how slow is this guy that he doesnt want to run?

Three cone time of 6.87 vs Gesicki's time of 6.76. Seems pretty quick to me.

Draft Analyst's Tony Pauline relays that South Dakota State TE Dallas Goedert (hamstring) "looked terrific in pass catching and blocking drills."

We've heard little from Goedert this evaluating season, as the 6-foot-4, 256-pounder only recently started running after mending up from a hamstring injury sustained during the Senior Bowl practice week near the end of January. During this week's pro day, the Day 1 hopeful notched a 35-inch vertical jump, a 121-inch broad jump and scampered through the three-cone drill in 6.87 seconds. To put that three-cone time in perspective, Penn State's Mike Gesicki led all tight ends at the combine with a run of 6.76 seconds. Goedert's time would have ranked just behind his for the position group in Indianapolis. Per Pauline, the Philadelphia Eagles, Los Angeles Chargers, Miami Dolphins, New Orleans Saints, New York Giants, Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens all sent their tight end coaches to the SDSU pro day to check out what Goedert's offering.

But if they think he's hiding something. He's going to fall. The 40 is a very important evaluation tool.

Then I guess that Saints should trade down to grab Lamar Jackson and Rashaan Evans in the 2nd or 3rd rounds. Those two didn't run 40s at the Combine or their pro day (days in Evans case) even though they were healthy.

Don't get the hate on goedert
Doesn't seem like the type to back down from a challenge.
He probably hadn't been able to train for the 40 with the hamstring.
You just don't go out and run the 40 you have to train.
Hamstring injuries are tricky.
So he goes out and runs a shite 40 cause he's hurt it won't matter then he will Def drop.

This was the smart move and it matters some but not as much as some are making it out to be.
The drills are more important how he catches the ball and moves.
This is probably going to move him into 2nd round but I think that s pretty much where he was always going to be picked
