However, I do think a guy can really hurt his stock with a performance at the combine if there are already concerns.

The one guy that I think really hurts himself at the combine in Desmand King of Iowa.  I don't think he will show the athleticism that the scouts want at CB.  There's already buzz that he is going to have to play safety in the NFL.  I think a less than outstanding combine will confirm that in most scouts eyes.

Just looking at last year, I think the combine boosted Goff and Wentz due to their respective throwing and measurables. I think it sky rocketed Fuller and Doctson from 2nd round picks as well.

And more than just measurables and such, interviews and personally meeting the players is a great way for players to rise a round or so as well.

I don't think there are many multi round jumpers as a result of the combine anymore, but movement within the first round is a real possibility.

I do agree, though, that more often than not, the combine hurts a prospect than helps him.

Especially the interviews haha.
