Cowboys Prospect Comparisons

[thule]

Last combine this article came out on nfl.com and I think it's a fairly accurate way to look at past and future prospects.

I'm sure I'm not the only one wondering this. But how does Melvin Ingram Stack up against Ware and Spencer and the position

40-yard dash Speed over distance
Target - 4.70
Ware - 4.56
Spencer - 4.70
Ingram - 4.79

225-pound bench press reps Upper body strength
Target - 23
Ware - 27
Spencer - 30
Ingram - 28

Vertical jump Explosiveness, leg strength
Target- 36
Ware - 38.5
Spencer - 32.5
Ingram - 34.5

Broad jump Explosiveness, leg strength
Target- 9-9
Ware - 10-2
Spencer - 9-4
Ingram - 9-1

20-yard shuttle Flexibility, burst, balance
Target- 4.10
Ware - 4.07
Spencer - 4.43
Ingram - 4.18

3-cone drill Agility, change of direction
Target- 7.10
Ware - 6.85
Spencer - 7.14
Ingram - 6.83


Using just the numbers. I think it's safe to say Ingram offers more agility and change of direction over spencer and spencer has him in straightline speed and strength.

To me I'd lean for a little more quickness and agillity out of a rusher I think because think about how many times spencer has been just a milisecond late....with that extra agility maybe those are sacks.
