Some teams likely benefit from bad player's bad combine/pro-day

[xwalker]

The teams that draft these players likely get good deals because of issues the players had with times or comments at the combine or pro-days.

Safety Rapp
Pass Rusher Ferguson
Pass Rusher Polite

If Rapp just didn't run the forty, Ferguson didn't run the 3-cone/SS and Polite didn't answer media questions, they all likely would have been drafted earlier just based on game footage.

Players with similar issues:
Rapp - Kam Chancellor
Ferguson - Terrell Suggs
Polite - Charles Haley

And some teams likely hurt themselves by drafting the athleticism someone showed out at the combine in lieu of what the tape says.
