Which Combine Figures are most important

[SissyBoyFloyd]

I know it depends a lot on position, but of the speed tests, which show you the most about a players playing ability? And which ones will mean most to the Cardinals in evaluating players they would consider? Which ones are most misleading or meaningless?

I figured that honesty was the best policy. No?

Really depends on the position.

Generally speaking. I think bench is overrated. When Guards are repping DT's it might be more appropriate. I'd rather see a max strength/power test here than bench press from the stone ages. I tackle sled hooked up to measure force would be good.

Most scouts love the cone drill for Edges. Of course straight line speed is a big factor for CBs & WRs. OLs & DLs usually need to lift well. QBs throwing the tree.

10 yard split has to be in the top 3 metrics

I was going to say, isn’t three-cone usually a good predictor of success when all else is equal?

Mostly looked at for linemen.

Typically if an Edge is over 7.00 people take them off the board.
