MWil23 Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Goodness knows this team needs more explosive athletes. I'm all for it, especially in the mid to late rounds. As long as those measurables are being applied to the 1st/2nd round guys who are also good football players with good film, I love it. It shouldn't be the main factor above game tape though.

candyman93 Posted April 30, 2018 Author Share Posted April 30, 2018 I’m just still traumatized from the days of the Belicheck tree passing on athletes for slow old “character” guys. If we really wanted Marcus Davenport this year, I’m watching Montez Sweat of Mississippi State next year. He’s going to check off on all the boxes athletically and he’s a better version of Davenport.

Dawgpoun8017 Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 It’s definitely a good gauge of lower body explosiveness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LETSGOBROWNIES Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 I remember that article.. Yeah I’m sure Dorsey and the nerds meshed well here as both value the explosive numbers. This was pretty evident day 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MistaBohmbastic Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Aren't the cone drills better indicators of explosiveness? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think those tend to measure agility/flexibility/change of direction. I mean, all of them are definitely interconnected, but I've always heard the jumps described as the ones designed to measure explosiveness.

brownie man Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 I made a thread about this is the draft forum what are your favorite combine events Mine were broad and Vert explosivness is huge at least for me and it looks like to our FO if you have great explosivness you have a great chance on getting a jump on your opponent and sometimes that is half the battle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdrawkcab321 Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Well sashi has a fetish for the sparq system so it doesn’t surprise me we continued to draft the top athletes with some of his scouts still in place. Not that it’s a bad thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
