Okay, here's something that confuses me. At the Senior Bowl, Michigan DE Brandon Graham measures an arm length of just over 30". At the combine, he measured 32 1/4"... I understand how a guy can work on his broad jump, his bench, or his 40 yard dash to get ready for the combine... but what do you do to make your arms longer?

didn't you learn anything from being a kid?Originally posted by Lurker64
there's 2 things you can do to increase arm length. one way is to attach weights or large rocks to the ends of your arms and let your arms hang by your sides for a few days
or
you can grab on to the bar in a closet and hang there for a bit
more modern and radical methods are cutting the bone in you fore arm and adding a 1 inch plug, then gluing it all back together with gorilla glue, making sure to secure the parts with duct tape so nothing is able to move while the glue sets
as far as i know those are the only ways to gain 2+ inches in a couple weeks
or maybe someone screwed up a measurement somewhere, but that seems like a stretchComment

Man, there is some stuff on the web that should just go straight to the garbage can. Like Bob McGinn's review of possible players of interest to Packers. I could have written that from Lurker's posts.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.Comment

Having Jason Pierre-Paul as a OLB is just weird. I mean, sure he could probably do it while he's still young and healthy since he's a hell of an athlete, but it would be a terrible mismanagement of resources. JPP is a thousand times more valuable to a team looking for a 4-3 DE, than a team looking for a 3-4 OLB. You have to pay a premium for your 270 lb very explosive, very strong guys as there just aren't enough of them. It's the same reason I thought the Robert Ayers pick by the Broncos last year was just weird. When you take a guy with prototypical RDE measurables who has never, ever played in space and ask him to play OLB, it just seems like a waste. If the Broncos really wanted a pass rusher at #18 last year... you probably could have traded back a bit if Ayers is really the top pick on your board last year. Since if he's the top pass rusher on your board at this point and you're a 3-4 team, something strange has happened with your personnel department and there's almost certainly a 4-3 team willing to give you something for him.Originally posted by redpete dougherty's article is even worseOriginally posted by pbmaxMan, there is some stuff on the web that should just go straight to the garbage can.

It's not a given that JPP will actually get past the Raiders this year, as Al Davis is spoiled for choice: he can have Bruce Campbell, Taylor Mays, or Jason Pierre-Paul!</delurk>Comment

IMO he'll take campbell or mays. they both have what al looks for in a first round draft pick. great looking freakish athletes that suck at actually playing the gameComment
