Merril Hoge clocked Trent Richardson at 4.4 today, reportedly upset, thought he'd be a 4.3 guy

Gil Brandt clocked Tannehill at at 4.61

Gilmore would be a really nice fit at corner, but I don't think that position is a big enough need to go round 1. Ingram will probably be long gone before they pick. Allen and Watkins are probably the main targets.
we have 1 cb on our roster who's ever started a season, and he'll be 32 this season.

you could argue for NT, OG, maybe RB being bigger needs, but that's about it, and you don't want to trap yourself in a "Need" draft strategy (see: Edwards, Troy). if gilmore is the best player available, at a position of obvious need, be nuts to go in a different direction. that said, doubt he falls.

San Diego State Pro Day:
http://blogs.nfl.com/2012/03/25/lindley ... e-pro-day/

Quote:
QB Ryan Lindley (6-3 3/4, 226) put on a show, completing 67 of 73 passes on the day despite not working with any of his own receivers. Lindley is very smart and has good arm strength. He should be a fourth-round draft pick.


might not be a bad idea to grab a guy later on

Quote:
Miles Burris, LB (6-2 1/8, 232) — Burris ran 4.67 and 4.68 40-yard dashes, had a 37 1/2-inch vertical leap, 9-11 broad jump, 4.20 shuttle and 6.81 three-cone drill. He is a very fluid athlete and should be a sixth- or seventh-round pick.


this guy has a ton of energy and smarts. Got to watch SDSU a few times this season and I saw him before I knew who he was. I'd love to see us grab him.

Virginia Tech:
http://blogs.nfl.com/2012/03/26/eyes-on ... h-pro-day/

Quote:
Danny Coale, WR (5-11 7/8, 200) — Coale ran a 4.37 and 4.39 in the 40, posted a 37-inch vertical and 10-3 broad jump, and had times of 4.09 seconds in the short shuttle and 6.63 in the three-cone drill. Coale had a good position workout. With so many wide receivers in the draft, Coale projects as a likely selection in the sixth or seventh round.

Jayron Hosley, CB (5-11, 182) — Despite the fast running surface, Hosley kept his times from the combine. Hosley did post a 34 1/2-inch vertical and 10-1 broad jump. Hosley did the position drills, displaying good ball skills, quickness and recognition in the passing game. Size is a concern given all of the tall pass catchers that populate NFL receiving corps. However, Hosley’s quickness makes up for that lack of height, and that helps him project to being selected somewhere in the middle of the second round.


a few more interesting guys. Hosley, I guess every knows him, but Coale might not be a bad name to keep an eye on.

Louisiana-Lafayette: http://blogs.nfl.com/2012/03/25/green-b ... lafayette/

Quote:
TE Ladarius Green (6-5 7/8, 239) Green looked very smooth and fluid in position drills, and he caught every ball thrown to him. He recorded a 35.5-inch vertical leap, 10-6 broad jump, and 17 reps in the bench press. He has a chance to be selected at the end of the third round.


Green's a guy that jebrick got onto my radar in a big way, and I can see why. I cannot for the life of me see the Steelers drafting him, but man is this guy a red zone threat we could use

After being named the North Team's Most Outstanding Player in the Senior Bowl, Utah State linebacker Bobby Wagner had been expected to continue his rise up draft boards with an impressive showing at the 2012 Scouting Combine.

A bout with pneumonia instead landed him in an Arizona hospital and he wasn't able to perform drills for scouts until today's Pro Day workout. After an impressive all-around performance that would have ranked among the Combine's best among linebackers, his stock could once again be on the rise.

Wagner showed very good speed and incredible overall explosiveness throughout the workout. He was clocked at in the high 4.4s to low 4.5s on most watches, with a low time being 4.45 seconds. That mark would have beaten Cal's Mychal Kendricks' 4.45 time at the Combine. Wagner also matched Kendricks' 39.5" vertical jump, which led all linebackers at the Combine and posted a jaw-dropping 11'0 broad jump that not only beat all linebackers tested in Indianapolis (beating Kendricks' position-best effort by five inches), it was just one inch behind the best efforts put forth at the 2012 by any prospect. Georgia Tech wide receiver Stephen Hill and Central Florida cornerback Josh Robinson recorded broad jumps of 11'1".

Having not attended the Combine, Wagner's official height, weight, arm and hand sizes were an important piece of information to scouts. The Utah State linebacker measured in at 6-0 (3/8) and 235 pounds. His arm length was 33 inches. His wingspan was 78.5 inches. Wagner's hand was measured at 9.5 inches.

Wagner is currently NFLDraftScout.com's No. 6 rated outside linebacker. He finished tied for fourth in the country in total tackles this season (147) while playing middle linebacker for the Aggies and could remain at this position in the NFL. As the athleticism he demonstrated today proves, however, Wagner has the agility, speed and explosiveness to play outside in the 4-3, as well.
