2014 NFL Draft: Combine snubs at each position

Below are the top Combine snubs at each position, as well as a surprise invitee:

Quarterback – Brett Smith, Wyoming
One of the 13 underclassmen who declared early and didn't receive a Combine invite, Smith doesn't have elite physical tools, but he's an athletic, confident and decisive passer who set numerous school and conference records in college. He needs to develop his decision-making, but is tough, gutsy and plays with a chip on his shoulder. Smith arrived at Wyoming as an underrated recruit and leaves Wyoming as an underrated NFL prospect.

OTHER QB SNUBS: Kenny Guiton (Ohio State), Tommy Rees (Notre Dame), James Franklin (Missouri)

PLEASANTLY SURPRISED QB INVITEE: Dustin Vaughan, West Texas A&M

Running Back – Zach Bauman, North Arizona
Undersized at 5-7 and 196 pounds, Bauman was one of only nine players in FCS history to rush for 1,000+ yards four times, earning All-Big Sky honors each season. He doesn't look like much and lacks a power element, but is quick-footed to make explosive jump cuts and pick his way through the defense. Bauman runs low to the ground with a light lower body to make fast, decisive moves and finish runs.

OTHER RB SNUBS: Brendan Bigelow (California), Darrin Reaves (UAB), Rajion Neal (Tennessee)

PLEASANTLY SURPRISED RB INVITEE: Damian Williams, Oklahoma

Wide Receiver – Chandler Jones, San Jose State
After Noel Grigsby went down with an injury, Jones stepped up as the clear-cut No. 1 target for David Fales and the San Jose State offense, finishing the 2013 season with 79 catches for 1,356 yards and 15 receiving scores. He is undersized at 5-9 and 180 pounds, but creates separation with his foot quickness and natural burst and does a nice job finishing catches and creating after the catch.

OTHER WR SNUBS: Alex Amidon (Boston College), Eric Ward (Texas Tech), Erik Lora (Eastern Illinois)

PLEASANTLY SURPRISED WR INVITEE: Philly Brown, Ohio State

Tight End/Fullback – Jay Prosch, Auburn
An athletic, smash-mouth blocker, Prosch had just five touches as a senior and zero carries, but he was still a big part of the Tigers offense, helping to create run lanes as a lead blocker. He has an intriguing blend of size, speed, and strength and showed at the Senior Bowl that he has the versatility to help out with the ball in his hands or running over defenders as a blocker.

OTHER TE/FB SNUBS: Gabe Holmes (Purdue), Ted Bolser (Indiana), Kaneakua Friel (BYU)

PLEASANTLY SURPRISED TE/FB INVITEE: Colt Lyerla, Oregon

Offensive Line – Kevin Danser, Stanford
Danser, who started all 14 games at right guard each of the last two seasons, needs to learn patience, often overextending himself, but he works hard to finish. He flashes a killer instinct and enjoys mauling defenders in the run game with his physical, competitive nature. Danser has the temperament for the NFL, but needs time to adjust to the speed of the next level and improve his discipline.

OTHER OL SNUBS: Laurent Duvernay-Tardif (McGill), Matt Hall (Belhaven), Danny Kistler (Montana)

PLEASANTLY SURPRISED OL INVITEE: Corey Linsley, Ohio State

Defensive End – Chaz Sutton, South Carolina
Rushing off the edge opposite Jadeveon Clowney, Sutton totaled the same number of sacks (three) in 2013 as the future 1st rounder. He needs to play more controlled and finish, but he has some intriguing tools to stop the run and disrupt the pocket – he just struggles to do it consistently.

OTHER DE SNUBS: Walker May (Vanderbilt), Ben Gardner (Stanford), Denico Autry (Mississippi State)

PLEASANTLY SURPRISED DE INVITEE: Kasim Edebali, Boston College

Defensive Tackle – Bruce Gaston, Purdue
After a notable junior season playing next to Kawann Short, Gaston had a ho-hum senior season as he struggled to adjust to Purdue's new 3-4 defensive scheme. He looks the part and has good snap quickness to attack gaps and keep his hips low to anchor at the point of attack. Gaston had a positive week at the East-West Shrine game and is considered draftable.

OTHER DT SNUBS: Calvin Barnett (Oklahoma State), Wade Keliikipi (Oregon), Beau Allen)

PLEASANTLY SURPRISED DT INVITEE: Mike Pennel, Colorado State – Pueblo

Linebacker – Morgan Breslin, USC
A junior college transfer last year, Breslin burst onto the scene with a team-best 13.0 sacks for the Trojans in 2012. However, he battled injuries this past season as a senior, finishing with just 4.5 sacks in five games. Breslin underwent hip surgery in November and might be trying to receive a medical hardship waiver to play in 2014 for the Trojans.

OTHER LB SNUBS: DeDe Lattimore, Shaquil Barrett, Eddie Lackey

PLEASANTLY SURPRISED LB INVITEE: Jordan Tripp, Montana

Cornerback – Shaquille Richardson, Arizona
A tall, long-armed defensive back, Richardson has an intriguing mix of size and speed, which is a very popular combination right now in the NFL. He has enough hip fluidity and foot quickness to play in space and play close to the line of scrimmage in press, but he needs to play with more consistency in coverage and vs. the run. Richardson had a positive week at the East-West Shrine practices and is a surprise omission from the Combine list.

OTHER CB SNUBS: Walt Aikens (Liberty), Carrington Byndom (Texas), Marcus Williams (North Dakota State)

PLEASANTLY SURPRISED CB INVITEE: Dexter McDougle, Maryland

Safety – Denicos Allen, Michigan State
A key cog to the Spartan defense that won the Big Ten and Rose Bowl this past season, Allen played mostly linebacker at Michigan State but projects to more of a hybrid safety role at the next level. His “tweener” skill-set creates some concern, but he has the mental make-up and tenacity to play the run and drop in space.

OTHER S SNUBS: Sean Parker (Washington), Alden Darby (Arizona State), Hakeem Smith (Louisville)

PLEASANTLY SURPRISED INVITEE: Nat Berhe, San Diego State

Thank god it's almost here. This board needs new things to argue about. :cowboy1:

I was hoping Lyeria wouldn't get invited and would fall through the cracks. That way we could pick him up as a free agent. He's going to impress someone enough to draft him even with his history.
 
i cant wait till manziel upstages blake freaking bortles and that cross dressing bridgewater.

watch manziel prove the haters wrong.

just watch.
 
Bruce Gaston, Morgan Breslin, DeDe Lattimore, Shaquil Barrett, Walt Aikens (Liberty) left out. Hopefully they'll be adjusted into the UO.

Nothing anyone does at the combine will "prove" anything. That goes for any player, any position.

Folks that hate "x" now are still going to hate "x" after.
 
If prosch goes udfa, he's a guy I'd like to pick up.

This is going to be a great off season to pick up young talent.

Can't believe the combine is here so soon.
 
Regional combine gives three NFL long shots their big chance
By Lance Zierlein - Special to NFL.com

Before Saturday's regional combine in Houston, I spent hours combing through stories and videos in an attempt to unearth a diamond in the rough.

Regional combines are full of long shots. They are open to all players who are eligible for the 2014 NFL Draft but were not invited to the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, as well as players eligible for previous drafts who have never signed an NFL contract and players who have played professionally in some capacity but have been out of action for a period of time.

Here are three players I tracked closely Saturday morning...
Click to expand...
 
The 2014 NFL Regional Schedule follows:
Code: 
Date	Location	Facility
February 8-9*	Houston	Methodist Training Center
February 15-16*	New York/New Jersey	Atlantic Health Jets Training Facility
February 22	Los Angeles	Orange Coast College-Lebard Stadium
March 1	        Tampa Bay	Tampa Bay Buccaneers Training Facility
March 8-9	Atlanta	Atlanta Falcons Training Facility
March 15	Chicago	Halas Hall at Conway Park
March 22	Miami	Doctors Hospital Training Facility
March 22-23*	Seattle	Virginia Mason Athletic Center
March 29	Indianapolis	Indian Farm Bureau Football Center
March 29-30	Baltimore	Under Armour Performance Center
 
April 12-13	Detroit (SRC-invite only)	Ford Field

*Kickers and Punters Combine (February 9, 16; March 23)

Players must qualify under NFL eligibility rules to be accepted. Players who are eligible for the 2014 Draft as Underclassmen, or players that are under contract to another professional football League are not permitted to attend NFL Regional Combines.

NFL Regional Combines are not fantasy camps. Applicants must meet NFL eligibility rules and be able to perform at a high skill level. The NFL reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to reject any applicant it determines to be unqualified or unfit to compete.

Is Vaughan the kid from West A&M? I was under the impression that he was just a camp arm like Yates was at the combine.
Click to expand...

I don't think you watched the video.

He's nobody special, just a guy with a good personality. He won't get drafted and will be thankful to be a practice squad guy.

The video is just him being awesome and showing off his "skills".
 
Regional Combine: Several pro prospects worthy of attention

By Lance Zierlein Special to NFL.com
"Eat! Go get some money! Eat!"

That refrain (and numerous variations) were heard during drills throughout Saturday's Regional Combine in Houston as participants in each position group encouraged other participants who were there chasing their dreams of playing in the NFL.

Regional Combines are open to all players who are eligible for the 2014 NFL Draft but were not invited to the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, as well as players eligible for previous drafts who have never signed an NFL contract and players who have played professionally in some capacity but have been out of action for a period of time.

Here are noteworthy players and performances from Saturday...

Did anyone report on the regional combine held here this past weekend??

I know it's a longshot but it happens...
Link
Earlier this year, NFL clubs signed players from all nine 2013 regional combines, and 29 teams currently have at least one regional combine participant on the roster. There currently are 118 players on rosters with regional combine experience.

Any word on walk-ons.

Oh and move this to the College/mock draft area if you guys think it fits better there.
 
Albert Breer ‏@AlbertBreer
To repeat what I said post-Mobile: Handful of decision-makers told me there could be a dozen players in this draft better than ANYONE in 2013
Click to expand...
 
Casey Pachall did not receive an invitation.

The case for: His sophomore season in 2011, playing in the Mountain West Conference, was nothing short of spectacular with 25 touchdowns, seven interceptions and nearly 3,000 yards. ... Pachall stands 6-foot-5 and 230 pounds, same as LSU quarterback Zach Mettenberger, who is often described as having "prototypical" NFL size for the position. ... By the end of the 2012 season, he was the NCAA's No. 1-rated active quarterback in pass efficiency. In short, Pachall's talent isn't lacking.

The case against: In 2012, he left the team after four games, following a DWI arrest, for addiction treatment and missed the remainder of the season. ... Last year, after a broken arm cost him five games, he finished the season on the wrong side of the TD-INT ratio (6-10) and a career-low completion percentage (56.4). ... Based on appearances, what's gone right in Pachall's career happened before his arrest, and what's gone wrong has happened since.

I still think this guy has the tools and size to be an NFL starting QB down the road. Would be well worth a late round selection. Or you could see if he is interested in Houston as an UDFA.

He will be interested in anyone that offers him a shot as an UDFA. Same way Collin Klein was interested. I'm interested in bringing in any and all of those stories to rookie mini camp, it never hurts to give someone a look.

Whether he makes a practice squad is another thing, maybe even a team, but doubtful.

You mean the same way Collin Klein received several offers and was able to pick his team?

Interesting that I was not aware of the plethora of offers he received.

I remember him being signed the same day the draft ended on a non-guaranteed tryout offer. That doesn't seem like he was picking and choosing to me if the deal he accepted pretty much sucked.

I also checked this out and saw no mention of all these offers, but maybe he was, and maybe I am just not aware. For this I apologize.

http://www.rotoworld.com/recent/nfl/8460/collin-klein
 
Collin Klein hoped he would get selected in the NFL Draft, but when it didn’t happen the former Kansas State quarterback remained confident about his NFL future - for good reason.

Interested teams began calling as soon as the draft ended, and he was quickly presented with several quality options.

After evaluating them with his family and his agent, he decided to sign a free-agent contract with the Houston Texans.

Something I think they should do or maybe I should say wish they would do because it probably involves first amendment issues, but that's restrict disclosure of 40 yard sprint performances to only official times. The 40 is not really very important for most positions except a couple like the WRs & CBs.
So many times are released by the players' agents or others who have a vested interest/bias that the official times often get overlooked.
 
Blake said:
I dont recall that being the case. Do you have a link or source so I can read up on it?
Click to expand...

This conversation came up months ago and I remember posting a link but I can't find it now. I just did a quick search and couldn't find it, and I don't feel like scouring the internet so maybe it doesn't exist anymore.

I do recall that the majority of NFL teams wanted Klein to workout as a TE at the combine and he refused, saying he would only workout at QB.
