DRAFT RISER ALERT. Texas Tech's Nic Shimonek(QB) was the surprise star of the drills. His dropback and delivery are smooth and quick, and his anticipation and accuracy were consistently strong. The 6'3" Shimonek has the size and athleticism to play at the NFL level. Don't rank him among the top five just yet, but Shimonek should be on the middle-round watch list for teams seeking long-term prospects. (Hello, Patriots.)

According to teams, Leighton Vander Esch has been crushing interviews and continues to impress people. After weighing in at 256 pounds and completing 20 reps on the bench, the Boise State linebacker is hoping to run under 4.7 in the 40-yard dash. Truth be told, anything at or below 4.75 would be a great time. I’ve been told the Green Bay Packers are very high on Vander Esch and that he won’t get past the Pittsburgh Steelers in Round 1.

You mean like Urlacher?

There are now 4 potential ILB's who could be possible picks for the Packers: Roquan Smith, Tremaine Edmunds, Rashaan Evans and Vander Esch. Unusual depth for that position.

So, is #14 to high to draft a guy with only one hand?

Cause shaquem griffin just ran a 4.38

And I the bowl game I watched of him, the guy flat out dominated

Everybody seems to have him rated a Day 3 pick. A great 40 time won't change that.

i have a feeling his stock is gonna go up

he's one of those guys that impresses at the combine and makes people go look at his tape. and the tape is impressive, guy is everywhere on the field

like i said, one or two hands, the guy can flat out play

If he's going to play 3-4 OLB, I guess the biggest question would be whether he can fight off NFL offensive tackles with one hand. On the bright side, he would be 50% less likely to get flagged for illegal use of the hands.

more importantly for our first round pick

roquan smith ran a 4.51

i don't think he participated in anything else though

Marcus Davenport ran a 4.58 at 6-6, 264. 3 cone- 7.20

Harold Landry ran a 4.64 at 6-2, 252. 3 cone 6.88

coutland sutton a 6'4 wr out of SMU might be someone we should be looking at, he had a really good combine

I like Landry best out of those 3... don't want Davenport at all.

I like Smith a lot, but I do like Landry, he's seems like he plays smart as well as tough.
