I don't really understand why a DL's 40 time matters. Shouldn't there agility/shorter sprint drills be the thing that matters a little more.
They really don't matter too much.

What I like about elliot is the x factor of our oline. McFadden had a good year, but you put an elite back behind that line and our offense could take off. If we are gonna reject the qbs we need to scare defenses off Romo as much as possible with a lethal run and screen game.
But we are still gonna need lots of help on D. Fingers crossed Scandrick comes back 100% cause that will be1 impact player we didn't have last year.
Calling him an elite back before he's played a single down is premature. Plenty of great college backs never did well in the NFL.

He's elite in college, not in the NFL. If he hasn't played a down, he is called a "prospect". When he becomes a top tier NFL back after multiple great seasons, then he's "elite". See how this works?

We are talking draft/combine... You don't think Elliott is the elite back of this combine?

This is why I don't like comparing players. Who knows, with time, it's certainly possible that Bosa could be like Watt.

I don't think Nkemdiche solidified himself at all much less as the best overall DT. He admitted to the red flag issues and his tape still shows he takes plays off. Too deep a DT class to take him high.

Based purely on talent, you dont think he's the best?
And Ive been really high on Robinson, but 24 reps? I know bench press reps doesnt tell much, but a big run stuffing 1tech has to put up more than 24 reps.

Possible but unlikely; Watts the elite of the elite. Point was, though, that drawing conclusions on being able to get to the QB from the guys 40 is faulty IMO.

How did he handle it well? Threw Tunsil under the bus and tried to claim he was just drinking.

I didn't see anything about how he handled himself in that link. Did I miss it?

I assumed you meant his character issues. The link doesn't show anything about him handling it well (or poorly)

You know, the watt talk is interesting.
Really no one saw watt becoming this good. Bob sturm who is from Wisconsin and follows them closely is on record as saying he did not see watt becoming what he has.
He's in a HOF track so I think the bosa comparisons are pretty much useless.
