Joe Haden runs a pedestrian 4.57 on his 40! (Eric Berry at 4.45)

That's too slow. If he's there, I say we pass...
Ouch! That rules out the Raiders.

Sounds a lot like Jenkins fall last year. Reiterates my concerns about him months ago. He looked good because the WRs and QBs in the SEC weren't very good last year. Tough to evaluate a guy in that scenario. I try not to put too much stock in the combine numbers, but personally I just didn't think Haden was special before hand.
Could he play safety? Might be an option at #17.

Dude, if he drops we pick him up regardless of his 40 time.

Haden at 13!!!
I'm glad no one is overreacting to the 40 yard dash
Yikes! I can run a 4.57...and I'm a 30 year old out of shape fat guy...with a bum knee!
PASS on Haden....Don't want to "switch" a first rounder to safety and have a tweener with our #17. We're better off taking Iupati with that pick IMO.
If Haden in at 13 we better take that guy, people over react so much to 40times. I hate the combine.

Watch film of Haden when he was at Florida thats all you need to see

NFL Network analyst Deion Sanders, who knows a little something about playing defensive back and about running fast 40-yard dashes, said Haden looked uncomfortable from the beginning and even suggested that Haden might be getting some coaching that has made him self-conscious about his running technique.

"First of all, it was a horrible stance," Sanders said of Haden. "I don't know what he's being taught -- sometimes you've just got to let a guy run. Tweak him a little bit but don't try to change everything."

How about we get a safety to play safety? We haven't exactly lit it up trying to convert guys.
And people blame al Davis for taking 40 times too seriously
who cares about 40 times he plays well and shuts down wrs that's all that matters last time I checked people don't run like they do when theyrun the 40 if they do they won't even see where the ball is going

Please don't take the 40 so seriously really the only important thing you need to see in the combine is the drills those show how good a player is going to be
