Anyone watching DL and LB Combine?

How has conversion from LB been?) "It’s gone pretty good for Purdue and for myself. It wasn’t hard to grasp the concept of being a D-end just because I played D-end in high school. It was just going back to my old days. (When you made the transition did you think you’d have an opportunity to come to the combine and be drafted?) Umm, yeah. Purdue is known for their defensive ends so I thought it was a great move for me. Just being a little quicker for the average D-end I think it played to my advantage. I’m happy to make the move. (Have any teams talked to you about making the move back as a 3-4 OLB?) Yeah, in the 3-4. A couple of teams have talked to me. I feel comfortable just for the fact that I’ve played both. (Which teams talked to?) Basically all of the ones that play the 3-4. - NFL Combine Transcript
That's from Avril
 
Workout Notes [Group 2 Defensive Line]
Derrick Harvey/DE/Florida: Looked very good in drills. Also solid in some linebacking drills.
Lawrence Jackson/DE/USC: Very good in both in defensive line and linebacking drills.
Pat Sims/DT/Auburn: Showed very well for himself. Solid changing direction, quick feet, and moved well around the field. Definately better than expected.
 
DL Stars Shine
• The defensive linemen took the field Monday morning and both Chris Long of UVA and Vernon Gholston of Ohio St. were every bit as impressive as expected. Gholston ran a 4.64 with a 35-inch vertical while Long was just behind him with a 4.71 forty and 34-inch vertical. Both Gholston and Long looked excellent in the drills as well and showcased their athleticism. Marcus Howard of Georgia (4.47), Quentin Groves of Auburn (4.52) and Cliff Avril of Purdue (4.56) were the fastest ends in Indy while Dre Moore of Maryland (4.88) and Red Bryant of Texas A&M (4.98) posted the best marks for the tackles. Among the disappointments were Sedrick Ellis of USC, who ran in the mid-5.2 range, and Calais Campbell of Miami (FL) who came in with an unofficial 5.03 clocking.
 
Calasis CAmpbell stock is going to drop he should have stayed for his senior season hopefully he doesn't have a bad showing like that at his pro day.
