QB Robert Griffin UP

There was some speculation that Griffin would measure in at close to 6, which would be a red flag. However, he measured in at 6-2 3/8, smaller, but he has pretty much the same build Aaron Rodgers does. Griffin’s abilities remind me of Rodgers’ coming out of Cal (not saying he’ll be as good as Rodgers) and I think he has that kind of upside. One thing he’ll need to learn to do, which Rodgers learned to do, is slide in the open field to avoid injuries. Griffin is a smart kid though so I’m not too worried about him having to learn to do that.

QB Ryan Tannehill DOWN

Not a major red flag, but Tannehill had the smallest hands of any quarterback at the combine with 9 inches. This could be a sign that he’ll be a fumble prone quarterback, but it’s hardly damning.

RB Edwin Baker DOWN

Still trying to figure out why this kid declared after a disappointing senior season in which he averaged 3.9 yards per carry on 170 carries and scored just 5 times. Baker also caught just 5 balls last season and small hands might be part of the problem. Baker had 8 1/8 inch hands, which will hurt him as a pass catcher and pass blocker, as well as with fumbles. The 5-8 204 is in danger of going undrafted.

RB Ronnie Hillman UP

Hillman bulked up from 5-9 195 to 200 pounds. 200 pounds seems to be the threshold for running backs in the NFL. I’m not saying this makes him an every down back or anything, but it’ll make him more attractive to NFL teams. Hillman is the same size Ray Rice was coming out of Rutgers, but the problem, for me, is that I don’t think he’s as talented as Rice. He’ll be a nice scat back at the next level, but nothing more.

RB LaMichael James UP

James also bulked up, from 185 to 194. He’s not at 200 pounds, but 5-8 194 looks better than 5-9 185. I still think he’s a 3^rd down back at the next level.

 

WR BJ Cunningham DOWN

Cunningham has solid size at 6-1 211, so his hands don’t make a ton of sense. 8 1/8 inch hands don’t help him much.

WR Alshon Jeffery UP

Jeffery might have had the best day of any prospect. Rumored to be in the 240s or 250s, Jeffery weighed in at 216 pounds. The 6-3 receiver also had 10 ¼ inch hands. It wouldn’t surprise me if he ran a solid 40 time later this week, which would really help his slipping stock.

WR Dwight Jones DOWN

Jones weighed in at 230 pounds at 6-3. There are rumors that he has poor work ethic and is out of shape. He didn’t look to be in the best shape and his stock could take a real hit if he runs a poor 40 time later this week.

WR Derek Moye DOWN

Moye is 6-4 209 so 8 ¼ inch hands don’t make any sense. Those won’t help him at the next level.

WR Tommy Streeter UP

A lot of times, really tall receivers will measure in shorter than they are listed. That wasn’t the case for Streeter, who still measured in at 6-5, the tallest receiver in Indianapolis.

TE Dwayne Allen UP

Allen wasn’t asked to do a ton of blocking at Clemson, but he’s showing he has the strength to do so at the next level. The 6-3 255 pound Allen benched 27 reps of 225. A potential 3 down tight end, Allen could go easily go in the first round.

TE Orson Charles UP

Charles weighed in 10 pounds heavier than the 241 he was listed as at Georgia and then proved it was all muscle, benching 35 reps of 225. The 6-2 251 pounder is also proving he has upside as a blocker at the next level and looks like he’ll go in the 2^nd round.

TE Coby Fleener UP

Fleener is another tight end having a good week so far. He benched 27 reps of 225 at 6-6 247. Like Allen and Charles, he should go in the first 2 rounds.

TE Cory Harkey DOWN

Harkey is a great blocker who only caught 28 passes in his career  at UCLA, so it doesn’t make a ton of sense that the 6-4 260 pounder put up just 13 reps of 225.

OT Mike Adams DOWN

Adams is known as a powerful run blocker, but 19 reps of 225 at 6-7 323 doesn’t look good.

G Cordy Glenn UP

Cordy Glenn is freakishly strong. The 6-5 345 pounder put up 31 reps despite 35 ¾ inch arms.

C Peter Konz DOWN

Konz is a powerful run blocker, but 18 reps doesn’t help. He’s still likely a first rounder.

C David Molk UP

Molk put up the highest total with 41 reps of 225. He’s not the biggest or the most athletic center, but he’s a smart, tough run blocker and has great functional strength.

G Kelechi Osemele UP

Osemele is another freakishly strong one. The 6-6 333 pounder put up 32 reps with 35 7/8 inch arms.
