Combine should be used to validate tape. Not only the correlation between NFL success, but there are also thresholds an athlete needs to hit to be athletic enough for the NFL.So true, the combine is just a tool in the process.
One that that shouldn’t be overvalued OR undervalued as there is some correlation to NFL success based on certain numbers.

Spot on. I still can't believe the Metcalf kid ran a 4.33 when I watched him it didn't seem like he played that fast.Combine should be used to validate tape. Not only the correlation between NFL success, but there are also thresholds an athlete needs to hit to be athletic enough for the NFL.

Straight line speed really. I dont see him as a #1 WR in the NFL. Steelers may be a good fit as a deep decoy opposite JuJu.Spot on. I still can't believe the Metcalf kid ran a 4.33 when I watched him it didn't seem like he played that fast.

I wouldnt draft him in the first round
Those guys move far more fluidly on the field than Metcalf doesNot saying Metcalf is a lock or anything, but can he not be the next Mike Evans? Or even Alshon Jeffery...There can definitely be a successful WR that is physically dominant and not a technician route runner.

That's prolly how they do it in CaliThe best way to analyze the draft is simply sort the 40 times and then you’ll know unequivocally who the best players are.
I usually watch around 4 games worth of snaps on each player I am interested in seeing in a poition of need. So this year will be RT,S,DT,DE and maybe some slot WR Plenty of YT vids with compete games worth of snaps for majority.Most people here would draft based on 3 minute YouTube highlight videos.
To be fair it is for all teams about 10% weight in their evaluations.I love how people like to pretend the Combine doesn't matter yet all 32 NFL teams show up to it every year.
Oh I know. Film matters the most. The Combine is a confirmation/validation process and sometimes a prompt for re-evaluation. The Combine is still very, very valuable to football decision makers.To be fair it is for all teams about 10% weight in their evaluations.
That is, unequivocally, the best way to find great football players. Once the combine is over, my personal board is set.The best way to analyze the draft is simply sort the 40 times and then you’ll know unequivocally who the best players are.
