Is the combine overrated?

[Hawkinaz]

I agree with everything Stink had to say

It can be useful, but it also leads to workout warriors being overdrafted. See: Mike Mamula.

Or that O Lineman who got drafted by the Packers. Can't remember his name, but he was roided out big time.

I just remembered: Tony Mandarich. BRUTAL

Think it is useful, but has become over hyped due to media. It's not an all inclusive evaluation that Mediots try to make it out to be for projections.

Measurements and watching guys do their thing against nobody is overrated. The only thing I would use it for is if I'm torn between a couple guys on draft day. Watching game film and interviews should carry more weight. This is where some GM's and the like seem to over think things or put too much emphasis on what they think a prospect can become. (Heard that from an NBA GM)
