Preston Brown and Khairi Fortt are a couple interesting guys on that list. Good times. Brown has questionable instincts, especially in pass coverage, but he'll thump in the run game. Kinda Bostic-esque. Fortt was highly recruited to Penn St (Linebacker U). Transferred to CAL and that program was an absolute mess. Everyone leaves early, coaching staff is terrible. But solid 40 time, best bench for LBs at 30. Good frame. And he showed flashes of being a future star at Penn St.

2014 NFL Combine: Field Drills Recap - Linebackers

Buffalo's Khalil Mack has been getting a ton of hype during and leading up to the Combine. He had a solid performance on Monday. He didn't blow the Combine away, but he didn't do anything to hurt himself either. Mack had a respectable 40 time of 4.65 with a 10-yard split of 1.56. He tied two others including Anthony Barr for the second fastest 10-yard split. Mack got better in the field drills as he went along, and he did well overall. Mack's stock should be holding steady.

UCLA outside linebacker Anthony Barr (6-5, 255) didn't have a bad performance, but expectations for Barr were probably too high. He ran the 40 in 4.66 seconds with 1.56 10-yard split. Barr did well in the field drills, but he clearly needs some NFL development in the weight room and in terms of honing his craft as an outside linebacker. Keep in mind he was playing offense two years ago. Barr's stock shouldn't see a big impact from the Combine.

Wisconsin linebacker Chris Borland is a favorite player among some draft pundits. Borland (5-11, 248) is a thumper, blue-collar linebacker. He's short and slow, so it wasn't surprising that he didn't perform well at the Combine. Borland's 40 time was 4.83, and he looked stiff in the field drills. While some love Borland, the question is will be able to stay on the field when a team needs their linebacker to play pass coverage. Borland didn't provide proof that he should stay on the field.

There were two linebackers who helped themselves significantly on Monday. The Combine star was Florida State linebacker Telvin Smith. Smith ran the 40-yard dash in a blistering time of 4.52 seconds with a 10-yard split of 1.53. Smith (6-3, 218) did well in the field drills as well. He is a very fast and fluid athlete. It looked like a defensive back was doing the linebacker drills. Smith could be a day-two pick, but in order to be an every down defender, he needs to add weight for the NFL.

The other linebacker who really stood out was Boston College's Kevin Pierre-Louis. Pierre-Louis (6-0, 232) had a 40 time of 4.51. He also looked fast in the field work. Coming in as a potential third-day pick, Pierre-Louis used the Combine to cause evaluators to give him more consideration.

Alabama linebacker C.J. Mosley didn't run the 40-yard dash, but he did well in the field work. Mosley showed good feet, quickness, loose hips and fluid athleticism.

Stanford linebacker Trent Murphy didn't impress at the Combine. Murphy is a tough, physical football player and isn't well suited to stand out at the Combine. His 40 time was slower at 4.86, and he wasn't as fluid in the field work. Murphy (6-5, 250) should be a 3-4 outside linebacker at the next level, and he'll improve his ability to play in space over time in the NFL.

BYU linebacker Kyle Van Noy was solid at the Combine. He got better and looked more fluid as the drills progressed. Van Noy (6-3, 243) ran the 40 in 4.71 seconds with a 10-yard split of 1.60. He could be used in a variety of ways in the NFL. Van Noy would have been drafted higher if had come out a year ago.

There were a number of noteworthy linebackers who didn't work out at the Combine. That group included Ohio State's Ryan Shazier, Stanford's Shayne Skov, Utah's Trevor Reilly, Georgia Tech's Jeremiah Attaochu and Western Kentucky's Andrew Jackson.

This guy was a complete trainwreck out there today in every drill. Mayock looks like an idiot claiming he's the #5 LB, meanwhile he's on his anti-clowney soapbox.

Bench Press Analysis - Defensive Backs

Oklahoma State cornerback Justin Gilbert is in the running to be the first cornerback selected in the 2014 NFL Draft, and he got his Combine off to a great start with 20 reps on the bench press. That was the second-highest total of any cornerback. The 6-foot, 200-pound Gilbert has developed his body well and has the strength to battle receivers. If Gilbert performs well in the field drills and 40-yard dash, he could end up in the top 10.

Michigan State cornerback Darqueze Dennard (5-11, 191) produced 15 reps on the bench press. It wasn't a bad total and won't present any red flags for Dennard.

Louisville safety Calvin Pryor had a quality total of 18 reps on the bench press. That was a respectable showing from the 5-11, 207-pounder. He measued in smaller than expected, so it was good for him to get a positive result out of the bench press.

Alabama safety HaHa Clinton-Dix (6-1, 208) had a disappointing total on the bench press with only 11 reps. For a safety above 200 pounds, one would think that Clinton-Dix could have produced a better total.

Minnesota defensive back Brock Vereen (6-0, 199) had 25 reps to lead all of the defensive backs. That is an impressive total that fell three short of last year's top number among defensive backs produced by Steelers safety Shamarko Thomas. Vereen played safety and cornerback in college, so he could help himself a lot if continues to show flexibility at the Combine.

The lowest total of any defensive back who participated came from Florida cornerback Loucheiz Purifoy. He had only six reps on the bench press. Purifoy (5-11, 191) also checked in smaller than advertised. He should have returned for his senior year, and his Combine is off to a terrible start.

Florida cornerback Marcus Roberson (6-0, 191) had eight reps on the bench press. That's not as bad as Purifoy, but definitely another poor performance. Roberson is a cover corner, but he could use more strength for defending big receivers.

One can't attribute Roberson and Purifoy's total to Florida's strength program because teammate Jaylen Watkins led all the cornerbacks at the Combine with 22 reps on the bench press. Watkins (5-11, 194) is basically the same size as his teammates, but he was far more dedicated in the weight room. Watkins had a good Senior Bowl, and now his Combine is off to an impressive start.

Northern Illinois safety Jimmie Ward (5-11, 193) is viewed as a second-day pick. His lack of size is one of the reasons why he isn't being viewed as a first-rounder. Ward's nine reps on the bench press show that he could use more strength for the next level.

Oregon State cornerback Rashaad Reynolds (5-10, 189) and South Carolina cornerback Victor Hamption (5-9, 197) are smaller, nickel cornerbacks for the NFL, so it was very impressive that they each put up 20 reps on the bench press. Reynolds and Hampton both need to perform well at the Combine to help their cause. Both were able to do so on Monday.

Vanderbilt safety Kenny Ladler (6-0, 207) had the second-highest total among defensive backs with 24 reps. Ladler passes the eyeball test and is a tough player, but he needs to show good speed and agility in the field work to help his draft stock.

Ohio State cornerback Bradley Roby (5-11, 194) produced a good total of 17 reps on the bench press. Roby needs to blow up the Combine in order to overcome the damage done by a poor junior season. He is off to a decent start.

There were a number of notable defensive backs who didn't participate in the bench press. That group included USC safety Dion Bailey, Utah cornerback Keith McGill, Oregon cornerback Terrance Mitchell, Wisconsin safety Dez Southward and TCU cornerback Jason Verrett.
