Any good links for combine coverage?

Jimmy Smith/CB/Colorado continues to look impressive in his combine training. It was reported to us he looks like a linebacker but runs like a fast cornerback. On the other hand we hear Jurrell Casey/DT/USC has been unimpressive. People have described him as having a squat/low to the ground built with thin legs. He’s looked unathletic in training. Adrian Clayborn/DE/Iowa will perform at the combine. We hear he’s been tipping the scales in the mid 280’s and has been running in the high 4.6’s recently in training. We raved about DT Marvin Austin during our coverage of Shrine practices. In similar fashion we wrote glowingly about the skills of his former teammate, CB Kendric Burney from the Senior Bowl. Yet sources have told us scouts were unimpressed to the point of being turned off by the interviews each turned in at those respective games.

The usual; the Matt's, Eric Branch, Kawakami and Adam Schefter.

Should I add anyone else to the list?

Going to be a slow first day of the combine. Won't start heating up until tomorrow, although there will be some news of note.

This is a little off topic but man the NFL should get the CBA figured out because they have good thing going. This article states that the combine gets more viewers than an MLB game despite being less available.

USC OT Tyron Smith, who weighed 285 at college, weighed in today at 307. Added weight, added value.
