Micah Kiser ran a solid 4.67, which was a bit better than I thought. I think given his instincts, tackle production, and tape combined with his solid Combine definitely makes him a candidate to be drafted by the Bengals.

Also, Roquan running low 4.5’s while getting up to 236 lbs is a good time too. Not quite as impressive as Edmunds with mid-4.5’s at 250 lbs but still keeps him around the 7-15 range.

I think Edmunds solidified himself as LB#1 and doubt he'll make it past Gruden and the Raiders, but he might take Roquan Smith. Depends on if he wants to get his next Simeon Rice or his next Derrick Brooks. 

As to today's drills: 

Early in the year I was very high on the DT from Bama (Payne) and have no idea why I cooled off. Over 300 lbs running sub 5.0 forty.

Phillips 66 is longer than expected 6'4" with 33.875" arms. Dude is beyond strong and showed quick twitch in the short-shuttle and 3 cone.

Outside of Griffin and Edmunds I really didn't see any LBs that wow'd.
