The Combine's Here, Bitch!
http://www.arrowheadpride.com/2014/2...-list-workouts
2014 NFL Combine schedule: TV channel, online streaming, invite list, workouts and more By Matt Conner on Feb 20 2014, 10:12a he road to the NFL Draft is longer in 2014 than any other offseason given the league's decision to push it back a few weeks to May 8-10. For the next three months, draftniks will circle around prospects like hawks, analyzing their every move and weighing the pros and cons of each player. The process starts en masse this week with the start of the 2014 NFL Combine in Indianapolis. If you love the Draft, then this is a big week for you. For those who are new to the NFL Combine, it's a seven-day event broken up into four-day shifts for each position group (quarterbacks to punters). Each group comes to Indy for four days to meet with representatives from each NFL team for medical assessments, interviews and a number of workouts. It's termed the Underwear Olympics for that reason, as teams fall in and out of love with prospects based on 40-yard dash times and vertical leaps. The quick guide to the Combine
The Combine workout schedule Here are the days the actual workouts for each position group: Saturday, Feb. 22: Tight Ends, Offensive Linemen, Special Teams Sunday, Feb.23: Quarterbacks, Running Backs, Wide Receivers Monday, Feb. 24: Defensive Line, Linebackers Tuesday, Feb. 25: Defensive Backs There are four groups of players arriving as shown above. Each group has four days of events. Day 1: Travel to Indianapolis* ~ Registration ~ Hospital Pre-Exam & X-rays ~ Orientation ~ Interviews Day 2: Measurements ~ Medical Examinations ~ Media ~ Interviews Day 3: NFLPA Meeting ~ Psychological Testing ~ PK/ST Workout ~ Bench Press ~ Interviews Day 4: On-Field Workout (timing, stations, skill drills) ~ Departure from Indianapolis With the first arrivals coming on Wednesday, that puts the first day of workouts on Saturday. The players invited Every top college football player will likely be in attendance in Indianapolis, even if some of the top athletes won't participate in the workouts. The NFL invited over 300 players to attend. Teddy Bridgewater to Jadeveon Clowney, your favorite college players will likely be there. Who is eligible to be invited to the Combine? Basically, seniors without college eligibility left and those who have declared early. And how are players selected to the Combine? Read this: Quote:
The workouts The most important one is not a workout -- it's the interview. Teams will have the opportunity to interview players where they'll get about 15 minutes with them. With so little time, the questions have to be precise and all have a purpose. The second most important item there is getting the medical check-up -- essentially confirming that the player is healthy or checking out previous injuries. Team doctors will want this information so the GMs and coaches can make an informed decision. Some of the other workouts, via Big Blue View: Quote:
NFL Network will televise some of it. NFL.com will stream the action. KCChiefs.com will have full video of Andy Reid and John Dorsey's press conferences but will not stream them live. |

It is as simple as this, Donald is the type of player who doesn't fit certain measurables that talent evaluators use but if you just watch the guy play it removes any doubts or concerns about him. The thing is like Beckham he might very well be off the board @23.

can you name a player of his size playing in a 3-4 defense? I think scheme fit is important.

chiefs have already acquired players to fit the scheme of a 3-4 Defense. Are you suggesting that the team get rid of all those guys just to fit a 4-3 for Donald? That would require a rebuild, and the chiefs brass have already stated they are sticking with the 3-4. |

Bailey actually has started several games for the Chiefs at DE when either DeVito or TJax were down with injury, and he started the game against the Chargers as well. |

Also, since he is suggesting a hybrid d, would that make Aaron Donald a role player or a starter? Would you be ok drafting a player in the 1st round who is only playing limited snaps? |

We don't sit in a base 3-4 set every down anyway. I think Donald is a 43 under tackle but if the chiefs font office thinks he's that talented (he is) they shouldn't hesitate to draft him |

It's like if Clowney were there when we pick. He's obviously best suited to play 43 end, but you don't pass in him because of that.
You take him and fit him in your defense |

I'm pretty sure the chiefs brass have indicated that they look for scheme fit. For example, they like tall corners. |
