Most of the talk during the first day of combine weigh-ins has centered on the offensive line. In speaking with people it seems the majority of teams have
Cam Robinson,
Garett Bolles,
Dan Feeney and
Dorian Johnson ranked on boards as four of the top five offensive linemen, regardless of position.
After that there’s a wide range of opinion.
Some teams have
Forrest Lamp grouped as a top five blocker, others place
Ryan Ramczyk with the top pack and a few shockingly have
Roderick Johnson in the handful of five. What surprised me was the number of teams that have Lamp as a top five lineman and how many didn’t include Ramczyk in the group.
I’m hearing more and more buzz Lamp could land in the first round after a good combine workout and end up somewhere in the late 20’s. I initially wrote about this on
February 21st with some skepticism but it seems to becoming a reality. The college left tackle is expected to run under 5-seconds in the forty and also put up close to 40-reps on the bench press.
One thing we definitely learned here in Indianapolis today; arm measurements from the Senior Bowl were way off. The official numbers here at the combine, in the early going anyway, have arm lengths anywhere from ¼ inch to more than a full inch longer than those who were measured in Mobile.
I spoke highly of
Davis Webb in the latest edition of
Monday Musings though I was critical of his throwing mechanics, specifically his footwork. Expect to see a much more refined Webb when he throws the football on Saturday as he’s been working with former NFL quarterback Jim Zorn since the Senior Bowl. I was informed footwork and passing mechanics were a priority.
