Chidobe ran a 4.43 and I thought Isaiah was a bit faster iirc from interviews.

2018 CU NFL Draft & Free Agency Thread
- Thread starter Buffnik
- Start date
If he can run in that range, I think he cements himself as a first rounder, assuming he doesn’t completely blow the rest of the workouts, which I highly doubt a decathlete doing. He’d make for a pretty good replacement for Talib in Denver (if he falls to the 2nd round), iyam.
I don't think he'll get past Cleveland at the top of the 2nd if he slips. They're desperate for CB help.
Only a handful of corners in the combine that have the measurables to make this particular play

Looks like PRich deleted his tweet about being at Pro Day
Yeah that doesn't help his 1st round chances, but I think NFL people know the film is where it matters and Oliver clearly has the football speed. The video below is pretty awesome, too. Not only hyping up Oliver as a 1st rounder, but also mentions CU getting a reputation in NFL circles for putting out really good DBs.
Oliver is working out right now on the NFL channel.

Isaiah Oliver - DB - Buffaloes
Colorado CB Isaiah Oliver ran the 40-yard dash in 4.50 seconds at the NFL Scouting Combine.
On a defensive backs testing days which has seen multiple runs under 4.40 seconds, Oliver came up a little bit slower. Still 4.50 seconds is good enough for government work, as they say. The 6-foot, 201-pounder possesses serviceable size and insanely long arms, with his wingspan measuring at an airplane-esque 80 5/8 inches. NFL Media's Lance Zierlein notes that Oliver "has a high ceiling as a bump-and-run, lockdown corner, but might benefit from a limited role his rookie season." He'll be in the Day 1 conversation come April.

They spoke well of O. Not the best 40 ever but it's not too shabby.
CU Pro Day this afternoon.
Really eager to see how Bobo, Lindsay, Fields and Fo run. Jackson also has a nice opportunity to impress. Last, Ross is the guy I think could run a crazy time and earn himself a lot of attention since reports back in the day were that he was at least as fast as P-Rich.

It seems unlikely but if Bobo has a good time I could see him shooting up the board and getting drafted, that is really his only question mark as it stands.
I agree. Excellent route runner, short area quickness, body control, ball skills and timing. But can he separate from a DB?
Is Sefo throwing to these guys?

Kick the hell out of it. Forever Buffs.

A lot of opportunities for guys to earn late round consideration or preferred UDFA status.
I freaking love Lindsay but am concerned that he is just too small (5-foot-7 2/8, 184 lbs) to get a shot. Man, I was really wanting him to come in closer to 5'9" 195 - 200lbs Hopefully he keeps defying the odds.
Yeah, I was thinking he'd come in a little closer to what you've stated and think the same thing about his actual measurements. De'Angelo Henderson is 5'8 208lbs. McCaffrey is 5'11 200lbs. I just don't know where a player of Lindsay's size fits in as a RB. Even Woodhead is 5'8" and listed at 204lbs.

Not to worry, their math is as bad as yours. They don't understand the concept of reducing fractions, and you think a guy can grow 2 inches in a couple of months.
In fairness, he was playing on a bad knee in HS.
