Bob Thomas, of the [url="http://www.kffl.com/link/10"]Florida Times-Union[/url], reports Florida State RB [url="http://www.kffl.com/player/13401/nfl"]Leon Washington[/url] might fit into the [url="http://www.kffl.com/team/20/nfl"]Jacksonville Jaguars[/url]' plans. Washington is scheduled for an individual workout with team and looks forward to playing in his hometown. Washington said, "How great would it be to come home and play five minutes from where I grew up? I can see the stadium from out my back door. I played well in college [at Alltel Stadium].

Bob Thomas, of the [url="http://www.kffl.com/link/10"]Florida Times-Union[/url], reports Florida State DL [url="http://www.kffl.com/player/13750/nfl"]Kamerion Wimbley[/url] might fit into the [url="http://www.kffl.com/team/20/nfl"]Jacksonville Jaguars[/url]' plans. Wimbley is projected by many [url="http://www.kffl.com/team/77/nfl"]NFL[/url] teams to switch to outside linebacker. He might be available when the [url="http://www.kffl.com/team/20/nfl"]Jaguars[/url] pick with the No. 28 overall selection in the 2006 [url="http://www.kffl.com/link/159"]NFL Draft[/url].

[b]Browns | Watching a trio from Florida State[/b]
Sat, 18 Mar 2006 07:37:04 -0800

Steve Doerschuk, of the Canton Repository, reports the [url="http://www.kffl.com/team/13/nfl"]Cleveland Browns[/url] had a contingent at Florida State's Pro Day keeping an eye on DT [url="http://www.kffl.com/player/13739/nfl"]Brodrick Bunkley[/url], DE [url="http://www.kffl.com/player/13750/nfl"]Kamerion Wimbley[/url] and LB [url="http://www.kffl.com/player/13417/nfl"]Ernie Sims[/url] Jr. All three are expected to be first-round picks, but two questions remain: Are any worthy of being selected at No. 12 and if the [url="http://www.kffl.com/team/13/nfl"]Browns[/url] trade down, how low can they go and still have one of the three available to them?

Re: New Thread for Pro Day/Daily KFFL draft news
 

figured a single thread would be better than spamming the board.
if you're interested in who other teams are looking at, hopefully there will be some info here.

most articles don't bother with draftees below the 2nd round though :(

[b]Steelers | Team to take a look at J. Lewis[/b]
Sat, 18 Mar 2006 23:17:33 -0800

John O'Connor, of the Times-Dispatch, reports the [url="http://www.kffl.com/team/30/nfl"]Pittsburgh Steelers[/url] have invited [url="http://www.kffl.com/team/78/nfl"]NCAA[/url] basketball C [url="http://www.kffl.com/player/14238/nfl"]Jai Lewis[/url], of George Mason, to visit with them after the [url="http://www.kffl.com/team/78/nfl"]NCAA[/url] basketball tournament is over. There may also be other [url="http://www.kffl.com/team/77/nfl"]NFL[/url] teams that want to take a first-hand look at the 6-7 275-pounder. Lewis last played football as a tight end and defensive end at Aberdeen (Md.) High School. But his size and athleticism intrigues [url="http://www.kffl.com/team/77/nfl"]NFL[/url] scouts, who see some TE [url="http://www.kffl.com/player/7570/nfl"]Antonio Gates[/url] (Chargers) in Lewis. A [url="http://www.kffl.com/team/30/nfl"]Steelers[/url] scout watched Lewis play in the Colonial Athletic Association tournament earlier this month at the Richmond Coliseum and left impressed by Lewis' dimensions, coordination and mobility. "I'd love to play football, and the [url="http://www.kffl.com/team/77/nfl"]NFL[/url] is always trying to find athletes," said Lewis.


Wonder if they're trying him at TE or DE? since he's local, he might be a good guy to look at.

6'7" 275 with move is going to attract attention... How fast could be possibly be with all that weight though? probably has great change of direction to make up for it.

[b]Titans | Team to meet with Cutler March 20[/b]
Sun, 19 Mar 2006 22:32:24 -0800

The Nashville City Paper reports the [url="http://www.kffl.com/team/36/nfl"]Tennessee Titans[/url] will meet with Vanderbilt QB [url="http://www.kffl.com/player/13538/nfl"]Jay Cutler[/url] Monday, March 20. He will spend the entire day with the [url="http://www.kffl.com/team/36/nfl"]Titans[/url] coaches and staff in a get-to-know interview where the sides can get together and talk football and further evaluate Cutler. The main question regarding the [url="http://www.kffl.com/team/36/nfl"]Titans[/url] and Cutler is whether or not they value him the same way many suspect they do USC QB [url="http://www.kffl.com/player/11162/nfl"]Matt Leinart[/url] or Texas QB [url="http://www.kffl.com/player/13206/nfl"]Vince Young[/url] in that No. 3 draft spot. General manager Floyd Reese said: "I think it depends on which club you talk to. There are 32 clubs, and I think they all have different ideas. But I can't imagine too many quarterbacks performing better than he did (Friday at his Pro Day)."

The official scores from the Wonderlic Tests taken at the combine were released. As usual, there were some interesting results. Texas QB Vince Young did indeed take the test twice. The league has been tight-lipped regarding his first score, but the higher score of his two attempts was a 15. Young's score was bad, but not the worst of this year's quarterback class. That honor goes to Virginia Tech's Marcus Vick, who scored an 11 on the test. A perfect score is 50, and the highest score any player posted in this year's class was a 41 (Oklahoma DT Dusty Dvoracek). The lowest score of this year's class was an eight (Syracuse DE Kader Drame, Alabama ILB Freddie Roach, Louisville DT Montavious Stanley, N.C. State TE T.J. Williams and Oklahoma DC Chijioke Onyenegecha), and the average score of all the quarterbacks was a 24.6.

The Wonderlic Personnel Test (WPT) is a short-form intelligence test that measures players' ability to think on their feet, follow directions and make effective decisions under pressure. While Young and Vick exposed their weaknesses in those areas, other quarterbacks shined. Grambling's Bruce Eugene (41), Montana State's Travis Lulay (37), USC's Matt Leinart (35) and Oregon's Kellen Clemens (35) all posted impressive scores.

a 4.6 kinda limits your upside and which WRs you can cover in man :( the verts didn't really help either... that said, maylock does say some crazy things and some of his rankings are way out of touch. These 2 may have sent themselves into the 3rd or 4th round though.

maybe the turf just sucked, but i heard phillips ran a 4.6 earlier anyways.

[B]NFL | V. Young runs a little slower than expected[/B]
Wed, 22 Mar 2006 15:29:04 -0800

ESPN.com's Chris Mortensen reports Texas QB Vince Young was timed in 4.58 seconds in the 40-yard dash Wednesday, March 22, on what is considered a fast track at the University of Texas in Austin, according to one NFL scout. According to the same scout, Young's overall workout was "fairly impressive," but the scout believed that Young was not asked to make certain drops and throws that he would have to perform in a private team workout.


he actually ran the 40 a bunch of times and was timed between 4.49 an 4.58. not the 4.4/4.45 people wanted to see though.

And Salisbury was on Sportscenter afterwards commenting on how impressive his speed was, and how he looks bored during workouts which makes him a great player.

considering what a "great" player salisbury was, i wouldn't exactly consider him the pre-eminent expert in such matters ;) but i'm pretty sure most of the people here are well aware of that.

[B]NFL | More on Young at Pro Day[/B]
Wed, 22 Mar 2006 16:25:01 -0800

Charean Williams, of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, reports Texas QB Vince Young threw 55 passes with five incomplete and one drop during his Pro Day workout Wednesday, March 22. Young worked out with four wide receivers - Texas WRs David Thomas, Ahmard Hall, Brian Carter and former high school teammate and Idaho WR Daniel Smith. Young also caught one pass on a trick play. "I feel like I did a good job," said Young. "I stayed relaxed, poised and had fun. You hear so much that 'Vince is not working out. Vince is not doing this and that.' I wanted to go out and show them that I am working out."

he did do some work from under center (vs shotgun, which Texas ran nearly 90% of the time this year). Obviouly, this was done without a defense bearing down on him.

The official scores from the Wonderlic Tests taken at the combine were released. As usual, there were some interesting results. Texas QB Vince Young did indeed take the test twice. The league has been tight-lipped regarding his first score, but the higher score of his two attempts was a 15. Young's score was bad, but not the worst of this year's quarterback class. That honor goes to Virginia Tech's Marcus Vick, who scored an 11 on the test.
A perfect score is 50, and the highest score any player posted in this year's class was a 41 (Oklahoma DT Dusty Dvoracek). The lowest score of this year's class was an eight (Syracuse DE Kader Drame, Alabama ILB Freddie Roach, Louisville DT Montavious Stanley, N.C. State TE T.J. Williams and Oklahoma DC Chijioke Onyenegecha), and the average score of all the quarterbacks was a 24.6.
The Wonderlic Personnel Test (WPT) is a short-form intelligence test that measures players' ability to think on their feet, follow directions and make effective decisions under pressure. While Young and Vick exposed their weaknesses in those areas, other quarterbacks shined. Grambling's Bruce Eugene (41), Montana State's Travis Lulay (37), USC's Matt Leinart (35) and Oregon's Kellen Clemens (35) all posted impressive scores.
Prospects at other positions who excelled include Ohio State OC Nick Mangold (35), Tulsa TE/FB Garrett Mills (35), Oregon LB Keith Ellison (36), Cal-Poly State DE Chris Gocong (36), Cornell OL Kevin Boothe (37), Virginia WR Marques Hagans (37), Stanford DT Babatunde Oshinowo (37) and Boston College OT Jeremy Trueblood (37).
Others didn't fare so well, such as Penn State DC Alan Zemaitis (9), Marshall DC Chris Hawkins (10), Miami DE Javon Nanton (10), South Carolina DS Ko Simpson (10), Central Missouri State WR Delanie Walker (10), Syracuse DE James Wyche (10), LSU WR/RS Skyler Green (11), Tennessee DB Jason Allen (11), Clemson DE Charles Bennett (11), Abilene Christian DB Danieal Manning (12), Texas Tech DS Dwayne Slay (12), South Florida RB Andre Hall (13), Pittsburgh DC Josh Lay (13), UCLA TE Marcedes Lewis (13), Mississippi State RB Jerious Norwood (13) and Tarleton State RB Derrick Ross (13).

Pro Days Report

The two most recent Pro Days were held at Florida State and UCLA on March 16th. The overall speed and athleticism of Florida State's prospects is impressive. Leading the charge was DC Antonio Cromartie, who missed all of last season with a knee injury, but elected to leave school early. There are still questions regarding his rustiness, durability and technique, but Cromartie's physical tools are outstanding. After running two 40-yard dashes in the 4.3-range and notching 42 inches on the vertical jump, Cromartie could sneak into the latter portion of the first round. OLB Ernie Sims (5-foot-11, 234 pounds) and DE Kamerion Wimbley (6-4, 248 pounds) also impressed. Sims ran a 40-yard dash in the 4.4's, and Wimbley ran the short shuttle in 4.41 seconds.
TE Marcades Lewis was one of the players who helped his stock the most at UCLA's Pro Day, as he posted impressive times in the short shuttle (4.53) and long shuttle (12.62). Lewis also notched 22 reps on the standard 225-pound bench. Unfortunately, his below average speed and suspect blocking skills may prevent him from being selected in the first round. RB Maurice Drew, satisfied with his impressive times at the combine, participated only in the position drills. QB Drew Olson threw the ball well during passing drills, but his performance in the 40-yard dash (5.19) did not help his cause.
Other notable schools that hosted Pro Days this week include Alabama, Oregon State and South Carolina. At Alabama, OLB DeMeco Ryans helped his draft value by improving on his 40-yard dash times from the combine (4.69 and 4.72). He posted times of 4.64 and 4.65 this time around, while also displaying impressive quickness and instincts during position drills.
QB Brodie Croyle did not run, but was nearly flawless during his passing drills, impressing scouts in attendance with his arm strength and accuracy. ILB Freddie Roach did not help his cause by posting 40-yard dash times of 4.88 and 4.87, while only churning out 18 reps on the 225-pound bench press.
The Oregon State Pro Day was failry unimpressive. WR Mike Hass will likely still be a late-Day 1 or early-Day 2 prospect, but running the 40-yard dash in the 4.6-range did not help his cause. LBs Trent Bray (6-3, 227) and Keith Ellison (6-2, 230) were also uninspiring. Bray posted two miserable 40-yard dash times of 4.90 and 4.89, while Ellison ran in the 4.7-range. For undersized linebacker prospects, those times are especially damaging.
South Carolina's Pro Day provided some positive feedback. DC Jonathan Joseph and DS Ko Simpson both kept their excellent workout numbers from the combine, but impressed with their agility and quickness during position drills. However, the rest of the group was uninspiring. Most notably, RB/FB Daccus Turman ran the 40-yard dash in the 4.9-range and OT Jabary Levey pulled his hamstring during his run, which was timed at 6.01 seconds. Levey will run later in the month once he has healed.
Most scouts I've spoken to agree the most impressive Pro Day so far took place in Columbus, Ohio, where Ohio State prospects such as OLBs A.J. Hawk and Bobby Carpenter, DSs Donte Whitner and Nate Salley, WR Santonio Holmes, DC Ashton Youboty, ILB Anthony Schlegel and OT Rob Simms all turned in strong performances. The Ohio State track is notoriously fast, which is why NFL teams typically add one-tenth of a second to each of the 40-yard dash times.
Regardless, the 40-yard dash times turned in by Hawk (4.44), Holmes (4.34), Whitner (4.39) and Youboty (4.41) were excellent. Carpenter didn't display tremendous straight-line speed in the 40, but impressed scouts with his fluidity and athleticism in agility drills, and during his position drills. Hawk, Holmes, Youboty, Carpenter and Whitner could all come off the board in the first round of the upcoming draft.
Below is a schedule of upcoming Pro Days. I will continue to update the players helping and hurting their draft stock the most over the course of the next few weeks.

[B]NFL | Ferguson works out at Pro Day[/B]
Wed, 22 Mar 2006 18:37:03 -0800

Gil Brandt, of NFL.com, reports Virginia OL D'Brickashaw Ferguson measured a height of 6-5 7/8 and a weight of 305 pounds. He ran the 40-yard dash with times of 5.09 seconds and 5.07 seconds, while running the short shuttle in 4.89 seconds and the three-cone drill in 7.64 seconds. Ferguson did slip on both of his runs due to the hard surface. He also measured a 30-inch vertical jump and an 8-foot-11 long jump.

very good times, his drills that i've seen have been great too.

[B]Eagles | Team meets with Fantuz[/B]
Fri, 24 Mar 2006 07:46:52 -0800

Morris Dalla Costa, of the London Free Press reports the Philadelphia Eagles met with Canadian NFL draft prospect WR Andy Fantuz last week. Whether he'll be picked in the NFL draft beginning April 29 is something agent Hadley Engelhard won't speculate on. He may also go No. 1 in the CFL draft April 20. "He did quite well working out," said Engelhard. "During his week at the East-West Shrine Game, he proved he's able to play NFL-style football. He picked things up quickly. The terminology wasn't a problem. The route running wasn't a problem."

#1 CFL pick = NFL camp scrub ;)

Re: New Thread for Pro Day/Daily KFFL draft news
 

I think Maroney and DeAngelo are the only two RBs out of this draft class to really make a huge impact. Bush will be above average, but won't be the "once-in-a-lifetime" player he is being touted as.

sub 4.3, how bout that? regardless of how good or bad he may be, that'll definately move him up quite a ways.
