I'd say Mike Hart's stock is falling after his 40 time tbh, but a decent list.

[stephenson86]

i really am interested to see brandon flowers, dejuan morgan, thomas decoud, aqib talib, DRC and most of all Antoine Cason (reckon he will be an excellent cover 2 guy)

what did harvey run in the 40? or did he not run it?

I heard he got 20 yards and then went to go get a burger...ha

What is the scoop on his weight gain...anyone?

[sweetness34]

Mendenhall over Stewart for stocks rising. Shard is soaring up GM's draft boards right now and was the buzz of the combine for RB's.

CB can only go but up since he was so way down before the combine

Really the most impressive quarterback was surprisingly Colt Brennan who up to now ha had a horrible postseason. He was without question the day's most accurate passer. Brennan had to wind up to deliver some of the longer routes, extending his throwing motion and proving his lack of prototypical arm strength. But the Hawaii quarterback proved his ability to throw with touch, precision and just enough zip that in the right offense, he could be a successful NFL quarterback. i will tell you this it was so impressive a session that by the end, nearly all of Brennan's passes were being thrown with a chorus of cheers from his fellow quarterbacks and surrounding wide receivers. That is what you call making an impression

In the 4.8 area.

I'm not 100% certain but I believe when I was watching the Combine coverage that it said Derrick Harvey ran a 4.80.

Edit: Whoops got beat to it. As to derrick Harvey I heard Mayock mention him weighing 291 again... Is it confirmed that he weighed in at 291 or is was it really 271 like other reports have said?

Falling wise, I don't think anyone has hurt themselves as much with one single event then Ali Highsmith did with the 40, I saw him play half a dozen times last year and I thought he would blaze the stopwatch and go sub 4.6 and get some serious buzz going about him and even have the potential to move up into that top 20 discusion. However the 4.95 absolutely kills that, that could right away put him into 2nd day talk..

I think what probably happened is he tried to put weight on too quick and sacarficed speed for size, because it doesn't make anysence to me for him to run that slow. He could easily turn into the next Lamarcus McDonald, a guy who looked like a lock for the first 2 rounds but falls drastically due to a horrible 40 time.


Luckily he has some tremendous film against top competition to help slow down his free-fall.

Definitely Ali Highsmith. He couldn't have had a worse week

You don't rise on pro teams draft boards by doing what was expected. Chris Johnson can only rise by showing he is a good receiver out of the backfield, or by showing he can block. You have to do what wasn't expected to get a boost. The same goes for Albert and even Laws.
I don't think any of these 3 moved up much as they all did what was expected.

Johnson proved he has hands for 4 years at ECU, we knew he was fast and alot of people he'd be a fringe 2nd round pick to begin with.... whenever u go sub 4.3 your going to move up boards, especially when you produced like he did in college

Laws put up more reps and posted faster times then Sedrick Ellis, I don't think you can move him down your board with a performance like that.... he is going up and when you put the film of him on you can't help but like the kid. If anything this will cause more people to watch his tapes and see exactly what he is.

Albert was considered a better field athlete then shorts athlete and tested much better than alot of people thought he would.
