Combine winners/losers: Josh Allen trumps Rosen

Former NFL player and scout Bucky Brooks is spotlighting the prospects who make a mark -- for better or worse -- at the 2018 NFL Scouting Combine. On Saturday, the quarterbacks, wide receivers and tight ends took the field at Lucas Oil Stadium. Here are Brooks' impressions from Indianapolis:

 

Before getting into assessments of today's on-field workout participants, I wanted to address a significant development in the D-line group. Maurice Hurst, the Michigan product I have ranked as the No. 1 defensive tackle in this draft class, was diagnosed with a heart condition during his medical evaluation in Indy. Headed home for further testing, Hurst misses out on the opportunity to showcase his disruptive skill set in combine drills. This is obvious a concerning setback for the first-round hopeful whom colleague Daniel Jeremiah has as his No. 21 overall prospect, and it's a situation teams will be forced to closely monitor in the run-up to April's draft.

Cowboys, Colts among best fits for stock-surging WR D.J. Chark

INDIANAPOLIS -- LSU WR D.J. Chark's stock for the NFL draft just keeps rising.

 

The former Tigers star with a reputation as a deep threat showed pro scouts why he was exactly that at the college level, clocking an official 4.34 40-yard dash Saturday at the 2018 NFL Scouting Combine. Chark averaged 21.9 yards per catch for LSU last season (40 for 874), which ranked sixth in the nation, and brings the length and catch radius NFL coaches like at 6-foot-3. NFL.com analyst Chad Reuter believes Chark's skill set makes him a strong fit for the Dallas Cowboys, Arizona Cardinals, Baltimore Ravens, Carolina Panthers, Indianapolis Colts, Jacksonville Jaguars and San Francisco 49ers.

 

Chark also turned in the best vertical jump among wide receivers at the combine with a 40-inch leap. As of wide receiver workouts on Saturday, only three other combine participants had turned in 40-plus verticals: RB Saquon Barkley (41), RB Bo Scarbrough (40) and RB Kerryon Johnson (40). Per NFL.com analyst Daniel Jeremiah, Chark has solidified his draft stock.
