Combine meetings aren’t always “ah we like you taffy duck step lads”

We may be drilling in at their acumen, football IQ and treating it like an interview.

Yep. Combine has become quite a spectacle over the years. In reality, it doesn't tell us much of anything.

I usually have my eye and gut test checking in late December/early Jan with the college year still well in memory. The guys who really stand out leading their teams are the ones to keep an eye on through the process. 

I do like the crop of defenders in this draft. Curious about that UVA safety.

god no. we don't need another speed back. get scar or another late round power guy.

Sony is a complete back. I’d rather not pick him at 24, it’s what it would take, but if there is no stud (WR-Ridley, OT-McGlinchey, DT-Key, or S-James)who do you pick? It’s tough to pick Ronnie Harrison, who I like or Christian Kirk or Will Hernandez with Michel on the board

    • Per Bill Barnwell  Vikings bring back a familiar face Vikings get: WR Adam Thielen Panthers get: 2026 sixth-round pick, 2027 seventh-round pick A reunion between Thielen and his former team seems too easy. The Vikings are struggling with injuries at wide receiver and a potential Jordan Addison suspension. The Panthers want to see what they have with their younger wideouts, and Hunter Renfrow's emergence in camp as a potential fourth or fifth option could squeeze a roster spot for Thielen, who doesn't play special teams. The problem is Thielen's $6.25 million base salary. The Vikings obviously would prefer the Panthers cut the 34-year-old and pick him up for free, but Carolina already paid Thielen a $1.5 million roster bonus earlier in the offseason, suggesting it expected to have him. His salary isn't yet guaranteed, but it will become so if he's on the roster in Week 1, leaving the Panthers until then to make a decision. If he does get released, he isn't likely to get anything close to $6.25 million from another team, so he also is facing some uncertainty. All sides involved probably would need to give a bit to make a mutually advantageous deal work. The Panthers would eat $1.5 million of Thielen's contract, getting two of the three picks the Vikings got from the Jets in the Harrison Phillips trade in return. Thielen would take a $1 million pay cut in return for having the remaining $3.8 million guaranteed. The Vikings cleared out almost exactly that much when they made the Phillips trade, allowing them to absorb what's left of Thielen's contract as part of the deal. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/46053274/nfl-preseason-trades-2025-team-offers-players-draft-picks-contracts
    • From JoeBucsFan. Teams don't usually waste 2nd round picks like that. Kind of sounds like they think he just doesn't belong in the NFL.
