NFL.com's take on Iowa football's Pro Day, and video

Gil Brandt, the Dallas Cowboys' chief talent scout and vice president in charge of player personnel from 1960 to 1988, has a new blog post on NFL.com detailing his thoughts on Iowa's Pro Day workouts Monday.

I'll give you a couple of quick highlights, and you can click the link above for details Brandt uses to support these opinions:

No Hawkeye caught the attention of pro scouts more than DE Adrian Clayborn, who looked really good in his workout in front of D-line coaches from Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Arizona, and Cincinnati.

Iowa QB Ricky Stanzi also did himself some good Monday with a workout that was superior to his performance at the NFL Scouting Combine. ... He definitely helped his stock, which is good since he had an audience of QB coaches that included Carolina and Baltimore.

Brandt also noted workout numbers for Christian Ballard, Karl Klug, Tyler Sash and Julian Vandervelde.

Thirty-two NFL scouts and five NFL assistant coaches were at Monday's session in Iowa City. Two of the five assistants were the quarterback coaches of Baltimore and Cincinnati. Baltimore seems to have its starting quarterback for quite a while in Joe Flacco. Cincinnati's situation may be more fluid, as starter Carson Palmer has asked to be traded, but the Bengals have said that wish won't be accommodated.

The National Football Post's Matt Bowen offered his own notes on Iowa's Pro Day. An excerpt:

Iowa defensive lineman Christian Ballard had a strong Pro Day workout as he ran the 40-yard dash between 4.67 and 4.72 seconds, according to an NFL scout. ...

According to an NFL scout, quarterback Ricky Stanzi had a positive workout.

"Crisp and sharp," the scout told National Football Post. "Hitting all the routes and showed consistent accuracy."

Here are three NFL draft experts' opinions of Stanzi at TitanInsider.

We would have had similar video of our own and more-detailed, better-written stories, but the press is denied access to this event. That's not whining, just an explanation of why my information and video from this is all linked and/or borrowed.
