Gotta question about the combine this week

[chubs2496]

Hey guys, I have never been so involved in trying to scout what players I would like to have on the panthers. Knowing that it makes no difference what I think anyways. I stil enjoy doing this. So I'm wondering what the combine is going ti be. I've watched before but not really paid a lot of attention. Are the top prospects scheduled to workout and do drills first or what. For instance I wanna see blackmon and other wr's run the 40. Is that scheduled or do they just Wing it. Basically how will I know when the players I wanna see start their drills and whatnot?

I believe certain positions go first. Like DBs, QBs, DLs, OLs, etc.

Also they are broken down to areas. DTs and DEs are DLs, CBs and S are DBs. So on and so forth.

Each day a different group does drills for their position. The 40s too.

the breakdown:

The 2012 NFL Scouting Combine begins today in Indianapolis with offensive linemen, tight ends and special teamers checking in for registration and medical checks. It's the start of six days of poking, prodding and questioning from both teams and the media. (Full schedule here)

Drills don't start until Saturday and begin airing at 9 a.m. on NFL Network. (Full NFL Network schedule here, work out breakdown here) But before those drills start, there will be plenty going on. The first group of players (OL, ST, TE) will meet with the media on Thursday.

Group 1 (Special Teams, Offensive Linemen), Group 2 (Offensive Linemen), Group 3 (Tight Ends)

Wednesday, February 22, 2012 - Travel to Indianapolis, Registration, Hospital Pre-Exam & X-rays, Orientation, Interviews

Thursday, February 23, 2012 - Measurements, Medical Examinations, Media, Psychological Testing, Interviews

Friday, February 24, 2012 - NFLPA Meeting, Psychological Testing, PK/ST Workout, Interviews

Saturday, February 25, 2012 - Workout (timing, stations, skill drills), Departure from Indianapolis

the rest of the positions are in different groups as well.

Group 4 (Quarterbacks, Wide Receivers), Group 5 (Quarterbacks, Wide Receivers), Group 6 (Running Backs)

Group 7 (Defensive Linemen), Group 8 (Defensive Linemen), Group 9 (Linebackers)

Group 10 (Defensive Backs), Group 11 (Defensive Backs)

and they all go through pretty much the same thing as that first group does, just on different days.

each of the position groups will cycle/rotate through each of the drills.

What is the "psychological testing?" I don't remember hearing that, but I am on chemo, so a bit foggy.

that would be the wonderlic.

it's not just an intelligence test.

Wonderlic Personnel Test (WPT) claims to measure your general intelligence. However, in fact, it measures your verbal, numerical and spatial capabilities. This highly culture based test is one of the most widely used psychological instruments all over the world. It attempts to screen the candidates for certain jobs within the shortest possible time. It may be termed as a quick IQ test.

Focusing Areas of Wonderlic Personnel Test

The Wonderlic Personnel IQ Test focuses upon your verbal, numerical and spatial capabilities. However, the questions may take different angles depending upon the ‘intelligence’ of the question setters.

Verbal IQ test

The verbal testing may contain questions of following types:

1- You may be given certain words and be required to compare each of them to make a definite right choice from the multiple choice answers.

2- You may find some disarranged sentences and be required to arrange them to find out a logical solution.

3- You may be asked to identify parallelism in sentences.

4- You may even find some story demanding your critical reasoning to find out the correct answer.

Math IQ Test

The numerical intelligence testing focuses upon your basic mathematical skills. The questions may be structured as:

1- You may find certain questions with decimals, fractions and other mathematical concepts.

2- You may be given a numerical series with certain pattern. You may be required to find out the next option following the given pattern.

3- You may find some numbers and be asked to compare them.

Spatial IQ Test

The spatial ability test portion focuses upon your imagination, visualization and knowledge of basic geometrical concepts. The questions may be structured in a number of ways including:

1- You may be asked to follow certain directions and reach to the right destination imaginatively.

2- You may be required to analyze some geometrical shapes to find out the required answer.
