Surtain is making his case for our pick.
 
Why would they make Deonte Brown run a 40? Seriously, what could they possibly learn from that exercise

I just took a look at Jalen Ramsey and Marlon Humphreys combine results. Surtain is right on par with both of them but he is also taller and has bigger hands. Let’s just pray he is there at 10. I could see any number of teams including the Eagles drafting him.

Eagles going offense. Hopefully not pitts.
 
Some super-scary jumps and 40 times from Leatherwood, but I'm still skeptical of his game.

For one, he didn't run any agility drills, and I think that footspeed is by far the weakest link in his game. For another, explosion drills do a really bad job of measuring the type of leg-drive strength that linemen play with. They are good for showing how fast an RB will cut and go through the hole, or how fast a DE's first step is off the line will be, but it doesn't show the type of lock-in-the-hubs strength to push another 300lb man for 5 seconds. Connor Williams had a much better BJ and VJ than Zack Martin and Travis Frederick, but doesn't play with half the power of either one on the field.

My knock on Leatherwood is that he's a slow-footed straight line athlete who doesn't have the kind of mauling power you want to compensate. A blazing 40 and some huge jumps don't disprove either.
