Combine Thursday 2012

 

TE Orson Charles UP

Charles weighed in at 251 instead of the 241 he was listed as at Georgia. 6-2 hurts him, but if he can carry the weight well this week, it could be a sign that he’s added enough bulk to be better as a blocker. Charles is already a rising prospect who Mike Mayock has as his top tight end. He’s going to be one of the first 3 tight ends off the board with Coby Fleener and Dwayne Allen (who also had good weigh ins) in the first 2 rounds or so.

TE Ladarius Green UP

After those top 3, Green is an interesting sleeper. Up to 238 from 230, Green might need to add a few pounds to be taken seriously as an “elite” tight end prospect, but this guy looks like a wide receiver out there and at 6-6, he’s also a hell of an end zone threat. He’s going to be a weapon in the seam for some team out there.

 

TE Nick Provo DOWN

There weren’t a lot of guys who weighed in much smaller than expected, but being 6-3 237 rather than 6-5 250 as he was listed at Syracuse hurts Provo. Provo is a great receiver, but that may be all he is.

OT Matt Kalil UP

Kalil is the consensus #1 offensive tackle prospect despite being listed at 295 at USC, however, that was the case with Tyron Smith last year. Smith was 280 at USC, but put on 30 pounds before draft day and went 9th overall. The man that kept Smith at right tackle, Kalil, has a good chance to go even higher and is as close to a top 3 lock as you can get, especially after weighing in at 6-7 306.

OT Riley Reiff UP

Reiff is another top tier offensive tackle prospect who has added some bulk. Up from 300 at Iowa, Reiff is at 313 now. He should be the 2nd offensive tackle off the board after Kalil and could go anywhere from 6 to 12 in April.
