Xavier Adibi, Virginia Tech Height: 6-0. Weight: 235.
Projected 40 Time: 4.57.
Combine 40 Time: 4.69.
Benchx225: . Vertical .
Projected Round: 2.
It doesn’t seem like Xavier Adibi hurt or helped his stock at the combine, but remember, Ali Highsmith performed poorly.
Alvin Bowen, Iowa State Height: 6-2. Weight: 223.
Projected 40 Time: 4.52.
Combine 40 Time: 4.83.
Benchx225: 15. Vertical 34.
Projected Round: 5-6.
Alvin Bowen is small, and consequently will have problems getting drafted, but I liked what I saw out of him in some of the drills. Could be a late-round sleeper.
Ezra Butler, Nevada Height: 6-1. Weight: 245.
Projected 40 Time: 4.48.
Combine 40 Time: Did not run.
Benchx225: . Vertical .
Projected Round: 2-3.

Benchx225: 29. Vertical .

I thought that in a disappointing day for linebackers, Shawn Crable looked and ran pretty solid. Putting up 29 reps of 225 didn’t hurt him either.
Bruce Davis, UCLA Height: 6-2. Weight: 252.
Projected 40 Time: 4.67.
Combine 40 Time: 4.72.
Benchx225: 19. Vertical .

Bruce Davis managed to put on 15 pounds since the end of the season, and still was able to run well. He definitely helped his draft stock.

Projected 40 Time: 4.64.
Combine 40 Time: 4.72.
Benchx225: 29. Vertical .

JoLonn Dunbar, Boston College Height: 6-0. Weight: 233.
Projected 40 Time: 4.65.

Benchx225: . Vertical .

Combine 40 Time: 4.47.
Benchx225: 22. Vertical .
Projected Round: 4-5.
Wow, a 245-pound linebacker who ran a 4.47? You can bet scouts and coaches will be looking at game film of him.
Geno Hayes, Florida State Height: 6-1. Weight: 226.
Projected 40 Time: 4.53.
Combine 40 Time: 4.64.
Benchx225: 22. Vertical .

Combine 40 Time: 4.96.
Benchx225: . Vertical .
Projected Round: 2.
Yeesh. A 4.96 40? From a 230-pound linebacker? Ali Highsmith killed his draft stock.

Projected 40 Time: 4.62.
Combine 40 Time: 4.80.

Combine 40 Time: 4.64.

Projected 40 Time: 4.51.
Combine 40 Time: 4.70.
Benchx225: 21. Vertical .

Projected 40 Time: 4.41.
Combine 40 Time: 4.49.
Benchx225: . Vertical .
Projected Round: 4.
I thought Wesley Woodyard would play strong safety in the NFL, but apparently not. He put on about 12 pounds, so it definitely looks like he’ll be a linebacker. His 40 time went up just a bit, but a 4.49 is still really good.
