We go into our third mock and the changes are aplenty. The top 4 spots don't show any movement, but with Mike Crabtree moving up to number 5 the changes are aplenty from there down. With a few positive drug tests and huge trades involving Atlanta and KC knocking Brandon Pettigrew out of the Falcons slot and the Bills grabbing the 28 spot from Philly it just keeps changing as we move down the board...more

40 Yard Dash

  Each and every prospect can be tested in the 40 yard dash, although each and every prospect can deny to be tested. The 40 yard dash is a test of speed, power, explosion, and a little bit of conditioning. Each prospect will be measured by the second and how long it takes you to complete a 40 yard sprint. The 40 yard dash will also be timed for 10 yard and 20 yard splits to test explosion. 

  The Drill: From a three-point stance, a player runs 40 yards as fast as he can. He is timed at three increments: 10, 20 and 40 yards. The 10-yard time is especially important for offensive and defensive linemen because they usually don't run farther than that during a play. Players get hand-held times (by scouts using stopwatches) and electronic times (recorded by a machine using a beam). 

What it tests: Pure speed from Point A to Point B under ideal conditions (indoors, AstroTurf, no weather obstacles)
