The on-field testing doesn't begin until tomorrow morning, but already some results coming in from the weigh-in and bench press
For nostalgia's sake, Pearce Slater measured in at 6' 6 1/2" and 333 lbs with 35 1/4" long arms and only did 17 reps on the bench...
Going to be a lot of storylines over the next couple of days, but I am really curious to see what the perception about QBs is after this event. Some were claiming a few months ago it would be a weak QB draft...but then at the senior bowl scouts were saying it was one of the deepest groups of QBs they have had at the senior bowl. There are going to be some guys with big time cannons at the combine this year, so I think that will get blown out of proportions some. My opinion is there is some solid QBs in this draft, but also a lot of smoke and mirrors. I don't think there is a single QB you want starting for your team next season, but several guys can be groomed into good QBs. It will be critical for a guy like Paxton Lynch to end up on a team that can coach him up. I think a guy that won't get a lot of attention this week because he doesn't have the arm of a Cardale Jones/Carson Wentz/etc but has a chance to really surprise some people if Jeff Driskel...
