There are over 200 picks in the NFL draft. As easy as you can name a handful of guys that increased their stock at the combine but flopped, I can name guys that increased their stock at the combine and panned out. I can also name guys that were considered 1st/2nd round picks before the combine, hurt their stock at the combine, and then never amounted to anything.

 

You can't just point to certain cases and say "see, the combine is pointless". There are many times where the combine gives false-positives and false-negatives, but there are also many times that the combine gives true-positives and true-negatives.
