I'm one of the guys that kept saying Justin Jefferson slot guy 4.6 guy...He just made me eat crow with a 4.44.

Beat me to it.

How about Albert Okwuegbunam with 4.49 at 258 lbs?
Raw TE with elite traits who suffered some production due to bad QB play.
Somewhat good comparison is OJ Howard from a potential as a receiver perspective, but he's not as good of a blocker.

I think Bengals have to look for him at #33.  Not just because Bengals need someone for the likely departure of the JR experiment but also he and Burrow are like peanut butter and jelly.  I think it would relax Burrow some if he has Queen Jefferson or someone else here.

The weights on the LB’s looked good. Lots of guys in the 230-240 range. Hopefully we’ll see a lot of good 40 times, verts and broad jumps.

I thought Dalton Keene looked good. He ran a 4.71 but he showed smooth routes and the best hands of the group.

Queen or Charles would be nice too.

Claypool must be some kind of specimen. 6’4” 238, 4.38 and 19 reps.

At least I'm not the only one surprised by Jefferson's 40 time D.J. is all over it lol. The rest of his numbers are going to be more interesting.

Jacob Eason showing why he's a 3rd or 4th rounder. Everyone talks about his arm strength but 3 corner throws and one was long, one short, third inside. Inaccurate and no touch.

I wouldn't want a QB from this class unless it's Burrow or Tagovailoa.

I'm not saying take Herbert #1 or trade back for him but I can understand why teams are high on him. With Herbert you wish you could have seen more anticipation throws from him at Oregon.

I think there’s a few other intriguing ones that I would look at if I didn’t need a starter right away. Love, Fromm, Stanley, Montez.

Denzel Mims with a 4.38 can play Z or X. If they resign AJ luxury pick at 33 if they don't perfect pick at 33.

Edit: My favorite thing about Mims isn't speed or great hands etc. All of which he has...its that he beats up corners.

Would love to grab him.

Turns out KJ Hill is that 4.6 pure slot guy.  He's gonna fall big time.

Chase Claypool was another big surprise with that 4.42.  He's been all over the place, but has probably solidified himself as a 1st-early 2nd guy with that time.

Shenault will drop.  He now has speed concerns to go with the medicals.  He may fall to the 3rd or even farther.  

Ruggs solidified himself as a 1st rounder with that 4.27.

Eason is a top QB prospect as well.

I was watching highlights awhile ago and fell in love with a wr because he was just bullying DBs. They would be all over him. And he just goes about his business and they don’t even alter his route one bit. While the DB is falling all over getting handled. Man amongst boys stuff.

Can’t remember who it was. Starting to think it was Mims

I didn't realize until yesterday evening that Tee Higgins wasn't performing drills at the Combine.
He plans to run the 40 at his Pro Day.

Apparently his goal is to hit 4.4 at his Pro Day, but knows that most people expect him to be in the 4.5's or 4.6.
