Rage tweet incoming from Greg Gabriel about how only the NFL combine measurements are accurate and how he and the guy who do those measurements have been best buds for 65 years

Joe Thomas previously stated this is a stupid measurement as it varies on how its measured from person to person

not the first year there have been discrepancies.
as noted, teams will do their own homework on this.
It won't be equal among all teams but in my mind If the Bears think he can play LT, a needy team ahead of them might think the same thing and he will be gone. Conversely, if the Bears think he's a guard, teams ahead of them might also think that. Either way, I don't think The Bears take him either because he will be gone or he will drop and they will pass.

Ever notice how the 40 times are magically faster at every single pro day?
Now the arm length is growing as well??? Shocking

And Martinez, Neal, Johnson, etc. I certainly don't think the class is overhyped. Of course the players all have their issues, including jeanty (Hampton is more complete than jeanty), but it's still a really good class.

Tbf, the college all star games had different measurements than the combine too and Nagy made a big deal of the same people do the measurements at combine and all star games like there wouldn't be differences

Pretty much every player's 40 is faster at pro days, year after after year.
The NFL combine a fully automatic timing system which is more accurate and slower than hand times.
Teams might be setting up FAT systems at pro days but if they are using hand times they will be faster. You would expect on average a hand timed run to be about 0.24 seconds faster than when using FAT systems.
I'd also like to think the combine removes all bias where as there may be some type of bias or less accuracy at the pro days, as different people will be performing the measurements for each pro day, where as 1 trained team is doing all the measurements at the combine and they are doing them the exact same way.
Edit: this also brings in to some context why back in the day some players had significantly faster 40's. I don't know when they instituted using FAT at the combine but if they were using hand times it would really discredit all of the times compared to current day players

People continue to overlook this. That wingspan is awful and he would be a complete outlier at the position. The mean OT wingspan is 82.1 inches. That is a huge discrepancy. Dude is not an NFL LT

They’re not drafting an OL at 10, that’s for sure.
Give me Mike Green, Pearce Jr, or Jeanty.
All 3 of those guys can be argued as BPA and will make the biggest impact right off the bat.

I respond on a burner to a bunch of his tweets saying he's a moron and guaranteed us the bears would keep fields and take the haul. He still hasnt engaged me.
I guess i'm not doing the trolling correctly

Dunno, @BaBaBlacksheep seems to be sold that they are taking a backup OL at #10 to sit on the bench.

I do think he measured 32 7/8 a year ago… so the consistency of these things seems a bit off.

I'm a big Campbell fan. I think he can be a good LT. He's got the best feet in the draft and uses his hands well. He also played the best competition and LSU had a very heavy pure drop back offense.

For people who don’t want that, I think he’s likely gone, but not to the Raiders.
