Defensive tackle Terrence Cody weighed 349 pounds, ran 5.64 and 5.62 in the 40, 22-inch vertical leap, 7-9 broad jump, kept short shuttle and three-cone drill times from the combine and had 22 bench press reps.

Big Terrence is gonna be skinny as a rail if he dosen't keep shedding the lbs.
But he's down from his combine weight, which was down from his SB weight.
Can't hurt his case.

Rob Rang, in his latest mock, has us taking Joe Haden, CB, Florida with the 20th pick saying his combine dropped his stock a bit.

Haden was picked just ahead of:
Taylor Mays
Sergio Kindle
Mike Iupati
Carlos Dunlap
Jared Odrick

Chad Reuter has us taking Earl Thomas, S-CB, Texas with the 20th pick ahead of the following:
Golden Tate
Sergio Kindle
Mike Iupati
Carlos Dunlap
Kyle Wilson
Sean Witherspoon

Other than Tate, I find any of the other six acceptable and would be entertaining trade down offers.

Three Texas A&M players who did not participate in the NFL Scouting Combine produced outstanding workouts at the school’s pro day, which was held Wednesday, indoors on FieldTurf.
Center Kevin Matthews, who is the son of Hall of Fame offensive lineman Bruce Matthews and cousin of current Green Bay Packers linebacker Clay Matthews, took advantage of his opportunity to impress the representatives from nine NFL teams in attendance.
Matthews (6-foot-3, 298 pounds) ran the 40-yard dash — which was run on a rubber matting placed over the FieldTurf — in 5.32 and 5.27 seconds, had a 29-inch vertical leap, an 8-foot, 3-inch broad jump and posted times of 4.83 seconds in the short shuttle and 7.69 seconds in the three-cone drill. He also did 32 repetitions of 225 pounds in the bench press. Those 32 bench press reps would have placed Matthews tied for ninth among offensive linemen at the combine. Where Matthews really made his mark was with an exceptional performance in the position drills.

I dunno are those shuttle & 3-cone times any good ?
But look for Kubiak to sign this guy as an undrafted FA.

LeGarrette Blount, a controversial running back who has been trying to restore his image, was a no-show at Oregon’s pro day Thursday.

That's the final flag waving for me. He's off my list.

Plus I am starting to believe that Kubiak's version of RB is a smaller guy then Blount. And the kid keeps acting like a me first punk.

Supposedly he is going to be at his second Pro Day. This is one of the few times where I actually WOULD consider drafting a low character guy. Assuming he falls far enough down in the draft, that is. If we could get him for a fifth, and we only we got one year of production out of him before we had to let him go because of issues, it seems to me it would be worth it if we got him cheap.

Anyone care to predict how high he will be drafted?

Matthews long jump shows a lack of explosion, UDFA type who might be camp fodder and maybe a practice squad guy.

I see a coaching career in his future. At best.
