More Pro Day hilarity.  And some insights.  They balance each other out pretty nicely I think.  Just read the article.

Oh, and by the way, NFLDraft101.com’s Chris Maier just posted a new three round mock.  His drafts are always good, and this one is no different.

BYU — WR Austin Collie didn’t do much more than he had already done in Indy.  He posted a 4.55 40, and he benched 225 pounds 17 times.  He did mention that he felt he hit his expected marks, and he felt he performed much better in the position drills.  Collie is a poor man’s Brian Robiskie if you ask me.  He’s pretty polished, but he lacks explosiveness and will be a possession type guy.  OG Travis Bright upped his bench reps from 34 to 35.  Both of those numbers are pretty impressive.  He’s a late round prospect with good upside as a run blocker.  Scouts were treated to strange Mormon food and a projector screen viewing of the latest episode of HBO’s Big Love.

Maryland — WR Darrius Heyward Bey was great in position drills.  He stood on his combine 40 time, but elected to run routes and catch the ball, which he did very well.  DHB displayed great hands and looked to be a very smooth runner.  I hate to say it, but I’m getting the feeling that Oakland will be targeting him in round one.  I know as well as anyone that 7th overall is too high, but this is Oakland we’re talking about.  Just don’t be surprised.  CB Kevin Barnes ran two sub 4.5 40s (4.45 and 4.49).  He doesn’t have the greatest hips in the world.  But he could be a nice fit for a team that runs a lot of cover two, which would take advantage of his straight line speed.  G Jaimie Thomas continues to fly under the radar a bit, but he’ll come off the board sooner than most casual fans expect.  He has great size and versatility, and he had a 28 inch VERT and an 8 foot BROAD.  That should come in handy for all those plays when he’s asked to jump as high and far as he can.  Should be fun to watch.

Oklahoma State — TE Brandon Pettigrew modeled a gray hooded sweatshirt for scouts at OSU’s pro day.  He said he has a grade 1 hamstring strain in his right leg.  Still, he implored the coaches not to worry about his 40 time, claiming to have run a 4.68 last spring.  Scouts quickly sighed, looked relieved and decided it was probably best just to take his word for it.  One Lions scout mentioned, “He looked real good in that sweatshirt.”  Pettigrew said he is undergoing intense rehab and hopes to get a chance to run again before the draft.  I hope so, too.  CB Jacob Lacey ran a 4.45, and that was pretty much it for the whole day.  No one was there to see Lacey anyway.

Texas Tech — The biggest news from this pro day came a few days back when WR Michael Crabtree announced that he will undergo surgery and will not be running a 40 time before the combine.  He should have just done what Brandon Pettigrew did and make up a time.  Then he wouldn’t have to worry.  He could claim a 4.2 and go on with his life.  OT Rylan Reed actually managed to get injured.  He was carried off the field after apparently dislocating his kneecap.  Sounds awful.  I wish him the best.  He did put up 44 reps of 225 before getting hurt.  G Louis Vasquez ran consecutive 5.22 40s.  He also had a 30.5 inch VERT and and 8-7 BROAD.  DE Brandon Williams ran a 4.80 and a 4.81.  Not bad, but not blazing.  I’m not sure this guy has the strength to hold up against any type of rushing game at the next level.  Texas Tech’s defense was one of the worst I’ve ever seen all year long.  S Darcel McBath ran a 4.53 and a 4.54.  He also weighed an even 200 pounds and had a 10 foot BROAD.  Finally, QB Graham Harrell continued his quest to become an undrafted free agent by struggling through the position drills.  For a guy with subpar arm strength and a system QB stigma, he is really hurting himself by being inaccurate.  Not Rylan Reed hurt, but emotionally hurt.

Troy — S/CB Sherrod Martin ran a 4.46 40.  He’ll be drafted as either a project corner or a free safety who isn’t asked to play near the line…ever.

Wyoming — RB Devin Moore is suffering from high expectations.  He was supposed to be a legit low to mid 4.3 guy, but he could only manage a 4.41.  That’s pretty ridiculous that he’s taking heat for running faster than any RB actually invited to the combine, but still he’s small and he’ll likely be a late round pick now because of that dreadful “fastest time in this class” 40.  Weird.

Ohio State — CB/S Malcolm Jenkins continued to disappoint in the 40.  He was timed in the 4.46 – 4.53 range, which is not good at all considering the Ohio State track usually gives runners a .07 – .1 second bonus.  He’ll probably be a safety in NFL teams’ eyes now, though I’m still convinced he CAN play some corner in the right system.  But even Jenkins appeared ready to accept the position change calling it a “positive.”  He’s still the top DB in the draft.  RB Chris Wells is closing the gap on Knowshon Moreno…for now.  He ran in the 4.34-4.46 range which is a vast improvement over his combine 4.59.  Apparently Wells has been working out as late as 10 pm some days in an effort to drop his numbers.  But until he’s implanted with whatever they gave Arnold Schwartzenegger in The Sixth Day, I still view him as a big time injury risk, and he will need a quick complementary back to be successful.  MLB James Laurinaitis ran a little bit better, but not great, posting times in the 4.68-4.78 range.  This is a guy who can’t be graded on measurables alone.  He’s a talented football player, and if you watch film of their USC game, you can see how strong he is at the point of attack.  He’ll be a steal for someone now that he’s likely fallen out of the first round.  Worst case, he can probably get you his dad’s autograph which will at least get him drafted into the XFL.  WR Brian Robiskie ran in the 4.5 range.  He was faster in Indy, but he is still one of the most polished receivers in this class.  He’ll be ready to contribute very early.
