Britton, Oher, Monroe and Jason Smith all check in at damn near the same size, LOL.

Herman 'House' Johnson trimmed off 25 pounds...

Im figuring he took a big shit this morning.

I've seen alot of people mention Smith being 'short' for a LT at 6'4, but Oher also is 6'4 and Monroe is 6'5.

Yep.

Matt Bowen has a combine blog about his experiences at the combine, and stated how he was listed in the college media guides as 6-3 215, and checked in at the combine at 6-1 200 pounds.

LOL

That's cuz at the combine they weigh you and measure you in your drawers, not in full gear (including helmet).

Yeah that must be it.

Cleats and a Helmet add a lot more than an inch or two.

Its because media guides EXAGGERATE.

 

[massraider]

I have yet to reach the height and weight I was listed at in high school.

Shawn "I used to be a WR" Nelson checked in a 6-5 240...Very nice.

I think he's gonna Vernon Davis the combine this weekend.

Um, no they don't. They add about 2-3 inches combined. Check it out.

I know they exaggerate. My explanation was meant to be silly, but it is entirely possible too.

Niice!

Are those genuine and if they are did the scales get stuck at 309 at one point?

It is all about wingspan, and that chart doesn't give it. If Smith has short arms it could hurt his stock as a LT, not that I like him for the Raiders anyway.

Crabtree supposedly measured in at only 6'1, 210 lbs.... Is that correct?

I've seen 6-1.5 and 215, but thats pretty damn close, either way.

Maclin was 6 feet 195.

 

[Rupert]

Solid size for Crabtree and Maclin.

 

[BigTron]

Im glad Maclin was 6 foot. Im suprised Crabtree wasnt his listed 6'3. Thats interesting and further closes the gap between the 2.

 

[Madturk]

Charlie Casserly's wig weighed in at a whopping 5 lbs. Man what the fugg crawled up his noggin and died?

Oher with 21.

James Casey and Travis Beckum with 28.

Jason Watkins 18 and Jason Smith 33.

 

[BigTron]

Oher with 21.

James Casey and Travis Beckum with 28.

Jason Watkins 18 and Jason Smith 33.

J.Smith > Oher/A.Smith after today.

1. E.Monroe
2. J.Smith
3. A.Smith/Oher

Im close to bumping up Smith because thats damn impressive for a guy who is a "pass blocker." Has anyone heard Jason Smith interview. He is very likable and sounds as mean and nasty as you'd want from OL.

Jamon Meridith is looking like a fallback Rnd 2 RT/RG.
