happyrid Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 CJ is good. I believe he had the best quickness numbers of the TEs at the combine which is pretty impressive for a guy his size. He'll probably never put up big numbers but should be a good player for a long time for somebody. Also probably ends up going a little earlier than the internet draft scouts are projecting as the top blocking TEs always seem to go a little earlier than expected. 3rd round maybe?

alleycat Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 Yes to both of you. Even if we keep Gresh and Eifert, this is the kind of guy we want as the third TE. His short area quickness was lights out at the combine, and he's a beast of a blocker. In other words, he'll excel in the short game, which is what I want to see more of.

Zins30 Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 Looking at Bodine, Hurst and Ebron? Representatives from 30 NFL teams — including offensive line coaches from the Cincinnati Bengals and Jacksonville Jaguars, tight end coaches from the Cincinnati Bengals, Philadelphia Eagles and Pittsburgh Steelers, and a defensive line coach from the Philadelphia Eagles — were on hand for North Carolina’s pro day on Tuesday. A total of 10 Tar Heels players worked out outdoors on FieldTurf. While tight end Eric Ebron solidified his first-round draft status, defensive end Kareem Martin elevated his draft stock at the pro day. Ebron (6-foot-4 1/4, 253) — Ebron ran the short shuttle in 4.57 seconds and the three-cone drill in 7.49 seconds; neither time is impressive. He stood on the rest of his numbers from the NFL Scouting Combine. Ebron had three drops during the positional drills — one on a go route and then two others — but the rest of the time he was outstanding catching the ball. He remains a prospect worthy of a first-round pick. Martin (6-5 3/4, 270) — Martin stood on his numbers from the combine. He looked really good in the drills working out as a defensive end. Martin’s pro day probabl elevated him to a middle- to top-of-the-second-round selection. Russell Bodine, C (6-2 7/8, 302) — Bodine stood on his numbers from the combine (he led all combine participants with 42 reps of 225 pounds on the bench press). Bodine had a good positional workout, showing off his strong upper body. Bodine looks like a third-day draft pick (Rounds 4-7). Tre Boston, SS (5-11 3/4, 202) — Boston ran the 40 in 4.69 and 4.75 seconds. He stood on the rest of his numbers from the combine. James Hurst, OT (6-5 3/8, 298) — Hurst worked out, but isn’t fully recovered from a broken left leg suffered in the Tar Heels’ win in the Belk Bowl on Dec. 28. Despite the injury, Hurst took the bull by the horns and worked out. He did the 40 in 5.54 and 5.60 seconds. He did the short shuttle in 4.57 seconds, had a 22-inch vertical jump and did 23 strength lifts. Hurst worked out in the positional drills, too, but his leg isn’t 100 percent healthy. Hopefully he sets up a day later for scouts to see him work out when he’s fully recovered. Jabari Price, CB (5-10 1/2, 201) — Price ran the 40 in 4.53 and 4.55 seconds. He had a 29 1/2-inch vertical jump and 9-foot-4 broad jump. Price had an above average positional workout, showing real good ball skills. Bryn Renner, QB (6-2 3/8, 220) — Renner stood on his numbers from the combine, and only threw passes at UNC’s pro day. Renner looks like a possible seventh-round draft pick or priority free-agent pickup following the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zins30 Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 McGill University OL attracts nine NFL teams to Canada Posted: March 27th, 2014 | Gil Brandt | Tags: Laurent Duvernay-Tardif, McGill University, pro day Nine teams were present for the pro day event Wednesday at McGill University in Canada: the Jets, Eagles, Raiders, Chiefs, Packers, Bengals, Cardinals, 49ers and Bills. The player they came to see was an offensive lineman named Laurent Duvernay-Tardif. Duvernay-Tardif measured 6-foot-5, 298 pounds, which was 23 pounds less than his weight at the East-West Shrine Game. He’s a medical student, and he said he thought he lost the weight because he was so busy studying for his classes. At his pro day, Duvernay-Tardif ran the 40 in 4.94 and 5.08 seconds. He had a 31 1/2-inch vertical and a 9-6 broad jump. He ran the three-cone drill in 7.30 seconds and had 33 bench-press reps. Duvernay-Tardif was not at the combine, but those numbers were as good as any offensive linemen there, including Taylor Lewan. I would imagine that a team will take a chance on him around the sixth or seventh round and hope to turn him into an NFL player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zins30 Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 Mike Davis, Jackson Jeffcoat work for 32 teams at Texas pro day Posted: March 27th, 2014 | Gil Brandt | Tags: Chris Whaley, Jackson Jeffcoat, Mike Davis, pro day, Texas Representatives from all 32 teams, including the offensive line coaches from the Eagles and the Bengals, were at Texas’ pro day Wednesday to watch 10 players work out. This was the first time in 16 years that I was not present at Texas pro day. The sprints were run on a very fast Tartan track, and the position drills were held on FieldTurf at another indoor facility a couple of blocks away. Mike Davis, WR: Davis (6-foot, 189 pounds), who was at the combine, ran the 40 in 4.51 and 4.53 seconds. He had a 32 1/2-inch vertical and a 9-9 broad jump. He ran the short shuttle in 4.42 and the three-cone drill in 7.06. He did not lift. Davis had a good workout and caught the ball well, but he does not have a great burst to get open and create separation. Jackson Jeffcoat, DE/OLB: Jeffcoat (6-foot-2, 253 pounds) kept all of his numbers from the combine. He worked as both a 4-3 defensive end with his hands on the ground and also as a 3-4 linebacker. He looked like he was better suited to play the 4-3 defensive end spot and didn’t look very smooth dropping into space. Chris Whaley, DT: Whaley (6-foot-3, 273 pounds) came to Texas as one of the most sought-after running backs in the state of Texas in his recruiting year, but he ended up playing defensive tackle. He had knee surgery four months ago and couldn’t do any of the drills, but he should be ready to work out after the draft when teams go into their OTs. Trey Hopkins, G: Hopkins (6-2 3/4, 307 pounds) ran the 40 in 5.25 and 5.27 seconds. He had a 32-inch vertical and a 9-2 broad jump. He ran the short shuttle in 4.80 and the three-cone drill in 8.03 seconds. He also had 28 reps in the bench press. Hopkins had a nice workout and is likely to be a seventh-round pick or a priority free agent. Anthony Fera, K: Fera (6-foot 1/2 inches, 215 pounds), who was at the combine, made 1-of-2 field goals from 50 yards, 2-of-2 from 55 yards and 1-of-2 from 60 yards. Five of his six kickoffs went out of the end zone. He also did some punting drills outside in the wind and didn’t do very good. He’s someone who’ll probably be drafted somewhere in the last day. Carrington Byndom, DB: Byndom (5-11 1/4, 177 pounds), who was not at the combine, ran the 40 twice, posting a time of 4.33 both times. He also had a 36-inch vertical and a 9-11 broad jump. He ran the short shuttle in 4.40 seconds and the three-cone drill in 7.09. He did not do the bench press. Byndom has great straight-ahead speed, but in the position drills he struggled to turn and run with receivers. His speed will probably make him a seventh-round pick or a priority free agent.

Bengals1181 Posted March 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 Asa Watson, brother of Ben Watson, a possible draft pick Posted: March 24th, 2014 | Gil Brandt | Tags: Asa Watson, Darryl Cato-Bishop, Dontae Johnson, North Carolina State Representatives from all 32 NFL teams were on hand for North Carolina State’s pro day on Monday. There were 12 prospects who worked out both indoors (for the runs and jumps) and outdoors (for the positional drills). Dontae Johnson, CB (6-foot-2, 198) — Johnson stood on his numbers from the NFL Scouting Combine. Johnson is a tall and lengthy player who had a nice positional workout. Darryl Cato-Bishop, DE (6-2 1/2, 257) — Cato-Bishop ran the 40-yard dash in 4.97 and 4.94 seconds. He had a 29 1/2-inch vertical jump and a 9-foot-1 broad jump. He did the short shuttle in 4.69 seconds and the three-cone drill in 7.48 seconds. He could not lift due to a shoulder injury. Cato-Bishop is likely a late-round (sixth or seventh rounds) draft choice. Asa Watson, TE (6-2 3/8, 239) — Watson ran the 40 in 4.71 and 4.65 seconds. He had a 32-inch vertical jump and 9-9 broad jump. He did the short shuttle in 4.44 seconds and the three-cone drill in 7.05 seconds. He had 26 lifts of 225 pounds on the bench press. Watson — the brother of New Orleans Saints tight end Ben Watson — is a very good receiver. He has excellent hands and runs very good routes. He is likely a third-day draft pick. http://blogs.nfl.com/category/pro-days/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happyrid Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 I am intrigued by Jackson Jeffcoat, Mike Davis and some of the Texas prospects. Those guys were big time recruits and had decent college careers, but you just wonder if the coaching made them look worse than they are. You have to be wary of the "system" guys who look great in their college system but don't have the talent to make the leap to then NFL smoothly. The opposite of that is guys who were held back by their college systems and thus end up being better pros than college players. I suspect some of these Texas guys will fit that bill. In recent years, it seems like a lot of their guys got under drafted whereas teams like Bama have had most of their guys over drafted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for Jeffcoat, the worst thing he has going for him is his game film, which doesn't bode well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zins30 Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 I believe the Bengals already had a private workout with Flemming- Stanford’s Cameron Fleming looks like a 10-year NFL starter Posted: March 31st, 2014 | Gil Brandt | T There were 27 NFL teams represented — including a large contingent of San Francisco 49ers personnel — at Stanford’s pro day on March 20, when 14 players worked out outdoors on FieldTurf. Cameron Fleming, OT (6-foot-5, 325 pounds) — Fleming had a 25 1/2-inch vertical jump and 8-foot-1 broad jump. Fleming stood on his times from the NFL Scouting Combine in the 40-yard dash, three-cone drill and short shuttle. Fleming might not be a capable left tackle in the NFL, but he will be a very good right tackle in the league and a likely 10-year starter at the position. That quality will make Fleming a second-day draft pick, probably in the 40-50 range. Tyler Gaffney, RB (5-11 5/8, 217) — Gaffney did 15 reps of 225 pounds on the bench press, and then stood on the rest of his numbers from the combine (he was a top performer in his position group in the three-cone drill and the top performer in the 60-yard shuttle). Gaffney worked out well and catches the ball really well out of the backfield. Unfortunately, in an age when running backs are not a valuable commodity in the NFL, Gaffney’s draft prospects appear to be as a late-round selection. Ben Gardner, DE (6-4 1/8, 262) — Gardner ran the 40-yard dash in 5.07 and 5.03 seconds. He had a 39 1/2-inch vertical jump and 10-foot-2 broad jump. He did the short shuttle in 4.24 seconds and the three-cone drill in 6.98 seconds. He has 30 3/4-inch arms, which are on the short side. He could not participate in the bench press due to a torn left pectoral muscle. Gardner is also a likely third-day draft pick, probably in the seventh round. Josh Mauro, DE (6-6 1/8, 280) — Mauro ran the 40 in 5.23 and 5.21 seconds. He had a 31-inch vertical. He ran the short shuttle in 4.50 seconds. Mauro, who has 31 3/8-inch arms, did 29 lifts of 225 pounds on the bench press. He could not run the three-cone drill because of a left hamstring strain. Mauro is another Stanford prospect who appears to be a third-day draft selection. Trent Murphy, LB (6-5 5/8, 260) — Murphy ran the 40 in 4.89 and 4.82 seconds, and stood on the rest of his numbers from the combine (he was a top performer in his position group in the three-cone drill). Murphy has 11-inch hands and 34 1/8-inch arms. He will be a strong-side linebacker in the NFL. Murphy worked at as a down lineman at the Senior Bowl, but played as a strong-side linebacker in the game. He plays football a lot faster than his 40 times would suggest. Murphy is a likely second-day draft pick, probably in the third round. Ed Reynolds, FS (6 7/8, 206) — Reynolds ran the 40 in 4.51 and 4.52 seconds. He had a 38-inch vertical jump. He did the short shuttle in 4.49 seconds and the three-cone drill in 7.18 seconds. Reynolds — who was at the combine — did not do the broad jump or bench press at Stanford’s pro day. Reynolds, the son of former NFL linebacker Ed Reynolds who played for the New England Patriots and New York Giants, is probably a bottom of the third round to top of fourth round draft choice. Shayne Skov, LB (6-2 1/2, 242) — Skov did 28 strength lifts, but due to a left hamstring issue he was not able to work out. Skov will do a workout for NFL personnel on April 21. David Yankey, G (6-6, 317) — Yankey stood on his times from the combine in the 40 and three-cone. He had a 30-inch vertical jump. He did the short shuttle in 4.69 seconds. He also did 25 lifts on the bench press. Yankey did not have as good of a 2013 season as he did in 2012. However, his father passed away early in the season and that likely affected his play on the field. What Yankey did in the 2012 season would indicate a second-day draft slot.

Zins30 Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 Indianapolis Colts’ Chuck Pagano present at USC’s pro day Posted: April 1st, 2014 | Gil Brandt | Representatives from all 32 NFL teams — including seven offensive line coaches and Indianapolis Colts head coach Chuck Pagano – were present for USC’s pro day on March 12, when 17 Trojans players worked out outdoors on FieldTurf. Dion Bailey, SS (5-foot-11 5/8, 211 pounds) — Bailey had a 33 1/2-inch vertical jump and a 9-foot-6 broad jump. He performed 14 reps of 225 pounds on the bench press. He then stood on his times in the runs from the NFL Scouting Combine (he was a top performer in his position group in the three-cone drill, short shuttle and 60-yard shuttle). Bailey is a quality player who had a solid field pro-day workout. He’ll probably be a third-day (Rounds 4-7) draft pick. Xavier Grimble, TE (6-4 1/8, 261) — Grimble ran the 40-yard dash in 4.90 and 4.94 seconds. He had a 30 1/2-inch vertical jump and 9-foot-2 broad jump. He did the short shuttle in 4.79 seconds and the three-cone drill in 7.41 seconds. Grimble, who has 10-inch hands and 33-inch arms, did 16 lifts on the bench press. Grimble had a good pro day, catching the ball well after shaking off a couple drops early in the workout. Devon Kennard, LB (6-2 7/8, 251) — Kennard, who has 9 7/8-inch hands and 33 5/8-inch arms, stood on his numbers from the NFL Scouting Combine and only did positional drills at the pro day. He moved well in drills, caught the ball well, and will probably be a top half of the third day of the draft selection. Marqise Lee, WR (5-11 7/8, 199) — Lee did the three-cone drill in 6.96 seconds, had 11 reps on the bench press and stood on the rest of his numbers from the combine. Lee, who has 9 1/2-inch hands, had a great pro-day workout. He’s very quick coming out of his breaks, and does everything he needs to be a great receiver. Marcus Martin, C (6-3 1/8, 318) — Martin was at the combine, but unable to work out due to a left knee injury (only performing the bench press while in Indianapolis). At USC’s pro day, Martin ran the 40 in 5.33 and 5.22 seconds. He had a 22 1/2-inch vertical jump and a 4.93-second short shuttle time. He was not able to do the broad jump or three-cone drill due to the left knee issue. Martin, who has 33 3/8-inch arms, will probably be the second center selected in the 2014 NFL Draft, possibly sometime at the bottom of the third round or early fourth round. Silas Redd, RB (5-9 1/8, 218) — Redd did not work out due to a right PCL injury. He is tentatively scheduled to work out for teams on April 22. George Uko, DE (6-2 3/8, 294) — Uko had a short shuttle time of 4.57 seconds and did the three-cone in 7.47 seconds. Uko, who has 33 1/4-inch arms, did 22 lifts on the bench press and stood on the rest of his numbers from the combine. Uko had a very good workout and will probably be a late second-day draft pick. Players who are potential rookie free-agent pickups also worked out at the pro day. Kevin Graf, OT (6-5 3/4, 303) — Graf did the 40 in 5.11 and 5.03 seconds. He had a 29-inch vertical jump and 9-foot-11 broad jump. He did the short shuttle in 4.77 seconds and the three-cone in 7.53 seconds. Graf, who has 33 1/2-inch arms, did 27 reps on the bench press. Torin Harris, CB (5-11 5/8, 189) — Harris ran the 40 in 4.46 and 4.54 seconds (he rolled at the start of the first 40 run). He had a 41-inch vertical and 10-10 broad jump. He did the short shuttle in 4.23 seconds and the three-cone drill in 6.96 seconds. Harris, who has 32 3/8-inch arms, did 9 strength lifts. Harris did look like he had some quickness and displayed an ability to flip his hips during the workout. Because of the nature of his position, he is a likely priority free-agent pickup following the draft. Morgan Breslin, LB (6-1 3/8, 240) — Breslin ran the 40 in 4.60 and 4.69 seconds. He strained his left groin on the second 40 attempt around the 20-yard mark. He had a 35 1/2-inch vertical and 9-6 broad jump. Breslin, who has 31 3/4-inch arms, did 26 reps on the bench press. Due to the groin strain, Breslin did not have a positional workout and will work out on April 22. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
