Feel free to use this as an open thread. I will post forty yard dash times here and any other testing numbers. At the end of the day I will post a comprehensive review.
If you want a refresher on what to look out for at each position check out our massive combine preview.

Albert Okwuegbunam ran a 4.49 which is superb at his size (nearly 6-6 and 258lbs). The big question with Okwuegbunam is he was deciding between a medical career and a football career. Clearly, he’s a terrific athlete.
Here are the official forty times:
Tight end broad jumps

Your boy Asiasi about to get us kicked off!
A bit disappointing for Hunter Bryant there.
Kmet looks impressive and ran pretty good for his size. Looked so much smaller to me on tape.
And then they show that he’s a multi-sport guy, which we know Seattle values…
The fact he played baseball as his primary sport is a key part of his evaluation I think. He’s raw but also a natural athlete and catcher of the football. Tested and measured as expected. He’s probably the only tight end I’d be ok with us taking with one of our first 3 picks (troutman maybe)
Not a good tight end class at all. Smart move to be aggressive with Olsen
I posted in another article that he would run between 4.68 and 4.78 or so. He’s exactly where I thought he would be. He plays faster than that by a little bit, but he’s never been a 4.5 guy.
Is Hunter Bryant’s time official? NFL.com has it as 4.60
NFL.com is wrong
Typical haha
Does that time for A Ok put him in first round discussions? Definitely is slower than i expected Hunter to run, and faster than i thought Harrison would run. Im still very intrigued by Harrison Bryant.
No — no way R1. It’s a really good time but a lot of question marks with Albert O.
Wow, Albert O… And here’s what I wrote about him on first look back in October:
“not the fastest” lol…
Stephen Sullivan looked good to me as well. Incredible length and should be able to add even more muscle. And then there’s his backstory:
https://www.theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/sports/lsu/article_fd9b40b6-ba06-11e9-bfff-9f8596103fcf.html
Clock looks to me like it’s stopping way after they cross the line…
I was thinking the same thing, but I’d guess it’s a TV thing.
Can’t wait to see the receivers run!!
Before seeing how smooth he looks in the rest of the drills, I’m also on the Sullivan train. Looked explosive and with that length? 😍
Oooh, I missed the little point by PC. Good eye, Rob.
After getting a closer look at the body types and the way they moved, I’m most interested in Stephen Sullivan, Cole Kmet, Devin Asisasi and (obligatory) Albert O.
What was the point? I missed it and would like to know.
Rob embedded the video in the article above. Hunter Bryant was about to run. JS was distracted with something else and PC pointed his attention to the field.
Eisen with a couple cheeky remarks already, banging on trash cans and Chris Jones “bursting onto the scene at the Combine”…
Let’s hope he doesn’t get bored too fast this year, or it’s gonna get bad… 😂
Sometimes ya just gotta let it all hang out. Relatable.
Leave it all on the field…
Every inch.
Um, did anyone actually try this with the sled before they decided to do it live on primetime national TV?
My money’s on a fat “no”.
at the last second…
Parkinson looked good with the sled. Interesting since his blocking skills are a huge question mark.
Whose stupid idea was it to make this prime time?
Amen
The sled drill is embarrassing. Nobody knows what to do.
The only drill I was excited about was the figure 8.
The gauntlet and W drill defeat the purpose.
Why have they started with the TE’s too?
If you want a primetime, great audience — start at 6pm and kick off with the QB’s or this great WR class.
I have zero answers to any of that.
Good question.
Sullivan with a really rough go in the first gauntlet run. Yikes.
Keene has looked good thus far.
Kmet with a beautiful gauntlet. Smooth, easy hands.
Hunter Bryant ran fast and with great body control, but fought the ball.
Parkinson and Dalton Keene looked good as well.
Sullivan much better 2nd time around.
Kmet looks really good so far. Also like Parkinson you don’t recognize his size during the drills. Just looks a bit slim. I wonder if he would look as good after a bit of bulk.
Dalton Keene looks very promising. Going to get some of his tape in tonight.
Stephen Sullivan with good times. Hunter Bryant probably just cost himself some money as he need to unhook the trailer.
You can say that again. Smaller tight end who’s not a great blocker who was touted for his speed creating mismatches in the passing game, but it turns out he doesn’t really have much speed.
Netane Muti with 44 BP reps!
Isaiah Wilson with 26. Great # for his length. Same for ‘Cush’ with 25. And Matt Peart with 26.
John Simpson with 34. Damn.
Isn’t Muti a T-Rex though? Helps with the bench.
Yeah his arms are short. Anytime you put up the 5th or 6th best #’s it’s impressive no matter how we slice it.
IF Seattle did in fact meet with ‘Beast’ aka Hunter Bryant, are paying close attention to his testing, and we know JS scouted the Apple Cup in person, is there fire with all this smoke?
Was Olsen a hedge for him?
No! It’s OK to like certain players, pay attention to their combine. Maybe be prepared to take them in a certain value range. Not every player you like is a ‘target’ though.
Agree.
On the positive side, he finally showed something good today on that corner route. Ability to really put his foot in the ground and change directions explosively.
Pinkney has looked atrocious in every way.
100%
Only Wilcox there to compete with him for worst TE performance at the Combine.
Wilcox had no business even being there really
They keep saying on the broadcast they expected a faster time from Hunter Bryant.
He ran a 4.82 at SPARQ.
His test is the short shuttle — the one that matters — not the forty.
He also looks the part physically during the catching drills. I feel a stampede through TV.
Have they posted those numbers for the TE’s yet? I’m interested in the vertical as well.
Not yet. They’ll be doing those tests now.
Will Claypool qualify as a local visit for the Seahawks being from British Columbia, or is it based upon the location of the college? (Notre Dame: Chicago).
https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/04/05/breaking-down-the-rules-regarding-pre-draft-rookie-visits/
Thanks!
Wow. 15 reps from Hamler is seriously impressive.
yeah, very nice. Too bad he’s not gonna run. Same with Higgins.
Just heard that. Hammy for Hamler, but just “resting” for Higgins. This is getting really annoying.
If I were a GM — I might ‘rest’ Higgins from my draft board.
Such a shame! Hamler looks very fast on tape faster than his 4.43 in the SPARQ I think.
It never fails that my professional schedule goes crazy at the most inconvenient times. I wish I could follow the Combine myself, participate in the SDB message boards, swap perspectives, share information, shoot the breeze about the prospects, watch Sea Mode beat me to posting the scoops again and again (you’re too fast for me buddy), etc.
Well at least I have Rob’s elite level analysis and information to keep me informed. His Combine primer from a few days ago was excellent. Truly benchmark level stuff.
I wish I could spend all day with this stuff, and lately I’ve been too exhausted at night to participate. But just know my heart and mind is with y’all at this most wonderful time of the year.
Appreciate it man!
I feel you. I got hit during the actual draft last year.
Anyways, I just post as I see and look if others are seeing the same thing or differently, all with a Seahawks taint, of course. So I’m glad to see the same things posted again.
That said, the QBs are running 40s and it is midnight. I’m out. So you will be beating me from here on out.😁
Rob, you’re a trooper, but definitely take care of yourself. We need you going strong through the whole draft season!
Brandon Aiyuk — 40 inch vertical
There ya go. Another check in the box.
Cincy TE/H-back Josiah Deguara has had one hell of a combine so far. Tons of versatility too.
Claypool @ 4.45 at that size is tremendous
His senior bowl was great too. The way he uses/sets up his rocker steps is some of the best I’ve seen from these wideouts so far.
With an NFL weight & conditioning program behind him, we might soon be seeing a 245-250 pound man running a 4.5 down the seam for someone. What a freakin’ weapon.
Chase Claypool at 238 lbs running a 4.45 is f***in’ incredible!
Wish I could say Duvernay running a 4 flat was surprising, but it ain’t. His tape more than shows it.
Great time for LSU’s Justin Jefferson.
He lowered it?!? 🔥🔥
Love it! Running that time at that size is almost D.K. territory. A more physical Evan Engram perhaps. Sad part is he is likely going to move up too early into the 2nd to be in the Seahawks range.
Auiyk in the 4.5’s is a little surprising. Takes him out of what the Hawks usually take early. I know he’s a freak with length and explosion, but slower than I would have thought.
Conversely, I wonder if Justin Jefferson at 4.44 put him on our radar.
Shoulda been on it already honestly.
Concur. He reminds me of Michael Thomas.
He’d fit Seattle perfectly even though they aren’t a heavy 3 WR set team
Ya I was not expecting that time from Jeff. Pretty impressive! He seems really solid. Well, he can be on our radar now, and if he goes earlier, he’ll hopefully push guys like Aiyuk and Reagor back in the draft a bit.
Go get Claypool KC!
I so want the Hawks to draft him this year! I have been talking about him for months but mostly because he is a Canuck and I knew he was really explosive but I never saw that 40 time coming.
I don’t think anyone did. Not at that size. He’s gonna be good. The SR bowl sold me on him, this a bow wrapped neatly on a present.
I know Trevor! You have been on him for some time. Good call thus far. TE convert or just line him up in the slot and create mis-matches.
Hey could use him in an Evan Engram type role. Too big for most slot CB to cover and too fast for most LB. He knows how to use his body in the red zone and high point the ball too.
Also a great special teamer which we know PC / JS look for.
And what does Russ always do? Throws the deep and jump balls. Play to gis strengths.
I though you or someone on this blog tipped that he was running 4.4’s during combine training. I wasn’t surprised but I am impressed. Jefferson ran faster than I thought and the tape is GOOD.
I brought up Michigan’s Donovan Peoples-Jones last week for a reason. Highly under utilized and under rated.
My man just hit a 44.5″ vert ya’ll 👀
Wow. Thats very impressive. I wouldn’t have thought he had that type of burst. Time for me to go back to the tape.
Nice call! Conservatives offense and awful QB play would have really impacted his production I assume.
Been watching him for a couple years. Love his name. I call him “The People’s Jones” and my girlfriend hates it when he catches the ball because I won’t shut up. I also call Aaron Jones “the peoples Jones” for whatever reason.
I’m always surprised at the lack of production from that guy but he is obviously a top athlete and has a great frame. One to monitor.
I’ve posted the tight end vertical jump marks.
Anyone really standing out to you Rob in the TE group?
Nobody. Kmet and Hunter Bryant looked the smoothest in drills but the words that came to mind watching the class was ‘crap’ and ‘boring’.
As expected I guess. I think it is part of the reason they went after Olsen so hard. Next years TE class looks stacked.
Sullivan was looking solid until his 3 cone and short shuttle.
Is Justin Jefferson the most under rated WR in this draft class? Almost has a Mike Thomas vibe about him. Just knows how to get open and faster than I expected.
That’s how I see it. Hightower from Boise St has also looked really smooth and quick.
The top 4 fastest WR are in the 2nd group I think. Will be interesting to see. I wish they’d show more of the jumps.
That’s a great vert for RAY-GER as he says.
Saw someone on twitter say that more than 1 scout thinks he’s got more upside than CeeDee Lamb. That’s because he does. Is his floor higher? Ehh. Debatable. The ceiling certainly is.
Used to be the NBA drafted purely on upside and potential (not that that’s all he is). Now that trend has carried over to the NFL.
What did he jump?
42″ and had an 11’6″ broad
Those are great numbers. Vol, what’s your O/U number on his 40? I’ll set the line at 4.34.
Over. At 4.38
Man has he jumped out of our range (literally)
I’ll take the under for $20 Alex 😬
No doubt about Reagors upside.
But I keep coming back to the fumbles. 6 fumbles this year in 77 touches.
We knock Jonathan Taylor for 6 fumbles in 346 touches, but Reagor had a serious problem putting the ball on the ground this year.
Wow. I didn’t even know that. A bit concerning for sure, but I’m not sure that trumps the talent and athleticism if given the chance to pull the trigger.
They literally took him off of kick returns because he was putting the ball on the ground this year. It’s an issue for him and it’s been mentioned here before.
yikes
Short shuttle and three cone times now posted on the blog for the TE’s.
Any tape on Charlie Taumoepeau? Might be a really solid, later day 3 pick. Would be an absolute steal as an UDFA.
Dalton Keene with some monster numbers
Claypool had a 40.5 inch vertical at almost 240lbs. Combine that with his 4.43 40 and you are talking a serious freak athlete.
Anthony Gordon has looked better than Fromm tonight.
At this rate I don’t think Jake Fromm is in the NFL in two years
I agree with Pauline’s take on Fromm: He’s only as good as the team around him. He’s not the kind of QB who elevates a team around him to greatness.
He is better than Fromm so no suprise there.
Claypool is officially on my radar.
Daniel Jeremiah is not funny.
I miss Mayock.
Denzel Mims with a 4.40 is huge. He is going to be a be a really good NFL WR and TD machine. Kenny Golliday 2.0
Strong Senior Bowl and great 40. Probably one of the biggest risers through this process. I wonder how early he’ll go.
I think end of round #2 is the absolute floor.
Just checked Walterfootball’s list of team visits. Just updated, and the list for the Seahawks so far is:
Bradley Anae – Utah
Zach Baun – Wisconsin
Ross Blacklock – TCU
Hunter Bryant – Washington
AJ Dillon – Boston College
Yetur Gross-Matos – Penn State
Julian Okwara – Notre Dame
Jalen Reagor – TCU ( My guy 🙂 )
Logan Stenberg – Kentucky ( Oh YEAH!)
Would be ecstatic with any of these guys except Blacklock.
Keep an eye out for multiple visits. that will be a huge indicator
Watch some more Blacklock. He was borderline dominant at times.
Go watch a couple games of the guys you like (Raekwon Davis or whoever) then go out on some of the TCU games. Rob’s criticism of Blacklock is kinda a strength for me because he has the speed/quickness to move down the line and explode through gaps that he doesn’t start at. But he still has the power to go through guys if needed.
Length could be an issue for sure though. Not the kind of frame the hawks have looked for.
He’s not using speed and quickness to move down the line. He is working on designed stunts or he’s being allowed to freelance. Stunts are not easily translatable to NFL production and freelancing is extremely rare at defensive tackle in the NFL. Especially when you’re doing what he does — which is basically checking each gap to see if the door’s open.
The snark about Raekwon Davis is unnecessary and unwelcome. Because he’s anchoring the Alabama line, playing with great leverage at 6-7, lining up at DE, controlling his gaps and defending the run extremely well. These are all things we know the Seahawks value in their one-gap system. Quite aside from the fact they’ve never drafted a DL with sub-33 inch arms, Blacklock isn’t showing any gap discipline when he’s moving around the line all the time.
Henry Ruggs with a sub 4.3. lmao. WR1 for me
Ruggs has a Tyreek Hill look to him the way he almost glides when he runs. He is going to be long gone by #27 unfortunately.
Oh yeah. I’d take him over Jeudy and Lamb. That’s just me though.
Where does the love for such speed come from? I mean Tyreek is THE speedster in the NFL and even he is not the WR1 in the league. Most of the very very good WR are not the fastest.
Looking at the tape I don’t see how you can put Ruggs over Jeudy/Lamb.
I had him #1 before this. Just confirms it for me is all.
I don’t see anything special from Lamb at all. I think he’s gonna struggle against much more physical corners than he played against in the BIG 12. Has he ever seen a good press? Doubt it.
Jeudy? Don’t see a WR1 at all. Pure slot guy. Then again, wiry frame. You want that over the middle? Thought he hurt his offense against LSU. The NFL like reps he’ll see BTW.
Ruggs is a game changer man. Give .e guys who take the top off a defense and flip the field. He’s also gonna make guys miss much more than those other 2. Underrated route runner. Will force defenses to cheat and his speed will dictate coverages. I think he’s a much better fit in the current model of the NFL with the manufactured touches we see.
Okay fair enough. If you dislike both Jeudy and Lamb then Ruggs must be WR1. Im just suprised because the “taking the top off” skill is rare but not as rare as elite x receivers. Guys like Mecole Hardman can do just that too. I don’t think the difference between guys in the 4.35 ranges and 4.28 is that visable on the field.
No, your right. It really isn’t. Ruggs game is predicated on speed and his terrific foot speed though, no?
Loved Mecole Hardman. Championed him all last fall and evrn said I thought KC was the ideal team for a guy w/ his skill set.
I also love the Deebo’s, Lockett’s, Steve Smith’s of the world. Chip on shoulder, gritty, play bigger than their size.
Seattle for example. Able to play like they do and stay in every game for a mtitude of reasons, but one that goes unmentioned is the type of receivers they deploy. The guys like Ruggs that let them flip the field quickly because the defense has to cover so much ground and as you know, that ain’t easy in shells and a helmet for 50 odf minutes. Spees kills as corny as it sounds.
And that was riddled with spelling errors. Embarassing. My apologies.
And I know this comes across as anti Jeudy. I’m not. I think he’s an exceptional route runner. Wouldn’t shock me to see him play 10 + in the NFL at a high level. However, I don’t think he’ll ever be the guy people want him to be nor he will live up to a top 10 selection.
If I’m wrong? Ill come be right here to eat crow.
The good news is he was always going earlier than 27, so this doesn’t change anything. Pittman running 4.52 is about where I felt he would be. He’s great when he gets the ball in the open field for a big dude. Reagor’s first 40 was as much of a letdown as 4.47 could be. 4.50 on his second run? He definitely doesn’t play at that time. He’s exciting.
Reagor as a 4.5 guy is a surprise. He killed everything else though.
He did run a 4.47 forty but yes — I thought we’d see faster.
Wow Reagor tested off the charts. Was fun picturing him in a Hawks uniform before the combine, but I think he goes way too early now.
I would disagree. A lot of weight is held in the 40 time, and his wasn’t great. I think that will allow us to move down and still grab him if we want. Just my opinion tho.
Hot take:
He’s gonna go in the same range Tyler Lockett went in 2015.
What’s his 10 & 20? If that’s low it’ll impact his stock big time. He proved todat he’s not explosive. Fast? Nah.
God dammit.
Proved today he IS explosive.
Something to remember with Reagor is that he weighs 206 pounds. That’s why I’m not too worried about the 40. He’s not a twig like Hollywood Brown was last year. Sooo explosive.
Jalen Reagor comparable to Golden Tate?
Reagor 5’ 11” 206. Arm Length 31 3/8. 40 4.47. Broad 11’ 6”. Vertical 42”. 17 BP
Tate 5’ 10 1/4”. Arm length 30 1/2. 40 4.42. Broad 10’ Vertical 35” 17 BP
I think Duvernay is more comparable to Tate.

Plus just the way he plays.
He’s been my 2nd favorite receiver coming into today. And I think still is. I didn’t see anything here today to Change my mind – well maybe claypools performance.. Id take Duvernay in late Rd 2 or top 3 and be stoked.
I will have to look more into Duvernay. Tate was my favorite receiver that Russ has had. I just love Tate’s playstyle.
Duvernay worries me. Pauline saw stiffness at the sr. bowl. Maybe a lingering injury. for a 5th round pick that speed will work on Teams and in 4 WR sets.
The two big winners on my watch list today were Denzel Mims and Chase Claypool. Was a big fan of both before the combine and thought they would be great 3rd round targets for the Hawks.
After today I would be really suprised if both do not go in the top 50 picks.
QB thoughts:
Love and Montez both look very good in the drills. Both leave you wanting more on tape.
I know nothing about Luton, but he appears to be accurate and has good zip.
Cole McDonald is having about as bad of a performance as I can remember for a QB at the combine. Liked his film, but that is one unnatural throwing motion and he is under throwing guys by 10 yards out here.
Raegor’s and Ruggs 40’s stacked on top of one another. Interesting watch.

Came out of nowhere. Interesting results.
Things I Think I Learned Today
1. We got the CB arm length measurements today and 6 met the 32” threshold. Lamar Jackson has been mentioned here but BoPete Keyes and Michael Ojemudia are added to the list as potential Day 3 targets.
2. Pete Carroll says he is comfortable with Tre Flowers and Shaquille Griffin as starting CBs so I don’t expect Seattle to draft an outside corner on Day 1 or Day 2 or pursue any expensive veterans.
3. Stephen Sullivan is big and fast and explosive. But, his short shuttle was terrible so he probably won’t be a Seahawk. Dalton Keene was a name I was unfamiliar with but he and Charlie Taumoepeau tested well.
4. There are going to be lots of WRs for Seattle to choose from on Day 2. 20 ran in the 4.4s so there will also be some possibilities on Day 3.
5. It is cool seeing Rob’s SDB pieces being quoted by draft writers. It is nice to see his talent being recognized by a broader audience.
Keene was a guy that I mentioned last week or so. Looked great, but underutilized ontape. Not a huge need anymore, but a developmental TE late would be welcomed.
Checked out some of the highlights of the 4.0 and faster 40 times of wide receivers. Impressed with Antonio Gibson as receiver, running back and kick returner,
