Damn. Orlando Brown with just 14 reps! Weird!

Have to think that hurts his stock unless he can improve upon that greatly at his pro-day.

He has long arms so that's part if it IMO. It's harder for the long-armed players to do the benchpress. Still not great thought. 

 

I guess this one has to go in the column of "if it doesn't show on tape it doesn't matter"... I haven't noticed him lacking strength at all on tape... so.... 

[stitches]

RBs starting bench pressing - Saquon with 29 bench press reps! Impressive. 

 

Nick Chubb did the same 29 reps. Beasts!

This is not that uncommon for guys with long arms.   The longer the arms, the harder to do the bench press.

 

A guy like McGlinchey is more the exception to the rule.

Exactly.

I want Ballard to draft Gossett in the 3rd or 4th. Preferably by trading down from the top of the 2nd or 3rd and pick up extra picks. Trading down from #36 to Miami for #42 & #111.

Anybody got a link to measurements? Seems a lot should be done already as far as Ht Wt? Do long jump and verticle count as measurables or drills?

Here's a thread for the measurements:

Holy crap we’ve got 2 RBs benching more than 90% of the O linemen while weighing 100 pounds less. That’s just sad for Orlando brown. Hopefully he drops to us because he’s still a good player.

The combine on-field testing for OTs/RBs/ST players starts in about 10 minutes.

I think it's available on NFL's mobile app, but don't quote me on that.

It seems like the OLine group will run first. 

 

(hopefully, today Saquon makes the Giants pick him) 

 

Edit: seems like it's the special teamers who will run the 40 first. 

[stitches]

Orlando Brown:

10 yard split: 2.00

40 dash: 5.86 -> 5.77 second run... 

OUCH! 

 

Alex Cappa 1.87/5.36 (expected better)

Geron Christian 5.34

Will Clapp: 1.88/5.4

Mason Cole: 1.78/5.23

Austin Corbett 1.76/5.15 -> he's been getting some 3d/4th round grades

Tyrell Crosby: 1.86/5.24 - > I like Crosby - good testing for a player who had questions with athleticism.

Desmond Harrison 1.79/4.9 -> first one under 5.. 

Will Hernandez 1.76/5.14 !!!! Real nice!

Jamarco Jones 1.95/5.35

 

 

[Colt Overseas]

I have never liked Orlando Brown, he is going to struggle big time with speed rushers despite his wingspan. His tape isn't great for me, and doesn't have great technique.

[stitches]

Second runs are going on... 

Crosby betters his time at 5.20. 

 

Holy hell!!!

Desmond Harrison just clocked at 4.75!!!

Brown is not doing himself any favors, he looks slow.  When I saw him play at Oklahoma he looked better.

[stitches]

Second group of OLinemen about to run:

 

Jaryd Jones-Smith 1.77/5.27 - > super long 

Quenton Nelson pulled a hamstring while warming up - won't run 40, will try to do the rest. 

K.J. Malone - I missed this one

Kolton Miller - 1.67/4.98 -> he's testing very well, set the record in the broad jump

Joseph Noteboom 1.72/4.96

Chukwuma Okorafor 1.88/5.32 - expected a bit better testing

Brian O'Neill - 1.67/4.80 - damn... he's athletic... I didn't like him at the Senior Bowl but he is athletic

Brandon Parker 1.83/5.45

Skyler Phillips 1.76/5.09

Scott Quessenberry 1.76/5.10 

Will Richardson 1.84/5.22

Greg Senat 1.87/5.38

Coleman Shelton 1.82/5.24

Braden Smith 1.80/5.21 - Solid

Rod Taylor 1.83/5.30

Wyatt Teller 1.85/5.30 - Colts met with him at the combine

Salesi Uhatafe 1.84/5.40

Toby Weathersby 1.88/5.35

Sean Welsh 1.88/5.45

Connor Williams 1.76/5.06 - good run for Williams.

Posted this in the other thread - Very interested to see Pitt’s OT Brian O’Neill’s workout numbers. He was a hoops player of the year in hs and played wr. Pitt recruited him as a TE and then he converted to OT. He produced on the field,   and has a ton of upside & expect him to test well.

O’Neill just posted the fastest OL time with a 4.80 40

He's killing it. Testing off the charts so far.

I’m much older than him, but attended the same hs (Salesianum) in Delaware. Been following his career including attending state championships in basketball and football. I expected him to test very well.  In 2016, he had scored a couple of tds for Pitt in which you could really see his athleticism.

Orlando Brown didn't test well, but owned up to it in the on-field interview and he seems like a nice, smart kid.

Maybe he watched some of those impressive 40 times and figured he would just shut it down since he is expected top 10 prospect.

[stitches]

 

^ this is not good. He also jumped under 7 feet at the broad jump and under 20 at the vertical. This is the worst combine performance in the history of the combine. 

[stitches]

 

DAMN! 

Nick Chubb:

 

 

Those two are killing the combine so far.

Yup, sounds like he could fall all the way to the 4th. I probably wouldn't even touch him if I'm Ballard though, seems similar to Banner in that he's massive but unathletic.

loafing?!  This kid is just plain stupid.  Here's his one chance to win the lottery and he's slacking off. 

[stitches]

 

[Fisticuffs111]

Not that it needs repeating, but this is such a solid year for RB's and OL, or specifically interior OL.

More and more I think the Browns or Giants, IMO probably the Giants, take Barkley at #1 or #2. If Chubb tests really well though I could see the Giants choosing between Barkley/Chubb though.

[stitches]
