NFL Combine Thread

Athleticism doesn't matter an iota for running backs. Could be nice to find a diamond in the rough...sure...say Aaron Jones from UTEP a few years back, but then you also have Phil Lindsey, Dalvin Cook, Elijah McGuire, etc that are productive and are all below average to terrible testing athletes.

Aaron Jones was not a diamond in the rough. He was CUSA best back for 2 years on a TERRIBLE UTEP squad.

Aaron Jones was not a diamond in the rough. He was CUSA best back for 2 years on a TERRIBLE UTEP squad.

He was a 5th Round pick.

 

[Drewny1]

He was a 5th Round pick.

Yea because he played in CUSA. Put him in a P5 conference and he goes to a higher round

Willis just earned some money coming in +6.1 in height.

How? He was listed at 6'4. Even though i knew he wasn't 6'4 and he was listed at 6'2 coming out of hs and at uf.

Picking up blocks..fighting off DL in the backfield..it matters

Not as much. It's about the lower half that makes the block. You drive a guy with your legs not your arms.

 

[Number1CanesFan]

For the same reason they make offensive linemen jump at the Combine. They want to see who is a physical beast who might be a diamond in the rough with good coaching. It doesn't matter, though, he ran a bad 40.

Who ran a bad forty? Certainly not Homer.

 

[6ix Natty's]

Mike Jack has great size at CB. If he runs in the 4.4 range he will go 1-2 round.

Ain't no way he's running 4.4. Artie Burns was an elite track guy and ran 4.46. Mike will be lucky to run sub 4.60

 

[6ix Natty's]

What order will the Six canes be drafted this year?

I predict the following:

1. J Jackson
2. M. Jackson
3. Homer
4. Willis
5. Quan
6. Redwine

All go before round 5

1. Joe Jackson
2. Willis
3. Jaquan
4. Mike
5. Homer
6. Redwine

 

[Poptimus]

Who ran a bad forty? Certainly not Homer.

Definitely not Homer, I was referring to Alex Barnes who put up 34 reps on the bench.

NFL Draft & Combine Profile - Joe Jackson

Sheesh Michael jackson, at that frame he may just move to safety in the league. Regardless he got some long arms , hands and wingspan for a corner for sure. If he runs well those are freakish measurables for a corner

Remember debating with me about Joe Jackson and Michael Jackson.
Go check their draft profiles right now and look at what analysts are saying. Almost identical to what I said.

 

[Coach Macho]

Mike Jack has great size at CB. If he runs in the 4.4 range he will go 1-2 round.

He's not gonna run anywhere near that.
And he has slow feet.

 

[Coach Macho]

In most years Willis and Jackson would be 1st round picks. This years DL class is arguably the best ever.

Nah. Willis MAYBE but Jackson doesn't have 1st round ability. He has a 1st round body though.

 

[nystateofmind]

Nah. Willis MAYBE but Jackson doesn't have 1st round ability. He has a 1st round body though.

People will be surprised how far Jackson slips.

 

[RaisingCane26]

Willis is the only player that has a shot at 1st round and unfortunately this class is *** deep with DT’s. MJ will probably go late 2nd or 3rd. He has great makeup speed but consistently got beat inside way too many times this season.

 

[6ix Natty's]

People will be surprised how far Jackson slips.

You never know, teams fall in love with measurables all the time.

 

[TriStarCane]

M Jack has slow feet and gets lost in coverage. He’s a press man corner body type that plays better in zone. 3rd day pick

 

[TrueFloridian]

Nah. Willis MAYBE but Jackson doesn't have 1st round ability. He has a 1st round body though.

It depends on his combine. If he runs a 4.7 or better with a 35 or better vert it might still happen. He’s had consistent production for 3 years with 22 career sacks. He would’ve been a double digit sack guy this season if he wasn’t banged up. His measurables so far look enticing compared to Polite and Burns. It only takes one team.

 

[jkaz1]

Yeah, it should be a nomination, anyway.

you have won the dumbest post of year.

 

[jkaz1]

Agreed.

I think Willis will go in the first, Jackson the third sounds about right - shouldn't be lower than that.

Nah. Willis MAYBE but Jackson doesn't have 1st round ability. He has a 1st round body though.
