I was a little early with this. Combine is next week.

It starts this week, so not too bad.

Starts Tuesday. Andy speaks Wednesday and Veach speaks Thursday is what I’ve read.

LET'S DO THIS THING BABY

**** Official 2018 NFL Draft Combine Thread ****
 

NFLN is rerunning the 2017 combine now & at midnight.

It’s on all week too. I can’t remember if Mahomes threw at the combine. I’m sure Hunt was there.

Barkley and Chubb each hit 29 reps on the bench press today.

That's insane for running backs.

Yeah this rb class is crazy stacked

I’d almost cut west and take one

I would, for sure.

I hope Spencer Ware returns to 100% but I wouldn't risk it, especially since the Chiefs have an extra 4th rounder this year.

Early word is Billy Price tore his pec

If he slides to our first pick, I'd at least consider it.

If Ronald Jones is sitting at 54, you have to think about it.

Eh, I think it’ll be like Sidney Jones. KC takes him in round 3

Will Hernandez 5.14 40 and 37 bench reps. 348 lbs. This guy is going to be so good

Braden Smith 6”6 303 lbs 35 bench reps 5.15 40

Of course there are 3-4 players who could start day 1 for us at LG but it comes in a year where we have no first round pick.

Because Chiefs

Orlando Brown went from 1st rd prospect to 3rd at best.

14 bench reps and a 5.86 40 LMAO

WOW

Desmond Harrison 6’6” 290 lbs just ran a 4.75

Good ****ing god. How can a 6'8 345 guy only bench 225 14 times? Is he actively trying to tank his stock?

Quentin Nelson is a top 3 pick. That guy is going to skull **** defensive lineman for 10 years.

The Chiefs should draft an OL with their later 3rd rd pick or 4th. This is a deep class

Offensive linemen running the 40 is a pointless drill.

The one year that I would love to draft a guard in the 1st round.....we don't have a pick.

With how many OL go downfield to block, I don't think it's completely worthless.

Raiders lost their coin flip, they’ll pick 10th instead of 9th.

40 yards downfield?

Saquon just jumped 41” goddamn.

I’ll be sick if Denver gets him

I wouldn't be surprised if Cleveland takes him at #1. They can draft a QB at #4 if they want to. They'll be one there.

Oklahoma OT Orlando Brown measured 6-foot-7 7/8 and 345 pounds at the NFL Scouting Combine.

It's been a Combine to forget for Brown, the son of the late Orlando Brown Sr., who played in the NFL for the Browns and Ravens. Brown came to Indy as a potential first- or second-round pick next month, but he's done nothing but hurt his stock. He ran a molasses-slow 5.85 forty, bench-pressed 225 pounds just 14 times, and posted a dreadful 19.5-inch vertical. His 2.00-second 10-yard split was the worst in Combine history. Coaches also got after him for loafing during on-field drills. Brown's stock is in an absolute free-fall.

I doubt he makes it out of the top 4.

All of the teams in the top 4 could use him. No way he makes it to Denver at #5.

I could really see Cleveland taking him at #1 and then taking Mayfield or Darnold at #4 if either one of them are there. And they will be unless the Colts trade out of #3.

I don't think he makes it past Indy.

Just my philosophy, but **** taking a RB in the top 5 of a draft. Unless it’s like the 2013 class, no thanks.

Even then, Le’Veon Bell was taken in the 2nd round that year...

He just ran an unofficial 4.41 40. Dude is going in the top 5 for sure.

He will, but I wouldn’t do it. There’s just too many examples of star RBs being taken in the 2nd or 3rd rounds. More than 1st rounders.

Given the injury frequency at that position too, there’s just no way I’m using that premium of a pick on RB. Take the other BPA and draft Guice, Jones, or Michel at the top of R2 if you want a back.

Someone will get a solid prospect a bit later dudes that are 6'8 with really long arms are going to struggle with a lot of reps.

He might legitimately be the best RB prospect in my lifetime. Dude blows Zeke Elliott and Leonard Fournette out of the water.

I’m fine passing on him for a defensive boss bc this RB class is stacked, but damn if Denver gets him I will be so pissed.

He’s an all-pro waiting to happen.

West is an Andy pet.

I keep thinking they find a way to move into the first round. How? IDK.

Auburn G Braden Smith met with the Kansas City Chiefs.

The Chiefs are without a first-round pick, and they'll presumably be shopping for DL and DB help with their earlier picks, but it's no surprise that Smith intrigues them. The 6-foot-6, 315-pounder is coming off an outstanding career at Auburn. He recorded 35 reps in the bench press at the NFL Scouting Combine.

Good. At least Chiefs know they need a LG.

Probably a couple dozen 345 guys on CP who couldn't bench 225 once.

So is everyone at the combine also a rapper?

How long are his arms ? Some guys with long arms can't do as many as those with short arms.

The Chiefs need to draft an OL with a top 100 pick. The value is too good not to.

Jordan Akins
Mark Andrews
Durham Smythe

Chiefs meeting with all these TE’s today

I really, really like Braden Smith. I just can't justify a guard in round 2 this year, and that's even if he lasts that long now.

Yeah from the few mins I watched in and out of work today (seriously, **** working fridays why did I let these 3 pts talk me into working on a Friday) the ol looks good

Nelson is good

Hopefully Billy Price falls to them in round 3. I’d that.

Sometimes they get pretty far down.

Someone post that clip of the OL sprinting past Steve Bono on a bootleg tia
I just can't get myself to like OL players from Auburn.

OL drills are fun to watch but mean very little. Their play in games means more to me.

Having that QB makes all the difference.

Barkley's combine numbers are good but he isn't a freak of nature like Bo Jackson or Herschel Walker.

Though his 10 yard split is damn impressive for his size.

Josh Allen 4.76 40. Dorsey’s gotta boner

It's kind of poetic, though.

After years of bitching about the possibility of drafting interior linemen instead of QBs in the first round, we sacrificed a 1st rounder for a QB and now WANT to draft interior line in the first round.

NFLCombine Key Measurements thread...

187. #Colorado CB Isaiah Oliver
Height: 6-0 2/8
Weight: 201
Hand: 9 6/8
Arm: 33 4/8
Wingspan: 80 5/8

Damn

Holy woof. Not impressed with Lamar Jackson at all.

Adam Schefter

@AdamSchefter
Michigan DT Maurice Hurst, projected as a potential first-round pick, was diagnosed today with a heart condition, league sources told ESPN. Hurst will not go through combine drills and will undergo further testing this week.

Ouch. That ****ing sucks.

LMAO

Hopefully it’s nothing serious but he somehow manages to fall to 54.

This happened to Reggie Ragland. Maybe we get lucky.

Lol
Why? He'd be a shit fit in this Defense.

I disagree. We’re in sub packages 70% of the time and we need another interior pass rusher other than Jones.

That's great, but I don't think he fits the profile. Shorter and really doesn't have ideal arm length. Not that great of a run stuffer, either.

So there’s no place for a skill set similar to Donald in this defense?

Not every undersized guy is Aaron Donald.

That’s not what I’m saying.

I understand that he doesn’t typically fit the profile, but he’s a 1st round talent at the 3-Tech and if he fell to 54 we’d be silly not to consider it given the fact that we’re in sub packages 70% of the time and our interior pass rush is shit outside of Jones.

Okay than.

At any rate, this Defense has been absolutely skull****ed by the runs inside over the last 2 years and they need to get some guys that can wall off the los

Now with that said, I don't dislike Mo Hurst. I just don't think that's what we need right now.

I agree I just think we need both.

Did you see how shit our DL looked when Jones went out? No interior pass rush and no disruption/penetration agains the run.

Fair enough. I feel priority should be a wall kind of guy.

If they can fill that need in FA or something, hey cool take Mo.

Thoughts on Deon Cain or Equanimeous Brown?

Also wonder if Tanoh will be lined up at DE on 3rd down with Ford at OLB.

We should draft Shaquem Griffin. He'd NEVER get called for defensive holding!

What round is he projected to go in?

What round is Coutee expected to go in?

He'd instantly be the best linebacker on the Chiefs.

Somewhere around the 3rd-4th would be my guess.

I don't think he's a 1st round talent. Hurst is the most overrated DT in this class. He's a 3rd round developmental IMO, and now he might be a 6th round guy.

Well you’re certainly in the minority there.
