INDIANAPOLIS — Even though the defensive backs will still be working out Monday, media availability for the NFL Scouting Combine is now complete.

Of the 330 prospects that were on hand for the event, 66 of them were from the SEC — more than any other conference. Additionally, mock drafts suggest that the league will positively own Round 1 once the last weekend in April arrives.

For the most part, the big names justified their status as premier players worthy of taking their talent to the next level. Others — a certain linebacker from Alabama comes to mind — didn’t take advantage of their time in Indy and either struggled with testing, were red-flagged in medicals or failed to impress during interviews.

While the combine is only a piece of the draft puzzle, it’s an important one. Anybody can show out at a Pro Day since there’s a certain home-field advantage at play. But the neutral-site nature of Lucas Oil Stadium is unique.

Based on what I saw, heard and experienced first-hand in Naptown, here is my list of winners and losers from the SEC.

WINNER: LSU RB Leonard Fournette

It came as a bit of a shock on Day 1 when Fournette tipped the scales at 240 pounds, which made him the heaviest ball carrier invited. While he told reporters it was nothing more than some extra water weight and that he’s usually around 235, the focus on his upcoming 40-yard dash scheduled for Day 2 greatly intensified.

Fournette responded with a time of 4.51 seconds, which is incredibly fast at that weight. His draft stock is quite secure.

LOSER: Alabama LB Reuben Foster

Arguably the No. 1 linebacker available in the draft, Foster wasn’t going to participate in the on-field workouts since he was recovering from surgery. But the headline of the event was the former Crimson Tider getting into an altercation with a medical staffer and being sent home from the event by the NFL a few days early.

Foster shot a live video on Instragram shortly thereafter and came off as totally tone-deaf. A subsequent apology was clearly crafted by his agent.

WINNER: Texas A&M DE Myles Garrett

Showing up at 6-foot-4 and 272 pounds, Garrett’s measurable strength and speed was on par with what his game tape suggests. First he put up 33 reps on the bench press at 225 pounds, and then he ran the 40-yard dash in 4.64 seconds. Even if his running style was somewhat awkward, he got from Point A to Point B in a hurry.

Garrett even “apologized” to the Cleveland Browns for saying previously that he hoped the Dallas Cowboys would trade up for the No. 1 pick.

LOSER: Tennessee DE Derek Barnett

Overshadowed by the likes of the aforementioned Garrett and Jonathan Allen of Alabama, Barnett may have been the most consistent pass rusher in the SEC last year. Unfortunately, he came down with a virus and had to skip out on Saturday’s bench press. He tried to give it a go in drills Sunday, but he wasn’t himself.

Luckily for Barnett, he has lots of time to recover before Pro Day on March 31 in Knoxville. Scouts will be anxious to see him at full strength.

WINNER: LSU G/C Ethan Pocic

A guard during his time in Baton Rouge, Pocic is viewed as a center at the next level. He did a lot of snapping at the Senior Bowl in January, so he’s already showing to be versatile along the line. At the combine, he was more athletic than expected both in the 40-yard dash (5.15) and many of the other standardized tests.

While the league is having a hard time finding quality tackle prospects, Pocic is among the many fine potential draftees between the bookends.

LOSER: Arkansas TE Jeremy Sprinkle

This year’s crop of tight ends is shaping up to be a memorable one, highlighted by SEC studs like O.J. Howard of Alabama and Evan Engram of Ole Miss. However, while those two were running like deer Saturday, Sprinkle’s performance was rather pedestrian. Tight ends are more freakish than ever, but he’s simply not built that way.

There’s room in the NFL for a more traditional hand-in-the-dirt tight end like Sprinkle, yet he doesn’t offer any of Howard’s or Engram’s flexibility.

WINNER: Tennessee QB Joshua Dobbs

We knew going into the combine that it wasn’t a strong class of quarterbacks. The throwing drills Saturday hammered home that notion immediately, as the possible first-round picks didn’t separate themselves from the others. Dobbs actually threw the ball pretty well and proved that he’s not too far behind the top passers.

It’s safe to assume that Dobbs knocked the socks off every coach and GM during interviews. He seems to be trending in the right direction.

LOSER: Alabama LB Tim Williams

Because he’s such a demon off the edge on film, a lot of scouts expected Williams to test through the roof Sunday. That wasn’t really the case, though. His 40-yard dash time of 4.68 seconds didn’t stand out, plus he wasn’t overly fluid doing the various positional drills. He didn’t bother to do the bench press, either.

The buzz on Williams at the Indiana Convention Center was about him being a suspension waiting to happen based on his prior “recreational activities,” too.

WINNER: St. Elmo’s shrimp cocktail

No trip to the combine is complete without dinner at St. Elmo, one of the country’s best old-school steakhouses. The signature item there is shrimp cocktail, which is served with a sauce so full of horseradish that it’s been known to burn nasal hair on contact. Even though I’ve enjoyed it a dozen times in the past, it really got me this year.

Yes, I was that guy coughing up a storm because my taste buds were overcome by the heat. St. Elmo’s shrimp cocktail remains undefeated.
