2010 Combine

I could see Shanahan going after Hardesty in the 4th if he's still around.

Or Tennant the Center from Boston College who has been drawing comparisons to former Bronco's all pro center Tom Nalen, and also at the combine finished as a top performer for the 20 yd dash, 40 yd dash, and 3 cone drill.

Hardesty has been drawing comparisons to portis, and hey we can always replace one portis for another.

Yeah I know.

But teams are definitely drooling over this guy right now mainly because of how he looks and his measurables. I just think you need to be careful and not overrate him is all. I mean who cares about his 40 time?

I just read a review on Bruce Campbell and basically what it said was this. "With his performance during the combine he's moving up the boards. He's athletic and a workout warrior. But....he has only started 17 games, misses a lot of blocks and doesn't possess a mean streak. Some coach is going to draft him in the first round thinking he can get him to perform up to his potential....and fail." I think this is where mistakes are made in the draft and I can see why. It's easy to fall in love with these guys because of their measurables, but that doesn't make them a football player. Your point is well taken Matty. BC could easily go either way. 17 games is not much to go on.

Damn ive been talkin about Hardesty for awhile. Said he looks like he would thrive in a zone blocking scheme since he's been accustomed to it. Plus he doesnt have alot of mileage on him because he was sharing carries until he was more the focal point his senior year. He was originally projected as a 4th round pick, but with teams like Houston and Seattle running Zone blocking schemes and their desperate need for a RB, i dont see how he can slip to the 4th with such a strong showing at the combine. Speed AND power. I hope, whether it be trading down or shippin out carlos rogers (cuz of signing Robinson), that we get a 3rd round pick back so we can take him with that pick. If we didnt need OLineman so bad i wouldnt mind takin him in the 2nd round but i think we pick too high in the 2nd for him. Agree?

By the way he performed yesterday, I dont know if he will be there by the time we pick in the 4th. He did a whole lot of good for his stock at the combine.

As others have said it is encouraging that this RB class is deep, lets hope the one we pick up, if or when we do, can hold onto the ball.

Skelton ran a 4.85 (http://walterfootball.com/combine2010QB.php), not a 4.5

Whoops :)

That's what I meant to write. Under a 4.5 for a guy his size would have been redonkulous

I know people are sooo tired of my Tebow man-crush, but today he measured 6-3 236, had a 38 inch vertical, has the biggest hands of any qb at the combine (10 1/8 inches) and ran a 4.7 all the while crushing the interviews. (http://blogs.nfl.com/2010/02/28/tebow-wows-teams-in-interview-sessions/) If he can clean up that throwing motion....


Not to sound gay but he has some incrediable legs. He does remind me of a full back type.

There was a huge debate about Tebow on the NFL Netwrok between a few of the annoucers it got pretty heated.

Agreed.

From those workout clips they keep showing it looks like his new motion is a lot quicker, he doesn't drop the ball down like he used to. Now whether he can be completely comfortable with the new motion and accurate in live action is yet to be seen. We'll find out at his pro day.

We might work out a trade down which would give us an extra choice in the second and/or third, a choice which might be used on Hardesty.

what was bount's 40 time. Good to see McCluster do well... he gonna be a star in the league
