Title: NFL Combine: Winners & Losers So Far
Post by: Marshal Dillon on February 22, 2015, 02:15:09 PM
Interesting.


WINNERS

Quote
Wide receivers
The cream rose to the top.

The consensus top three — Kevin White, Amari Cooper and DeVante Parker, whatever order you have them in — all performed exceptionally well in almost every way.


LOSERS


Quote
Running backs

In what is perceived to be a deep class, the cream didn’t rise to the top the way it could have.

Georgia's Todd Gurley remains injured, and he reportedly would not let doctor

s inspect his torn ACL, although he is expected to return to the medical recheck in Indy next month for that. Wisconsin's Melvin Gordon ran two solid but hardly blazing 40-yard dash times, which could keep him out of Round 1. Indiana's Tevin Coleman broke his foot in training prior to the combine and could not work out.


Quote
Auburn WR Sammie Coates

There was talk of Coates being one of the fastest players in Indy, but his 4.43 40 was the 12th-fastest among wideouts. That means that Coates’ other shortcomings, including the consistency of his hands and his route running, are magnified.

Haven't been following the combine closely, but I just noticed on al.com that Xavier Dickson ran a 4.74 in the 40 -- a time which compares favorable with a lot of the RBs.  Thought that was pretty good.
