Why the hell isn't the NFL network running the DB stats. All it is is the results from days ago. ****ers.

[Master___Pain]

T. Wheatley runs a 4.38 and 17 reps at 225. Not too bad.

Not bad at all. Johnny on the spot when the ball is in the air... we could use another young DB to groom behind Paymah.

36.5 inch vert which will help him since he measured in at 5-9.5 and 190 lbs. Good returner too. I'd love the see him picked up in the 4th

I'm glad to see that. He could, at the least, be a contributor to the special teams as a late pick.

He ranks in the top 10 at CU in total return yards which includes guys like Cliff Branch, Deon Figures, Jeremy Bloom and Walter Stanley


Here's a good site that you can sort the results by position.

Thanks, MP.

13 DBs ran sub 4.4. Has to be one of the fastest classes for CBs ever.

Hopefully that'll push some of those first rounders up before the 12th pick.

Wheatley made him self some money today. Top 5 in each drill except for bench and 20 yard shuttle. His play on the field speaks for it self, but teams are going to have to get comfortable with his wrist injuries. He might have moved himself into the first day.

I'd say Leodis McKelvin, Mike Jenkins, and Dominique Rogers-Cromartie all helped themselves, and were 1st round CB types to start. Wouldn't surprise me if both McKelvin and Jenkins make the top 15.

Aqib Talib has likely cost himself some money though. Only 10 bench reps and a 4.47 40. Not impressive for a guy already dealing with athleticism questions. This when the three afore mentioned guys, his biggest competition, all ran 4.3's with 17+ bench reps.

Kenny Phillips ran a 4.54, hopefully that makes everyone shut up about him being a top 15 pick.

Tom Zbikowski, a personal favorite of mine, weighed in at 211, ran a 4.52, and did 24 bench reps which tied for 2nd most by a DB. I look forward to seeing his cone drills and verticals. He's a better athlete than he measures out as though and I think he'd be a steal for us in the 4th as a hard hitting strong safety with some ball skills.

My observations: Jamie Silva looks better, more fluid than his times would indicate. He can play in the NFL.

Zbikowski, as much as I wanted to not like him, he impressed me. Looked very fluid and very quick. Good ball skills, though that really applies to both players.

Kenny Phillips did not impress me. Not fluid enough to be a first round pick. Maybe in the 2nd. But no on Phillips as a 1st round guy.

again, just my opinions
