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. |

I still have the feeling that we are taking WR first. I think they know that WR is by far the best player available in rd 1. All of those guys are better than the DL at 23 except possibly Donald.
WR will be an immediate playmaker and they need that after not drafting flashy players last year that played. Our WR core is a top 3 weakness on the team. Easy decision to take Beckham, Cooks or Lee. Too much talent to possibly pass up there.

I personally would go about it by trying to find some depth at OLB. Hali is getting older and his contract is large. Houston is on his last contract yr. We saw how the pass rush was effected when they were injured. I would want someone who can come in and provide depth at that position, and that individual should still be able to do what you are wanting to do (i.e. pass rush). That OLB can be a role player who has the ability to eventually be a full time starter. I personally dont see Aaron Donald as a fulltime starter in a 3-4 defense. He doesnt have the length I'm looking for at DE or OLB, IMO. |

We do need to start looking for halis replacement, but you are looking for more pass rush from the DL right now.
I also don't think you necessarily are always gonna get a full time starter at the end of the first round, or at least in his first year. |

We need a pass rusher from the 5 tech or the 3 tech.
(Sheldon Richardson would have done it ) |

I'm really hoping that a lot of QBs go early this year. We need as many players to get pushed down to us as possible.

I don't think we need to worry. There are over 40 players who are first rd talents this year. Plenty of good WR's and pass rushers will be there in early round 2

Holy ****ing surprise Batman, more idiocy! We don't align in an odd front exclusively even with our 3-4. Nobody does, not even Romeo. Because of that, we typically do have one of our defensive tackles aligning in a 3 in base personnel grouping (3-4). Which is the exact same position that those players Sir Robert mentioned play quite extensively. Additionally, KC almost always uses a 1 and 3 tech from our sub package. Since the NFL is so geared towards passing, this 3 technique gets quite a few snaps. Crazy, I know!

Clarke: 4.77 40 time Ealy: 4.91 40 time. I can see Clarke adding 15-20 pounds and becoming a 5-tech with above average explosion. Needs work on his technique and improving his ability to turn the corner though, gets washed out too easily due to his height when he rushes around the edge. He does flash the strength and ability to use his length to dominate though. |

Forgot who said it, but one of the analysts stated that he could slot as many as 45 players in the 1 st round this year.

how so?
looking more closely I actually see 7 players rushing. Quote:
I do, thanks for asking. Do you watch the games? Quote:
Since this individual has a lack of words, can someone else enlighten me on what is ignorant about it? here is my statement below: Quote:
11 defensive players on the field - 5 players mentioned = 6 remaining players. Chiefs tend not to use other linebackers or lineman, which would only leave defensive backs (corners, safties). Seems pretty accurate to me. A lot. is that easier for you to understand? That is a propoganda technique called, "nitpicking or splitting hairs" I dont have all the answers. I am here to learn. That is the benefit of a messageboard, to share ideas and gain understanding. Quote:
This can also be thought of "misrepresenting my position." I disagree with your opinion. This is a propoganda technique called, "Ad hominen, or condescension" |
