Who will you have an eye on at the combine?

I am really interested in a few receivers namely Brandon Coleman, L'damian Washington, and Cody Hoffman.I'm also interested to see what small school linebacker Tyler Starr is capable of as well. I was curious who peaks your interest at the combine.

Every wide receiver

No one specific though? I was kinda hoping for some interesting names that may not have been brought up yet.

Well I will pay special attention to Davante Adams and Allen Robinson because I'm big fans of theirs.. but I'm curious to see what the WR class looks like since it's so deep and I figure we are likely drafting someone since Tate may leave, Rice is getting cut and Harper was a flop last year.

For me...

Jarvis Landry: Can he run a high 4.4 to mid 4.5? If yes, he's a 1st rounder for me. Hell, I think he's a legit 1st rounder no matter what. A lot of Boldin to his game (not size).

Odell Beckham Jr: Can he run a legit low 4.4? Same as above.

Davante Adams: I like everything about him, but his hips seem tight & could run a poor time. I could see him really hurting himself in this venue. Good player though.

Martivs Bryant: I expect an absolute show from him. Is it enough to make teams overdraft him?

Brent Urban: Could be a sleeper pick for Seattle. Intriguing guy.

Dee Ford: I'm not a huge fan, but can he run in the 4.4s?

Ego Ferguson: Supposedly a great athlete. Would like to see size/speed/strength.

ASJ: I personally think he may really hurt himself at the combine, which could help a team like SEA, if he falls far enough as a result.

Eric Ebron: I'm really intrigued by what type of numbers he will put up.

Brandon Coleman: Polarizing guy, but what happens if he rattles off a time in the 4.4s?

Kony Ealy: Is he really that great of an athlete? Curious to see his real size/speed/strength combo.

Jon Schneider.

I would really like to see Cody Hoffman run 4.5 or less. He looks pretty slow on tape, and I want him to show nfl speed cause he could be a third day steal.

Same for Allen Robinson really, though I am not as concerned. He reminds me a little of Keenan Allen, so a fast 40 time is not neccessarily essential. I am more interested to see how tall he measures in.

It would be cool if Aaron Donald/Cyrus Kouandjio sucked enough to fall to us, though they might fall that far anyway. I think Hageman might.

Adams
Abbrederis
Matthews
Enunwa
Robinson
Ellis
Kerr
Hageman
Coleman
Hoffman
Kirksey
Zumwalt
Fiedorowicz
ASJ
Talliaferro
Antonio Richardson
Chris Smith

Most of these guys are players that should be around in our 1st/2nd or 4th round selections. Many of them will be SPARQ measurable development types. Adams/Matthews and Abbrederis are guys that probably need to show something to separate themselves from the tier 3 WR class. I might put Benjamin up there too, but I suspect he should be gone by 32.

I'd also put in guys like Martin/Kouandijo etc. They are kind of early 20s type selections who could fall if they falter.

This combine for us outsiders will really ratchet up the blog noise for or against them.

Is there a list anywhere of who has been invited?

Like others have said, ASJ. Even though he likely won't be drafted by the 'Hawks I can't wait to see where he lands and what he does this offseason.

Nice. I'll be watching Cable as well. Hopefully through the window of the war room as he sits, mouth shut, in the adjoining hallway.

I will be watching Auburns Greg Robinson. Not because there's a chance in hell we will get him, but because I think he's going to wow at the combine. Kid is an absolute freak that is starting to get more attention, climbing up the board, and I think he should be the first OL taken in the draft. With the pedigree of Mathews, that will be unlikely...but someone will pay for that later. I am certain. Robinson is listed at LT, which is good for him, but if we somehow (LOL) positioned ourselves to get him, I'd plug him in at guard, knowing he could relieve Okung when necessary. Too high for a guard? Uh-uh. This kid is the next Hutch. Again, I am certain. I would consider trading our 1st, 2nd, 4th and a 5th to get him. Though that still wouldn't be enough.

Three players I would love to see fall to us: Davonte Adams, David Yankey, and Stephon Tuitt.

Those three interest me too. I also like DE Ethan Westbrooks of West Texas A&M, C Gabe Ikard of Oklahoma, DB Pierre Desir, Lindenwood, S Tre Boston NC, or any fast safety as a late pick for a backup. WR Matt Hazel Coastal Carolina

One guy I'm curious to see is DE/OLB-Christian Jones.

Before the season, many saw him as a 1-2 round pick and now many are grading him a 3-4th round prospect. They moved him from SAM to DE after FSU lost Werner and Carradine to the draft. I thought he looked good as a pass rusher - he showed excellent burst, long arms to disengage blockers, and a strong motor. As a linebacker, he showed solid awareness, excellent side-to-sideline speed and looked fluid in his drops. To my untrained eye, he looks alot more explosive on tape than the pre-combine projection suggests.

Ditto for DE-Aaron Lynch.

Finally, there's been alot of buzz about TE-Jordan Najvar since the Shrine Game. He measures 6'6/260. He could be Troy Niklas with a 6-7th round price tag. The discount is due to him not being asked to contribute in the passing game at Baylor. He is an accomplished blocker but his pass catching chops were an enigma up until Shrine Game practices. Many scouts came away impressed with his soft hands and catch radius. Many scouts also report that he looked quicker than they anticipated (much faster than Crockette Gillmore by most accounts). If our prerogative is to replace Zach Miller with a cheap and viable alternative, Najvar seems to fit that bill.

FS-Lonnie Ballentine, Memphis, 6'3/215/4.5-4.6

[youtube]OoD3ZpaUzxs[/youtube]

This guy has some nice measurable and stats that indicate he spends a lot of time in the opponents backfield. His scouting reports are strong on the positive, negatives include inconsistency, conditioning and pad height issues all of which should be easily coached. PC/JS like defensive height and length in their defensive line. Martin's speed seems to be pretty good too.

DE/DT-Kareem Martin, North Carolina, 6-5-7/8, 272, 4.82/40 (4.70=low 40), 10.0" hands, 34-3/8" arms, 84-1/4" wingspan (over 7 feet & # 2 wingspan at the Senior bowl). 2013: 82 total tackles, 11.5 sacks, 21.5 tackles for loss, 3 passes broken up, 14 QB hurries and 3 forced fumbles. Martin is currently a round 2-3-4 possibility.

OG-Brandon Thomas, Clemson, 6-03-1/2", 316, 10-3/4" hands, 34-3/8" arms, 83-1/8" wingspan. This guy has played a lot at tackle and has been very well regarded in the past, currently a round 4-5 possibility.

WR-Donte Moncrief, Ole Miss, 6-2, 226, 4.49/40. "Something we don't currently have" PC last year.
WR-Martavis Bryant, may shock a few people with his speed (he's ran sub 4.3 in the past).

I hope all CB's and Safety tear it up at the combine so all the top D-lineman stay on the board longer for a chance Seattle get's one.



Kelcy Quarles, Brent Urban, and Rashede Hageman are who i'm curious to see compete at the combine. All players with length, size, and speed to be beasts on the Seattle D-line. Just need one of them to fall to us at the end of the first.

Not sure how much of the combine I'll get to watch. It's interesting to see what is said vs. what I observe.
But, a few names: Victor Hampton, Will Sutton, Donte Moncrief, Connor Shaw, Richard Rodgers, and why not... John Brown - he played for Pittsburg St. (Kansas) Gorillas. Have any previous Gorillas been invited to the combine?
