Players head to Indianapolis with the high hopes of improving their draft stock and adding zeros to their paycheck.  However, as we see every year, for every winner there is a loser.  At this time of the month last year, Mel Kiper had Texas A&M's defensive end  Damonte Moore as one of his top-5 players.  After a bad combine along with multiple injuries, Moore dropped all the way to the 19th pick in the third round.  Moore's brutal combine included 12 reps in the bench press and an unimpressive 4.95 40-yard dash.   Here are this years losers who's stock is headed in the same direction. 

Cyrus Kouandjio Offensive Tackle, Alabama

Koundijo came into the combine fighting with a long list of other lineman for third place behind Jake Mathews and Greg Robinson.  Ranking near the bottom for offensive lineman in the three-cone, broad jump, short shuttle, and 40 time.  After the rough start, Kouandjio later went on to fail numerous team's physicals flaring up questions about the long term health of his knee.  Expect his poor combine to have ill effects on his stock falling not just out of the top-3 for his position, but most likely the top-10 all together. 

Michael Sam Linebacker, Missouri 

The pressure that built after Sam announced he was openly gay might have been too much, after he failed to live up to his high expectations.  Sam looked stiff in the hips and struggled anytime he was asked to move backward, similar to the Senior Bowl.  After jumping only 25.5 inches and running a sluggish 4.91 40-yard dash Sam has raised more questions than answers, as he has firmly entrenched him self into day three of the draft.  

Jarvis Landry Wide Receiver, LSU

A combine casualty Landry looks good on tape but struggles with the stopwatches out.  After a first-round projection to the Forty-Niners by Mel Kiper, a 4.77 40 time along with just 12 reps on the bench rep have Landry slipping into third-round consideration.  Every year a skill-position player falls much further than he should because of a slow 40 time, much like Chargers' Keenan Allen last year.  Now although I'm not comparing Landry to Allen, I will say he just created a lot of value for whatever team selects him later in the draft, because of his trip to Indianapolis.
