Latest developing news, analysis as prospects prepare for 2010 NFL Draft on April 22-24

Linebacker A.J. Edds and Pat Angerer both ran in the high 4.6s, beating their respective 40 times at the combine, as well.

Junior offensive tackle Bryan Bulaga stood on most of his combine numbers, yet did participate in the bench press. His 27 reps were one better than his number from Indianapolis (26). He also took part in position drills on Monday. Bulaga is unlikely to slip past the 12th pick of Round 1.

DUKE

During the Duke pro day, scouts came away impressed with linebacker Vincent Rey. The team's leading tackler (weighing 240 pounds) gave scouts reason for pause, after turning in a terrific workout -- 4.58 and 4.54 in the 40; 38½-inch vertical jump; 6.79 seconds in the three-cone drill.

Several teams have been showing a lot of interest in the multi-versatile Rey, who was productive at middle linebacker and on the weak side for Duke.

The pro-day week starts off with a light schedule Monday. We'll be watching Iowa, where cornerback Amari Spievey hopes to solidify himself as a top 75 choice. In Durham, N.C., defensive lineman Vince Oghobaase hopes to rebound from a poor combine performance at Duke's pro day.

The schedule heats up Tuesday as Notre Dame, Mississippi and North Carolina take the field. Arizona State, Boise State and Central Michigan also have pro-day workouts this week.

Cleaning up a few tidbits from late last week:

• During the San Jose State workout on Friday, receiver Kevin Jurovich pleasantly surprised scouts with his speed. Considered a possession receiver by NFL decision makers, Jurovich timed his 40 in the low 4.4s and topped 37.5 inches on the vertical jump. He later put on a pass-catching clinic during position drills. This show of athleticism has likely sealed the sure-handed Jurovich as a late-round pick.

• During the Virginia workout, 240-pound lead blocker Rashawn Jackson was timed at 4.65 in the 40, one-tenth better than his combine performance. Jackson now moves towards April as the top pure fullback available in the draft.
