Florida LB Brandon Spikes Unable To Break 5.0 In The 40 At Pro Day

I just saw that he does appear to have a injury on DraftInsider.net

Purely a Mike in a 3-4, and he should be a good one. Bradie James clone

Not nearly as good and overall prospect as McCain, who can play both 3-4 spots and in a 4-3

 

Last year I would have said that his time has knocked him out from being a day one pick, well he will not be a day one pick and may not be a day two pick but will be a day three pick. I think a team late in round two or round three will pick him up.

 

the gap between him and mcclain is minimal. mcclain will go the mayo path, and spikes will go the poz/maualuga/lauantis/ryans path....any of whom could touch willis


ill take him in the second, he wont suffer like ali highsmith did when he ran a 5.03, completely different players

 

IMO there is a huge gap between them. Spikes is a very good 3-4 Mike prospect. He offers little to nothing anywhere else. McClain can play all three MLB positions 3-4 Mike, #-4 Joker (or whetever they call it nowadays) and 4-3 Mike

Spikes is purely a down hill player. He is Bradie James in the NFL. he will be very good at it, but thats all he will do

 

According to The National Football Post, Spikes' slowest official time in the 40 at his Pro Day was a 5.10.
