THE RACISM IS REAL: NFL Network is shameful......

"Josh Rosen and Sam Darnold show off their skills"

"Baker Mayfield and Josh Allen put on a show"

"Lamar Jackson's best and worst throws"


They changed the title once people caught on....People in the comments going in calling them out

Well now that I'm seeing this he looked pretty good other than one deep ball. Why dudes saying he looked bad or erratic

2018 NFL Combine Stock Report: Quarterbacks

Stock Up

Baker Mayfield, QB, Oklahoma
Baker Mayfield was solid in the passing drills, but that was to be expected. A couple of deep throws got away from him, but short and mid-range accuracy were excellent. The reason he's getting a stock-up arrow is because he absolutely aced the interviews. Mayfield has that "it" factor, and teams have learned this. There could be numerous teams attempting to trade into the top 10 to acquire him. I expect the Dolphins, Saints and Bills to attempt to do so.

Nic Shimonek, QB, Texas Tech
I'd say Nic Shimonek was the best third-day quarterback prospect at the combine. Shimonek showed off his arm, throwing some fantastic deep passes in the drills. Thanks to this performance, Shimonek could creep into fourth-round territory.

Stock Down

Josh Allen, QB, Wyoming
Josh Allen drew lots of acclaim for his amazing arm strength. Allen was routinely firing balls 70 and 80 yards downfield with seemingly very little effort. However, we all knew he could do this. Allen has the strongest arm of a quarterback in the NFL Draft in at least a decade. The concerns with Allen, however, are his accuracy and anticipation, and the latter seemed to be a huge problem for him Saturday, as he waited a very long time to deliver some of his passes. This is definitely a concern, and Allen must be coached up by a great staff, or he'll be a bust.

J.T. Barrett, QB, Ohio State
J.T. Barrett didn't look like a professional quarterback. It didn't seem like he belonged, as he displayed some poor arm strength in the passing drills.

Luke Falk, QB, Washington State
Some teams asked Lamar Jackson to do receiving drills. Perhaps other teams should've asked Luke Falk to participate in punting drills. Falk was the worst quarterback at the combine, as his accuracy was horrendous. He missed on way too many throws, and it's difficult to envision him being drafted prior to Day 3.

Mason Rudolph, QB, Oklahoma State
Mason Rudolph was unimpressive in the combine passing drills, which is not a surprise. There's fear that Rudolph was a product of Oklahoma State's system, and there's concern about his arm strength. The latter issue was apparent Saturday, as Rudolph underthrew several receivers.

2018 NFL Combine Stock Report: Running Backs

Stock Up

Saquon Barkley, RB, Penn State
Saquon Barkley put on a show at the combine. He started by posting 29 reps on the bench, outclassing numerous offensive linemen in that category. Barkley then ran a 4.40 with a 1.54 10-yard split. Some were expecting him to run faster, but those numbers are great for a 233-pound running back. Barkley also leapt 41 inches vertically and showed off his great talents in the drills. He's definitely in consideration as a top-two pick.

Nick Chubb, RB, Georgia
Saquon Barkley stood out with 29 reps on the bench press - until Nick Chubb posted the same number! Chubb wasn't as good in the 40 (4.52), but he notched 38.5 inches in the vertical and 10-8 in the broad jump. Sony Michel was the Georgia running back who entered the combine with all the acclaim, but Chubb definitely brought some attention to himself.

Chase Edmonds, RB, Fordham
There are certain teams that really value agility drills, and those front offices will surely be interested in Chase Edmonds, who scored the best times in the three-cone (6.79) and short shuttle (4.07). The Patriots, who are one of these teams, showed interest in Edmonds, who draws comparisons to James White.

Royce Freeman, RB, Oregon
Royce Freeman ran faster than expected at the combine, getting a 4.55 40 when it was believed that he'd be in the 4.6s. Better yet, his 3-cone time was a stellar 6.90. That itself is a great figure, but especially for a running back nearing 230 pounds. Freeman could've propelled himself into the second round with his showing in Indianapolis.

Justin Jackson, RB, Northwestern
Justin Jackson's combine performance basically mirrored Chase Edmonds'. His 3-cone time was a terrific 6.81, and he also posted a vertical of 38.5 and a broad jump of 10-2.

Bo Scarbrough, RB, Alabama
Bo Scarbrough had a down 2017 campaign, and many were pessimistic about his chances entering the combine, but he proved his doubters wrong and reminded everyone of the back who dominated at Alabama in 2016. Scarbrough's 4.52 40 was solid for his 228-pound frame. He also leapt 40 inches in the vertical and 10-9 in the broad jump. Scarbrough didn't post a 3-cone time, unfortunately, but he looked good in the field workouts, and he could have placed himself into second-day conversation again.

Chris Warren, RB, Texas
Chris Warren looked good in Indianapolis, despite his 4.69 40. His weight (247 pounds) needs to be take into account for that. More impressive were his 10-1 broad jump and 6.98 3-cone, which were both terrific for a back his size. He looked good in the drills as well, so I imagine there will be evaluators who will go back and look at his tape to see if they missed anything.

Stock Down

Ronald Jones, RB, USC
Ronald Jones pulled up with a hamstring injury midway through his first 40 run. He'll have to redeem himself at his pro day, but it's a shame that he had a lost opportunity in Indianapolis.

John Kelly, RB, Tennessee
John Kelly didn't run the 40, but we were still able to see that he tested poorly at the combine. He had one of the worst 3-cone times of all the running backs, posting a sluggish 7.13. And speaking of the 40, it's a bit puzzling as to why Kelly didn't run it, as he wasn't injured.

Akrum Wadley, RB, Iowa
Akrum Wadley tested very poorly at the combine. He ran a 4.54 40 despite weighing just 194. He also posted just a 32-inch vertical. He could've made up for it with an impressive 3-cone time, but he didn't bother to do that. I've had Wadley in the fourth round of my 2018 NFL Mock Draft, but he may struggle to go that early.

2018 NFL Combine Stock Report: Wide Receivers

Stock Up

Dylan Cantrell, WR, Texas Tech
Dylan Cantrell tested as one of the best athletes at the combine at his position. His 4.59 40 may not be impressive, but it wasn't a bad number considering his size (6-3, 226). Cantrell was much better in other categories, posting a 6.56 3-cone time, a 10-10 broad jump and a 38.5-inch vertical. Cantrell may struggle to separate, but he has great hands and ball skills, and he could be chosen early on Day 3.

D.J. Chark, WR, LSU
D.J. Chark had everyone buzzing at the combine. He posted the best 40 time among the receivers Saturday, clocking in at 4.34. His other testing numbers were also great (40-inch vertical, 10-9 broad jump). Even better, Chark flourished in the drills. It's unlikely that he'll get out of the second round.

Allen Lazard, WR, Iowa State
Allen Lazard was expected to look good in the drills, and he did. The amount of athleticism he would possess was the major question entering the combine, and Lazard passed his test with flying colors. His 40 time of 4.56 was solid of a receiver with his frame (6-5, 225), and he also posted a 38-inch vertical and a broad jump of 10-2.

D.J. Moore, WR, Maryland
D.J. Moore was one of the few receivers who thrived in the drills and tested extremely well. Moore posted a 4.42 40, which was excellent at his size (6-0, 210). He also notched a broad jump of 11-0, a vertical of 39.5 and a 3-cone time of 6.95.

J'Mon Moore, WR, Missouri
No one will look at J'Mon Moore's 40 time of 4.60 and think he's a great athlete, but he is certainly just that. His 3-cone time of 6.56 was excellent, especially considering his size (6-3, 207). He also posted great jumping numbers (38-inch vertical, 10-0 broad jump).

Tre'Quan Smith, WR, Central Florida
Tre'Quan Smith became the fourth receiver this millennium to achieve a 40 better than 4.50 (4.49), a vertical of at least 37.5, a broad jump of at least 10-10 and a 3-cone of 6.97 or better. That's the good news. The bad news is that two of those three receivers were Stephen Hill and Robert Davis. The third was Julio Jones, so Smith will be hoping he's more Jones than Hill or Davis. He's not, but he can always be optimistic.

Courtland Sutton, WR, SMU
Courtland Sutton was expected to look great in the drills, and he did that. However, he was much better than anticipated in the testing numbers. Sutton's 40 of 4.54 was solid at his size (6-4, 218), but the better numbers were his 6.57 3-cone and 10-4 broad jump.

Stock Down

Marcell Ateman, WR, Oklahoma State
There was speculation prior to the combine that Marcell Ateman could run a 4.45 and leap 42 inches. Instead, he notched a 4.62 and a 34-inch vertical. On top of that, Ateman posted a poor 3-cone time (7.07) and didn't look very good in the drills, especially during one of the worst gauntlets run in combine memory.

Christian Kirk, WR, Texas A&M
Some of the NFL Network analysts compared Christian Kirk to Golden Tate. Both are slot receivers with similar size and 40 times (4.46 for Kirk; 4.42 for Tate). However, Kirk's other numbers weren't as good (35.5 vertical, 9-7 broad jump, 7.09 3-cone), and he struggled to catch the ball in some of the drills. I find it unlikely that Kirk will be a first-round pick.

Jordan Lasley, WR, UCLA
Steve Smith talked up Jordan Lasley prior to the workouts, but the UCLA product was a major disappointment. The 40 time was just OK (4.50), but the leaping numbers were poor (34.5 vertical, 9-4 broad). Even worse, Lasley dropped countless passes in the drills. I wasn't counting, but I bet he led all the receivers in drops Saturday.

T.J. Martin, WR, Washington State
T.J. Martin registered a horrifically bad 4.80 in his 40 despite weighing just 185 pounds. He's not getting drafted.

Calvin Ridley, WR, Alabama
Calvin Ridley registered some very disappointing numbers at the combine. His 40 of 4.43 was decent, but his vertical of 31 inches and broad jump of 9-2 were both awful. He's a better player than that - the numbers don't factor in route running - but he can no longer be considered the consensus top receiver (not that he should've been in the first place.) Courtland Sutton was already close, and Sutton may have passed him in Indianapolis.

2018 NFL Combine Stock Report: Tight Ends

Stock Up

Tyler Conklin, TE, Central Michigan
Tyler Conklin posted some solid testing numbers Saturday. He ran a 4.80 40, which isn't anything to write home about, but his leaping figures (38-inch vertical, 10-0 broad jump) were both great. Conklin was solid in the drills as well, so it's fair to say he helped himself in Indianapolis.

Mike Gesicki, TE, Penn State
If I never watched Vernon Davis' legendary combine, I would have been absolutely floored by what Mike Gesicki did Saturday. Gesicki began by posting a 10-9 broad jump and a 41.5-inch vertical, indicating that his 40 might be outstanding. It was; he sprinted a 4.54. He then followed that up with a 6.76 3-cone. Gesicki has rare athleticism for a tight end, and it's not out of the question that he could be chosen in the first round.

Hayden Hurst, TE, South Carolina
Hayden Hurst didn't post stellar numbers like Mike Gesicki, but his 4.67 40 and 10-0 broad jump were both solid. Hurst is getting a stock-up arrow because he was the best tight end in the drills. He should be an early- or mid-second-round pick.

Ian Thomas, TE, Indiana
Ian Thomas' testing numbers were just OK. His 40 (4.74) was fine, as was his 7.15 3-cone, and his 10-3 broad jump was better. He's getting a stock-up arrow because of how he performed in the field drills. Aside from Hayden Hurst and Mike Gesicki, Thomas was probably the best tight end in the workouts.

Stock Down

Durham Smythe, TE, Notre Dame
Durham Smythe should be a solid blocking tight end in the NFL, but there's question about his receiving skills. The drills didn't do anything to alleviate those concerns. His testing numbers didn't help either; Smythe's 3-cone (7.17), 40 (4.81) and broad jump (9-2) were all pedestrian numbers.

2018 NFL Combine Stock Report: Offensive Linemen

Stock Up

Alex Cappa, OT, Humboldt State
Alex Cappa didn't post the best numbers - 5.39 40, 1.87 10-yard split - and his 3-cone time was pretty poor (8.04). However, he had a very solid field workout and looked like he belonged despite not coming from a Division I school. Cappa may have established himself as a third-round prospect. If not, he should go early Day 3.

Austin Corbett, G/C, Nevada
Austin Corbett had one of the better 40 times for the offensive linemen at the combine, running a 5.15 40 with a 1.76 10-yard split. He also thrived in the drills, displaying some impressive foot speed. He could end up going in the second round.

James Daniels, C/G, Iowa
James Daniels didn't run the 40, but he didn't need to in order to bolster his stock at the combine. Daniels had an incredible 3-cone time (7.29), and he also looked very smooth in the drills. He cemented his status as a first-round pick.

Desmond Harrison, OT, West Georgia
Desmond Harrison would be a first-round pick if he didn't have character concerns. He's a phenomenal physical talent, and that was certainly on display Friday. Harrison started by running the fastest 40 for the offensive linemen with an unofficial 4.75. He then excelled in the drills, showing some great explosion and movement ability. If he can stop getting into trouble and begin living up to his skill set, he'll be a great pro.

Will Hernandez, G, UTEP
Will Hernandez posted some terrific numbers at the combine, as his 5.15 40, 1.76 10-yard split and 7.59 3-cone times were all impressive for a 327-pound guard. He was just as good in the field drills. It seems likely that Hernandez will be chosen in the latter stages of the opening round.

Kolton Miller, OT, UCLA
Kolton Miller set a combine record for offensive linemen, leaping 10-foot-1 in the broad jump. He broke five seconds in the 40 (4.95), posted a stellar 10-yard split (1.67) and had a great 3-cone time (7.38). He was also great in the drills. Miller should find his way into the first round.

Brian O'Neill, OT, Pittsburgh
Brian O'Neill posted some great times Friday. He ran a 4.82 40 with a 1.70 10-yard split. He also registered a 7.14 in the 3-cone. On top of all of that, he showed off his great footwork in the drills. O'Neill really shined in Indianapolis, but his one glaring concern - a lack of power - wasn't really exposed, especially since he didn't attempt to bench press.

Stock Down

Orlando Brown, OT, Oklahoma
Orlando Brown was the big loser of the first day of the field workouts at the 2018 NFL Scouting Combine. Brown posted some atrocious numbers, including just 14 reps on the bench, which was a ridiculously low number. Brown then ran a 5.85 40, with a 2.00 10-yard split, which is the worst such number ever recorded at the combine. Brown also displayed poor feet during the drills, and one of the coaches yelled at him for loafing. Brown played better than this at Oklahoma, but it'll be difficult to justify spending a first-round pick on him now.

Jamarco Jones, OT, Ohio State
Jamarco Jones had one of the worst 3-cone times from all of the offensive linemen at the combine, posting a time of 8.32. This alone will send him plummeting down several draft boards. Jones didn't look bad in the drills at all, but his horrible 3-cone time will certainly damage his draft stock.

Billy Price, C/G, Ohio State
Billy Price tore his pectoral while attempting to bench press at the combine. This could cause him to drop out of the first round. The silver lining is that he's expected to be ready by the season opener, so he won't fall too far.
