Again, here's the link back to my original post on the subject. As a quick refresher, 100 Speed Score is okay, 110 Speed Score is good or 120 Speed Score is great. I have a few first impressions based on these results. Obviously, Ben Tate did well for himself and since he was already in the conversation for a 3rd round or possibly 2nd round, for me this helps justify that kind of high selection. The top prospect, C.J. Spiller, didn't hurt himself here, so he did what he had to do, but no more. The added weight for Best, plus the higher than expected 40 time really starts to push (or keep) Best into the 1st round. Matthews and Hardesty both upped their stock a little as Matthews' time helps people to imagine him as a first rounder and I have a hard time seeing anyone putting Hardesty below the 3rd round at this point. Gerhart, Starks and Blount all did what they had to do and nothing here changes anything for them. Dwyer, McCluster, McKnight, Bell, Brown, and both Dixons really brought up or kept up questions about their talent level. I'm definitely not comfortable using a 1st rounder on Dwyer now, although in all fairness I was already on the fence about it. Pretty much everyone else wasn't a great prospect to begin with so their times don't matter much and they did nothing to change that.
