Combine times are not hand timed, they are electronically timed. (official) Whey they first run and they put up their times, that's the hand timing, but it's always changed when they get the official times in. That's why Taylor Mays ran a 4.24 before his real time came in.

For the sake of making these ratings look bad, I hope OBJ has a really bad sophomore slump... I'm getting real tired about hearing about this catch, sure it was a great catch can we move on now.

I may be in the minority on this opinion (and, i know you're a DEN fan, so I'm sure you'll disagree. ), but I still feel DT benefits quite a bit from Manning being the QB. And, please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, because I did not see a lot of Broncos games, but on most highlights i see of DT, he seems like more of a YAC guy. So, I'm sure he runs good routes, gets enough separation, but Manning puts it where he can move with it. I don't feel like Thomas is a great "catcher" of the ball. So, I sort of have issues with him being an upper echelon WR and am unsure how he would do with a lesser QB. Megatron can make wicked catches. Julio can make wicked catches. Odel made the signature catch for madden 16. Not sure if Thomas, Nelson, or Brown actually make those types of catches. So, those are things i expect from a highly rated WR. I am a GT fan, fyi, so i should be biased toward wanting Thomas to be highly rated, but again, the footage i've seen still doesn't make me think he's even top 5, actually.

Yes, everyone benefits from Peyton being their QB (i.e. Blair White) But DT has size, strength, and IMO runs better routes than Dez. He has a ton of one handers like this one out there. Always a threat to take a bubble screen or a slant for 6 and he has good footwork near the sidelines too.

Anyone see Dez Bryant's tweet about his speed rating? lol

That is not entirely accurate.

The times posted by NFLN live are all unofficial. The official HH and ET times are not released to the teams by National Scouting until nearly a week after the combine. Even the electronic times are hand-started. The ET timer (P3DX) can also break and result in a time that is either too fast or too slow. That is why National also includes all of the HH times as well.

The "official" times posted by NFLN aren't even the official times that National releases. They literally have a scout hand-timing those times for NFLN in the stands at the finish line.

Only one I really have a problem with is OBJ. I think I'd have Calvin and Dez (and maybe even Julio) above Antonio Brown but not by much. The battle for the fifth one minus OBJ is why I wish they did top tens of these. TE's are tomorrow? I'll be expecting a Travis Kelce sighting.

Huge Cowboys fan, but Megatron is in a league all alone.
