Cleveland Browns President Mike Holmgren says it's a mistake for QBs not to throw at NFL combine | cleveland.com

Let's see, I'm Bradford or Clausen, most if not all projections have both gone before pick # 10 = 8 figure payday. Why risk a sub-par performance, dropping, and losing millions, so Mike Holgren (or any other GM/coach) can be happy. Is Holmgren going to pass on either one at # 6...I don't think so.

Why would they have a subpar performance if they are supposed to be that good? Just because you don't have a choreographed pro day at their school?

I know that this will never change, so I'm not going to bother making an argument for it, but I just feel they should be required to throw at the combine just like all the other players.

Plus the combine is the most over rated event in general to begin with. IMO biggest value are the player interviews, getting to know the person, character, and personality you cant get on tape. Hopefully that stuff isnt too scripted.
