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. |

By the way, it should be clear to others that I dont think Aaron Donald fits in a 3-4 defense. I understand that others on this messageboard feel the opposite. I dont think it benefits any of us to repeat the same argument ad Nauseam.
I have rest my case regarding Aaron Donald. You all are welcome to repeat your arguments if you choose. I would be happy to continue discussing everything other than Aaron Donald. |

I really don't see the chiefs going WR for a big reason. It's a heavy WR market. There are supposed to be a few good WR FA's, along with a very deep WR draft. If you can get a 1st rd talent WR in a later round, then why get one in first? I heard this year may break the record of 7 wr's in the 1st. You wouldn't want say the 5th best WR over the 2nd best CB, S, NT or even TE when they arent as deep, right?

If Donald is the best interior pass rusher in this class, and you have the opportunity to take him, you adjust your subpackages to utilize the talent. This team, as has been pointed out already, takes more snaps in subs than in base. And, for the record, Tamba Hali played LDE in a 43 base and registered 9 sacks his rookie year.

I'd be just fine if we drafted Aaron Donald. Dude showed that he has freakish god given talent...maybe not on the level of Poe, but close.
You put Donald, Poe and Bailey on the DL and rotate in Catapano, Powe and Devito and teams would have REAL TROUBLE doubling anyone. That means Houston and Hali get to pin those ears back and the secondary gets to feast like kings on all the ducks. |

if we drafted Donald I wouldn't mind switching to a 4-3 base set. hali as an end. lets be honest, he's far too slow to be a 3-4 olb at this point in his career. so hali LE, poe, Donald. sign jared allen out of FA, while finding/developing a RE. Houston at SAM, DJ in the middle, then just find a WILL. sounds like a pretty nasty front 7 without doing a whole lot of work.
I feel that would maximize the talent we have. bailey could drop his weight back down, he looks like a natural 4-3 LE. catapano would be a natural 4-3, 3 tech behind Donald. DeVito would add nice depth behind poe. hali could play RE opposite side bailey If we couldn't sign jared allen. I do kind of wonder about Houston at SAM though. |

I'm sorry but there is no way we can switch to a 4-3 our personnel would need a total overhaul.

DTs: Powell, Poe, Howard, Bailey DEs: Hali, Houston, Catapano, Bailey (strong side sub) MLB: Derrick Johnson, Nico Johnson The secondary would remain the same. The only thing we would need to pick up is some SOLBs and WOLBs and there are some of those available in FA, more than there are any 3-4 OLBs. And of course, our FS situation sucks. Everything else would be fine. |
