Entering Florida’s pro day on Wednesday, the big question surrounding CB Joe Haden is whether he can improve his forty yard dash time, which was clocked in the 4.6 range at the NFL Combine last month.
On Wednesday, Haden improved his time dramatically.
Some scouts had him clocked in the high 4.3 and low 4.4 range.
Haden reportedly wasn’t at 100% health at the NFL Combine so this was a good showing for him. Though some say it doesn’t matter, a slow forty yard dash for a cornerback is something that could easily push a top-10 player to a top-20 player.
Joe Haden Falling Out Of The Top Ten?
If you take mock drafts as gospel, then Florida CB Joe Haden will be going to the Browns at the 7th pick. He’s arguably the top corner in this draft and the Browns are in need of some secondary help.
Fortunately, mock drafts are not gospel and Haden’s draft position is up for debate.

The Browns are expected to strongly consider selecting Florida’s CB Joe Haden with the 7th pick in the 2010 NFL draft. However, should he fall, a couple of other teams will have plenty of information on him.
According to the National Football Post, Haden will conduct pre-draft visits with the Titans and Bengals.
The Titans are selecting 16th and the Bengals 21st so he would really have to tumble in order for him to have a shot absent a trade up.
The biggest knock on Haden following the NFL Combine in February was his speed which was reported to be in the 4.6 second range. He addressed those concerns with a strong performance at Florida’s pro day running the forty yard dash between 4.3 and 4.4 seconds, according to various reports.
Even if the Browns pass on him, I have a hard time believing he makes it all the way to the 16th pick.
