NFL Combine Thread

[Couch-Potato]

Let’s discuss the combine here.

Which players are going to make the biggest upward or downward movement for themselves at the combine?

Thursday, Feb. 27 at 3 p.m. -- Defensive linemen, linebackers
Friday, Feb. 28 at 3 p.m. -- Defensive backs, tight ends
Saturday, March 1 at 1 p.m. -- Quarterbacks, wide receivers, running backs
Sunday, March 2-3 at 1 p.m. -- Offensive linemen

I think both the OL and RB projections will be shaken up.

DBs always tend to sort out

I wanna see Devin Neal’s 40.

His “long speed” is seen as a weakness. If he runs well, maybe he raises his stock to the third round.

I can’t ****ing wait for it to get going already.

Something going on with Luther Burden?

So Todd McShay, Mel Kiper Jr., and Daniel Jeremiah all have Missouri WR Luther Burden III falling out of Round 1 in their mock drafts.

I don’t get it. Are we missing something off the field?

Burden hasn't been used or developed like a "REAL" WR, so I can understand if there are some questions about his ability to fully plug into an offense in the NFL.

He's been a great gadget weapon for Mizzou.

I'd say his strengths are his ability to break tackles and make people miss in space (he is absolutely phenomenal at this - exceptional contact balance, would be elite for a RB - like Deebo Samuel, but not a broke-dick) and his ability to make plays down the field in single coverage situations.

He is really adept at going up and getting back shoulders, or just going up for the ball in general. I think his hands are a plus. He seems to have a feel for finding space against zone coverage. Honestly, his QB play has really held him back. To me, if he had been playing with an elite QB, we're talking about him as the first WR taken.

I haven't heard a hint of off-field stuff from him, but I'll do some checking.

I think if he somehow falls to KC at 31, you should push the button and be pretty happy about it. You know Andy Reid would be able to get great production out of him as the gadget weapon, and he and Rice would be an incredibly dangerous combination for underneath stuff.

I don't think Burden is really a traditional X at present (though he has the overall skills/package to become one, even if he's a little undersized at 5-11). That may be depressing his value, if teams look at him as a slot-only gadget guy.

luther burden in our offense? jeesh. that's pure insanity.

[Boxer_Chief]

Yeah I’ve been pining for burden, please be true because he’s going to be elite. His qb killed him this year. He will test well at the combine and I imagine he will climb back up boards unfortunately.

[duncan_idaho]

Did some checking.

Other than stuff you hear about a lot of star WRs - requires a lot of TLC, moody, pouty when not getting touches - there isn’t really anything.

No pending legal or personal issues.

Andy does LOVE his gadget guys! Sounds like an exciting get if he falls to us.

Rice, Worthy, and Burden would be a dangerous WR core moving forward.
