yeah I thought Sims would have the best 40 time

I really thought Marshall was going to be in 4.4-4.45 range, so for him to be uper 4.5's shocked me. I really though he was faster than that. I guess he and Sims both are more quick than straight line fast.

Yea the 40 yard dash metric isn't all it's made out to be. It helps to be faster than the guy you are going against but so does technique, skill, size, etc.

...and having stick-em all over your gloves...

I thought Marshall would be faster as well

I've actually been really impressed so far. Mariota established himself early on as the best athlete of the quarterbacks, which it shocked me that he was virtually a full step faster than Marshall and Sims. Plus he has thrown with nice touch all over the field.

Even Winston has looked better than I expected. His timing and touch have been spot on. He looks fit and focused, but still reasonably loose.

Looking at this qb class, I don't see a single one with elite potential. However, I see a few that could be solid starters for a quite few years.

I have watched him in some games ever since he was a freshman - not surprised at all. His speed is deceptive, but I watched him run away from db's constantly.

well I wanted to see Dee Hart's 40 but they chose to talk about Melvin Gordon and then go to commercial.

DzynKingRTR · Feb 21, 2015

and they are still talking about Gordon

I should have been watching nfl.com the whole time they actually show the combine and not run their mouths

yeah it has worked out real good for all the players drafted by them the last 25 years

it hasnt. but with Carr and how fast he likes to get the ball out it suits Coopers game pefectly. he would rack up some big numbers.

I just like seeing our guys go to good teams and not train wreck franchises.

NFL Network has gotten on my last nerves all combine. They provide almost no comment or analysis on the drills. Pretty much all they talk about is speculative crap that means nothing. They'll get hung up talking about one superstar for 20 minutes, but say nothing else about anyone else running the drills. Their coverage was nearly worthless.

Dee Hart was slower than I thought he would be

Terrible time for a RB. Dee ran a 4.80 and a 4.85.

I have a sinking feeling that Oakland is going to draft Coop.

Please no. Please no.

His strength is his quickness. That may be as important as his straight ahead speed, although I agree, that's pretty slow.

The problem for Dee is that is this is the NFL and all of the other running backs at this combine are quick and fast. I hope he makes it but that 40 time alone will turn off a lot of teams..

Yep. One step is huge in the NFL.

i think it'd be a possibly good situation for both the Raiders and Cooper.

It would be. There rookie QB played very well last year considering what they had around him. The Raiders will continue getting better
