2014 NFL Draft -- too early for a thread?

[Surfah]

For someone his size, that's better than not bad. Faster than Larry Fitz, and right there with players like Jordy Nelson, Eric Decker, and Marques Colston, who are all similarly built to Hoffman.

Followed it up with a 4.53. Solid. Especially if he can improve on that by his pro day.

Also, he weighed in at 223. 5 lbs heavier than he weighed at the senior bowl.

Definitely faster than I thought he would be. Good for him.

We'll see what the official time is. I'll bet it's closer to 4.64. Which isn't awful, but not as good as I'd hoped.

4.65. Sizz wins. That is not going to help.

Hoffman had a 27.5 vertical

That is horrible for a wide out.

He has work to do for his pro day. Not sure he can improve much though on today's results though.

I am sure he will have better numbers at his pro day. Most kids improve. I do think NFL teams put more stock in the numbers from Indianapolis than they do at individual pro days. I think pro days are better for drills and and position specific drills.

First I don't think De'Anthony is a huge nfl prospect, however his 4.5 time today shows the silliness of the whole concept of 40 times. He was never not the fastest guy on the field in 3 years against teams Oregon played.

I have no idea how serious this is, but Van Noy is being talked about in the Milwaukee paper as a possible draft pick for the Packers

They do need help at LB both inside and outside.

yep. I understand Clowney is an athletic freak, but despite his running a 4.46, he is not faster on a football field and in pads than DAT. I've never seen anybody who is as fast as DAT. Even the OSU receiver who put up the 4.33.

(edit) I should clarify this - I never saw anybody who was as fast as DAT in the games he played while at Oregon.

DAT is as fast side to side as he is straight ahead. Not many people players are like that. That is what makes DAT dangerous.

Keith McGill just ran a 4.44 and 4.47 in his 40. At 6'3 211, that is impressive and he made himself some money today and will move up the draft board. The success of Richard Sherman at 6'3 will make Keith even more attractive.

4.67 for Daniel Sorensen. Only 13 reps.

Can't see him getting drafted
