At FSU Pro Day, @idontwan2know alluding to Manuel's weight transfer issue. His footwork + mechanics appears stiff/forced IMO. Not clean, yet

@NFLcombineguy @SC_DougFarrar Tank's game is his strength, not his getoff. He doesn't always read snap well. Is extremely strong.

Interested to see Rodney Smith in the NFL. Will have to work hard. Cannot pout if coach wants to try another player at his position.

Menelik Watson just ran a double team-two hand punch drill and killed it. Couple scouts laughing about how hard he hits those pads.

Funny seeing Bjoern in the LB group, but he actually looks really good. Change of direction is impressive for his size.

Just overheard a couple scouts talking about Harley. Seem pretty impressed with today's performance. Not sure about game film though.

I do not see Werner playing much in a 2-point stance, because I think he can add 15 lbs of muscle. However, good to see him move very well.

Bjoern looking good in the linebacker drills. Turns hips well. Made some really good catches too.

@RashawnFranklin Told all 32 teams made it to #FSUProDay. And with 14+ draft eligible players, it's a must attend.

A lot of Tank fans out there...don't worry, he will perform a full workout in April just before the #NFLDraft #Noles

Menelik Watson with a disappointing 19 reps (but long arms). Vince Williams with 22, per @dtackett_

RT @dtackett_: Bjoern Werner, Menelik Watson, and Rodney Smith are all sticking with combine times, so they're not participating.

Don't make TOO much of this. But if Saffold really doesn't wanna play RT... RT @Ooonooo904 Menelik Watson talking to #Rams scout extensively

Any favorites?

I assume Watson is a reach at 18 and will be gone at 47.
Will Tank be there at 47?

Love Tank's game but when somebody puts on 70 lbs in 4 years, all muscle, makes me wonder if he came by those pounds honestly.

Yeah, if both guards and Richardson are gone (or if they don't want Richardson), this guy is my number one trade down option.

Brandon Jenkins runs 5.0 forty at FSU pro day
Florida State pass rusher Brandon Jenkins ran a forty time around 5.0 seconds during the school's pro day.
That certainly isn't a good time for an edge rusher who did his best work by running past heavy footed offensive tackles in 2011. Senior Bowl executive director Phil Savage does not believes Jenkins can play outside linebacker, due to the lack of quick twitch and change of direction ability. Savage also questioned if Jenkins was 100 percent healthy.

If Tank Carradine shows enough recovery during his workout in April I think he flies up boards and probably leap frogs Bjoern Werner.

Hard to know how much of that time is due to the injury.

 

[unionjack8]

I agree, cos when you watch his games his first step is better than any de in this draft IMO. That injury may not be ready until next year but in round 4 I would jump on him.

 

[Questfor6]

After watching the Senior Bowl Vince Williams really impressed me. He flew around the field making plays and if we could snag him late or get him as a UFA I think we'd be getting a real steal.

Why is he a reach..........don't go by the draft website rankings, this guy is a top 3 offensive tackle in this draft.

 

[tm1119]

No he's not....size and athletic ability doesn't make a player automatically a good tackle. He COULD be a top 3 tackle, but he has a long way to go. I seriously doubt he even starts the 1st year for whoever he is drafted by. Have you actually watched him play?

Even after Fisher and Joeckel Lane Johnson and Terron Armstead are even more impressive athletically and both are more NFL ready. Chris Faulk could easily be placed above Watson if he is healthy as well.

 

[Zekeats]

Ok.....go look at some game film and find me one time he gets beat......stop reading CBS draft profiles and rankings a go watch film. The guy stone walls pass rushers, bullies d linemen in the run game, can pull, can slide off a double team better than anyone in this draft and get to the second level and push a lb back 10 yards. All I can say is go watch some film, then come talk to me.

 

[fishspill]

If Werner is the guy that falls down to #18, I have no problem picking him, frustrating though it may be to the board.
