2019 NFL combine results: Mike Weber, Miles Sanders, Garrett Bradbury stand out in athletic testing - R.J. White
Boston College guard Chris Lindstrom put together a strong 40-time with his 4.91, then looked polished during the agility drills. Like Bradbury, he also topped 30 inches in the vertical. Lindstrom should be locked into the second round with an outside shot of sneaking into the top 32.
Texas A&M center Erik McCoy is another strong option for teams on the interior. He had an OL-best 4.89 40-yard dash after putting up 29 reps on the bench press and later jumped 31 inches on the vertical. He should be a top-50 pick.
Weber State blocker Iosua Opeta emerged as another intriguing prospect after performing well in the strength, athleticism and drill portions.
Daniel Jeremiah’s Day 1 NFL Scouting Combine takeaways - Adam Mays
Garrett Bradbury, North Carolina State: No lineman has seemed to impress Jeremiah more at the combine thus far. Bradbury clocked in at 4.92 and perhaps made some teams reconsider taking him on Day 1.
”He’s just a unique player because of his quickness and his ability to get things done laterally. I call him the Grim Reacher. ... As you get closer to the draft, I just say, what’s wrong with this guy? You’re picking in the 20s, you need a center, this guy’s going to man that position for you for the next 10 years.”
David Montgomery, Iowa State: He might not have produced the 40 time (4.63) he’d hoped, but Jeremiah liked what he saw otherwise.
”Question a little bit about the speed. Probably wish he could get in the 4.5s. He’ll have a pro day opportunity to get that down a little bit. But just a natural and instinctive.”
Montgomery has gained some traction lately. But in addition to his lack of burst, he received a heavy workload at Iowa State with 515 combined carries during the previous two seasons.
NFL Combine results: 5 winners and 2 losers from RBs on bench press, 40-yard dash, and more - Christian D’Andrea
Justice Hill, Oklahoma State
Hill was advertised as one of the combine’s most explosive athletes, and he’s failed to disappoint in Indianapolis. He started his Friday with a 40-inch leap — then turned around with an unofficial 4.4-second 40 time that put him atop the running back rankings early in the afternoon.
He also recorded a 130-inch broad jump, which tied with Miami’s Travis Homer and Notre Dame’s Dexter Williams for the top mark at the combine. That combination puts Hill among some elite company.
Mike Weber, Ohio State
Weber split carries with JK Dobbins in his final two seasons as a Buckeye, but he flashed some featured back speed in Indiana Friday. The compact runner clocked in at 4.49 seconds per NFL Network’s unofficial time — and 4.40 seconds flat on the NFL’s unofficial tracker. That number dropped to 4.38 on his second attempt, making him the first player to break 4.4 at the 2019 combine.
Weber could interest the Ravens as a Day 3 tailback who runs with the downhill style they prefer. He came on strong towards the end of the 2018 season with at least 95 rushing yards against Michigan State, Michigan and Washington.
2019 NFL combine: Ed Oliver, Brian Burns among winners as DLs, EDGEs, LBs weigh in and get measured - Ryan Wilson
Brian Burns, Florida State. There were rumblings Burns would weigh in somewhere in the 230s, a development that would’ve raised red flags as someone without the bulk to hold up on the edge at the NFL level. To nearly hit the 250-pound mark is an enormous win for the Seminoles star with immense talent and loads of length.
Jachai Polite, Florida. Watching Polite during his tenure at Florida, you think he’d be an edge rusher who’d weigh between 240 and 250 pounds. That thought, coupled with the fact that he was mainly used as a pass rusher, only could conceivably push the super-talented and adequately refined Polite down into the middle or late portions of Round 1. Weighing in close to 260 at nearly 6-foot-3 provides a better physical profile to set the edge, thereby raising his value.
Terrill Hanks, New Mexico State. Tackling radius. It’s a thing for linebackers. And boy does Hanks have a large one at 6-foot-2 with an 80 1/8-inch wingspan. Already dubbed by some as the 2019 version of Darius Leonard, Hanks is trending toward being an early second-round pick.
Bobby Okereke, Stanford. Another linebacker with a gargantuan tackling radius at nearly 6-foot-2 with a stupidly long wingspan of nearly 83 inches. It shows on film too.
Burns is a speed rusher who reportedly played at under 230 pounds while racking up 10 sacks and three forced fumbles for the Seminoles last season. The added weight could cement his spot as a first round selection.
