It will be interesting to see what happens on draft weekend.

You have guys with good workout numbers like michael johnson and DHB

AND

You have guys who underwhelmed or weren't able to perform like Malcom Jenkins, Crabtree and Andre Smith, that all perform very very well on gameday and look tremendous on game films!

If I'm a GM I'm looking more at the game tape than the forty times.

“For me, [the combine] is a gauge, a highlight to revisit,” Dimitroff said. “In the end, it’s how the player performs on the field. It’s production. Is he a football player? I would much rather take a guy who is a half-inch short or a quarter of a step slow who is a passionate, tough, smart football player.”

I heard the viking GM (who's name escapes me) say that before the combine they have guys pre slotted. maybe top 5 then next 10 then next 15 then 20 etc. All the combine does is maybe move a guy up or down in that general bracket. But nothing too extreme.

I thought that was a really great approach, of course there are always exceptions to every rule. But it seems like a good guide.
