Stock Watch - Pro Day movers

Impressive Pro Day's have a number of players flying up draft boards.

At Central Michigan's Pro Day, tackle Joe Staley put up a 4.8 in the 40-yard dash, a 32-inch vertical jump, and a 9-foot-9 broad jump. His stock has been soaring ever since. He looks to be a first round lock and top 15 is a possibility.

Amobi Okoye, at 305 pounds, ran a 4.85 40 yard dash during his Pro Day and sees his stock continue to rise. He now could go in the top ten.

Houston running back Jackie Battle has emerged as a sleeper candidate after an excellent Pro Day. At 6-2 and 235 pounds, Battle ran a 4.42 40 yard dash, a 41-inch vertical jump, 10-foot-11 long jump, 4.11 short shuttle, 6.51 three-cone drill and 19 bench press reps. He also impressed scouts with his receiving ability.

Staley and Boss impress during Pro Days

Joe Staley and Kevin Boss are moving up draft boards after impressive Pro Days.

At Central Michigan's Pro Day, tackle Joe Staley put up a 4.8 in the 40-yard dash, a 32-inch vertical jump, and a 9-foot-9 broad jump. Amazing number for someone weighing in at 6-foot-5 and 305-pounds. One scout said it was the "best all-around workouts I've seen by a big tackle in recent years" and added "that kid (Staley) does not last past the Top-20 picks".

At Western Oregon's Pro Day tight end Kevin Boss improved his stock. He ran the 40-yard dash in 4.66, better than the 4.74 he ran at the combine, and lifted 225 pounds 15 times.

Joe Staley will miss combine drills

Mlive reports offensive tackle Joe Staley pulled his right hamstring last week and won't be able to perform the combine drills.

Staley, who might be the most athletic lineman at the combine, was hoping to run a 4.7 forty and impress in the drills. He'll now have to wait till Central Michigan's pro day to show scouts his athleticism.
