Even though the combine is about two weeks away, we can all keep track of how our former players performed, as well as give our own analysis with the results. Keunhja, as always, this is your shot to critique the shortcomings of Longo lol.

This year, we have 9 former players participating, this is the highest number we've had at the combine since 2002, when we had 10. Last year, we had 8.

When the time comes, I will do my best to keep this thread up to date with accurate results.

No Kona, huh? Thought he would get invited. Still think he latches on with a team next year.

No Kona...but GAIII gets invited? Weird.

 

[Sherm Sticky]

9 invites to the combine is pretty good.

No Tommy Rees? What...the....fuuuuuuuuu....!?!?!

Apparently Dan Fox feels a tad slighted!

Imagine how Carlo is feeling, I wonder what he'll do...

Probably rounding up his people and going to hunt down the selection committee..

 

[RDU Irish]

Anyone see the particulars on that strength challenge Nix finished second in? Saw something about it on the ND site when I was looking for recruiting stuff. I don't care what the time is, I just want to see Irish Chocolate run one 40. That would be hilarious to watch.

 

[ResLife Hero]

GA3's value is going to hinge largely on his times. GMs and such probably want to make sure they get his times right and done in a way that allows for direct comparisons with other prospects.

 

[dublinirish]

GA3 might be the fastest kid there, he was always gonna get invited

 

[GoldenToTheGrave]

Kona is 10X the player GAIII is. I'm pretty confident he makes a roster somewhere.

 

[zelezo vlk]

No offense, but I would be very surprised if GA3 is the fastest kid there. Very fast, but there's always gonna be some corner that runs an absurd 40.

Both Troy and Stephon linked to Patriots at #29 by Kiper and McShay, respectively. Kiper mentioned Troy as a fallback to Jace Amaro, while McShay had the Patriots taking Tuitt at 29. Maybe I'm a double homer here, but if Tuitt made it to the Patriots at #29 and they picked him it would be a top-5 day of my football fan life.

Tuitt to the Pats at 29, then the Pats go to free agency to get Brady his weapons. Jeremy Macklin and Jimmy Graham. This is the year Belichick says Fuck it.

 

[Irishman77]

Niklas would be perfect for Seattle.

 

[CanadalovesND]

Niklas would be perfect for Seattle.

Bingo. There are reports that Zach Miller will be a cap casualty if he declines to take a pay-cut.

 

[returnofthemack]

How the hell did Gary Gray 2.0 get invited to the combine?

I would hate to see him play my Jets every year but Tuitt would fit perfectly into what Bill Belichick wants to do on Defense. Could definitely see it happening.

 

[RyCo1983]

Yes. That was the point. I doubt GA3 even gets drafted. He's gonna have to really wow some folks to do so.

If niklas is drafted by the pats, I will be drafting him in FF

Graham will get the franchise. No way the Saints let him go when they have that option in their back pocket.

Does anyone really see Tuitt still being there at 29?

Wll you can argue that Tuitt only showed 2/3's of a season of truly dominant play in 2012 and maybe the second half of the USC game, which will certainly go against him. Either way I don't think he would fall out of the first just due to his raw potential and his the limited he has in fact shown elite play.

 

[CanadalovesND]

For all those not counting down...

One week away!

 

[dublinirish]

if graham gets the franchise i would give up a 1st and a 3rd for him in a heartbeat

 

[CanadalovesND]

Weigh ins and measurements (ht, arm length, hand size) for Specialists, Tight Ends, and Offensive Lineman are being done today, so I'll post Watt, Martin and Niklas' numbers as soon as they are known to me.

 

[ND NYC]

keep in mind lot of these teams for a lot of different reasosn, throw out smokescreens acting like their interested in a guy...when they are, in fact, coveting another prospect.

 

[ND NYC]

wow, i love graham, but that would be just too much for me to give up.
