I've heard some people say Campbell could fall due to a shorter than ideal wingspan for an NFL OT. 

Then the Browns will trade up to no 1 and get him since they have no 1s to piss away now that they've been deshauned

[MikeDeTiger]

Pretty funny Jimmy just kept pounding home the fact some guys aren't the biggest/fastest/smartest/strongest - just much better than those that appear so

Seems to be an assumption that kind of stuff will matter in the league where it may not have in college.  We've had a number of collegiate stand-outs in my lifetime who had none of the stars and none of the measurables.....they could just play, and they did great in Baton Rouge.  I can't think of any where it translated to the NFL.  A lot of them got shots, but their ability to "play" just couldn't bail them out when all the other athletes were the elite of the elite, I guess.

Yeah. Because the guys who make it at that level can all just "play", AND they have all the other elite measurables to go along with it. 

It's even true at QB. You simply can't make it in the NFL if you can't make all the throws, because windows close too quickly at that level if you don't have the arm strength. And if there's an area of the field you can't attack because you can't make the throw, defenses learn that pretty quickly and get better at taking away the rest of the field because they don't have to worry about those throws. 

That doesn't mean you have to be able throw it 70 yards from your knees. But there's a certain minimum level, and you'll get eaten alive in the NFL if you're below it. 

On the other hand, I think the story is largely about the fact that if you have ALL those measurables but you can't just "play", the measurables are worthless. You have to have both.

well yeah that's obvious- there are minimum thresholds but these NFL GM's/Scouts go way over board with this stuff and overthink shit to the nth degree. I don't care if a 6'6, 310+ lbs OT or 6'6, 260+ lbs DE has arms that are an inch or two short. I don't care if a 6'2, 200+ lbs CB doesn't run a 4.3....can all of the above move fluidly, are they athletic enough and meet those min thresholds and more importantly can they actually play the game at a high level. If a CB or WR runs a 4.5 it's not a big deal. At all. Now if they run a 4.7 or 4.8....well then it might be......

Well yeah...

At the margins, I'd think it's important to lean towards "can the dude just flat out PLAY?" over "are his arms an inch or two short??"

I think this is where some GMs overthink things trying to compare two 1st round prospects 5 spots apart on "mock" boards, taking the athletic freak over the guy who just flat out produces. 

But it's completely different discussion than someone in the 2nd round vs someone in the 6th. And it's also a completely different discussion from what @MikeDeTiger brought up, which is guys who have no STARZ coming out of HS because their measurables suck, but can produce at the college level--and yet ultimately run into a talent deficit too significant at the NFL level to produce.

It's no wonder why the Badgers suck these days. Only 2 players drafted, and both in the 6th round.

[ELA]

MSU with none.  They were one of I believe 5 schools that had a player drafted in the entire NFL merger era, and it was broken a couple years ago, and I think this would make it 3 times in 4 years since then with none drafted

[FearlessF]

Huskers suffered a prolonged drought recently
had some free agents picked and playing in the league, but if you don't win, you don't get invited to the combine and you don't get drafted

I want to say the last 5 were UM, MSU, Nebraska, Florida and USC, and now it might be just UM and Florida?

turns out having lots of future NFL players on your roster wins you games. hey, who knew?

[FearlessF]

Gotta give credit to Frost for moving Cam from TE to Center
just wish someone could have taught Cam to hike/snap the ball properly while at UNL
