That's a great pick...that dude can play. He's reall flown up draft boards lately as well...originally we were hoping that Cleveland could land him as an UDFA. Good luck to him.

Miami's Terna Nande just went as the fourth pick in the fifth round to the Tennessee Titans. Nice to see him there after coming back from his injury.

Anybody wondering if Jacobs could drop to UDFA?

Doubt it, but nothing would surprise me. At this point it's blatantly obvious that when the coaches asked him to breakdown film they were not very enthused with his answers.

Right, Hammb. Ingle Martin of Furman (for crying out loud) was just taken. IF there is a team out there that likes him, I doubt if they are under any pressure to take him before someone else does.

Isn't that what Omar ran?

Yeah, but I've seen and read and heard that Omar has run a 4.5 too at the combine. Just seeing that 4.8 doesn't do Omar justice in what he is capable of. Brian Calhoun's supposed official time via nfl.com was 4.66 and he's been clocked at 4.29 before. So 40 times can rise and fall with wind really.

Most 40 times are severely inflated. I don't know how many times I've been told a lineman can run a 4.4 out of high school. Those stop watches are tricky tools...

Yeah , I've been told countless times by my OSU buddy that mammoth former Ohio State O-lineman Orlando Pace ran a 4.7 40 at 330lbs. He's also told me that AJ Hawk was a 4.4 guy but I remember hearing or reading that his time was in the 4.7's at the combine.

I really don't think Pace ran a 4.7

Hawk ran a time in the 4.45 range his Junior year at the OSU pro day. This year he ran something around 4.55 at the OSU pro day. Both times are much faster than his combine time because of the track. OSU's track is notoriously fast and Indy's is notoriously slow.
