guy that I was thinking Maybin or Brown could be based upon his and their measurables. edit- I even typed "Cushing" when I meant Matthews the first time I posted this. Sorry for the confusion.

I remember him from the Senior Bowl (primarily the one-on-one drills during the week), but he's got a real burst and did well against some of the big OLineman in those drills. |

Lawrence Sidbury Jr. of Richmond is my biggest climber at the Combine. I'd be willing to use a 2nd rounder on this kid. He has the arms of a Condor and his speed is now unquestioned. PK and I were discussing a combo of Maybin, Kruger, and Cody Brown. Now, I'm considering Matthews, Sidbury, and Gerald McGrath.

I just saw highlights of Conner Barwin's day. He runs really quiet for a big man. Mariucci said he played basketball at Cin. early on and caught 53 passes at tight end. He looks very athletic and has already shown quite a bit of versitility. I'm thinking he goes before our 2nd pick, so I don't think we'll have a shot at him.
Sidbuby would have to really jump to move past our 2nd, so if you wanted to spend a 2 on him, I think he will be there. |
