With the combine just getting underway I figured we'd discuss who's doing good and who's disappointing.

Falling
1. Malcom Kelly- His injury that could have him out 6 weeks could cost him the first round.
2. DeSean Jackson- Only being 5-9 and less then 170 pounds will really hurt him. Even if he runs a blazeing 40 time he still will be rated much lower.
3. Chris Johnson- Has a neck injury that has caused teams to take him off their boards.

Rising
1. Jake long- Lost weight and has longer arms then Joe thomas last year.
2.Brian Brohm- Has looked great during interviews and will throw at the combine

Longer arms? Is that a football thing? Seems like more of a basketball thing.

Its one of the most important aspects for OL b/c whoever gets their arms on each other first generaly wins the battle. Eric Winstons arm length is one of the reason he fell to the 3rd round.

I didn't count him in this, because it won't effect him much.

Winner: Dustin Keller. Won't be much of a blocking TE and he's not the biggest guy but as a H-back type or cover two seam splitter he's really helped himself at Indy with his show of hands, strength, speed and overall athletic ability.

Eric Winston's arm length has also been cited as a reason for why he won't be used as an LT.

I would say that the entire class of RB's are winners of this combine holy crap.

Mario Manningham and DeSean Jackson have not done themselves any favors this combine (Manningham 40 time, Jackson height/weight.)
