2012 NFL Combine Saturday Notes

by Jimmy on Feb 25, 2012 8:24 PM CST in 2012 NFL Draft

The offensive lineman ran today at the combine and Cordy Glenn stole the show when his first unofficial 40 time was a hair under 5.0. A lot of people had Glenn as a guard instead of a tackle at the NFL, but they might be rethinking that after the way he moved today. He is a mountain of a man at 345 pounds.

Another Georgia player in the headlines today was tight end Orson Charles. He did very well in the bench press, throwing up 35 reps, but he decided not to run the 40. Charles is the only tight end that has any shot at getting drafted in the first round, but the decision not to run at the combine will hurt his stock for a little bit. He can get right back in the first round conversation with a good time at his pro day.

David DeCastro has done nothing but impress in all of the workouts so far. There is virtually no chance the Titans will have him to consider when they are on the clock at #20.

Here is a sentence from Mocking the Draft about Kevin Zeitler that makes his sound like a prime candidate to be selected by the Titans:

He's a guard that may end up playing center, but either way had a good day.

Mike Munchak loves those versatile guys. Picking Zeitler might even allow the Titans to move Eugene Amano back to guard.

I'd be leery of people thinking Glenn can play tackle. He doesn't look as good out on the edge as when he was inside.

I love Zeitler. My guess is he’d be a guard this year, move to center next year. He’s really good though, and probably a top of the second pick.

Looking forward to seeing the receivers tomorrow.

I didn't get to see any of the drills today. Recorded it but then got too bored watching.

Anyone really stand out? Apart from the expected ones like DeCastro.

decastro made most of the small school guards look like middle schoolers

kalil did well…. hmmm i didnt watch too many more, i was multitasking, reading, playing madden, listening to music, and watching the combine.

I'm trying to think of a drill that matters less than an offensive lineman running a 40 yard dash.

Nope, I got nothing.

"Do the Titans have a miracle left in them in what has been a magical season to this point? If they do, they need it now. Christie kicks it high and short. Gonna be fielded by Lorenzo Neal at the 25; he dishes it back to Wycheck; he throws it across the field to Dyson. 30, 40, 50, 40, 30, 20, 10, 5, endzone...touchdown, Titans! There are no flags on the field! It's a miracle! Tennessee has pulled a miracle! A miracle for the Titans!"

For a tackle it does make some sense in the case of a pitch and having them run up field lead blocking. And for the record kickers doing bench press is more useless

the only thing thats important in the 40 for an O-lineman

is the 10 and 20 yard split

A 10 yard dash can be important for explosion, acceleration.

Certainly FAR more important than the 40 yard dash. But even then, I care more about that with a defensive lineman, personally.

Show me a guard with quick feet and good lateral movement, and I’ll take him over one that runs a 4.8 any day.
