Joe Haden just ran a 4.57 at the combine, that should drop him to us.

Basically a less faster version of D.Townsend.

Actually....he has been timed at 4.41 but ran a 4.43 at his pro day....and he has experience with man to man.

... "there were examples of him playing man to man. It wasn't all cover 2 or cover 5 where they had over the top help. There were times they did other things"....

I'll start caring about 40 times the second the NFL starts letting players play in shorts and t-shirts and the game is only played by running in straight lines...

I'd be ecstatic with Haden at 18...

Same here.

Just a side note to his 40 at the combine, Haden claimed (during an interview with Colin Cowherd) that he pulled a muscle in his back prior to the combine but was told by scouts to participate in all of the drills anyway. He said he never would have run if he knew it would have been blown up the way it did.

If we stay at 18 and he falls to us, I'll do somersaults up and down the hallways at work tomorrow morning...
