For me,
COMBINES
Combines are an interesting nuissance of analysis. I prefer playing speed over putting a man in track shoes and timing him.
SENIOR BOWL
I have the fortune & misfortune have NOT watching the Senior Bowl. THere are two ways of looking at this: 1) He knew he needed a big game and played with maximum effort. This could mean he will go back to slacking it in the NFL like he did all season in college. 2) He was slacking and realize he needed to play with greater intensity, and therefore came out with maximum effort and concentration. In the NFL, he will know he will have to play that way if he wants to stay in the league.
I personally believe it will come down to the FO one on one communication with him. If he is a character guy and his honest about his ethics & commitments, then the Saints may draft him at #10.
As I said before,... The draft is a crap shoot,... but my new phrase is,... the draft is like a box of chocolat, you never know what you gonna get! :ezbill:
This will remain true until we discover the exact "thing" that will indicate which players have the "thing" to suceed in the NFL.
