3-Point Conversion

Oft-maligned Tim Tebow of the University of Florida quietly posted terrific numbers in several key combine events today, locking up the top vertical jump and 3-cone drills of any QB. He also ranked second in the broad jump and a respectable fourth in the 40-yard dash. Below is a table of NFL.com verified results for Tebow and selected other combine participants.

According to recent NFL mock drafts, and cap gurus, the St. Louis Rams are in a tight bind with their number one overall pick. The top guy on their board, Ndomokong Suh, is clearly an elite player and one of the best prospects to come out of college in several years.

Unfortunately in the NFL, the top overall pick will earn compensation that will place him among the highest paid players in the game. The Rams, who have spent 3 of their last 4 first round picks along the defensive line, can ill afford to invest more cap room into the position, especially given their glaring need at QB.

According to Daniel Jeremiah at MoveTheSticks.com, Bradford measured in a shade over 6-4 carrying 236 pounds on his frame. If team doctors give him a clean bill of health, expect the Rams to nab their QB of the future with the pick.

His off-the-field decision-making has been questionable, however, and his postseason workouts (including the Senior Bowl) will determine how early he comes off the board in the draft.
