That's what I've heard. The combine has morphed into an event primarily for the media and fans. The main thing the teams get out of it is a networking opportunity.

Far be it from the NFL to miss a marketing opportunity...

But having guys side-by-side is advantageous for perspective...

Reminds me of the ole Jim Finks adage - if you got two guys on the draft board when you're picking, take the bigger guy...
