Klein and Knott draft

**jbindm** · 02-23-2013, 11:27 AM

If they're both projected as late round picks, then they're almost better off going undrafted. That way they can choose which team to sign with. Some NFL teams have better reputations than others when it comes to opportunities for UFA's.

I believe I read that he's planning on skipping the lifts, until later.

Their 40 time will make or break them in the draft. They'll both get picked up regardless of the draft. I'd guess Klien is more likely to get picked but it wont be in rounds 1-4.

Looks like Jake isnt going to work out at the combine after all. That is likely why his stock is slipping.

Klein put up 20 reps of 225 on the bench press today.

I'd be suprised if both or even one went undrafted.

How does that compare to the other LBs?

**CarolinaCy** · 02-24-2013, 08:48 PM

15 LBs put up 21 or more reps, with a high of 36. 3 biggest names (Te'o, Jones, Brown) have not lifted yet. Not sure if they are sitting out or will be going tomorrow.

5 WR put up 20 or more reps too. Not a good showing for AJ.

The stats show that its better to go undrafted than go in the 6th or 7th rounds. So I'm hoping for 5th or better or to let them go the free agent route and select their team based on needs.

Unless each has an amazing pro day at ISU neither will get drafted.

Yikes, someone has a case of the Mondays! Just kidding, you might end up being right. I think Klein will get drafted, and Jake probably not.

I know Te'o is skipping the bench press due to a stinger he's still recovering from. Jones might also have decided to skip the bench press due to injury.

So in any other year the opinion is bench is one of the most overvalued metrics at the combine, but this year when our two stud LBs don't put up great bench numbers, suddenly neither is getting drafted?

Have to hand it to us fans - we have overreaction down to a science.
