**** Official 2018 NFL Draft Combine Thread **** - Page 3

Just my philosophy, but fuck 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.

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.

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.

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

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.
