Now I know that both Andrew Luck and RG3 are really the attention grabbers out of the combine. With so much of everyone's time going to them there have been some things happening that I've noticed. Some players not mentioned at all are rising on my board. And should be on yours too if your on the lookout for strong route running wideouts or a running back in the 2nd round or maybe the 3rd.
Marvin Jones out of Cal put together a 40 time of 4.47. Not the fastest but couple that with the fact he did 22 reps at 225 and that's pretty good. He'll have the strength to break the press and the speed to get separation afterwards. Good pick for say, the 49ers. A team looking for a possession receiver with break away speed. He should be around in the latter of the 1st for sure.
Jordan White led the country in receiving. Which really isn't that huge of a deal without this, 4.68 on the 40 and 14 repair at 225. He can only get better in my opinion. He had 1900 yards receiving this season. Over 125 receptions means he doesn't drop many balls. He'll be perfect as a 2 or 3 receiver for someone. Give him time to mature and he could be your franchise player.
Doug Martin from Boise St wasn't one of my favorites. But he changed my mind during the combine. His 4.57 40 isn't mind blowing but take into account he did 28 reps on the bench and things look a lot better. Imagine a guy with that speed and build running at a safety or corner guaranteed they aren't trying to tackle him. He didn't her much where and tear last season because the amount of plays Kellen Moore threw the ball so look for him to look fresh. Could be a good spell back first year only to take over the next season. After learning the system he's in a bit better.
Tommy Streeter out of Miami only started this season. He's 6'5" tall, ran a 4.34 40, and did 17 reps on the bench. This cat looks good. I'm hoping he slips to my Texans to be paired up with Andre Johnson a former Miami player himself. If not whatever team grabs this kid is getting a steal.
There's more combine talk to come. Be ready everybody.
