Bobby Carpenter watch

[bigdrulez3141]

How did bobby do at the combine today, i was at school so i didnt see it. how fast did he run the 40, shuttle, how did he bench??

 

[InmanRoshi]

He's not working out because he still isn't 100% from the broken ankle. He said he probably won't be 100% for Ohio State's Pro Day, but he'll work out anyway.

 

[bigdrulez3141]

ooo thanks.. i really want him.

 

[Vinnie2u]

We might be able to get a "Canty discount" on him if he keeps playing the hurt card.

Rosh, was he at least measured and weighed? Or is he not there at all?

 

[CrazyCowboy]

Do we want to take a chance with someone coming off an injury with the 1st pick.....IMO we just cannot afford that chance at #18.....if he slips to the 2nd rd then yes!

 

[InmanRoshi]

He's there because he had a Q & A session with reporters. I haven't seen the LB's heights and weights released yet.

Carpenter out to return when good and ready

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH

INDIANAPOLIS — Bobby Carpenter is learning patience. But it sure isn’t easy. After fracturing his right ankle on the first defensive play of the Michigan game Nov. 19, the Ohio State linebacker wanted to return for the Jan. 2 Fiesta Bowl.
It wasn’t to be. He had to root from the sideline as his teammates beat Notre Dame.

Even now, more than three months after the injury, Carpenter is not all the way back.

Carpenter has decided not to participate in workouts at the NFL combine. He wants to give his ankle more time to heal before working out for scouts during Ohio State’s pro day March 9.

"It’s been tough," he said yesterday. "I see all these guys working out here, and they’re running these times. I would like to be out there. I’d like to be able to run and run well on a big stage like this.

"But I told myself I wasn’t going to get drawn into that. I probably need another week and a half or two weeks. I had to kind of tell myself that before I got here, because I’m a competitor. I want to go out there and run after (fellow Buckeyes linebackers) A.J. (Hawk) and Anthony (Schlegel) and try to beat their times. So it’s been a little tough, but I think in the end it’ll all pay off."

Carpenter said he’s confident he’ll be able to do everything required at pro day, though he expects to be sore the next day.

"It feels pretty good," he said. "I could play in a game if I had to. It’s not quite 100 percent, but it’s good enough if I had to play, I really could, I feel."

Carpenter’s ankle has been a topic of conversation in interviews with NFL teams, but he doesn’t believe it will be a concern for long. He expects to be completely healed by early April.

"I’m not quite as explosive as I was before the injury," Carpenter said. "That’s something that comes with time and building muscular power. I was out for a month and a half, and I’ve been working out for a month and a half, so it’s been a tough road. But I think that’s something that’s just going to come with time and reps."

Carpenter is projected as a late firstround pick in the April 29 draft.

"I don’t necessarily think it affects (his status)," Cleveland Browns general manager Phil Savage said of questions about Carpenter’s ankle. "I think it just leaves the sentence open-ended, to a degree."

Carpenter has rare versatility for a linebacker. He became a dangerous pass rusher this season and has the size and instincts to succeed in a traditional linebacker role. His pass-rush skills, however, could be what set him apart.

"Seeing a lot of teams go to the 3-4, I think it helps me," Carpenter said. "It’s another linebacker that they’re going to need. And, I guess, looking around, it’s tough to find a whole lot of guys who have the size and weight to play outside linebacker in the 3-4. You have to be a bigger, physical guy with good speed. That’s something that’s kind of a commodity in today’s game. I think that’s something I can bring to the table."

After three months away from the game, the 6-foot-3, 255-pounder can’t wait to feast again.

"You always overestimate your body’s ability to heal," Carpenter said, "so it’s been kind of a rough experience, adversity every day trying to get better."

Haven't seen anything on height/weight.

I got this from one draft sight. All of the other height and weights are consistent with the combine weights.

maybe hes doing it on purpose because he knows dallas is the team to be on :starspin

 

[junk]

6 2 1/2, 256.....pretty similar to the 6'3" 255 he has been listed at forever.

I'd be giddy if this guy drops to Dallas in 2 due to injury concerns. I can't see it though.

If he fell to us at 2, I'd be elated.

 

[jackrussell]

Would NEVER get past Cleveland in the 2nd round.

I don't think he gets past the gauntlet of 3-4 teams at the end of 1/top of 2. Dallas, NE, Pitt, Cleveland, SF, Miami(sort of).

SF and Cleveland are both LB hungry.

I think if Dallas wants him, they have to take him at 18 or deal down just a bit.

I have no problem with that. He's number 1 on my list of guys that are realistic options.

 

[ghst187]

that'd be as big a draft day steal as Witten be available for us in the third round...i remember being aghast that no one took him in the first....moreso in the second...elation when we grabbed him in the third. I thought it was pretty clear that he was the best TE in that draft.
Carpenter in the second where we're picking would be a coup.

Can't argue with that. Currently rated as a late round 1st, I'd hate to give up an 18 for him, but it wouldn't kill me.

I doubt Dallas will pick at 18. I'm thinking they trade down to the mid or late 20's and pick up Carpenter.

 

[Dayton Cowboy]

I doubt Dallas will pick at 18. I'm thinking they trade down to the mid or late 20's and pick up Carpenter.

I'm not so sure that Dallas can move down past 20 and be safe in getting him.. I believe that the Patriots would indeed take him at 21, especially if they release McGinest. Actually I am not so sure they don't draft him even if they keep McGinest.

I'd be banging my head against the wall if the pats swooped in and took Carpenter. He'd be exactly their type of draft pick.
