T, We realize there only drills but what drills do OL coaches truly factor high to low? thanks.

Can't say for sure, but those that relate to explosion have to top the list... those would include:

the 10-yd split in the 40,
the vertical jump, and
the standing broad jump.

I love the 3-cone for an agility check, but could see the 20-yd shuttle being preferred since it is less technique driven. But as much as either of these the pro scouts love seeing the drills the OL prospects are put through.

The one measure I have no idea how high it's valued is the bench press reps. Seeing the snap in the first few may well be bigger than the total number. Where either ranks... dunno... So long as a player posts in an expected range, I don't think total matters.

While the linemen are running the 40s, Mayock said he's a big fan of the former heavy weight wrestlers on the oline from an insight about what the balance and leverage projects. Makes sense.

I have to say, the only thing more pointless than seeing OL run 40 yards is seeing kickers do it.

Those guys can just walk it, nobody cares. But still, you like to see them being committed, I guess.

I think Elliot and Henry have solidified 1 & 2 though Henry showed the better hands. Henry may have just moved into the 1st round. Seattle needs a bell cow now for a run oriented O.

Edit: Just a little tidbit of information on Henry. "Henry's 37-inch vertical is 1.5 inches shy of former Crimson Tide receiver and Atlanta Falcons star Julio Jones (220 pounds) and one inch away from New York Giants' receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (198)."

Welcome Back Keith Marshall Sleeper RB(4.31) tore ACL 2013 at Georgia. Played in Raleigh, NC @Millbrook. Keith Marshall & Todd Gurley hold a ton of N.C. track records. Yes, Keith's hands are 9 3/8" so he can catch & fly OL Jason Spriggs, Conklin, Brendel, Thuney & Dahl solid days..

Good points! Henry looks like he could be a more powerful version of Eric Dickerson. I didn't realize he had such a big upper body until today. I thought he'd be ripped just not as thick.

Henry 3-cone time 7.20... 20-yd shuttle 4.38... good, but not great... Did post fine Vert and standing broad numbers though. And did not shy from any of the workouts.

miktoxic

alabama RB?

uh, no.

all i had to see was the ghosted images of henry, along-side ingram and yeldon. shoulda put up TR for good measure.

Well put. He's not Barry Sanders with the change of direction or stop and start stuff. As you said somewhere else - the jumps show us explosiveness and power. He did well with that.

There's really nothing the bench press can show me about the caliber of football player Zeke Elliott is. If anyone wants a RB that does it all (especially blocking) - Zeke's my favorite RB in this draft. Room for improvement I see with him would be catching the ball with his hands as the commentators pointed out. Not that he's bad, it just looks like others have had more experience doing that.

Speaking of catching the ball, did you see that rock quarry for hands Fred Taylor's son had yesterday? Poor kid. If Farmer was still around, that kid would be a Cleveland Brown this April.
