Hawt Combine Talk
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePjFAZKWKVoActually, Cougs, Lucas and Watson were good at the Combine. But Huskies...
-Kyler Gordon was slow in the 40 but I never remember him being sold as a straight line speed guy, instead an outrageous agility jumping guy which is how I thought he played.
-McDuffie was plenty fast but has small arms, which makes sense, he always kind of had like a 10% midget feature look to me. Dude is straight polished though. Anyone not taking him because of the arms is dumb, especially because I feel like him being a bit more compact actually weirdly gives him a little pop in run defense.
-Wattenberg - eh
-Otton - nothing remarkable. He has the look of a guy who can be an NFL tight end though and he may have just been torpedoed by the awful 2021 season and Morris.

McDuffie had like interviews with 20+ teams. His tape don’t lie, he should be a day one pickWoolleyDoog said:I noticed a huge absence of NFL Combine talk last week so here's my thawts...let's get some talk going. Also Cuogs, we're not talking about this kind of combine:

Gordon didn't hurt himself with a 4.52. Marcus Peters and Byron Murphy both ran over 4.5. It's good enough too solidify his standing. If he was over 4.6 I suppose he'd drop a round or so, but 4.52 just means they look at on field stuff more instead of jerking off over a fast 40. That will only help both guys from UW.

I'm hearing the Jets are interested in Van Nostrom

Yeah I thought the internet was overreacting to it a bit but I guess that's what the internet does best.chuck said:Gordon didn't hurt himself with a 4.52.

Makes sense for to take the best player available when they pick. He might be a reach at 4th overall but the Jets should use the 10th pick courtesy of Seattle to grab him.DerekJohnson said:I'm hearing the Jets are interested in Van Nostrom

McDuffie will likely be a very solid hybrid CB that can play both inside/outside depending on matchups … his biggest NFL weakness will be going against physical freaks
Gordon to me is a 2nd round pick (probably in the 40-55 range) … his athletic upside isn’t in the traditional evaluations and he’s going to probably have a pretty decent but not spectacular 8-10 year career
Otton will be a really interesting pick to me depending on where he goes and how used … if used in a manner comparable to how Dallas uses Dalton Schultz he could be really good
Watts burg is a depth to practice squad player … he does some things well and others less well -
These guys were all okay with 4-8.

I don't know. I never felt any of these Combine guys were guys who quit or lacked effort. Even if just for themselves, I think they all knew they needed to play their best for NFL scouts.haie said:These guys were all okay with 4-8.
Players who decided to transfer to Oregon or lesser programs. Different story.

But it's like all the leadership graduated with Molden, to me anyways.
