3/10/11: J.J. Watt didn’t run the 40 at his Pro Day, but had a terrific workout. The Chargers reportedly paid very close attention to Watt during the drills. Watt will probably be gone by No. 18, so San Diego would have to trade up.

3/10/11: Jimmy Smith didn’t run the 40 at Colorado’s Pro Day, but improved upon his vertical (37 inches; 36 at the Combine). However, Smith’s issue isn’t talent; he has character concerns great enough to keep the Lions away at No. 13.

Projected 40 Time: 4.88.
Combine 40 Time: 4.97.

3/10/11: Nate Solder looked great in the drills during his Pro Day, but there’s some concern about his weight. Solder was 319 at the Combine, but apparently had trouble keeping that weight on, as he lost 12 pounds in less than two weeks.

3/10/11: Either someone’s measuring sucks, or Courtney Smith is using some of Al Davis’ dark magic. Smith was 6-2 at the Senior Bowl, but 6-4 at his Pro Day. How do you grow two inches in a month and a half?
