    Just watched him run on NFLN and he clocked in at 4.47 and 4.45. This dude is fast. I think he might have just made himself a first rounder.

    Yeah, that was very impressive. Between his speed, catching ability and history of Miami TEs' recent success in the NFL, I wouldn't be surprise if he got into the Top 20 (Cincinnati maybe). What were his bench press and vertical leap stats?

    And Zach Miller's 4.84/4.83 display will get him deep into the 2nd round at least.

    we've found this year's Vernon Davis, he may not be drafted as high, but he just made himself a top 35 pick with that one.

    They didn't show his vertical and bench press on the air.

    He was probably already around there. Now he's EASILY a first round pick IMO. I just hope its not OUR 1st round pick.

    QBs, RBs, and WR aren't until tomorrow, but, to the best of my knowledge, he is supposed to participate.

    Today was just OLs and TEs. Joe Thomas (who was already projected number 2 overall by a lot of mockers) participated in every OL drill and did really well. Helped himself a lot (if that's possible).

    Beaaaast.

    WTF happened to Zach Miller? Everyone had him ahead of Olsen most of this season.

    Man...thats why you never, ever, ever, downplay a prospect from the U. They always come back to bite you in the ass.

    true, no matter how they were in college, if they are from the U, they have a chance to be beastly in the NFL

    He ran a 4.87. That's what happened to him.

    Amazing how much of a difference there is in .4 seconds between Olsen's time and Miller's...

    The TE from Rutgers (Harris?) also ran an unimpressive 4.8.

    clark harris, the guy has solid hands, and by solid, I mean stone, he can't catch for his life, he dropped more key passes than Darrell Jackson in Seattle

    If we sign Adalius, and get a DE and RB with our first 2 picks, and he is there at 57, (which after this 40 yard dash, he won't be) then we shouldn't pass

    A pass catching TE with blazing speed for the Jets. Oh God, anything but that.

    You guys have to be kidding me. If we are lucky enough to get Olsen now why would we pass him up?

    If we fill up the DE, RB, and CB spot in FA, then hell yeah, take Greg Olsen, otherwise, not in the first round
