2010 Combine in the Books

The 2010 NFL Scouting Combine is more than just a 40 yard dash and a few drills, it is a job interview for a lot of these college stars. The 2010 NFL Scouting Combine wrapped up its drills yesterday with the fastest competitors- the Defensive Backs. Many players increased their value but others seemed to disappoint the NFL scouts.

This 2010 NFL Combine had many players that are likely to be drafted in the top 5 including Ndamukong Suh, Eric Berry, Jimmy Clausen, Sam Bradford, and Gerald McCoy. Many players increased their draft value at the workouts such as USC safety Taylor Mays, who ran an astonishing 4.24 unofficial 40 yard dash and did well in the drills. But who do you want as your first round pick? Do you want the incredible player in stature and athleticism in Gerald McCoy or Ndamukong Suh? Or would you rather prefer a Quarterback or a skill player? Many questions seem to be coming up on who will be drafted in the first few picks. But one thing is for sure, the teams that have the first pick in the draft, the St. Louis Rams and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, need a strong player at the quarterback position. Each team is likely to get a strong performance out of these players week in and week out, but can they bring their team to the top is the question. Do you win games with a new defensive tackle or a franchise quarterback?

In my opinion, if I were the Rams, the Buccaneers, or the Redskins, I would have to choose a quarterback over a DB or a DT. These teams are paying big money to whoever comes out first, but would you want your team to waste that on a Defensive tackle? Ndamukong Suh is an outstanding player, but the DT position does not win games, just ask the Washington Redskins on their huge Free Agent pick up last year of Albert Haynesworth who they paid over 100 million dollars. Look how their season ended. I have written down my opinion, comment to see if you have one of your own.
