(Photo by Cooper Neill/Getty Images) | Getty Images With fewer and fewer players completing testing, assembling an NFL Draft board is getting harder and harder to do with each passing year. One thing that is nice for the Green Bay Packers is that the non-testers are disproportionately weighted to the top of the draft where they won’t have a pick; in the area where Green Bay will be picking, they’ll have some publicly verified testing numbers for the vast majority of options. The Packers can also theoretically have players do some testing on visits if they want to, perhaps for someone like Christen Miller, who was in on a visit but did not test either at the NFL Combine or his Pro Day. For the purposes of the board, I choose the most generous numbers from the Combine and Pro Day. Combine data comes from the official numbers provided by the NFL and Pro Day numbers come from either draftscout.com’s verified data or Football Sheets verified data, both of which get theirs from the NFL’s Pro Day verified numbers.

Threshold markers by position

Quarterback: Height 6020, Weight 210
Running Back: Weight: 200, 40 yard dash: 4.58, 3-cone: 7.20
Wide Receiver: Height: 5110, Weight: 190, 40 yard dash: 4.52, 3-cone: 7.10
Tight End: 4.70 40-yard dash
Offensive line: Weight: 300, 10-split: 1.82, Shuttle: 4.80, 3-cone: 7.85
Defensive Tackle and EDGE: Density-adjusted Speed, Power, and Agility scores based on past draft picks. This one is more convoluted so rather than lay out the entirety of the formula in a full article, it’s basically just an equation of how dense are you (height/weight) compared with how athletic you are in straight-line, jumps, and agilities, and comparing that against league baseline.
