NFL Scouting Combine (2024)


Recommended Posts

I think this year might be the deepest first round in recent memory. Not many "A+ listers" ... But lots of A-/B+ prospects and like 4-5 deep at many of the top positions. 

 

This would be a great year to have 3 or more picks in the top 50. And some team is going to remake itself overnight.

 

If I'm Chicago I'm trading down multiple times and stockpiling many picks in the first 2 rds. But they won't of course.

That might be the smoothest gauntlet I’ve ever seen. Unreal. 

 


I think he’s gotta be in the conversation at #18. The college production scares me though. Any one of the UGA boys at #18 would make me pretty excited about next year.

He looked like a toothpick running down the field. Stiff breeze will blow him off his route. 

5'11 165....thin..

Someone will bite on  that 4.22

 

Bengals won't.

Been there. Done that .

Officially a 4.21, new record. We still won't bite.

Here is an idea ... Draft both Mims (1) and Paul (2) and then play one at RT and one at LG. 

 

Your OL would be ...

OBj -- Paul -- Karras -- Cappa -- Mims 

(Easily the largest one in NFL history).

Not sure Paul will be there in round two anymore.

Teams are desperate for Olinemen especially OTs.

Projected top 10 NFL Draft pick suffers injury during Combine: reports

Penn State's Olu Fashanu, arguably the top offensive tackle prospect in the Draft, suffered a right thigh injury

 

Offensive tackle Olu Fashanu, a projected top 10 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, bowed out of his NFL Scouting Combine performance on Sunday due to injury. 

No one ever wants to see a prospect hurt during the Combine, but it’s the unfortunate reality that sometimes happens when draftees try to vault their draft stock. Clemson cornerback Nate Wiggins ran a blazing 40-yard dash earlier this weekend, but suffered a hip injury in the process. 

Fashanu, a Penn State product, left with a right thigh injury, according to multiple reports. He was seen walking around with that thigh wrapped in ice. 

Fashanu, though, seemed to be in good spirits, according to the NFL Network. He believes that he will be fine to perform at Penn State’s Pro Day on March 15, and he’s someone many teams will be waiting to see given his status among his peers. 

Fashanu measures 6-foot-6, 312 pounds with 34-inch arms and an 82 and 5/8th wingspan, along with an 8-and-a-half-inch hand. 

These are all prototypical measurables for someone who plays his position, and his speed and strength have proven to be something evaluators believe will translate to the next level. 

Fashanu is the best offensive tackle prospect in the NFL Draft depending on which expert or evaluator you talk to, but there’s no question many NFL teams believe him to be first-round worthy. 

Fashanu was a team captain last season for the Nittany Lions, starting 12 games at left tackle. He has 21 career starts at the position, and was named the 2023 Big Ten Offensive Lineman of the Year as well as first-team All-Big Ten. 

Fashanu did have an undisclosed injury that he suffered in 2022, which forced him to start just eight games. 

Penn State’s Pro Day will show if this was a small tweak at the Combine for Fashanu, or if it needs more attention moving forward. 

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::

This will cause some of the others we have been speculating to move up and him to move down

possibly into our ball park.  Do we take a chance or hope he drops into the second (third?) round with

an injury prone rep?  Would we consider him, anyway?  :39:

I think Mims and Paul may be gone at 18, anyway.  Esp Mims.

* I'm really regretting that Browning won those extra games last season. As right now they were for nothing. This was the perfect year to have a top 10 pick. 😢

 

 

Careful, you might get accused of being a bandwagon fan around here.
