I always like taking a look at Combine/Pro Day numbers because it's typically the only numbers were get on these guys who we regret watching for the past 4 or 5 years.
RAL - small, but his 40 time, vertical, and broad jump are fine; 3-cone time would have been third for WRs at the combine; I expect to see him get a camp invite as a UDFA
Aston - Dude is a monster. No FBs were invited to the combine but he has plenty of film to back up what he does. His bench would have been near the top for RBs and tops for TEs. He'll get a UDFA deal somewhere and probably carve out a FB/ST NFL career.
Defensive lineman - these guys all suck. Folston and Hendrix put up solid 40 times and Folston's numbers would be top five for DEs at the combine. Unfortunately we all know he's a bad football player. Roy is slow and weak and had no business playing in front of who he did last season.
OL - Herndon is a good dude who went through a lot here and stuck it out. Numbers aren't great but I could see him getting run as a camp body. Bookser is recovering from surgery and could do much yesterday, but I expect him to get an UDFA deal.
LB- Idowu is small, his 40 time is good for the position and his bench numbers are impressive, but his 3 cone, vertical, and broad jump are mud city. He could be a camp body but will only have an NFL career if Narduzzi decides to become an NFL head coach. Surprised to see Zeise weigh in at 240. He's slow and weak but his 3 cone would have been the best result for LBs at the combine. Again, could be a camp body. Wirginis is still recovering from surgery. I would expect him to get a UDFA deal.
Jonov - who the hell is this guy?
RB - The main event. Ollison is big and some of his numbers are from the combine, where his 40 time was 13th, his bench results were bad, his vertical was near the bottom, and his broad jump was the bottom. His three cone result yesterday would have been top five at the combine. I don't think he'll get drafted but will get a UDFA deal. I could see him sticking around the NFL as a third string back/special teams contributor, but I don't know if he runs with enough power to be the type of back his size/speed profile dictates he should be.
Hall had a great day yesterday and should have been invited to the combine. His 40 time would have been 2nd at the combine, his bench press tied for 2nd, his 3 cone would have been 1st (supplanting some scrub named Miles Sanders), his vertical would have been near the bottom, and his broad jump would have played his 8th. He's going to get drafted and it wouldn't surprise me in the least if he had a solid NFL career.
