How top draft prospects fared at NFL combine

The NFL combine is just a small sliver of the evaluation process. Evaluators often use it to confirm their scouting reports from the tape. Here's how some of the top players on my board fared in Indianapolis.


QUARTERBACKS

Carson Wentz, QB, North Dakota State

Wentz and Jared Goff separated themselves from the pack even more this week. After entering Indianapolis with the best tape of the QB crew, they both put on a clinic during the on-field drills. Wentz, in particular, showed quick feet in his drops and excellent timing and placement on his throws. He has been consistent throughout the postseason process, and there have been very few surprises from his tape. I was told that Wentz could test similar to Andrew Luck, but that didn't really come to fruition. As the chart below shows, Luck had a much stronger workout session at the combine, despite the two quarterbacks having very similar frames. With that said, Wentz's testing numbers all around were average for the position, so teams won't come away from the combine with concerns in that regard.
