[Ra's al Ghul]

The QBs seem to have small hands

 

[BearsFan51]

Sutton and Donald show up at around the same height both just a shade under 6-foot-1, with Sutton tipping the scales at 315-pounds and Donald tipping the scales at 288-pounds. Sutton now could stand to lose some weight to get back some of his speed and quickness. Seems like if he drops down to the 295-pound mark he'll be a very effective 3-technique in the NFL or he could still be effective now as either a 1-technique or a 3-technique. Either way Sutton is heavier than I thought he would, I figured he'd tip the scales at 305-pounds, but that 315 weight surprised me in a good way.

 

[Sagbear]

Glad to see Donald measure in at over 6 feet at just a shade under 6'1 and almost 10 inch hands, but his weight at 288 is a positive for him he should show up at the combine at around 290-295. Surprised to see DaQaun Jones measure in at 323, thought he would be around 310. Van Noy had nice measurable s also. Colvin and Deone Bucannon also did themselves good today also. Ra’Shede Hageman measured in exactly what he was projected at.

Ra’Shede Hageman measured in exactly what he was projected at.

Kareem Martin made himself some money today as well. Prototypical 4-3 DE size at 6'6" 272lbs and a massive wingspan second only to McCullers.

Donald will be going up against Cyril Richardson all week, so it'll be good to see how he holds up against a mammoth-sized OL.

I forgot to post Martin, agreed on him. I'm high on him as I'v stated on some previous posts. He really improves his senior year with 11.5 sacks and has ideal size for the position. I thought Murphy would come in a little heavier since he was listed at 261. Also it's a positive for McCullers that he measured in at 6'6 and not 6'8 and was 348 because there were some reports that said he played at nearly 400 pounds this year.

 

[BaBaBlacksheep]

Donald will be going up against Cyril Richardson all week, so it'll be good to see how he holds up against a mammoth-sized OL.

Is Kareem Martin someone that would be 2nd round worthy for us?

 

[Bearin' Down]

More importantly, was Kyle Long actually arrested?

 

[Ra's al Ghul]

No, it's just a pic from instagram

 

[BigShoulders]

Donald also had 32 3/4 arms, two inches longer than Sutton.

Kareem Martin is a beast and will probably move up the board based on measurables. Hageman is a beast as well and I think Emery will target both these guys.

North Team

The North team had three quarterbacks who basically hit their expected numbers. Clemson's Tajh Boyd (6-0, 222), Miami's Stephen Morris (6-1, 208) and Virginia Tech's Logan Thomas (6-5, 250) are all in the range they were expected to be. Thomas (10 3/4) has some huge hands while Boyd's muscular bulk suggests he has been a dedicated patron of the weight room. Thomas is a real physical specimen. If he performs well this week, his stock could really rise because he has the size and athletic ability that teams yearn for in a starting quarterback.

Notre Dame offensive tackle Zack Martin (6-4, 305) was exactly as he was listed by the Fighting Irish. It was good that Martin wasn't any smaller than expected, however his arm length (32 1/4) is short for tackle and that could cause a lot of teams to project moving Martin inside to guard. If he does slide inside, he would fit best in a zone blocking system.

Minnesota defensive tackle Ra'Shede Hageman (6-6, 318) is put together pretty well with some room to grow in his chest. Scouts that were impressed with Hageman when he walked on stage.

Stanford outside linebacker Trent Murphy (6-5, 252) was an inch shorter and about 10 pounds lighter than listed. Murphy is going to need to add weight if he is drafted by a 4-3 team to play defensive end.

West Virginia defensive end Will Clarke (6-6, 271) has the body to stay as a 4-3 end but also has a frame that he could expand. If he is drafted by a 3-4 team, he could get bigger to play defensive end.

Pitt defensive tackle Aaron Donald (6-0, 288) has a some serious muscle in his chest and arms. He has a huge upper body, and scouts were talking about how he looked stout. Unfortunately, Donald is probably maxed out in terms of weight. He still is very strong for his size and looks like he spends a lot of time in the weight room.




Tennessee defensive tackle Daniel McCullers is the largest man in Mobile. He has biggest measurments in height (6-6), weight (348), wingspan (85 1/2) and arm length (35 5/8) with the second-largest hands (10 5/8). 3-4 teams looking for a nose tackle are going to be watching McCullers closely.

Wisconsin wide receiver Jared Abbrederis (6-0, 189) measured in shorter and lighter than expected. Abbrederis looks like a slot receiver type.

Oregon's Josh Huff is also a slot receiver candidate. Huff (5-11, 201) is very strong and cut up.

If he can run with receivers you can expect some comparisons to the Seahawks cornerbacks with Stanley Jean-Baptiste out of Nebraska. Jean-Baptiste (6-2, 215) is big and has good length. If receivers consistently get separation in man coverage, he'll be projected to safety.

Baylor guard Cyril Richardson (6-4, 343) is big and his weight isn't all bad, but he would be better off turning some flab into muscle.

Missouri outside linebacker Michael Sam (6-0, 260) is very strong for his size. He is shorter than preferred, but at least he has the strength to battle offensive linemen as an edge rusher.





South Team:

Georgia Tech's Jeremiah Attaochu and BYU's Kyle Van Noy both are put together well. Attaochu (6-3, 252) is a little bigger than Van Noy (6-3, 244), but Van Noy has room to grow. Each player looks like they would be fits as 3-4 outside linebackers. They also looked athletic enough during their collegiate careers to potentially have the flexibility to play some on the inside, especially Van Noy. Each one could thrive in the pass rushing one-on-ones this week.

Fresno State quarterback Derek Carr (6-2, 215) is built pretty solid, but he isn't big. Carr is an inch shorter and a few pounds lighter than his listed numbers. Carr's hand size (9 1/8 inches) is smaller than ideal.

Last week at the East-West Shrine, we wrote that Eastern Illinois quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo was smaller than his listed numbers, and that was proven to be a reality. Garoppolo (6-2, 219) is shorter than the 6-foot-3 he was billed to be and also had the smallest hands (9 inches) of any quarterback at the Senior Bowl. Garoppolo wouldn't be considered small, but doesn't have a size attribute really working for him.

Oklahoma cornerback Aaron Colvin (5-11, 186) needs to hit the weight room. He has a slight build that is going to need more strength or big NFL receivers will push him around. Colvin also doesn't have length, as he has some short arms (31 inches).

Mississippi State guard Gabe Jackson is built powerfully and is not flabby. Jackson (6-3, 339) looks like a perfect fit in a power man blocking scheme as road-grading right guard. If he does well in pass rushing one-on-ones, his stock could rise.




Virginia offensive tackle Morgan Moses (6-6, 325) and North Dakota State tackle Billy Turner (6-5, 316) both need to spend time in an NFL strength and conditioning program. They look flabby without a lot of power in their chest and arms. Turner could end up being viewed as a guard depending on how he performs this week.

Florida wideout Solomon Patton (5-8, 179) and Oklahoma wide receiver Jalen Saunders (5-8, 164) both look too small to be NFL receivers. Some prospects like Tavon Austin and DeSean Jackson have beaten the trend, but those players are few and far between.

BYU wideout Cody Hoffman (6-3, 219) is a specimen. He is big, strong and cut up. If Hoffman runs well in practice with the speed to separate, the Senior Bowl could be huge for him.

Arizona State defensive tackle Will Sutton (6-0, 315) had scouts sitting around WalterFootball.com chuckling about his flabby midsection. Sutton gained weight for his senior year, and it was bad weight. He probably would be better off dropping 15 pounds and just living and dying by his speed and explosion.

Virginia defensive end Brent Urban (6-6, 298) is put together well. He has some height, weight and length to him. Urban looks like an ideal five technique defensive end in a 3-4 defense.

Winner and losers from the weigh in

http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/...draft-senior-bowl-weigh-in-winners-and-losers

Winners

Deone Bucannon, S, Washington State: At a shade under 6-feet-1 and 216 pounds, Bucannon certainly passed the eyeball test, sporting a muscled-up frame that stood out in comparison to the other safeties in this game. With a 78-inch wingspan, Bucannon also had the widest of any of the safeties measured.

Ra'Shede Hagemen, DT, Minnesota: Another highly regarded lineman who showed impressive weight distribution, measuring in at exactly 6-6 and 318 pounds. His arms (33¾ inches) were also among the longest of any of the defensive tackles measured Monday.

Losers

Chris Borland, ILB, Wisconsin: Borland has been compared to former Miami Dolphins stud linebacker Zach Thomas for much of his career and his instincts and open-field tackling ability warrant the mention. He looked smaller on stage than his official height (5-11 3/8 inches) and weight (245), however, and tied with former teammate, running back James White, with the shortest arms of any player measured Monday (28 5/8 inches).

Adrian Hubbard, OLB/DE, Alabama: Scouts will be intrigued with Hubbard's length at nearly 6-6 but there was surprisingly little muscular development on his 255-pound frame. For a player coming off a disappointing junior season and yet elected to enter the NFL Draft with a year of collegiate eligibility remaining, it wasn't the best impression to make.

Telvin Smith, ILB, Florida State: Smith's speed is certain to get him drafted but teams may have to move him outside or perhaps drop him back to safety with a frame that looks packed out at 218 pounds.

Will Sutton, DT, Arizona State: Though he was listed at 265 pounds for much of his career with the Sun Devils, scouts knew that Sutton was in fact much bigger. He gained more weight for his senior season and wasn't as effective in 2013, despite the fact that he was rewarded with the Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year award. Some of that extra weight was clearly around his middle as Sutton weighed in at 315 pounds at just under 6-1. Worse, his 30 5/8-inch arms were the shortest of any of the defensive tackles measured Monday.

 

[Ra's al Ghul]

I wouldn't mind drafting Telvin Smith and moving him to safety if scouts feel that he can't add more weight to his frame.

2014 NFL Combine: Weigh-In Recap - Quarterbacks

The quarterback who helped himself the most at the weigh in was Central Florida's Blake Bortles. He checked in at 6-foot-5, 232-pounds. That is excellent size for an NFL quarterback and really separates Bortles from Johnny Manziel and Teddy Bridgewater. Bortles has ideal size to be a pocket passer. He has an arm to throw well on the field work and the mobility to do well in the field drills. Bortles could be one of the standouts of the Combine.

Louisville quarterback Teddy Bridgewater needed to hit 200 pounds at the weigh in to address concerns around the NFL about his frame. Sources told WalterFootball.com that they were worried that Bridgewater didn't have the bulk to stay healthy once the hits from NFL defensive linemen started adding up. Well, at 6-foot-2, 214 pounds, Bridgewater eased those concerns. It would be good if he could end up in the 220s.

Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel measured in shorter than anticipated. The 5-foot-11, 207-pound Manziel was two inches shorter than his listed height by the Aggies, but he was seven pounds heavier. Manziel is around expectations; scouts knew that he wasn't 6-foot-1 like Texas A&M claimed. Manziel being over 200 pounds was important. Surprisingly, Manziel had bigger hands (9 7/8) than Bortles (9 3/8) or Bridgewater (9 1/4).



Both of the Tennessee offensive tackles showed excellent size at the weigh-in. Left tackle Antonio Richardson (6-6, 336) and right tackle Ju'wuan James (6-6, 311) both have 35-inch arms. Richardson enters the Combine as a potential first-round pick, while James could go early on Day 2.

Alabama quarterback A.J. McCarron (6-3, 220) was an inch shorter and six pounds heavier than his listed numbers. McCarron has solid measurements, but his throwing ability is the biggest question mark. McCarron doesn't have a very strong arm and didn't have to fit a lot of throws into tight windows. After skipping the Senior Bowl, McCarron was smart to change his mind and throw at the Combine.

LSU quarterback Zach Mettenberger (6-5, 224) was almost exactly as billed. His height was accurate and he was six pounds lighter. Unfortunately, Mettenberger's late-season ACL tear will keep him from working out at the Combine.

Virginia Tech quarterback Logan Thomas (6-5, 250) is one of the wild cards in the draft. Thomas has the largest hands of any quarterback at 10 7/8. With size, strength, athleticism and quickness Thomas should be a Combine standout.



West Texas A&M quarterback Dustin Vaughan (6-5, 235) and Northern Illinois quarterback Jordan Lynch (6-0, 217) tied for the smallest hands among the quarterbacks at 8 7/8. Lynch would be better off switching positions to have a shot at an NFL career.

North Carolina quarterback Bryn Renner (6-3, 228) had the accurate height, but he was 13 pounds heavier than his listed numbers. Renner needs to impress teams in the lead up to the draft to make sure he gets drafted.

2014 NFL Combine: Giant receivers earning buzz at weigh-ins

http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/...ine-giant-receivers-earning-buzz-at-weigh-ins

While the flavor of the month in the NFL may be small quarterbacks and tall cornerbacks, teams have always held big receivers in high regard.

This fact likely played a role in a quartet of hulking underclassmen -- Texas A&M's Mike Evans, Florida State's Kelvin Benjamin, Penn State's Allen Robinson and Clemson's Martavis Bryant -- declaring early for the 2014 draft.

As Seattle Seahawks' head coach Pete Carroll noted Friday, "There are a lot fewer of the tall guys because it's really hard to be tall and fast."

Their great size stands out among the 13 highly regarded underclassmen receivers who were measured Friday at the Combine. The thick builds of Clemson's Sammy Watkins (211 pounds), LSU's Jarvis Landry (205 pounds), Fresno State's Davante Adams (212 pounds), South Carolina's Bruce Ellington (197 pounds) is an indication of the strength and aggression with which they play the game. This size gives each the potential to handle slot duties as well as playing on the outside, potentially boosting their stock that much more.

Players are listed alphabetically:

Davante Adams, Fresno State -- 6-foot 7/8 , 212 pounds

Odell Beckham, LSU -- 5-foot-11 1/4, 198 pounds

Kelvin Benjamin, Florida State -- 6-foot-5, 240 pounds

Martavis Bryant, Clemson -- 6-foot-3 1/2, 211 pounds

Brandin Cooks, Oregon State -- 5-foot-9 3/4, 189 pounds

Bruce Ellington, South Carolina -- 5-foot-09 3/8, 197 pounds

Mike Evans, Texas A&M -- 6-foot-4 3/4, 231 pounds

Austin Franklin, New Mexico State -- 5-foot-11 7/8, 189 pounds

Jarvis Landry, LSU -- 5-foot-11, 205 pounds

Marqise Lee, Southern Cal -- 5-foot-11 3/4, 192 pounds

Paul Richardson, Colorado -- 6-foot 3/8, 175 pounds

Allen Robinson, Penn State -- 6-foot-2 5/8, 220 pounds

Sammy Watkins, Clemson -- 6-foot 3/4, 211 pounds
