🏈 ***OFFICIAL NFL Draft Scouting Combine Coverage Thread***

The combines are a meat show. The evaluation for these kids often goes to the insane with anal-retentive draft gurus like McShay telling everyone who's the next great thing with his tape measure. The difference between players in shorts and players in pads can be frightening. If I was an All-American and projected high, you couldn't drag me to that meat market.

"Guru".

Did I hear you tongue firmly planted in your cheek with that one?

Prime example would be that WR that got drafted last year or the year before that ran something around a 4.28. Excellent straightline speed but his route running was shit and anyone with 2 iron skillets in their hands could catch better. The team is already trying to unload him.
 
Never thought Murray would make 5’9 much less than 5’10 and a hair. Also, over 200lbs!!?

Basically, near identical measures as Russell Wilson when he came out.
The underwear Olympics.

Seeing so many get some sort of personal validation when the numbers came back with Murray was both sad and delightful. I can't recall seeing so many adopt an "I told you so" stance about his measurements to support their projections for how he'll do in the league. It was literally, "you mean he put up those numbers and he's taller than 5'10"?" I don't recall anyone questioning his numbers.
