Seeing as how the NFL Combine is now an annual televised event on the NFL Network (including online at NFL+ and NFL.com), it probably deserves its own thread to discuss the results that may affect the 2023 Draft.
Here is the schedule:
Mon-Wed, 2/27 - 3/1: team interviews, media interviews, medical exams (this is when GM's & HC's might give pressers; Rick & Mike sometimes did)
Thurs, 3/2: official measurements/weigh-ins; DL & LB (3-8PM ET; coverage starts at 3:30PM ET)
Fri, 3/3: DB, K & ST (3-8PM ET; coverage starts at 4PM ET)
Sat, 3/4: QB, WR & TE (1-8PM ET; coverage starts at 2PM ET)
Sun, 3/5: OL & RB (1-7PM ET; coverage starts at 1:30PM ET)
Basically defense gets the weekday coverage while the offense gets the weekend.

Some of the biggest "snubs" from this year's Combine:
- Karl Brooks, DL, Bowling Green: great college production, great Bowl Game, solid performance at Senior Bowl; have no idea why he's left out
- Starling Thomas V, CB, UAB: #59 on Feldman's 2022 "Freaks List"; really good Shrine Bowl, would have put up solid #'s; no idea why he's left out
- Atonio Mafa, IOL, UCLA: really good Shrine Bowl week; "mauling" OG; probably wouldn't put up great testin #'s but you'd like to get an athletic baseline
- Marte Mapu, DB, Sacramento St: looked great at NFLPA Bowl and earned invite to Senior Bowl where he also looked good; really big Safety at 6'3", 217 lbs and you'd like to get some athletic baseline #'s for him and a strong workout would have done wonders for his Day 3 draft stock
- Kobie Turner, DT, Wake Forest: one of the highest graded DT players per PFF; played well at Shrine Bowl
The Combine is also where GM's meet with agents of players currently on the roster to discuss possible extensions/trades, so expect some "online whispers" about Cousins, Cook, Thielen, Tomlinson, Hunter, Z Smith, etc. this week and next.
