The 2007 NFL scouting combine officially kicks off today, but the workout portions do not begin until Friday. The following is a breakdown of the workout dates for each unit at this year's combine:

Friday, February 23: Kickers, punters and long snappers.
Saturday, February 24: Offensive linemen and tight ends.
Sunday, February 25: Quarterbacks, running backs and wide receivers.
Monday, February 27: Defensive linemen and linebackers.
Tuesday, February 28: Defensive backs.


Prospects are broken up into 12 groups according to position. Each group partakes in the following four-day schedule:


Day 1: Registration, X-rays, Cybex testing, orientation and individual team interviews.
Day 2: Urinalysis, height/weight/arm-length/hand-span, Wonderlic test, bench press (max reps at 225 pounds), physical examination, taped video interviews and individual team interviews.
Day 3: NFLPA meeting, psychological testing and individual team interviews.
Day 4: Still photograph, 40-yard dash, agility drills and individual position drills.


Approximately 10 percent of players selected in each draft are not invited to the combine. Here's a look at the top 10 prospects who got snubbed this year:


1. CB John Talley, Duke.
2. ILB Zach Diles, Kansas State.
3. TE Matt Herian, Nebraska.
4. C Darnell Stapleton, Rutgers.
5. DT Brent Curvey, Iowa State.
6. ILB Kevin McLee, West Virginia.
7. G Kurt Quarterman, Louisville.
8. QB Lester Ricard, Tulane.
9. WR Brandon Myles, West Virginia.
10. QB Matt Moore, Oregon State.


Below is a breakdown -- ranked by college position -- of the 326 players invited to the scouting combine. A week from now, I will re-rank each of these positions to provide an example of the combine's affect on the draft process.

Thanks for the post. CPs to you when I recharge.

Awesome to see Samson Satele from Hawaii as 2nd highest Center and Ikaika Alama-Francis pretty high up too.

But sad to see Nasti Nate Ilaoa, Leonard Peters, Dane Uperesa, and Tala Esera so low :sad:

Man is Brandon Jackson stock rising. I was hoping for him to fall to the Broncos in the third. However, pending the combine, it looks like he may be picked up in the second. :sad:

Nice to have this listing. Thanks. It will be interesting to see what changes are made after the Combine.....

Weddle a strong safety out of Utah is not even listed. It makes me wonder how much thought actully went into this listing.

they listed him as a corner. . . . ;)

Since Weddle plays against Wyoming each year I got to watch five or six of his games over the last two years. I did not realize that I was looking at an NFL calibre corner. :jawdrop: His 40 yard dash time and shuttle will be a good indicator of whether I am developing talent blindness.

I repeat my statement. I wonder how much thought goes into these things. :halo:

you have to wonder sometimes, don't you?


while we're on the subject, what do you think of weddle?


i know he's gotten a lot of praise for his instincts and versatility-- his stock definitely seems to be on the rise. . . .

Dean

I would take him as a combination strong/free safety. I am not sure of his measurables (I think that Wendling out of Wyoming as well as some of the projected #1s will score higher at the combine) but Weddle makes plays. He is a football player.

I think he's a great kid, and under rated. He will be a steal if he goes past round three. For some reason I just feel like he's already a bronco :goofy:
