2017 NFL Combine

[gbgary]

yup, somehow in a contract year he was able to play through an injury for once

think he'll play next year if he gets the same injury?

yes. it's obvious this locker room has some strong personalities that understand where the Packers are. what it takes to advance. several guys played hurt last year. he's coming of age. he's gotten better every year. now let him go? no. Packers have to get better, not worse. who'd you replace him with?

The Boldin Paradox: Why the Combine doesn't produce outright numbers that correlate to success in an NFL career.

[Deputy Nutz]

Holy Balls! Looking at the combine numbers on some of these cornerbacks and they are very intriguing to say the least. There is speed and size throughout this draft class. The Packers or any other team that is in need of a outside coverage should have some spittle at the edge of their mouths, you Ted already does.

Guys that stand out per their numbers at the combine

Jaylen Myrick minnesota
5'10" 200lbs
4.28 40
37.5 vert
If the Packers don't want to spend a first round pick on a corner he might be available late in the second round but he probably isn't going to last to the end of the third round. He excels in man coverage and his knock is his lack of height. He might fit well as a inside cover guy. his 3 cone was a bit average just over 7 seconds. He is also a return guy. Not a big impact in the run game, sort of got man handled by bigger receivers but he plays alot of man coverage

Fabian Moreau UCLA
6'0" 206lbs
4.35 40
38" vert
He is a man on man defender, he looks good covering the outside receiver. Not much in terms of run support. I think he is a better football player than Myrick. Reads routes really well, good instincts. Packers would probably have to take him in the first round

Kevin King Washington
6-3 200
4.43 40
39.5 vert
Great speed and jump, under 4 seconds on his shuttle. His numbers and height are the first thing you notice and you really want to like him. He doesn't have the greatest instincts, and he is pretty grabby with his hands. he seems unsure of himself when in zone, and his instincts hinder him at times when he is man coverage.

Ahkello Witherspoon Colorado
6-3 198
4.45 40
40.5" vert
This guy on film can run with John Ross. He is a crap tackler and doesn't want to partake in the run game, but he has the height, speed, and jumping ability to play the outside and match up against bigger wide receiver in the NFL. Witherspoon could fit nicely in Green Bay but the Packers would have to use a 1st round pick to solidify him coming to Green Bay. Some team could scoop him up in the second round because of his size and jumping ability. That type of combination doesn't last long in drafts, teams are willing to take a risk to protect against the jump ball down field.

Brian Allen Utah
6-3 215
4.48 40
34.5" vert
Can't find a highlight or game film on him on youtube, but I am intrigued with his size and speed. His vertical jump is about average or below but the height helps out

Good job, Nutz

Everybody is raving about this year's CB draft class.

MB we can snag one of 'em.

One? Let's grab one at the high end of the draft, and then go get another one in the fifth round. And maybe this time not guys who played lacrosse last year.

Agreed! One in the 1st/2nd and back again in the 4th/5th. Unless they bring House back, then i'd be ok with a 2nd/3rd or 4th being spent on one. Still think when healthy R&R can be solid.
