I can't link up so if someone wants to find a story and link it feel free. Apparently two scouts clocked him around 5.00 on his forty and was stiff in several drills.

Not sure how serious we were about him going into today but he didn't help himself amd didn't quash any rumors about his knee being healthy.

He reportedly looked good in defensive line drills and the three cone drill.

Bowers' much-discussed knee appeared to be fine throughout the workout, according to people at the event. For a 6'3", 276-pound defensive end that may or may not fit in a 3-4, however, the 40 times - and a reported degree of rust to his game - could cause him to start sliding (slightly) down draft boards.

I think where they said he looked stiff was in linebacker drills or something like that. So not sure how important those drills are for a DE.

The first one also said he looked rusty and a little winded but that was to be expected since he has been out of football for a while.

Word. I was going off the twitter feed. 40 times caught me off guard. Thatough he would be better but I just don't think he is healthy yet.

It is a double edged sword. If you say you are healthy but then struggle your stock drops. If you say you aren't healthy they think you heal slowly and your stock drops. He was kinda screwed either way.

Well call him 'Rock' because his draft value just sunk.

      Baldinger on the 2026 LB Class

      By PleaseCutStewart · Posted

      As long as we have DB, odd man fronts are the way to go for us. We want to line DB up between the guard and tackle (4i-tech) because of how quick he is off the snap and his punch on the guard off the snap. If anyone is wondering why he pretty much has to be doubled (or combo blocked) just about every snap, its because he is lined up in that spot in our odd man front. If we change to an even front, it becomes a lot harder to have DB play the 4i-tech.  Not sure if I would say Evero likes smaller NTs - I wouldn't call Bobby Brown a small NT by any sense. I think we run a 1-tech NT, so they are usually getting double teamed (or combo blocked) by concept alone. I actually think Bobby Brown did a pretty good job of eating blocks and being positionally sound on most runs at him (not his fault we were rocking ass LBs last year + Wharton being god awful). The bigger problem came on the toss plays/outside runs where DB wasn't able to blow it up in the backfield (i.e., the Bills game). Lloyd should help with the run D and getting a rangy LB in the draft will definitely help. There are also some good 1-tech DTs (and 0-techs) that can be instant day 1 starters for us in the draft.

      Thanks for bringing receipts. I appreciate the facts, but they are a stark contrast to what we see on the ice, but maybe, as I've said before, his "aw sh!t" moments just seem to weigh heavier than his "attaboy" moments.
