Joe Marino logged everything from the Combine for FanRag, including hand size https://www.fanragsports.com/nfl/nfl-scouting-combine-2017-player-measurement-tracker/

Spot on. Every team has a different threshold for any given test for any given position. Tests are administered to give a baseline level of speed, power, explosion, agility. Justis Mosqueda has written a few things on Ted Thompson's tendencies in Green Bay, particularly for OL recruitment. Myself and @RDotDeuce have looked into some of the baselines for Sean McDermott's defense and you can notice trends based off the collected data. Some might not like it but teams measure this stuff for a reason.

I'm only 28 and I already have arthritic tendencies in my hands. Can't imagine having the same in my knees.

I think I'd probably like to see it measured like the 40-yard dash. Incremental points at say 15, 30, 40, 50 yards. The comparison I saw was Cody Kessler vs Cam Newton. At 30 yards, they measured quite similar and that almost looks like a false reading. Push that to 40 or 50 yards, you'd start to see a real staggering between those with and those without.

Well established that Tabor is a bit nuts. Changing your name to Teez should get you a straight jacket.

It's a piece in the puzzle. Of all the QB's invited to the Combine in any given year, there's probably 10-15 guys depending on class. Odds are that only a couple of them are actually talented enough to play in the NFL. The failure rate is going to be high by nature. I don't think there's enough correlation between a failure to meet the threshold and failure to succeed in the NFL to definitely rule someone out on a few particular throws on one given day.

Well, yeah, you're right about what you said. It's done by radar. There is also a margin for error with both measurements, I believe. More of what I was getting at was that it's not a terminal velocity measurement or a release point one. It's measured at 30 yards so it's only a sign of what velocity they generate at a certain fixed point. Not every throw is travelling that far in the air so it's not really a damning thing in itself. It can be for deep passing but it's not exactly a death nail measurement and arm strength can be worked on through physical and technical maturation.

Believe what you want, pal. I'm trying to help. I was at the Jags game, I've watched most of his snaps since his sophomore year at Alabama, every snap he's played as a professional twice over and I know his medical history. If you disagree with me, that's fine. Simply trying to explain why he's not a viable option on the right side.

I have watched him and I've followed his career closely. He has a degenerative knee condition in his post leg playing on the right hand side and can't fire off the ball properly. He's a better left tackle because he can push off from that stance better. It's very basic stuff and why he plays left tackle well.

I doubt Cyrus can play RT at all. It's a non-starter in my head until proven otherwise. Seantrel is still suspended. And it's been 3 years, how hard is it to spell Kouandjio?

I think I already know who they'd want to draft for RT and he'll need a bit of time so Mills might not be a bad bridge RT. Just hope it's very light on guarantees so it's easily exited after 2017.

And 6 QB hits and 47 hurries

I want to die. If I have to watch 16 more games of that fat sack of crap, I will cry.

Not reading this entire thread to see if it's been answered yet so....... ........who knows how this is measured? I do, just curious if anyone else does, since you're all experts on it.

I know Cardona split time in 2015 between the Pats and his Navy requirements. Either one is a rough day's work, doing both gets my respect. I doubt you'll see a massive shift in military recruitment for football programmes though, despite the ruling. Yep - http://billswire.usatoday.com/2017/02/22/bills-2017-nfl-draft-targets-air-force-wr-jalen-robinette-scouting-report/ If you meant being sorry for a duplicate thread, you didn't create one. Just me being vague

After the cases of Joe Cardona and Keenan Reynolds, the DOD announced an exemption for aspiring athletes. Trust me, I had to read up on all of this when I wrote about Robinette https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/early-lead/wp/2016/07/12/military-academy-athletes-can-now-go-straight-to-the-pros/?utm_term=.8eabdadbf493

Because I have nothing better to do on a Saturday evening, I watched some fullback film so you don't have to. Just a quick insight into Patrick DiMarco's on-field persona and it's a good one - http://billswire.usatoday.com/2017/03/11/what-bills-fans-should-expect-from-free-agent-acquisition-fb-patrick-dimarco/

Oh. Well, that settles it, I guess.

Vet minimum, sure. Asking for anything more gets a slap and a plane ticket to Boston.

I voted for Davis because he's the best WR in the class by some margin. Doesn't mean that I'm going to question the legitimacy of Ross' inclusion though. Hell, I'd probably like him over Williams if his injury history wasn't so bad.

Why not? One of the few traits that Tyrod has that I like is a good deep ball. Why not get him a dynamic vertical threat?

Really good value. Kinda shocked, no toxic potential, no stupid team-killing cap hits.

And yet this was Logan in run support - https://vine.co/v/56rIElxDHOV

If he's been showing up drunk and all, he probably deserves to be fired. It makes him a liability, especially in a public/media-facing role. Recently lost his grandmother, I believe he was in charge of her estate. Just a bad situation all around.
