Combine chatter....

[Risen Star]

So the two prototypes they used for an OT and an OG are Tyron Smith and Zack Martin.

~Furley sniff~

Tre' Jackson won't be on any track teams.

Tre' Jackson won't be on any track teams.

He and Fred can make there own team.

 

[Risen Star]

Apparently Tre' Jackson didn't lift.

I don't know why he would skip the bench pressing and "showcase" his 40 speed. Unless there's an injury I don't know about.

they have always been worried about his ability to bulk up,a better diet and it should be easy on hat frame
beasley at 246 puts him top 15 guaranteed imo, probably top 10 imo

Nebraska has one of the best sports nutrition programs for athletes in the country. They have a staff of over 15 people and their own personal executive chef who works with the nutrition directors to create diets and meal plans for all the athletes. So I am not sure how much a "better diet" he's going to get in the NFL unless he just didn't follow the Nebraska meal plan set out for him.

Bro, this weather is crazy. I don't ever remember so many frigid days in one winter.

Meanwhile, in Dallas

A near perfect winter so far. But of course, the weekend of the BCS Title game was a bit cold. Seems like anytime we have a big event here (Super Bowl, Fianl Four, BCS Champ) the weather picks that one week to be bad.

I really like Tomlinson a lot. I think the guy is going to be a very good G and will likely play from day 1.

 

[xwalker]

He was already going in the mid to late teens in mocks. If he blows up the Combine and then his Pro-Day, he may sneak into the top 10 of a lot of mocks.

I don't see him lasting until 27. If he were a guard or center maybe, but not a tackle.

To me he looks like a guy that will be really good at some point, but he looked a bit raw at the Senior Bowl for a guy expected to go in the top 20. Most teams tend to want an immediate starter with a top 20 pick.

So who's our next RT out of this bunch?

 

[DBOY3141]

I think the kid from Texas A&M (Ogbuhi). I see a similiar situation as with Bruce Carter. 1st round talent, tore his ACL late in the year, drops to late 2nd round.

 

[MonsterD]

Hmm I am not impressed with Peat so far, expected him to have elite physical skill.

 

[tm1119]

So apparently Gurley refused to let his knee be examined by combine doctors?? Sounds a little sketchy....

Hearing projections he goes in mid 1st, so maybe this is good news that he could drop to late 1st.

So watching the combine stream and they just popped up a graphic for "Teams with TE needs" and the Cowboys logo was including among the group of 5.

Little strange.

 

[Risen Star]

Yeah, a complete non issue.

Supposedly doctors found "weakness" in Winston's shoulder. I'm assuming the throwing shoulder. Now that might be something.

Not a huge need, but if a kid like Jesse James or Nick Boyle is available in the 4/5th, I'd probably pull the trigger. Witten can't play forever and Escobar has yet to establish himself as a reliable threat. Hannah's nothing special. Even though it may not be a huge need now, our TE situation can deteriorate pretty quickly.

Not so sure about that ease to bulk up. Its all over twitter that he was 218 before starting his Combine training. That means he adds those 20-25lbs already just to be at a decent weight. I doubt if he could bulk up too much and maintain that weight in season.

 

[sureletsrace]

The TE class this year is extremely weak. I'd only be interested in the TE from UTEP just because he looks like he's straight outta Winterfell.
