I don’t know about you guys Lance Alworth Color Rush Jersey , but l absolutely love the days of the NFL Combine where around and attempt to giddy-up with all that junk in..."I don’t know about you guys, but l absolutely love the days of the NFL Combine where we can watch some of the largest humans on the planet run around and attempt to giddy-up with all that junk in their trunk.This year’s crop of hog-mollies weren’t necessarily the most athletic group in recent years but there weren’t a ton of surprisingly un-athletic prospects, either.In a draft where the Chargers could use another new face or two to reinforce their front five, it may be tough to land an instant-impact prospect outside of the first two rounds but there’s good news: this draft is so deep with talent around the Bolts’ defensive needs that they could absolutely wait into early day 3 and still come out with a high-upside player.So in a position group that didn’t offer a ton of “wow”, here are my Winners and Losers from Friday’s workouts.WinnersGarrett Bradbury - C - North Carolina StateThe consensus top center in the class, Bradbury is an elite combination of size. speed, and quickness. His 4.92 forty was good for third among offensive linemen while his 34 reps on the bench press were good for second.His lower-body explosion numbers (31 in. vert, 104 in. broad) translate from his film which should have NFL teams salivating at the chance to grab the next uber-athlete at the pivot.Chris Lindstrom - OG - Boston CollegeLindstrom has been a big hit since the Senior Bowl when him and Dalton Risner of Kansas State became bros and started hooting and hollering their way through drills and team sessions, quickly becoming fan-favorites.The former-Eagle posted the second-fastest forty by an offensive linemen and exhibited the excellent movement skills that have made him one of the top offensive guards in this class.His 4.91 was behind only Texas A&M’s Erik McCoy (4.89) and his 117 in. vertical jump was second only to Washington State’s Andre Dillard.Andre Dillard - OT - Washington StateMy personal favorite player at the position this year, Dillard came in a took care of business.At a hair under 6-foot-5 and 315 pounds, Dillard was one of four offensive linemen to run a sub-5.0 forty time, joining Bradbury, Lindstrom Kellen Winslow Color Rush Jersey , and the aformentioned McCoy.His 4.96 was fourth-best while the fleet-footed tackle notched the furthest broad jump among the group at 118 inches.Dillard is far and away the best and most naturl pass protector in this class. While I was in Mobile, it was oh-so apparent and the biggest reason why I have coveted Dillard for the Chargers over last few months.LosersGreg Little - OT - Ole MissAs a former five-star recruit in high school, Little chose Ole Miss and went on to start most of the games during his three years in Oxford. On film, Little is a mammoth of a man with some unrealistically light feet and some real power behind his paws when he decides to deliver a blow to unsuspecting defenders.Listed by the team at 320+, Little came into the combine at 310 pounds, likely to help his chances of running faster and jumping higher.This was not the case.Aside from his broad jump, which was sixth-best among OL at 113 inches, his forty time was second-worst among his position (5.33) while his vertical of 25 inches was “good” or third-worst. For a guy billed to be a potential first round pick, with all the fundamental shortcomings he has at the position, I’m not sure anyone takes a stab at Little on day one anymore.David Edwards - OT - WisconsinAs a former quarterback in high-school who was initially committed to Wisconsin as a tight end recruit, I expected Edwards to test somewhere among the top of his peers but that just wasn’t the case for the former-Badger.His 5.28 forty, vertical jump (25.5 in.), and his broad (99 in.) were all near the bottom of the position group and this had to be quite the surprise for the 6-foot-6 Philip Rivers Color Rush Jersey , 308-pound tackle who some deemed to be one of the more athletic offensive linemen in the entire class.On the plus side, Edwards did look natural during field drills which, at the end of the day, may be what saves his draft stock.

Haffey/Getty ImagesAfter the 2018 NFL Draft, Newsome became the next “diamond in the rough” that the Chargers un-earthed at the running back position, just a year after the team found Austin Ekeler out of Division II Western State. A year later, Ekeler is now the team’s back-up ball-carrier (not to mention one of their top offensive weapons, in general) and Newsome sits as the fourth-string tailback but could still easily step up in a pinch.Basic InfoHeight: 5-10Weight: 210College: Western CarolinaExperience: 2Years with team: 1Contract Status“Detrez Newsome signed a 3 year, $1 Melvin Gordon Color Rush Jersey ,710,000 contract with the Los Angeles Chargers, including an average annual salary of $570,000. In 2019, Newsome will earn a base salary of $570,000, while carrying a cap hit of $570,000.”- Spotrac.comThe GoodIn his lone preseason, Newsome took advantage of his increased reps while seventh-round pick Justin Jackson missed time with a lower-body injury. Newsome went on to lead the team in yards from scrimmage in the exhibition games, totaling 150 rushing yards and a pair of scores on 42 carries. He also added nine catches for an additional 66 yards.In the team’s second tilt with the Kansas City Chiefs, the Chargers were unfortunately without their top two backs. But what team’s can boast the type of college production that the Chargers have in their third and fourth-string RBs? Without skipping a beat, Newsome came into the game and rushed for 34 yards on six carries and took two catches for another 19, both of which went for crucial first downs.I’m not sure how long the Chargers can keep Newsome around Austin Ekeler Color Rush Jersey , but they are able to have a rare sense of security knowing that the sky can start falling and they would still be fairly safeat the running back position.The BadThere really isn’t much to say that negative towards Newsome other than the fact he has ended up in a very deep position group. He can run it and receive it with equal effectiveness and has already shown the propensity to come through in clutch-situations.Odds of making the roster/What to expect in 2019I’d say that Newsome has a, roughly, 60% chance of making the roster. I actually believe the chance should be higher, but will depend on if Anthony Lynn wants to keep someone else from being claimed off waivers, like he did last year when he stuck Newsome on the practice squad to ensure Justin Jackson made it through.Predictions for Newsome should all fall similarly to his production in 2018. The Chargers are probably good for at least one game where they can spare some garbage time snaps to the back-ups, especially if Lynn wants to put in more of an effort to keep the starters fresh down the stretch late in the season.Fun Fact: Newsome left Western Carolina after rushing for 3,728 yards and 37 touchdowns, both good for 2nd in school history. He also hauled in 109 passes for another 962 yards and seven scores. His 46 total touchdowns leave him at the top for TDs in a career and his 6,969 all-purpose yards are also No.1 in school annals.
