[Dynasty] 2018 Draft Class (1 Viewer)

Tennessee RB John Kelly measured 5-foot-9 7/8 inches and 216 pounds at the NFL Scouting Combine.

Both height and weight marks should be considered wins for Kelly, as he entered the 2017 season listed at 5-foot-9, 205 pounds. Looking to make his mark in Indy, the Volunteers back also checked in with a hand measurement of 9 3/8 inches, an arm length of 31 3/8 inches and a total wingspan of 76 inches. We love his toughness and his prowess as a receiver, but his work in agility drills and -- more importantly -- the 40-yard dash will be critical to his stock in the coming days. Clean interviews would help matters, too, as he was cited for marijuana possession in October. We're not closing the door on a late Day 2 selection with a strong combine showing.

NC State RB Nyheim Hines measured 5-foot-8 3/8 inches and 198 pounds at the NFL Scouting Combine.

A little bit shorter than the 5-foot-9 at which the NC State listed him for the 2017 season, but the weight's on the money. Beyond Hines' height/weight, he checked in with a hand measurement of 8 7/8 inches, an arm length of 30 6/8 inches and an overall wingspan of 72 4/8 inches. If you're looking for a player with the potential to rise via the combine, Hines might well fit that bill. He's going to scald the 40-yard dash -- he's a track standout -- and should also ace receiving drills. Hines posted at least 20 catches in each of his three seasons at NC State. A strong combine would help his chances toward a late Day 2 pick. Both NFL Media's Lance Zierlein and Draft Analyst currently see him as a third- or fourth-round selection.

Iowa RB Akrum Wadley measured 5-foot-9 7/8 inches and 194 pounds at the NFL Scouting Combine.

The weight measurement is in line with Wadley's Iowa listing for 2017, but the Hawkeyes also listed him as standing at 5-foot-11. He landed considerably shorter than that mark in Indy on Wednesday. Wadley additionally came to town with hands of 8 2/8 inches, arms of 29 4/8 inches and a wingspan of 71 5/8 inches. All of these measurements speak to one of the biggest concerns with Wadley, that of his overall size. That being said, he's a shifty back with plus-athleticism who still should have an opportunity for a respectable combine showing when all is said and done. He's a borderline Day 2 prospect.

What’s with this dude? Everyone would always talk about him in bowl games but you look at his production and it’s kind of ####ty. I can’t gelp but pay attention now but paint me as super confused on how I should view him.

he should be playing LB, just like derrick henry too big for RB

 
NC State RB Nyheim Hines recorded a 40-yard dash time of 4.38 seconds at the NFL Scouting Combine.

Hines (5'8/198) was expected to be in the running for the fastest 40 time for any player at his position -- he's got a track background -- and he did not disappoint, leading all running backs with his 4.38-second sprint. Hines has also turned in jumps of 35.5 inches (vertical) and 119 inches (broad) during his Friday work. All of this fine work could potentially lock him in for a Day 2 selection.

NFL Combine results: Live updates as RBs do the bench press, run the 40-yard dash, and other workouts

40-yard dash

Who helped themselves:

Penn State’s Saquon Barkley continued to impress with an unofficial 4.41 in his first run of the 40-yard dash. He ran an unofficial 4.42 in his second run, and his official time would be a 4.40 flat.

Georgia’s Nick Chubb ran an unofficial 4.53, a solid time to go along with his 29 bench press reps, in which he scored the same as Barkley. He ran an unofficial 4.58 on his second run, and officially had a 4.52, along with Alabama’s Bo Scarbrough.

Derrius Guice ran an official 4.49, further helping his stock in the draft. He needed it after posting just 15 reps on the bench press Thursday.

NC State’s Nyheim Hines ran an unofficial 4.39, on his first run, just slightly better than that of Barkley. His official time would come out to be 4.38. He’s not one of the bigger names in this running back class, but having one of the best 40 times is one of the best things a back can do for his stock.

Kalen Ballage of Arizona State, and Rashaad Penny of San Diego State both had the third fastest times with 4.46.

Northwestern’s Justin Jackson ran a 4.50 and a 4.53 unofficially. Mayock had him a bit slower than that, and it should serve him well going into the draft.

Who didn’t help themselves:

USC’s Ronald Jones appeared to pull up during the middle of his 40-yard dash, and ran an unofficial 4.66. NFL Network’s Kim Jones reports that he injured his right hamstring, and it would later be reported by Rich Eisen that he was done for the day. Depending on what happens, he could make up for it at USC’s pro day on March 21.

Oklahoma’s Dimitri Flowers ran an unofficial 4.83, which was behind offensive lineman Brian O’Neill’s 4.80 from Pitt. It was the second worst time next to Western Michigan’s Donnie Ernsberger, who ran an unofficial 4.84.

Auburn’s Kamryn Pettway ran an unofficial 4.75 on his first run, and a 4.85 on his second run. He already wasn’t one of the more highly-regarded prospects at the position, and did himself no favors with his respective times.

You can view all of the results here.

Vertical jump

Who helped themselves:

Saquon Barkley continued his good Combine performance with a 41” vertical jump. The historical average is 35.1”, and his 41” is two shy of the running back record since 2006.

Alabama’s Bo Scarbrough had a 40” vertical jump, showing off his explosiveness in his lower body after a less than impressive bench press performance.

Georgia’s Nick Chubb, who went rep for rep with Barkley on the bench press, had a 38.5” vertical. It’s obviously not as good, but it’s still above average, and good for somebody his size.

Who didn’t help themselves:

Western Michigan’s Jarvion Franklin rough afternoon continues with a 30” vertical. He was playing behind the eight ball coming in, and things haven’t gotten better for him.

Arizona State’s Demario Richard had the lowest vertical at 29.5”, and wasn’t particularly strong in any of the other events for measuring.

Broad jump

Who helped themselves:

Alabama’s Bo Scarbrough appeared to set a new running back high since 2006 in the event with an 11’4 jump, though it came in officially at 10’9”:

Bo Scarbrough broad jump of 11’4

Georgia’s Nick Chubb posted a 10’8” broad jump, nearly a foot better than the historical position average of 9’11”. He’s already performed well at the Combine, and doing well on the board jump only further shows his lower body strength.

Kerryon Johnson of Auburn leaped 10’6” on his broad jump, one of the better numbers of the group. It was a nice complement to his 40” vertical.

Who didn’t help themselves:

Dimitri Flowers of Oklahoma, Darrell Williams of LSU, and Jarvion Franklin of Western Michigan both posted just 9’1” on the broad jump, well below the historical average for the position.

You can view all of the results here.

Bench Press

The first test the running backs will face is the bench press, with the on-field drills coming Friday.

Who helped themselves:

Barkley, who is expected to be the best running back out of the 2018 NFL Draft, put up a spectacular 29 reps of 225.

Nick Chubb followed up Barkley with 29 reps of his own. It’s a good showing for both backs, with most running backs falling in the teens last year, with some low-20s, and Samaje Perine’s 30.

NFL Research✔@NFLResearch

Saquon Barkley and Nick Chubb led all RBs with 29 bench press reps at the 2018 Combine.

Barkley and Chubb had more reps than all but 5 of the 36 offensive linemen to bench press at the Combine this year.@PennStateFball @FootballUGA

Chubbs’ teammate Sony Michel put up 22 reps, one of the better numbers this year. While not as impressive as Barkley and Chubb, it should help his stock.

Who didn’t help themselves:

USC’s Ronald Jones is waiting until his pro day at the school to do his bench press. It doesn’t help or hurt him, but it’s noteworthy as one of the better backs in the class.

LSU’s Derrius Guice, who is expected to be one of the better backs in the class, put up just 15 reps, nearly half of Chubb and Barkley’s total. The number is just below average, though his strength lies in his lower body.

Kerryon Johnson of Auburn put up 11 reps, likely hurting his stock a bit as a middle of the pack prospect among the talented running back class.

Alabama’s bruising back Bo Scarbrough managed 14 reps, which seems low considering his physical running style.

Here’s what’s coming up on Friday:

3 cone drill

Shuttle run
