It's simply crazy for teams to place a lot of stock in the combine. If a good combine=a good player, Robert McCune would be an All-Pro by now.

Very true. B-Mitch was talking about the combine today. There are combine prep schools now that train the players on how to get the best numbers.
At the end of the day what really matters is how they perform against elite competition, not how many times they benched 225 or how fast they ran a 40.
Btw, all accounts are that Calvin Johnson is an absolute freak of nature. He has the best hands, jumps the highest and runs in the 4.3's at over 230 pounds. Last but not least, no one could stop him last year.
Whoever gets him is going to be lighting cigars on draft day.
