2016 Combine

LBs w/size:


Josh Perry-Ohio State
6'4''--254--40: 4.68 (10 split)1.67 vert 33.5--- college OLB that may be positionless in the NFL, I would love him inside at ILB and maybe move to edge on 3rd. Big strong kid that moves well for his size

Steven Daniels-Boston College
5'11'' 243--4.86--1.68 v 32 ---tackling machine in college, downhill thumper, moved okay in drills


Jared Norris-Utah
6'1" 241--4.8--1.65 v29.5---lil stiff in drills, upright

Tyler Makatevich-Temple
6' 231--4.81--1.68 v31 ---another tackling machine; good movement in drills

Nick Kwiatkowski-WV
6'2 243 4.73--1.64 v32---Smooth in drills

CJ Johnson-Miss
6'1" 234--4.81--1.71 ---A lil stiff in drills

6'1 242--4.71--1.65 v34.5---thumper type, moved well in drill

Joe Schobert
6'1 244 4.67--1.63 v33.5---another college OLB that can maybe kick inside smooth in drills

Reggie Ragland
6'1 247 4.72--1.66 v31.5---Okay in drills, lil choppy

Scooby Wright
6 239 4.9--1.67 v31----solid college mlb, won bunch of LB awards 2 years ago, coming off injury, decent in the drill

Blake Martinez
6'1 239 4.71 v28.5---good movement

Agreed about trying him inside. Very good Combine all-around for him. I wrote "Mike LB" in my notes.

Strong as an ox! Also fast with long arms.

Joe Schobert
6'1 244 4.67--1.63 v33.5---another college OLB that can maybe kick inside smooth in drills

He surprised me. Ran well and I thought he was excellent in drills. Short arms.

Reggie Ragland
6'1 247 4.72--1.66 v31.5---Okay in drills, lil choppy

Agree about drills but he checked out as advertised.

Scooby Wright
6 239 4.9--1.67 v31----solid college mlb, won bunch of LB awards 2 years ago, coming off injury, decent in the drill

I thought he looked terrible in drills and he ran slow. I wonder if he has recovered from his leg and foot injuries.

Blake Martinez
6'1 239 4.71 v28.5---good movement

Good Combine but he didn't impress me on tape.



Kyle Fackrell 6-5 245 4.72 --- Ran well, OK in drills, said to be good on ST. Could be a nice later round pickup.

Some players who looked good in conversion drills who might be good 3-4 OLB prospects:

Shilique Calhoun 6-4 251 4.83 --- ran slow but looked good in drills. I think he can cover. Need to check that 40 time at his pro day.

Kamalei Correa 6-3 243 4.7 --- Terrific athlete but very short arms. Could move inside.

Noah Spence 6-2 251 4.8 --- Slow 40 but a good 10-yard split. Did not look good in space. Might be a pass rusher only.

Shaq Lawson 6-3 269 4.7 --- I dont think he can cover either. Might be a 4-3 DE.

Yannick Ngakoue 6-2 252 4.75 --- Looked very smooth and comfortable in conversion drills.

Emmanuel Ogbah and Charles Tapper are two amazing big athletes who have every physical trait a team could ever want. I don't know anything about them as football players but Ogbah did OK in the conversion drills.

Didnt watch alot of the DL, i got some work to do there.

But generally speaking I'm never very worried about the coverage ability of an edge rusher.

Don't know much about the other guys but...
I like Spence, Lawson and Ogbah they proly get drafted in reverse order above. PFF was raving about Ogbah prior to the combine. Will post later.

For the ILB I was specifically looking for guys that were stout with an eye to helping out the run game. Even tho most of these guys have size some of them are scheme protected so u don't get to see them stack and shed

I watched the Interior D-Lineman drills. Most of the known studs checked out both in their measurements and their drills.

To be specific, these players looked like the real deal to me:

Andrew Billings - Very impressive quickness and power.
Joey Bosa - The Energizer Bunny. Versatile.
DeForest Buckner - Made everything look easy.
Jonathan Bullard - Fast, quick, and strong. May be a 4-3 guy at 285 pounds.
Kenny Clark - Great in drills.
Robert Nkemdiche - Amazing athlete at 294 pounds.
Sheldon Rankins - Runs well, very quick with great balance, and strong.
Jarran Reed - Top notch athlete.
A'Shawn Robinson - Same as Reed. Does Alabama have a 3-D printer for D-Lineman?

That makes 9 D-Linemen who could be 1st Round picks, IMHO.

Interior Linemen whose numbers and/or drills disappointed:

Austin Johnson
Adolphus Washington

Interior Linemen who surprised in a good way:

Sheldon Day - Very quick and runs well.
Javon Hargrave - Big, strong, fast, and worked out well. From South Carolina State!
Willie Henry - Has all the measureables and worked out well.
Matt Ioannidis - Big, very strong, and very athletic.
Hassan Ridgeway - Good drills, showed real power.
Jihad Ward - Looked very good in drills. Tall with long arms.

Scares the heck out me with his off the field stuff...but the kid can play

Sheldon Rankins - Runs well, very quick with great balance, and strong.
His movement ability is surprisingly nimble

Reminds me a lot of Rankings

Javon Hargrave - Big, strong, fast, and worked out well. From South Carolina State!Can you believe cbs/nfldraftscout has (had maybe soon) him as a 4th rounder?

Matt Ioannidis - Big, very strong, and very athletic.Carried over a good senior bowl performance

Jihad Ward - Looked very good in drills. Tall with long arms
I don't know much about other then freakish athleticism he showed on that dunk, but the physical talent he displayed there was impressive enough to make me want to watch him on film

I hate that many of the top DBs didn't run.
Disappointed in D/Thompson
Impressive 40s from TJ Green and T.Powell make me want to see them on film

KJ Dillon did enough to put him on my draft list

Post combine question at pick 21:

If Noah Spence vs Emmanuel Ogbah vs Josh Doctsun vs Reggie Ragland vs Sheldon Rankins vs Mackenzie Alexander are available and you can't trade down who do you take?

With the draft so deep at DT/DE, I take either Ragland or Doctsun. I know I didn't answer the question, but I'd narrow it down to those two.

Now, if I'm future-proofing my team with the expectation of losing either Garcon or Jackson (or both) I take Doctsun. WRs make me nervous as hell, but I'd be fine on living with Compton and Mason for a season or two.

30, imo you listed guys who are late first rounders/borderline 2nd rounds. Ragland probably, Rankin 2nd choice

I think Spence, Ok st and WR go in the second round.

Alexander CB probably goes in the first. Sidenote ive heard a lot of bad things about his tape lately. The main thing is, its not good and he benefited from good safety play and the best Dline in college.

Ragland, in a heart beat.

My rankings right now:

Emmanuel Ogbah
Noah Spence
Mackenzie Alexander
Doctsun
Rankins
Ragland
