Just curious. What’s the value to the “Combine” invite this year, since they’re utilizing Senior Days anyway?
Perhaps I misunderstood this year’s process.
I think it was mainly the recognition aspect.
“This is the list of people who would be invited to the combine if one were being held.” Which is what they gave Soehner. About 330 players I believe, meaning these are the players they see likely having a good chance to being drafted.
Not to say there’s not several guys every year who get drafted in spite of not getting the invite.
I believe the way it works to get a combine invite is if 20 or so teams (not sure of the exact number) have a draftable grade on a player then they get an invitation. Just showing a higher likelihood that guy will end up being drafted. Other than that this year I don’t think it does have any other meaning or purpose.
I think anybody who gets 25 sacks in power 5 in their college career should be "draftable". Sure he's 6-2 260lb which isn't a monstrous frame but there are DEs that big (or smaller) in the league. Elvis Dumervil, Shaq Barrett, even von miller isn't a big DE for DE standards.
What is unique about Jaquan to me.....is he is still very stiff against the run, which is an underrated part of the DE skillset.
