We know that the Jaguars are focusing on Defensive End, so today's combine events are of far more importance than the Wide Receivers, Running Backs and Quarterbacks of yesterday.

There is one problem with these numbers, it's that I'm trying to focus on defensive ends, but you've got some guys who project as ends, and others as 3-4 outside linebackers.  Quentin Groves is listed on NFL.com as a Lineman, but others are catagorizing him as a linebacker.  My point is that sometimes making sure you get every DE prospect can be a bit of a pain, so I'll have to keep updating this as I accumulate more accurate data.

Lawrence Jackson        4.81
Curtis Johnson        4.67
Brian Johnston       
Jason Jones        4.77
Kendall Langford    4.97
Chris Long        4.71
Bryan Mattison        5.07
Phillip Merling       
Adamm Oliver       
Chase Ortiz        4.87
Darrell Robertson       
Jeremy Thompson        4.73
Quentin Groves        4.57

Groves was very, very fast.  Vernon Gholston had a great day with a good 40 and then 37 bench press reps, showing that he's fast AND strong prospect.

Calais Campbell disappointed just about everyone with his 5.03. Two scouts told me that they worry that he's not taking this process seriously and that while he's talented, it's a matter of "if you can get it out of him."
