Combine chatter....

[Risen Star]

Melvin Gordon looks the part. 40 time was a bit disappointing though. 4.52

He's not a burner. Neither is Gurley. I doubt he'd run a much better time than that.

And they just schooled all the people who jumped to the wrong conclusion on Gurley and his refusal to have medicals on his knee this week.

He's not a burner. Neither is Gurley. I doubt he'd run a much better time than that.

Marshall Faulk says Gurly told him he ran a sub 4.3. Take that for what it's worth - not much. But I'd like to find out.

The problem is that a 4.3 at one place might be a 4.5 at another. That's what I like about the combine; from a statistical perspective, it puts everyone into the same controlled enviroment vs. fast tracks, elevation, etc.

I think Gurley will drop to the second round - that or the Pats take him at #32.

gordon plays fast though unlike murray who ran 4.41 but doesnt with that speed while shady mccoy ran 4.5 but does play fast.

I'd be shocked if he could do that.

So let me throw this out there: RB David Johnson in the 2nd round?

 

[koolaid]

40 times are a terrible way to evaluate RBs. May as well have a dunk competition.

My best guess would be around 4.45-4.5.

Additionally, don't have to be a burner to be a great back.

I agree with your guess.

And I continue to be impressed by David Johnson.

He has had a fantastic day. I can see Dallas liking him.

Day 1 and 2 mock:

1. Bud Dupree DE
2. David Johnson RB
3. Tyler Lockett WR

 

[Nightman]

I like that FB from Alabama, Jalston Fowler. A thumper that can catch the ball. Can we get him in the 7th??

 

[Nirvana]

Yeah, I'm on the bandwagon.

 

[koolaid]

Lockett is going to be a good player for someone. That size will scare off some teams but he has every other trait you could possibly want.
Mariotta's arm looked better than I expected.
If Abdulla's 40 drops his stock he would be a sweet player to have backing up Murray.

My other new pet cat.

No doubt.
Forget those on campus 40 times. It never fails, they are always faster than the combined times.
You always here, many years ago so and so ran 4.1 forty or something crazy. It'll always be at a ro day or else just on his campus .
Not real
