2025 NFL Combine and Misc Draft Material

I can see Jeanty not doing it. I think that only has a chance to hurt him, seeing that there is so many talented RBs this year. You could go from the top RB taken to 3rd in a quick hurry with this class IMO.

I don't think anyone is on Jeanty's level. I think it's Jeanty, a large gap and then everyone else. I think the RB class is strong because it's really deep in day-two talent.

I get that. I think the whole point was, he doesn’t have anything to gain. Doing the drills could only hurt him. He will be the first taken without doing drills. Slipping to 3rd was an exaggeration, but no reason to put any doubt on your stock.

Vikings GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah on emphasis on trenches this offseason: "To play January football, there's a certain way you've got to play. You've got to be able to control the ball, and be able to get after the passer with just four. ... We need to get better and will."

Really high on Lacy. A WR I would like to take. I like Nailor, but he disappeared in games.

Something about Addison and Lacy on the field together, call them the Uber crew or the Taxi squad.

I like Warren way more than most, but #3? My near lock is Indy trying to come away him him or Loveland. They were desperate for Brock Bower last year.

From The Athletic 

What about the athletic tests? Last year, Tej Seth of SumerSports evaluated which workout metrics best predict NFL production, finding that the following markers forecasted high future EPA for offensive players:
QB: Broad jump surprisingly has the highest correlation with future production, though it's skewed by players like Justin Herbert and Jalen Hurts. If you can jump, you can probably move quickly in the pocket.

RB: Being relatively young and heavy were actually more predictive than any combine event, thanks in part to Derrick Henry's 247-pound combine weight. The 40-yard dash appears overvalued.

WR: Youth was again the trait most correlated with future production, while the 40 has been over-emphasized. For every Worthy, there's a John Ross.

TE: This is where the 40-yard dash matters most, according to the data. Former 49er Vernon Davis still holds the position record (4.38).

OT: Ten points if you guessed the most important would be the 40-yard dash, as the most explosive runners tend to play the most snaps per season. Meanwhile, a higher bench press has often meant fewer NFL snaps.
