Combine tidbits - Day 1
By Greg A. Bedard of the Journal Sentinel

Feb. 25, 2010 9:04 a.m. |(4) Comments

Indianapolis - If you're not doing so already, you should be following the Twitter feed of former NFL scout Daniel Jeremiah (@movethesticks). He's already posting some of the heights and weights from this morning's weigh-ins.

Among the notables in the offensive line and tight ends groups:

* Maryland OT Bruce Campbell, one of the players most mentioned in the Packers' No. 23 slot, measured in Bruce Campbell 6063 (6 feet, 6 inches and 3/8ths), 314 lbs. Arm length of 36 1/4. "That's extremely long!" as Jeremiah pointed out. He was also told Campbell looked the most impressive when players were stripped down to their shorts.
* If the tape matches Campbell's physical skills, he might not last to the Packers at 23. Then again, Michael Oher went underdrafted at 23 last year.
* Rutgers OT Anthony Davis: 6050, 323 lbs, arm length 34.
* Oklahoma OT Trent Williams: 6045, 315 lbs. 34 1/4 arms.
* USC OT Charles Brown: 6053, 303 lbs, 35 1/4 arms. "Very crucial that he weighed in over 300 lbs. I was told it was good weight."
* Oklahoma St OT Russell Okung: 6052, 307 lbs, 36 arms.
* Iowa OT Bryan Bulaga: 6053, 33 1/4 arms.

Looks like Bulaga got the short end of the arms.
That seems to be the knock on Lang.

I say draft the smallest, quickest, most athletic tackle available so he fits the ZBS.
Har de Har har har!

Indianapolis - Rutgers left tackle Anthony Davis (6050, 323 lbs, 34 arms) goes off the board early in most mock drafts even though his game tape doesn't really matchup.

One of his problems has been a lack of consistency, something Davis readily admits:

"Thats something I need to work on as far as consistency is concerned," he said. "I will get better at that doing what Im doing now, keep focusing on the little things and listening to my coaches."

In his podium session -- which teams do pay attention to -- Davis came across as quiet, passive and not very confident. And that's kind of how he plays, although at times he has shown a mean streak.

Probably didn't help Davis when he said that South Florida DE George Selvie was the best pass rusher he's played against. Two NFL scouts told me Selvie isn't a player.

The potential is there for Davis - he has all the left tackle tools - but the question teams will have to answer is will he ever fulfill that potential.

What kind of player will a team get in Davis?

"A hard worker, somebody who loves to play the game and whos attitude on and off the field will be contagious to his teammates," Davis said.

Iupati says holding rap "isn't me"
By Greg A. Bedard of the Journal Sentinel

Feb. 25, 2010 1:37 p.m. |(2) Comments

Indianapolis - One of the players that could be available for the Packers at No. 23 is Idaho guard Mike Iupati. He is clearly the best guard of this crop but given his size (6-05.2, 331, 35-inch arms) and quick feet, some think he can play tackle.

But he took a bit of a hit at the Senior Bowl when Iupati showed a bad habit of holding and grabbing opponents.

Iupati said Thursday he had an off day.

"Yes, I realized that in the Senior game and that's not me. I don't know why I did that but I usually have a strong punch. I come off the ball very physical and sometimes too aggressive but I guess it was pass blocking that I kind of changed my game because I didn't want to get beat so I didn't just want try to attack them and them use my body commitment and swimming me to make me look real bad. But I do strike. I have a physical punch."

In his defense, most of his problems came when he played right guard (almost all of his experience is at left guard). Iupati thinks he can play tackle.

"I'm very quick setting off my left side as a left tackle, but just a little time with it, I know it would be fine. Just gotta give me time," he said.
