The Scouting Combine has its flaws for evaluating talent. They didn't invite everyone who will probably get drafted. There are many stars in the league who never went there or got drafted. It shows how inexact the entire process can be.
Today, I was watching the defensive back go through their tests. Deion Sanders provided some outstanding commentary. I agree with his statement about too many players are training for the activities of the Combine and not real-game situations.
Coach Belichick has often made statements mocking the event. He said it doesn't matter how high a player can jump of how many jumping jacks they can do. It doesn't measure potential success in the NFL.
I think the personnel people in the league are too hung up on some of the measurements generated over these several days. It often results in drafting players too high or not at all.
