Minkah Fitzpatrick - DB - Crimson Tide

Alabama DB Minkah Fitzpatrick measured 6-feet-0 1/8-inches and 204 pounds with 31 1/4-inch arms at the NFL Combine.

If Fitzpatrick plays in the slot or at safety, where he has lined up most and is comfortable, his arm length is not a question. However, some teams might be viewing him as an outside corner thanks to positional value. If that is the case, then his sub-32-inch arms might not reach the ideal threshold for every team. Fitzpatrick's wingspan is 75 1/8-inches.

Derrius Guice - RB - Free Agent

The Miami Herald's Armando Salguero reports the Dolphins like LSU RB Derrius Guice "a lot."

Guice turned in a solid combine, running the 40-yard dash in 4.49 seconds and recording a 31.5-inch vertical jump. Guice racked up over 3,000 rushing yards (6.5 YPC) in his time at LSU despite splitting time with Leonard Fournette for 2-of-3 seasons. The Dolphins interest in Guice leaves us questioning their comfort with Kenyan Drake as a workhorse back.

Josh Allen - QB - Cowboys

Wyoming QB Josh Allen has worked to correct his tendency to "overstride," according to SI's Bruce Feldman.

Apparently this overstride forced him to sail passes or miss to the right of his target. Allen improved during Senior Bowl week and will throw at Indianapolis at the NFL Combine, and he is certainly in play for the first overall pick.

Antonio Callaway - WR - Gators

Florida WR Antonio Callaway ran a 40-yard dash of 4.41 seconds at the NFL Scouting Combine.

Callaway (5'11/200) turned in one of the better 40-yard dash times in the early group of wideouts. The combine is an absolutely crucial setting for the former Gator, who has a myriad of off-field issues to answer for -- most recently, a credit card fraud scam which led to a season-long suspension in 2017. Should Callaway somehow dance through the firestorm of NFL inquisition, he's a phenomenal athlete and could potentially end up a late-round steal. His baggage is very, very heavy, though.

Isaiah Oliver - DB - Buffaloes

Colorado CB Isiah Oliver measured 6-feet 1/4-inches, 201 pounds and 33 1/2 inch arms at the 2018 NFL Combine.

Oliver also has a wingspan of 80 5/8-inches. He has a legitimate shot of being a first-round selection and can continue Colorado's recent run of quality defensive back prospects.

Josh Jackson - DB - Hawkeyes

Iowa CB Josh Jackson measured 6-foot 3/8 inches and 196 pounds with 31 1/8-inch arms at the 2018 NFL Combine.

Jackson led the FBS in interceptions with eight in 13 games. With that said, he does not have the length some teams covet, i.e. the Seahawks with 32-inch arms. That is fine as he will be highly coveted by a number of teams. Jackson likely will be a first-round pick. Jackson has a wingspan of 74 1/4-inches.

Deon Cain - WR - Tigers

Clemson WR Deon Cain ran the 40-yard dash in 4.43 seconds at the NFL Scouting Combine.

Sharp, sharp time for Cain, who was one of the top performers in the first group of wideouts running the event on Saturday. The 6-foot-2, 202-pounder possesses an ideal combination of size, speed and route-running, but has struggled with mental mistakes such as drops and false starts over the past two seasons. NFL Media's Lance Zierlein assigns Cain a second-round grade for the spring.

Read on Twitter

Highly recruited. LT with RT experience. Good size (almost 6'5, 320ish), very big hands with long arms (34 3/8 at SB) and over 82 inches in his wingspan. Very good once he gets his hands set and locked on but needs some overall refining with the quickness and getting them in the right spots. Good director in the run game top and bottom and has some nastiness the way he finishes. Ok in space but not elite. Doesn't look comfortable blocking downfield. Pure speed sometimes bothers him. Comes from the Oregon system where they don't usually translate well early in some pass protection areas.

Mayock and others think he's a RT only.

http://www.nbcsports.com/chicago/bears/sources-bears-dolphins-have-discussed-jarvis-landry-jordan-howard-swap

Whispers are that the Bears and Miami Dolphins have had conversations about the Dolphins sending wide receiver Jarvis Landry and a third-round pick to the Bears in exchange for Howard and a swap of the Dolphins pick at No. 11 overall for the Bears’ at No. 8.

At 236, he's still too small. And dudes gain weight in the offseason, especially for the combine; his playing weight is probably 230. That's 9 pounds heavier than Tartt.

It would be a bad move to spend the 9th pick on him.

Auden Tate - WR - Seminoles

Florida State WR Auden Tate ran the 40-yard dash in 4.68 seconds at the NFL Scouting Combine.

We figured that speed tests might foul up Tate and that did, indeed, end up being the case. For reference's sake, the 6-foot-5, 228-pounder ran slower than Oklahoma TE Mark Andrews (4.67 seconds) despite Andrews weighing in almost 30 pounds heavier and would have nearly lost a race to Wyoming QB Josh Allen (unofficially at 4.75 seconds). It wasn't just a slow run which marred Tate's day, though. He was also a relative no show on his leaps, managing just 31 inches (vertical) and 112 inches (broad). As much as we love the Florida State wideout's upside as a red zone threat, these athletic tests may well have knocked him out of serious Day 2 consideration.

Dallas Goedert - TE - Jackrabbits

South Dakota State TE Dallas Goedert (hamstring) or participate in workouts due to his hamstring injury.

Goedert was able to participate in the bench press, and got off 23 repetitions during his time on the bench. He's expected to be ready to run the 40-yard dash and go through pass-catching drills during his pro day at South Dakota State, which will reportedly take place on March 30. He's considered one of the best tight ends in the class, with a real chance of going on Day 1.

A while back I heard that he has type 1 diabetes. If he were to drop to round 4, then I assume it would have to be due to his medical issue.

Mark Andrews - TE - Sooners

Oklahoma TE Mark Andrews ran the 40-yard dash in 4.67 seconds at the NFL Scouting Combine.

Andrews (6'5/256) didn't blow the doors off the run ala fellow tight ends Jaylen Samuels or Mike Gesicki -- both of whom posted 4.54-second dashes -- but finished with one of the top runs at the position nonetheless. Rotoworld's Thor Nystrom was somewhat underwhelmed with the Sooners prospect in his tape study, but ultimately did rank him as his No. 3 tight end in the class. Andrews offers little in terms of his blocking, with one scout telling NFL Media that he views him as a "big slot receiver." Outlet analyst Lance Zierlein hits him up with a grade for Rounds 3-4 in the spring draft.

Courtland Sutton - WR - Mustangs

SMU WR Courtland Sutton ran the 40-yard dash in 4.54 seconds at the NFL Scouting Combine.

Sutton's run was one which held as much intrigue as any in Indianapolis and he came through with flying colors. The 6-foot-3, 218-pounder possesses palatable size for a No. 1 wideout, but needed a strong run to realistically stay in play for a Round 1 selection. This run of 4.54 seconds more than does the trick, especially given his frame and stature. It may well help him to be the first receiver selected in the draft this spring. In addition to the nice 40-yard dash run, Sutton also turned in respectable jumps of 35.5 inches (vertical) and 124 inches (broad). We like what we've seen all the way around.
