In case anyone was curious, you can watch the Combine live today by clicking here.
The defensive backs will continue to work out today, with Taylor Mays looking strong in both his 40 time and his individual drills. Earl Thomas was apparently having a bad day, which could just be a fluke, but he didn't look like the #1 safety prospect as Mike Mayock has been touting him at.
A surprising number of backs have dropped the ball, including Thomas (literally) on the reaction-time drill they're currently running, which is odd. Even more surprisingly, Taylor Mays has all but led the pack so far. He's looked very impressive so far, showing excellent balance, solid footwork and quick ball skills. As we've already mentioned, he also might be quick. Just a bit.
So far though, this group of DBs is making me think the Seahawks should shy away from drafting any of them very high. Playmakers on offense are looking more and more desirable as each day goes on. And don't forget, free agency starts Friday, and it'll certainly be an interesting year to watch that unfold.

Barry is looking very good. especially with record setting vertical jump! J Haden is killing his stock with his 40.... lol I wont blame him, kind of hard to run front of people just in your undies.

Offensive? Defense?
Take the best player available. The Seahawks can use improvement everywhere.

Years of college game film doesnt lie: it paints a much more accurate picture of a players potential in the NFL than the combine does.
How many players are awesome in college, then tank at the combine? How many players are Combine wonders, but didnt do much in college? And which of those play well in the NFL?
The combine matters, but its only one tool in the scouting arsenal. For instance, its disturbing that Joe Haden ran a high 4.5, but he stayed with WR's who ran 4.4's. Does that make him unable to play shutdown corner in the NFL? A good question, but I bet he still goes in the top 10. (Kelly Jennings still can run a 4.4 and he sucks and gets beaten like a redheaded stepchild. Wanna trade?)
Likewise its great that Mays is a freak and ran a 4.24, but last years game tape doesnt lie: No matter how fast he is, he gets beaten by slower WR's because he is NOT a great football player.
And Earl Thomas and Berry caught quite a few interceptions in college. Does it really matter that they dropped some passes in a drill?
Im not a scout, nor an expert on talent evaluation, but I bet the guys who were talked about pre-combine as blue-chippers will still be there post-combine, despite stuff like a somewhat slow 40 time for Haden and a few dropped balls by Thomas.
Who knows, maybe Thomas falls to us at 40 now! Wouldnt that kick butt?!
I still dont give a damn how great Mays is at drills in the combine. He got beat too often in college and lacks coverage ability. I dont want him as a safety. Maybe the Raiders will trade up to number one and pick him! LOL!!

I may be in the minority but I was less than impressed with Mays overall performance at the combine. He didn't look sharp on the drills and honestly looked like he wasn't putting forth his best effort. Generally sloppy footwork and then, most notable, he didn't even follow-through with a hard run to the end zone during some of the drills. No doubt he had a nice 40 and vertex, but he didn't seal the deal with his drill performance.
Eric Berry, however.....just wow. He was an animal out there.

a 4.6 corner is going to go in the top 10. We'll see.

On a totally different note. . . Would you give up a second round draft choice to sign Pierre Thomas, RB, New Orleans Saints? What if you thought that you could orchestrate a move to trade back in the draft (with either the 6th or 15th selection) to collect another second round choice?

I like Pierre Thomas. But I dont think he's better than some of the backs I feel will be available in the second round this year, and he isnt that fast. Also, I am comfortable with starting the season with Forsett,Rankin and a late-round back with some size. I dont think a second round back is really necessary this year, as we have many more pressing holes to fill--namely, O-line, WR, DL, and CB/FS.
In the draft, I like Ryan Matthews, LeGarrette Blount, and Ben Tate, as they seem total package backs who would fit opposite Forsett like PB&J. I liked McKnight, but he isnt big and he's not as fast as I thought, plus the injury concerns. If he's there in the fourth, Id be stoked.

North Face Canada

The North Face Jackets came from North Face Canada which do a better job for keeping you both warm and dry. The cotton and wool can attract damp. The cotton next to your skin so that it can absorb your sweat, it also leave you feeling chilled and damp. The top quality synthetic fabric of the North Face Mens Jackets is designed to wick moisture away from your skin and encourage the moisture to travel to the next layer. This is what is known as "breathing". The fabric allows the moisture generated by sweat and exercise to pass through the fabric, and the fabric doesn't trap the moisture and become damp. A natural fabric such as cotton doesn't do this satisfactorily, and will get damp over a period of time. Now that the North Face Down Jackets Womens Sale on our online shop, all are cheap and high quality, you will like it.
