Who is your Combine Shocker this year

A lot of the players mentioned here will not be "shockers" because people already have a good idea what to suspect. Combine shockers are largely unknown players that arise from smaller schools, and cause scouts, execs and analysts  to scramble back to watch tape for the first time. 

The Combine is really not as important as many people think, not to say that it is useless. Just having all the players in one place where they can be interviewed is very valuable, but the drills and 40 are not going to trump what has been seen on tape. Charlie Casserly says 90 percent of a players evaluation is dependent upon tape. Indeed, here is what Bryan Strickland had to say in reference to the Panthers.


"The combine is a key event in the draft process, but by the time it rolls around at the beginning of March, scouts already have evaluated the prospects (in some cases, for years). The combine does give potential draft choices a chance to show something else that didn't show up on film, but most of the opinions have already been formulated."

    • My take on Darnold was always that he was fine with a good offensive line but would wilt under pressure with a poor line (Jets and Panthers). Seattle began the year w/ a pretty bad oline and they improved somewhat but Darnold is showing he is a pretty good qb. Imagine what the Panthers would be today with Darnold and without Bryce Young and all the wasted draft picks to get him.  
    • Similar situation but that would be a better version than what we currently have. Sam isn't a franchise QB but he is a good bridge guy. Either Seatle finds a young guy to groom or they have hit their ceiling. They 100% can't put it on Sam's shoulders and expect to win but the team needs to carry less with him at QB to win vs what this team has to do with Bryce.
    • to me the post would suggest Sam Darnold was good last night because Seattle won in a wild game.   Which is what we do with Bryce Young.   Sam Darnold didn't play well last night.  Which is how he trends, goes to a new team.....looks okay and becomes classic Sam Darnold down the stretch.  Last 6 or 7 weeks old bad Sam is coming out a lot (and then a weird Atlanta game mixed in lol).
