Combine Time

I actually read a quote from a nameless GM in the NFL that made some sense. He said they use the combine for interviews and such, but 90% of their draft board is already complete and won't change much based on what happens there. He said too many NFL scouts don't know what to do without a stopwatch in their hands and too many of them forget what they saw in watching hours and hours of football performance, junking it all for the vaunted "measurables". I wish I knew who it was. A man with some common sense.

One stopwatch item that was amazing I saw though: the Ravens brought in Donte Stallworth. They have this slow track that no one wants to run on. First day he runs 4.4, the fastest time they've ever gotten on their track, ever.
