2019 NFL combine predictions/talk thread

40 times aren't everything, but good lord this is a slow class. To me, the RB group wasn't strong on paper entering the combine, but now the physical profiles are starting to match that.

40s won’t make a player for me, but they can certainly break a player for me.

On a separate note, Metcalf put up 27 reps on the bench. That's in-line with what I expected.

OMGosh, Holyfield... yikes. Montgomery ran exactly what i'd expect, given his tape.

[Jigga94]

You guys gotta chill on 40 times. They should only be used to verify what we see on film.

Henderson looks fast, he is fast. Holyfield was never a speed back, so his 40 time was never supposed to be a 4.5.

Hall of Famer Terrell Davis was never a speed back, and he ran a 4.7 40 time. That wasn't his strength. In my review of RBs, I never once mentioned speed as a trait of his.

The dude can't catch a football. That should be a bigger concern.

Agree. Much over reaction to the times. Holyfield wasnt a favorite of mine either because of the lack of catching.

Did you expect Sanders to run a 4.45? I feel like while 40 times don't matter that much for RB, anything sub 4.5 is pretty good as long as the RB doesn't fully rely on speed. Aka if he has other traits, speed should be a nice addition

I'm really happy Sanders ran that fast ... it puts him even with Jacobs for me as RB1 & RB1a

And then Elijah Holyfield dropped his pass

He's slowly making me want to keep my 1.01 and take him if I don't find the right deal

James Williams is a James White clone. Could be a really solid 3rd down passing back.

[alewilliam789]

We getting some updated data fellas?

[Valhalla]

4.79 40 yard dash for Holyfield... That is awful

I'm guessing the big group of people calling him RB1 is going to disperse. He's not a Top 10 RB in this class and isn't really good at any particular thing.

He's good at not standing out in any particular attribute, though

[UATahoe]

Miles Sanders has definitely looked really good. James Williams is an intriguing guy to me late in drafts. Especially if he lands in a good offense.

[Bot101]

Justice Hill and Darrell Henderson are killing it today.

[UATahoe]

Meant to add Hill as well. He has looked really good.

[Bot101]

Yep. And Alex Barnes is earning a paycheck too.

[alewilliam789]

So did Weber really run a unofficial 4.39? Sorry guys at work
