Combine is next week

Some answers will happen next week. The combine is next week and I'm excited for it. A couple things I'll be looking at is....

Brian Caulhon RB Wisconsin - If he shows up at over 200 pounds and runs well which is expected no matter what he could climb up to the early round 2 or maybe even late round 1.

Antonio Cromartie DB FSU - If he worksout well he could go as high as #19 to San Diego. In fact I think he'll do just fine and I'm thinking about projecting him to SD at pick #19. He can project to FS or CB which SD could use.

There are others. I'm really focused in on Cromartie..

I'm interested in Marcus McNeill...I want to see how much he can lift and how he runs as well. I want to see that sub 5 40...Speaking of lifting...did anyone see the competitions on ESPN today where Larry Allen lifted 225 lbs. 43 times?

its all about my man Manny Lawson if he does well and runs a nasty 40 time he could go to the browns like i have in my mock.... i also could see him going to cleveland but at pick 15 with the falcons moving to 12 ahead of baltimore to grab tamba hali

Ko Simpson's and Len Dale White's 40 times are going to be interesting to see also

That was insane by Allen. McNeil is solid which is why I think he's a top 20 pick. Hopefully he backs me up. :P

Wasn't that incredible by Allen? He lifted the first 30 like he was holding a feather. I laughed after Joey Porter did like 33 or something and said "Now that would've been pretty solid if you weren't here!" to Larry.

Another guy I'm interested in seeing at the combine is Gabe Watson. I really want to see how much he can lift. He could solidify himself in the 1st round if he lifts well.

Things I'm watching at Combine:

WR's - route running and speed - we need a burner both in 40 and quick. Orr is on my radar as a sleeper

QB's - Later Day 2 QB's to churn back end of roster

NT - Ngata/Watson are stud 3-4 NT's Watching their showings. Watson had huge Senior Bowl and Dallas very interested.

LB - Lawson and Howard will deliver deliverables. Carpenter will be on display and can teeter in or out og first. Medical big for him.

FS - Will someone step up. Smith a player and I'm watching Harper a lot closer. Watkins on bench will be interesting.

TE - Pope and Davis - TE freaks may be BPA at #18. Bledsoe needs more weapons.

Bledsoe might need more weapons but not at TE. Jason Witten is one of the top 5 TEs in the game. He had to be used too much in protection this season. Drafting a 2nd TE as a receiving threat would be a waste of a pick. If we get another TE then they need to be a better blocker, but Dan Campbell will be resigned for that. How does Bledsoe need more weapons when he threw for 3600 yards, had a 1100 yard receiver, an 800 yard receiver who caught 71 passes, and a 750 yard TE who caught 66 balls despite being used in pass protection a ton. Patrick Crayton was hot before he got hurt early in the season and I expect him to progress next season. If anything we need a receiver, not a TE, to add more depth and be ready for the inevitable retirements of Glenn and Johnson.

As a Cowboys' fan, one has to be interested in how well guys like McNeill and Justice do. RT has to be the top position addressed.
