The NFL scouting combine in Indianapolis this week is a pivotal time for the pre-draft process. Teams across the league have narrowed down their draft boards and will be meeting with prospects for interviews that could help determine who they take in with their first-round pick. Acing those interviews, combine drills and passing medical evaluations will be key for hundreds of prospects. In a class lacking lots of top-tier talent, a good showing in all three phases of the combine could make a difference of a round come April's NFL draft. This draft class boasts one of the best running back groups in years along with deep classes at edge rusher, interior defensive line, interior offensive line and tight end. That knowledge could play into how teams make their decisions in the first two rounds of the NFL draft.
