If a player was not a good football player, pass.

For the good football players, the combine allows you to measure them physically compared to their peers.  

It is also a mental and physical character test which is important. 

if you see Quinnen in his underwear at the combine, you pick him in the second round.  He did not have the body to start right away in the nfl, which is what that pick was supposed to be. 

Polite bombs-you don’t draft him. 

The Combine is not the deciding factor-it is second and third step confirmation. 

Polite did bomb. And, well....

Something to be said for the interview stuff to a point. It's a job interview. If I guy is complete turd, you should not pick him. And you would like to see a guy take it seriously. 

The physical stuff really is unnecessary because every NCAA player down through D3 is getting weighed, timed and measured going back as many as 8 years. Problem is dumb GMs invest the combine with more importance than actual football, and more than they should.
