From the Observer (link)

The Winners:

- CB David Amerson, NC State (showed good athleticism)

- DT Sharif Floyd, Florida (most athletic DT)

- OL Jonathan Cooper, UNC (good stats and interviews)

- CB Dee Milliner, Alabama (solidified status as a top ten pick)

- CB Tyrann Mathieu, LSU (showed good physical skills)

The Losers:

- LB Manti Te'o, Notre Dame (lousy 40 and an image - courtesy of John Harbaugh - that'll stick in memory)

- OG Chance Warmack, Alabama (bad 40, skipped bench press, scouts said he looked "soft")

- QB Mike Glennon, NC State (inconsistent/nothing special in throwing drills)

- CB Johnthan Banks, Mississippi State (average 40 time and looked bad in drills)

- DE Damontre Moore, Texas A&M (slow 40, only 11 reps on the bench)

Mind you, this is not written by a scout, but the notes included are fairly valid. I'm guessing Person discussed this with someone in the know and/or picked up on the scouts' chatter. Take it for what it's worth.

One "winner" was the little running back from Auburn, Onterio McCalleb, who they thought for a short time had broken Chris Johnson's record. He still ran a 4.34, fastest RB in the combine.

Somebody will take a shot on that speed around the 4th-6th round and stick him in to return kicks and play 3rd down back.

good thread......only thing i slightly disagree with is milliner...dude was dropping everything in the drills....i mean they were easy passes to......

Person's take in full...

Milliner did nothing to hurt his standing as the top corner in the draft. Milliner blazed through the 40 in 4.37 seconds and dazzled in defensive back drills. If the Panthers want him, they'll have to trade up from 14. Way up.

Granted, dropping passes doesn't hurt a corner as much as it would a receiver. Still, if he showed poor hands, that may indeed turn some teams off.

      Favorite JAG 2020+

      By shaqattaq · Posted

      IMO, I wouldn't consider either one of them a JAG, or Norwell or Mike Jack. I define a JAG as someone that can be easily replaced cheaply on day 3 of FA. A perfect example is Nick Scott. A deent enough back-up but not a starter. We let him test FA this offseason, no one made a good offer, we brought him back then drafted his replacement (I hope). Luvu, Shaq and Norwell were all starters that we let walk for financial reasons... And they all got picked up immediately by other teams. After they left us, they were missed. I fear that the same thing will happen next year with Jackson.

      No he is not. On any other normal team he would be a backup if not off the team.

      You could be right. I feel like if Bryce has a year basically the same as last year we're better off trading him because there are likely several teams that would be interested, despite what his naysayers on this forum will tell you. Not saying we'd get a 1st or 2nd rounder, but I feel confident some team would be willing to cough up a 3rd rounder for a former #1 overall QB that has shown at least some flashes.
