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. 

I think smith did enough to solidify his position as a top LB because his on the field work is so good and he has no red flags athletically.  I think Edmunds has the higher potential with his age and he also ran very well for a guy his size.  My biggest concern with edmunds is his hula hoop tackling that he has a habit of doing.  Regardless of all these things I think the bengals will either reach for an OT or pickup a corner.  i personally would much rather see a corner than another bad tackle because then atleast we have some upside.
