Combine

Anybody watching it? Who's impressed who hasnt?

A little...RB 40's not impressive. Lankford ran well

 

[kdp1980]

I think Tevin Coleman would've ran well, Gurley too. Gurley is going to start sliding imo. Crazy for him to deny doctors to look at his knee. I hope the Lions stay away for him now, even if he falls into their laps in the second round. There's gotta be something very wrong there.

The wideouts blew the doors off. White from WVU 4.3 40 with 20+ reps. Cooper from Bama 4.4. DGB 4.6

Boring...Keep me posted though...

I've been high on Langford for months now. Extremely productive. Runs out of similar sets that Detroit does. MSU runs a lot of counter, trap, misdirection stuff....just like Detroit. Good vision. Patient. Has a HR gear that Bell and Reddick just don't have.

Would be a great pick in the 3rd round.

They were saying that wasn't really Gurley's decision. He's like 3 1/2 months removed from surgery and 32 different doctors tugging and twisting at a recovering knee was never an option. Makes sense to me.

Well, since you put it like that... Still hope we pass in him, just for this boards sake.

Getting Larry Fitz comparisons, he may be the first off the board. Al Davis just punched through his coffin.

I think he would be great value in the 3rd, not sure he will fall that far to us.

I like Lanford as well. I've only seen a few of his games, so a very small sample size. On NFL.com they basically view him as a backup, and a guy that doesn't get alot if yards after contact. Not a feature back

James Andrews came to Gurley's defense, according to him he's 6 weeks ahead of schedule

[JScottWriter]

He isn't going to run people over like Lynch but he isn't going to just go down like Kevin Smith. He is a shifty runner that will run through arm tackles and is always falling forward. He also is very hard to bring down near the goalline. Most teams use a running back by committee and the Lions don't have a featured back. Him, Bell, and Riddick would be a solid backfield. I think he would fit in nice with the Lions but don't think RB is a huge need.

Langford brings a little bit of everything to the field. Isn't a burner, but is fast. Isn't shifty like Shady McCoy.....but can make a guy miss. Isn't a bull like Blount....but can run through tackles. Good vision and burst, too.

Is he a superstar? No. But I think he has potential to be a very good, everydown back. I'd compare him to Frank Gore. Actually......his skill set is very comparable to Gores.

I want him to be a Lion not just because he was a Spartan, but because I think he fits this offense so well and has the homerun potential that Bell and Riddick just don't have.

 

[mhughes0021]

Funchess had one of the worst combines. He's now viewed as a 4.7 tweener that cant catch. Guess that means mayhew can't wait to trade into the top 10 to get him. Blue chip baby!

 

[kdp1980]

I'm thinking corner in round 1, just a hunch. Pj williams would be my choice, Darby or Peters would not bother me either.

 

[LKP]

Waynes won't be there now. Great 40 times.

Peters has the character issues.

PJ Williams is the most likely at 23.

 

[kdp1980]

Pj Williams is probably my favorite of the group anyway, so that works for me. Peters needs to grow up, no doubt. What exactly did he do? From what I heard he threw a tantrum on the sideline at Washington. That does not scream "red flag" to me. Honestly, I wouldnt mind seeing a few vocal guys on this club. I don't see him as a guy that would destroy the locker room or anything like that. How long was he off the team?

Looked like a man amongst boys. He'll be a Raider

I'm thinking Cooper to the Raiders. Hopefully they're both gone by the time the Vikings pick.
