glenn dorsey will NOT workout

tom zbikowski came in at 5'11" and 211 lbs (8% body fat). that'll help him.

mcfadden's run times also (obviously) lock him as the #1 RB and a top pick. he's only half as good as peterson though (he has trouble breaking tackles just like reggie bush did, only mcfadden doesn't catch as well. better field vision though).

owen schmitt (blocking FB) did 26 reps on bench press

Defensive Line bench press results
-Gholston, Vernon 37
-Laws, Trevor 35
-Rubin, Ahtyba 35
-Ellis, Sedrick 34
-Hayden, Nick 34
-Okam, Frank 32
-Harvey, Derrick 31
-Jackson, Lawrence 31
-Moore, Dre 31

obviously we're interested in these. gholston really helped himself, since he was thought of as more of a pure speed guy. his highlights had him bullrushing guys too though.

NFL | Monk fluid during workout at Combine
Sun, 24 Feb 2008 18:14:48 -0800

Mark Curnutte, of The Cincinnati Enquirer, reports University of Arkansas WR Marcus Monk was one of the more fluid wide receivers during the workout at the NFL Scouting Combine Sunday, Feb. 24.


a guy i'd like in the 7th... 6'6" WR - good blocker/special teamer, had lots of practice blocking for mcfadden over the years.

How did limas sweed look

That guy, when do think Eddie Royal will get picked? I wouldn't mind seeing him the B&G.

University of Hawaii quarterback Colt Brennan added 22 pounds from the Senior Bowl week to the week of the combine, clocking in at 207 pounds.

good for him.

Ha ha, agreed, but lets see him keep it on.

sweed looked okay, but he's really not the guy i'd want.

royal is late 2nd early 3rd right now. not my first choice either though.

Mooch et al said Harvey weighed 291! I thought he weighed about 255 & was a bit on the thin side to play 4-3. If he's really 291 & can rush the passer like that, he's the guy, that guy!

nfl.com says 270, and that seems more in line with reality than 291. he played last year at 265ish.
