[B]NFL | Stinson's Pro Day results[/B]
Fri, 24 Mar 2006 09:14:12 -0800

Raymond Savage, of Savage Sports Management, has confirmed to KFFL Jackson State OT Albert Stinson measured in at 6-5 1/4 and weighed 331 pounds, along with an arm length of 32 3/8 and a hand length of 10 1/8 at his team's Pro Day workout Wednesday, March 22. Stinson ran the 40-yard dash in a time of 5.20 and 5.23 seconds, 1.83 and 1.89 seconds in the 10-yard dash, had a short shuttle time of 4.70 and a 8.05 time in the three-cone drill. He also had a 26 1/2-inch vertical jump, a long jump of 8 feet and had 28 bench presses.

decent showing for a big guy. He'll still probably go undrafted.

[B]NFL | Avant's Pro Day results[/B]
Fri, 24 Mar 2006 14:42:26 -0800

Gil Brandt, of NFL.com, reports Michigan WR Jason Avant (hand) measured a height of 6-0 1/2 and a weight of 209 pounds at his Pro Day. He ran the 40-yard dash twice with a time of 4.80 seconds, but it is possible the cast on his hand hurt his performance. He will run the 40-yard dash again in the near future. He ran the short shuttle in 4.19 seconds and the three-cone drill in 7.02 seconds while measuring a 35 1/2-inch vertical jump and a 10-foot-4 broad jump.

4.80 = OUCH. we'll see how he does on his re-do.

Gil Brandt, of NFL.com, reports Memphis RB DeAngelo Williams measured 5-9 and weighed 207 pounds at his Pro Day workout Friday, March 24. He had an exceptional workout. He ran his 40s in 4.40 seconds (with the wind) and 4.48 (against). He was wearing nubs, and he ran outdoors on a rubber track. He also ran the short shuttle in 4.10, the three-cone drill in 6.57 and the long shuttle in 10.61. In addition, he had a 34½-inch vertical jump and a 10-foot-9 broad jump. He caught the ball well during positional drills.

nothing surprising, which is good since he's already a first rounder.

Originally i think people expected him to run faster than a 4.55. He's still a solid hitter and 4.55 isn't terrible for him.

He also ran the short shuttle in 4.64 and the three-cone drill in 7.88. In addition, he had a 28-inch vertical jump, an 8-foot-10 broad jump and 20 bench presses.

heaviest OT i've seen so far... pretty tall too (though one guy this year is 6'10"). he actually improved his 40 time by 3/10s while also loading up an extra 15lbs. 20 bench presses is pretty bad for an OL guy with his size though. He'll probably still be undrafted, but there's a good chance of a camp invite, especially with a team (like the vikes) who like their O-linemen BIG.

great numbers for a FB, but most people have him listed as an RB, in which case the numbers aren't that great. He won't be drafted before the late 3rd round either way.

He ran the 40-yard dash with times of 4.41 seconds and 4.46 seconds while finishing the short shuttle in 4.15 seconds and the three-cone drill in 6.69 seconds. He measured a 33-inch vertical jump and a 9-foot-6 broad jump while completing 12 repetitions on the 225-pound bench press.

It's surprising that D'Qwell chose not to work out. Tapp tried to run again, but he's still slow :(.

J Williams had good, but not great numbers, but at 6'2"+ and close to 220lbs, its a bit on the HUGE size for CBs. I can't believe he only has a 33" vert though. still an obvious 1st rounder. The ONLY CB in his size/speed class is antonio cromartie (another obvious high pick despite a severe injury that cost him a year). Chijioke Onyenegecha also has the same height/weight, but runs a 4.55 (projected 5th round), and Marcus Maxley is 20lbs lighter, but is also 6'2" and a 4.48 guy (projected late 3rd/early 4th).

He stood on his vertical jump, long shuttle, and bench numbers from the NFL Combine. McPherson ran the short shuttle in 4.07 seconds, the long shuttle in 10.94 seconds, and the three-cone drill in 6.65 seconds.


All three of these guys put up somewhat crazy numbers, and all will be low picks.

J Hamilton - probably undrafted, but could go in the 7th, never paid attention to him, but VA Tech, so if someone actually has a good read on if he sucks or not, i'd like to hear it. If he goes undrafted, he's got better numbers than sean taylor did, with a fast stop/start and would definately be worth a look.

Will montgomery - C/OG prospect, late rounds (6-7), very athletic and probably the best OL value in the very late rounds. Fast enough that he could do spot work as a blocking TE immediately.

G McPherson - CB (near the 4th round) no one lives and dies by the 40 time as much as a CB. This guy has great shuttle and three cone times as well (same as tye hill) and a 41" vert. That means he should be able to get in position for a lot of picks or pass defenses and recover from double moves well.

After looking through the top CB picks times, I noticed Jonathan Joseph is 2/10ths slower on his shuttle and 3/10ths slower on his triangle than a guy with 4.3 speed should be, which raises some doubts for when he'll need to cover cuts instead of fly routes.

If anyone has watched these guys play for more than a few minutes (JH especially, but WM, GM, and J Joseph as well), I'd like to hear your comments on them.

[b]Dolphins | Team looking to meet with V. Young[/b]

the dolphins meeting with young is odd considering they don't pick until #16 and they just got culpepper (which means they probably can't trade up since they're mising a 2nd round pick). The only reason i can think of is young diving like rodgers did last year AND the dolphins thinking at that point he'd be the best value at that point AND betting that culpepper might not be ready or might have a shortened career. thats a lot of ands/ifs.

also, i'd like to say hi to Maryland WR Jo Jo Walker, his stats are similar to mine, good luck getting drafted at 5'8" and 165lbs.

[B]NFL | M. Robinson holding on to belief he can play quarterback[/B]
Sun, 26 Mar 2006 05:52:44 -0800

Bob Flounders, of the Patriots-News, reports Penn State QB Michael Robinson is clinging to the belief he can play quarterback in the NFL. Not all the NFL teams share the same opinion as the April 29 NFL Draft draws closer. "I feel like I have handled things pretty well. I feel like I'm on the right course," said Robinson. He auditioned for NFL people during Penn State's Pro Day in State College this month. "I think I did well," said the 6-2, 220-pound Robinson. Robinson, who is represented by agent Joel Segal, said the NFL's reaction to his immediate future is mixed. He will be drafted, he said he's heard as high as the second round, but he's not sure where he'll play. Some teams view him as a wide receiver, others as a third-down back.

i don't know who'd draft him in the 2nd or who'd let him be anything besides a 3rd string QB.

Gil Brandt, of NFL.com, reports Wake Forest RB Chris Barclay measured a height of 5-8 3/8 and a weight of 180 pounds at his Pro Day. Barclay ran the 40-yard dash with times of 4.38 seconds with the wind and 4.46 seconds against the wind while finishing the short shuttle in 4.09 seconds and the three-cone drill in 6.65 seconds. He measured a 40-inch vertical jump and a 10-foot broad jump while completing 16 repetitions on the 225-pound bench press.

those numbers would be great for a CB, much less an RB. He'll be drafted because of this workout (low rounds, probably near the 6th).

2005 stats:
218 rushes, 1127 yards (5.17ypc), 10 TDs
26 receptions, 159 yards
12 KO returns for 222 yards (18.5per), 3 solo tackles

4 year starter (46 games) averaging 1008 yards and 10 TDs a year with 100 yards receving.

He ran the 40-yard dash with times of 4.80 seconds and 4.90 seconds while finishing the short shuttle in 4.27 seconds and the three-cone drill in 7.25 seconds. He measured a 33 1/2-inch vertical jump and an 8-foot-10 broad jump while completing 25 repetitions on the 225-pound bench press.



M bernstein is the best blocking FB this draft, O Daniels is in the 9-12 range of TEs (will be drafted near the 5th). Orr is in the 3rd-4th round range. he's a tall fast guy (with TERRIBLE shuttle time) that's never really gotten it all together at once yet (and maybe he never will). Rowan put up a killer time, but even that probably won't be enough to get him drafted. He's way down the CB list, but anyone with a 4.3 has a good chance at a camp invite.

yeah, 40 times are really pretty flawed. Thats why so many track guys get in the NFL and just suck it up. Running in shorts is a lot different than running in pads while exhausted and trying to read an offense/defense on the fly while also getting pushed around. Slow mental reactions and limited football experience knocks most of the track guys out within the first two years.

Of course, sometimes you get guys like Moss who are also football players.

It's kind of ironic that most of the people in this list are there for 40 times, but in the workout blurbs they don't have video of the drills to watch or anything of the like, so all you get are heights weights and 40 times... which also accounts for the lack of OL/DL guys.

[B]Dolphins | Team will not tolerate contract holdouts[/B]
Mon, 27 Mar 2006 22:03:12 -0800

Jeff Darlington, of the Palm Beach Post, reports Miami Dolphins owner Wayne Huizenga will not be tolerant about contract holdouts. Huizenga said, "I personally am going to insist that that person we sign has got to be in camp to start. It doesn't do us any good to pick somebody and then not have them get to camp. That's going to be very important to us." He did not specifically name RB Ronnie Brown, who held out for the first three weeks of training camp in 2005, but did suggest that his late arrival helped lead to the team's 3-7 start.


THAT is a smart man. Contract holdouts typically lose the most important weeks of training camp (and their right to a good first impression), lose their position battles by default, and end up losing 8 weeks of what could have been a productive year. Ramsey's holdout (and the frustration it caused) very easily could have helped his current backup status, and its a pretty common story of stunted and late blooming careers. Of course, the holdout makes sense if its the only payday you'll be getting (total bust) or you get hit with a serious injury early on.... but usually its a squabble for 60-70k that can end up costing millions.

Savage said, "If you go back to what I said a few months ago, we were last in sacks, last in run defense, last in red-zone scoring. So anything that would help in those areas we would consider." It does not seem likely the team would go offense with their first pick, but Savage did not dismiss the idea. Texas QB Vince Young and USC RB LenDale White are two possibilities to be available for the Browns with their No. 12 overall draft choice.

[B]Bills | Ngata may not fit team's defensive scheme; may look elsewhere[/B]
Tue, 28 Mar 2006 06:04:50 -0800

Mark Gaughan, of the Buffalo News, reports the Buffalo Bills will not be able to address their needs on either the offensive or defensive line with the eighth overall pick in the NFL Draft in April. Oregon DT Haloti Ngata does not look like a good fit for the new defensive system being adopted by Bills head coach Dick Jauron. Several scouts and personnel directors from around the league say Ngata is not a fit for the "Tampa Cover 2" style, because he is a 345-pound lineman whose strength is occupying two gaps on the line. Other observers feel the No. 8 overall pick is too early to draft the second best offensive tackle in the draft, USC OT Winston Justice. The Bills may need to turn their attention to the secondary or linebacker. Bills general manager Marv Levy would not comment specifically on Ngata or other defensive line prospects, but he acknowledged the nose tackle can't be solely a hole-plugger.

[quote=That Guy][B]Bills | Ngata may not fit team's defensive scheme; may look elsewhere[/B]

Mark Gaughan, of the Buffalo News, reports the Buffalo Bills will not be able to address their needs on either the offensive or defensive line with the eighth overall pick in the NFL Draft in April. Oregon DT Haloti Ngata does not look like a good fit for the new defensive system being adopted by Bills head coach Dick Jauron. Several scouts and personnel directors from around the league say Ngata is not a fit for the "Tampa Cover 2" style, because he is a 345-pound lineman whose strength is occupying two gaps on the line. Other observers feel the No. 8 overall pick is too early to draft the second best offensive tackle in the draft, USC OT Winston Justice.

I'm really up on him too.

Ngata is more of a classic NT, which are hard to find. Someone with a 3-4 is going to love him.

holmgren (HC - seahawks ) said they'd probably be drafting a WR in the 3rd round or below today. darrel jackson (their #1 WR) is still out with a knee injury.

[B]Packers | Teams calling about the No. 5 draft pick[/B]
Fri, 31 Mar 2006 18:03:50 -0800

Tom Silverstein, writing for the Sporting News, reports Green Bay Packers general manager Ted Thompson has fielded inquiries from teams who are interested in obtaining the club's No. 5 draft pick and will probably consider options for moving back. He doesn't want to move too far and fall out of reach of the elite players, but he could drop two or three spots and still have a shot at Maryland TE Vernon Davis, a potential candidate for the Packers.


the 49ers and Panthers have/will also both meet privately with Safety prospect Darnell Bing.

[B]Dolphins | Team has private workout with S. Holmes[/B]
Sat, 1 Apr 2006 06:32:40 -0800

ESPN.com's Len Pasquarelli reports the Miami Dolphins held a private workout with Ohio State WR Santonio Holmes Friday, March 31. Holmes weighed in at 187 pounds, just one pound shy of his normal playing weight and that was important to note because teams had been concerned about Holmes' weight loss earlier this month. At his Pro Day workout March 9 on the Ohio State campus, Holmes had weighed just 179 pounds. Two weeks before that, at the NFL Combine sessions in Indianapolis, his official weight was 188 pounds. "I think what scouts didn't realize at the 'pro day' was that I had been fighting the flu for about a week," a relieved Holmes said after the session with Miami. In that workout Holmes was clocked between 4.32 and 4.36 seconds by most scouts. With Dolphins' general manager Randy Mueller throwing to him, Holmes reportedly caught the ball well at his workout with Miami.

[b]NFL | Canty works out at Pro Day[/b]
Sat, 1 Apr 2006 13:20:56 -0800

Gil Brandt, of NFL.com, reports Winston-Salem State OG Kevin Canty measured a height of 5-11 7/8 and a weight of 371 pounds at his Pro Day. He ran the 40-yard dash twice with times of 5.61 seconds. He measured a 26 1/2-inch vertical jump and a 6-foot-11 broad jump while completing 25 repetitions on the 225-pound bench press.

5'11" and 371lbs... now THAT's what i'd call a fatty.
