2022 NFL Combine Blog – Final Thoughts

It's good to be back - The 2022 NFL Combine has arrived!

We'll have boots on the ground in Indy this week to cover the Combine once again, as we did in 2020. As we all remember, 2021 was scrapped due to Covid and we're only now returning to some level of normalcy. Between the information we get from our individuals in Indy and those covering the official news, measurements and more, we'll keep you up to date with everything you need to know this week.  As with previous years, I'll keep everything right here on this blog with new updates appearing at the top with older updates below.

Things really get moving on Thursday as the quarterbacks, wide receivers and tight ends take the field. On Friday, running backs are in the spotlight. For you IDP players, Saturday and Sunday will wrap up the activities with defensive linemen, linebackers and, finally, defensive backs.

And, as you'd fully expect, I certainly have thoughts. So, let's kick this off!

March 5 - Saturday, 9:00 AM - Wrap Up

That basically wraps up the Combine blog. IDP players may still have interest in those players going today but I have yet to find a correlation between Combine performance and NFL impact. So much of the IDP game is about fit and scheme and everything you need to know about the IDPs is available on tape.  I have put time into trying to find an edge based on Combine times/performance, but it's just not there. Furthermore, with the different schemes and rotations in place, even higher rated players going to a lesser scheme can be problematic. It's for this reason I tend to allow others to draft IDP in rookie drafts ahead of me. I'll rarely take a rookie in the first three rounds of a rookie draft. The last time I made an exception was the Aaron Curry and he burned me.
