    Jared Goff: 6040, 215, 9 hand

    Dane Brugler ‏@dpbrugler 12m12 minutes ago
    9-inch hands for Goff. Not ideal but not a deal-breaker. Others similar: Carr (9 1/8"), Tannehill (9"), Kap (9 1/8")

    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

        Jaylon Smith said he really enjoyed formal interview with #Packers: "Yes. I love them. Mike McCarthy ... wow. That was a great interview."

        Ryan Wood ‏@ByRyanWood 29m29 minutes ago
        Smith said #Packers among 23 formal interviews at combine. He knows his fit in GB. "One thing I bring to the table is the coverage aspect."

        Difficult day for #NotreDame LB Jaylon Smith, who had his medicals. Ankle & knee nerve issues, teams believe he's out for 2016 -- at least

        Ohio State's Darron Lee says he has a formal meeting with #Packers tomorrow at NFL scouting combine. He sees himself as an ILB in 3-4 D.

            Don't you think the source of this could be a team that would like Smith to slip to them?

              Oh, absolutely. We are in silly season right now.

                I thought the medicals were shared? Isn't that one of the (original) reasons for having the combine?
                Nevertheless, I wouldn't doubt someone spreading a false rumor about his medical in hopes he slips to them. It is definitely silly season.

                If it is true, knee + ankle nerve issues could be serious.

                  I believe this:

                  If LBer Jaylon Smith slips all the way to the NOP. 27 pick I hope the Packers take a moment of serious thought and nab him dependant on the medical care he's undergone. He looks like a steal at NO. 27.

                  I believe other teams will see this and he's off the board well before the Packers pick in Rd. 1

                  OLB Darron Lee most likely won't be available at NO. 27. He's a TOP 20 Pick.

                    If anyone is watching the combine now, the TE class is going to do their work-out, so we can see who jumps out.

                      Jerrell Adams of South Carolina was the only TE who ran the 40 who had any serious speed. Many TE's, including Henry, decided not to run the 40. Adams is in the 4.6 range. The others looked more like small OT's, and some ran like it. Now we'll see what Adams looks like on-field. Walter Football has Adams as the 3rd ranked TE behind Henry and Austin Hooper. Keep an eye on Jerrell Adams.

                        Mayock had Hunter Henry, AR, Austin Hooper, Stanford, and Jerrell Adams, SC as the top three performers at TE.

                        A day two guy might be Nick Vannett of OSU who has nice hands, but needs to hit the weight room. He only had 16 or 17 reps, but I like his potential.

                        Interesting prospects at TE, likely day three guys are Jake McGee of FL and Beau Sandlands of Montana State (transferred from the U)

                          Surprised Vannett "only" put up 16 or 17 reps. He was supposedly underused in OSU's offense, mostly as a blocker.
                          He's something like 6'6" 260, so pretty big dude. I've read mixed things about McGee but agree as a late round pick might be a good value prospect.

                          Just checked the bench results. Hunter Henry put up 13 reps, most TE's were i the 17-20 range. Maybe 17 isn't so bad...

                          Heard interesting things about Jerell Adams and Bryce Williams from ECU.

                            Just saw the 40 times for WR's. Not much speed this year.

                              Yeah, I saw that. This is an overall slow year for WR's. I think that might help Braxton Miller's cause, who ran a 4.5 He may not be a polished receiver yet, but he's a dynamic athlete, and I'd take my chances on on him.

                              They were saying the ECU kid Bryce Williams was not really an inline blocker, and he's not particularly fast, but he has good hands. Kind of a slower Eric Ebron.
