2013 NFL Scouting Combine Thread

Just say no to Fluker.

[The Excellector]

He has made a ton of money over this postseason. He apparently was a big standout during the Shrine practices, and held his own after being a very, very late addition to the senior bowl.


I just turned on the coverage...and Fluker may be a mauler, but man, he looked really bad in his drills.

To me, he screams zone blocking G. If you pull him in front of a Jamaal Charles, you have some potential.

D.J. Fluker may be able to hold off some speed rushers with his length, but I think he might struggle against stronger rushers like a Terrell Suggs.

[JoeCool5]

They say Fluker is a strict RT prospect. I think we can do a little better than that at 32, provided we stay there.

Andy Moeller running o-linemen drills. That should help us greatly.

Is that really a good thing LOL

[JoeCool5]

Are some people really that down on Moeller? I know he got a DUI, but he seems like a decent coach. Yanda is one of the best, Oher does well on the right side, and KO looks like a keeper at left guard.

As a Hokie fan I'm embarrassed to say I thought Fuller had another year left. . . . Damn. As developmental guys go, he's probably further along now than Streeter or Thompson were last year. I definitely see a guy who's a little raw like Torrey was, but who just might have a killer learning curve to him -- which if you watch him you won't believe it was his first year of college football, so the evidence suggests he very well might. He might have that ability to learn fast and evolve correctly that you need to advance at the next level.

He is also a local kid - out of Woodlawn HS, which is just outside the city border west of Baltimore. I think he would be a great pick in the 5th round. It will be interesting to see how he performs this weekend. I am hoping he flies under the radar, although I doubt anyone flies under the radar of the NFL guys (unlike a fan's radar). I agree that when you watch him it's hard to believe he isn't more experienced than he actually is.

[JoeCool5]

Fuller has met with us already; we seem to like him. Decent size and blazing speed. Might a be a nice value pick later in the draft.

Khaled Holmes, C, USC, 13 reps [6'3" 302lbs, 35"+ arms]
Brian Winters, OT/G, Kent State, 9 reps [6'4" 320lbs, 33"+ arms]

I think both of these guys hurt themselves in the lifting and had to shut it down, so those low reps probably aren't indicative of their strength.

[JoeCool5]

Anyone know anything about this Travis Kelce kid, TE from Cincinnati? His brother is Jason Kelce, Eagles center. Travis was suspended for Cincy's bowl game in 2010 for violation of team rules, but I read a report on rotoworld that said he could be a "steal" for someone after the second round. I am tired of seeing Dickson dropping passes, so I think we should address TE at some point in this draft. Kelce would be a nice addition.

[Lee Van Cleef]

Apparently Kelce has serious character concerns that may push him down.

[The Excellector]

I want the TE from Alabama. I think he could come in and quickly move ahead of Bajema on the depth chart.

Bajema is a FA anyway and wont be here.

[leachisabeast]

LOL, was Mike Smith asleep?

I realize this, but apparently he's a very talented player.

[The Excellector]

They are all talking up Lane Johnson's athleticism!

[The Excellector]

Lane Johnson with a 1.69 split, on top of a 4.75 40.....!??

[leachisabeast]

Vinston Painter looks ripped

[leachisabeast]

Pugh looks incredibly undersized.

Some of these guys are putting up stupid fast times for being 300 pounds.

Love the Curtis Painter joke by Rich Eisen.
