This is one of the weakest OT classes in recent years but it doesn't mean we can't find a quality tackle. Ryan Ramczyk won't participate due to recent surgery. Garrett Boles may break agility records for the position but will have to answer a lot of questions about his past. With that said I still think Alabama's Cam Robinson is the best tackle in this class. The hate has gone too far and the talk of him needing to move inside is overblown imo.
The next tier has a lot of intriguing talent. Antonio Garcia has the athleticism and length you want from a LT. He added nine pounds between the Senior Bowl and Combine but still needs more. He's expected to time well in the 40. Dion Dawkins and Taylor Moton are two of my favorite lineman in the class for their hard nose, blue collar play. I could see them at RT or RG. Justin Senior is a bit underrated and worth watching. No lineman probably has more intrigue though than Bucknell's Julie'n Davenport. Small school All American and two time captain but at 6'7" with 36 1/2" arms and nearly 11" hands, I'm sure teams can't wait to see how he tests. He had an uneven Senior Bowl but has a high ceiling. Among the top interior lineman are Forrest Lamp, Dan Feeney and Ethan Pocic. All three could go in the top two rounds with Lamp and Feeney possibly going in the first.
While OL may not be seen as deep, RB is as deep as it's been in a while. Dalvin Cook, Leonard Fournette and Christian McCaffrey are first round talents that will attract alot of airplay. Along with Cook, the diminutive Tarik Cohen, a former track star could challenge Chris Johnson's 40 record, but he's not the only legit challenger. Kareem Hunt has been rising. Matthew Dayes is a sleeper I like. But honestly I could go on and on. RB is very deep this year. You can easily get a starter on Day 3 from this class.
Coverage starts at 8 but first 40 is at 9.
Have yet to follow who is who at "X" position.
We should draft a RB from this class. When is the question. For me the value is in Rounds 3/4. Marlon Mack and Dont'e Foreman are two guys I think the Giants will be interested in.

Keep up the good work.

I'll pick up 40's again once the next group starts
I read that's the reason he didn't but wasn't specific. Same for Robinson
Got it, thanks

I'd take Pat Elflein in second round and have a very nice player for 10 years.
Come on, Dude. sjnyfan's combine threads are a tradition around here. Not only are they informative, but they stimulate discussion.
He's my first choice.

2 runs in the 4.95 range at the combine. A little light, but interesting strength and speed. Certainly worth a look on Day 3 or as an UDFA
I'm very intrigued by DII prospect Ethan Cooper. His lower half is all muscle and he uses it well. Very good in drills including the kick slide. 6'3" nearly 330 lbs and they just put up on NFLN a pic of him dunking. That's a crazy amount of power.
Yea disappointing he didn't bench. I think Bisniwatty would be a nice 2/3rd pick too
For me, it's the two big Johnsons and Nico Siragusa.
Same here, just wish Ramczyck was healthy enough.

LSU center but can he play other positions at 6'6"?

Agreed. With a hopefully improved Flowers, we'd have some big dudes out there.
