Shaquem Griffin 4.38!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fastest LB time ever! 

 

 

This LB class is insane! 

He's technically faster than Von Miller

[Defjamz26]

Josey Jewell is slower than I thought. 4.83.

[Defjamz26]

4.52 for Smith...Wow

I was just about to post that. Carter is a guy that was a top recruit out of HS, is an amazing athlete, but hasn't been able to fully put it together on the field.

Agree. Doesn’t dominate on the field. Perhaps he puts it together in the pros.

Anyone that used Bosa's 40 time as a reason he'd be a bust is ignorant anyhow.

 

I'm excited to see how Chubb does on the 3-cone.

Definitely agree. Chubb is testing well so far.

Short shuttle

[BleedBlu8792]

Hubbard is silently testing pretty well. 

[Defjamz26]

Impressed with Vander-Esch. Ran good and looked smooth in the drills. Liked that Baker and Jefferson both ran in the 4.5 range. That’s what you look for in 3-down WILL LBs.

Was hoping he'd be there when we turn in our 2nd pick before the combine. Don't think there's too much chance of that now.

[Colt Overseas]

Yeah Vander Esch running a 4.65 40 is plenty for a middle linebacker, and impressive for one his size. Can't see him dropping to the 2nd.

[Moosejawcolt]

I said before the combine  and on another post that my fav rush end was Landry. He reminded me of Von Miller

[stitches]

Here are some elite athletes according to Kent Lee PLatte's Relative Athletic Score measurement:

Bradley Chubb finishe as an elite athlete even with the poor 3cone with RAS score of 9.43:

 

 

Harold Landry(same score 9.43):

 

Da'Ron Payne(8.33):

 

Da'Shawn Hand(8.75):

 

Marcus Davenport(9.28):

 

Taven Bryan(9.91 WOW!!!)

 

Josh Sweat(9.91!!!)

 

Leighton Vander Esch vs Brian Urlacher:

 

Oren Burks(9.66)

[Aces101]

Taven Bryan would look great in a Colts uniform!!!

[Track Guy]

There were lots of LBs who had a good combine. We've got a class including:

 

Likely/Possible 1st rounders:

Tremaine Edmunds

Roquan Smith

Rashaan Evans

Leighton Vander Esch

 

Likely/Possible 2nd day picks:

Darius Leonard

Lorenzo Carter

Malik Jefferson

Dorian O'Daniel 

Matthew Thomas

Fred Warner

Oren Burks

Shaquem Griffin

Jerome Baker

 

I feel like we've got to snag an LB... There must be someone we like.

As the process moves forward you might consider moving Carter up to the first round.  

 

Between his size, speed and skills, he may have just made himself some serious coin the past few days...

The one thing that stands out to me in reviewing those TEA scores.....Urlacher mayb one of the greatest athletes to come out of college. His athleticim sure did translate to the football field.  I still think he is still the best  pure middle linebacker to ever play the game.

 Urlacher was just the 3rd best ever on the Bears.

I would put Badnarik a little higher because of his 2 Way play

Maybe so but I was just referring to his linebacker play.

Remember, most think the NFL didn't exist before 1967.

Me neither, but bringing up pre 1967 players for some reason gets either frowned on or dismissed in this forum.

I'm not sure that he does. His athleticism is a known. His biggest issue is that he was a top HS recruit that hasn't lived up to his hype.

I had forgotten about Jefferson. I have a feeling he may be one of our picks. I know we talked to him already. I like his physicality and he comes from the same school as Derrick Johnson.

With the staff talking about how they wanted to get faster, he’s exactly the type of player I envision. He can play SAM or WILL. He has that aggressive run and hit style of play necessary for the Tampa-2. I just don’t know if he could be the MLB to drop back into deep coverage. 

[krunk]

Well the timed speed is very good. They say he needs work in coverage, but maybe it can be coached into him. I like some of the other things you suggested at will or Sam.

After that combine performance, I don't see him making it out of the 2nd. Someone is going to reach for him based on his athletic upside and strong character.

 

I would love to get him in the 3rd though. I liked him before the combine and I like him even more after.
