I'm getting less interested in Ealy for the Chiefs. Don't think he has a place in our defense.

But hey, I said the same thing about Hali.

UT OT Ja'Wuan James said Michael Sam was the best DE he played against this yr.

sounds like colt lyerla said all of the right things. I really hope he meant it and can have a successful career. he could be a pro bowler by year 2 in the chiefs offense. I've never seen a tight end run like him in the open field.

Too stiff, IMO. He is a perfect fit as a 4-3 DE but he isn't quite athletic enough to play 3-4 OLB. He might be able to follow Justin Smith's footsteps and pack on weight and become a dominant 3-4 DE, but he doesn't have the natural speed to power conversion that Smith has so I don't know how good he'll be in that role. As for now though, he's a 4-3 DE.

I like this thread.

**** Sac.

He's just gotta go undrafted. I can't see any team drafting Colt Lyerla.

Cocaine's just a world of hurt, and the guy needs help, not millions of dollars and world-class pressure.

You ever go into a bar and everyone just looks like they are missing a chromosome?

I'm glad the short bus let you out at the correct stop.

(No offense to your thread Direckshun. You know I think you're aces for your draft proclivities. And I think it's nice you've become the Draft Planet's Farmer Ted.)

Johnny Manziel
5' 11 and 3/4" (expected)
205 (good)
9 and 7/8" hands (great)

Teddy Bridgewater
6' 2 and 1/4" (good)
214 (decent)
9 and 1/4" hands

Blake Bortles
6'5" (dumb)
232 (fat)
9 and 3/8" hands (inaccurate)

ROFL

Neither of us are "experts" but I'd like to think we know a little something when we watch a lot of these guys play often enough. :D

He looks like a guard to me, that's why I asked.

See, I thought Hali could make the transition. Why? Because he played all over the line at Penn State. The guy proved he could move wherever the team needed him.

I had no idea he'd be as good a 3-4 OLB as he's become but I wasn't one of the ones that thought he was a lost cause.

There's so many things to like about Kony Ealy. I really think they would have to find a place for him if he were the target at #23.

Players like that seem to be ones who are so talented, you take them and fit your scheme to them not vice versa

Power to you, brother. YOLO.

God, Bortles looks amazing.

2014 NFL Combine: Weigh-In Recap - Offensive Linemen
By Charlie Campbell

The consensus top-rated offensive lineman, Texas A&M left tackle Jake Matthews, checked in at 6-foot-5, 308-pounds with 33 3/8-inch arms. The height and weight are good numbers, and Matthews should have the ability to gain 10 pounds once he enters an NFL strength and conditioning program. His arms are a little short of ideal, but that shouldn't hold him back as a pro. It was good for Matthews that he didn't measure in smaller than his listed measurements from Texas A&M (6-5, 305).

Auburn left tackle Greg Robinson (6-5, 332) checked in 12 pounds heavier than his listed weight and at the exact height. As long as the extra weight isn't bad weight, Robinson should excel in the Combine drills because he has shown a rare combination of size and speed. With 35-inch arms, Robinson has the length block the edge as well. There are already projections of him passing Matthews as the first tackle selected, and that could become more common after the Combine.

There are some who believe that Alabama tackle Cyrus Kouandjio could rise up draft boards from the Combine. Kouandjio is a good athlete with nearly ideal measurements. At the weigh-in, he checked in at 6-foot-6, 322-pounds with long 35 5/8-inch arms. Kouandjio has the strength and athleticism to be a star in the Combine field work. Don't be surprised if he is a hot prospect in a week's time.

Both of the Tennessee offensive tackles showed excellent size at the weigh-in. Left tackle Antonio Richardson (6-6, 336) and right tackle Ju'wuan James (6-6, 311) both have 35-inch arms. Richardson enters the Combine as a potential first-round pick, while James could go early on Day 2.

Michigan left tackle Taylor Lewan measured out as 6-foot-7 and 309 pounds. Those are good numbers that are nearly identical to Eric Fisher (6-7, 306) last year. The only bad number for Lewan was short arms at 33 7/8 inches. Lewan looks steady as the third-rated offensive tackle in this draft class.

Stanford guard David Yankey (6-5, 315), who has 34-inch arms, has just about quality numbers for a guard. He should fit as a man or zone blocker in the NFL. If Yankey has a strong Combine, he could put himself in contention to be a late first-round pick.

Xavier Su'a-Filo (6-4, 307) definitely fits the body type of a guard. He played both tackle and guard at UCLA, but for the NFL, he would be best on the inside. The Bruins listed u'a-Filo at 6-foot-5, 315 pounds, so he's a little smaller than advertised. That only serves to reinforce the move to the inside.

USC center Marcus Martin (6-3, 320) is very heavy for a center. If he can show quickness and athletic ability in the field drills, that could help give his stock a boost. If Martin proves to be a slow plodder, he may have to move inside to guard.

Two tackles are in the running to be this year's Justin Pugh. He was a first-round pick of the Giants in the 2013 NFL Draft after being an undersized left tackle for Syracuse. Notre Dame's Zack Martin (6-4, 308) and Nevada's Joel Bitonio (6-4, 302) are nearly identical in size. Martin has very short arms, 32 7/8 inches, but that didn't hold him back in an excellent 2013 season or Senior Bowl performance. If Martin and Bitonio perform well at the Combine, they could solidify a first-round and second-day grade, respectively.

North Carolina left tackle James Hurst was significantly smaller than what the Tar Heels listed him at. Hurst was (6-5, 296) was two inches shorter and almost 15 pounds lighter than what North Carolina billed him as (6-7, 310). His arm length, 33 3/4 inches, is on the short side for tackles. Hurst broke his left leg in the Tar Heels' bowl game against Cincinnati, so he won't be a full participant in the Combine. Sources have told WalterFootball.com that they were projecting Hurst to the third round, but slipping to Day 3 is possible as Hurst has the body type more like a guard than a tackle.
