The NFL Draft process gets underway this weekend with the Combine, also known as the Underwear Olympics. You're correct to be somewhat skeptical. But there *are* some things we can learn at the annual meeting in Indy, above and beyond all the hype. We'll talk about them on today's show. Guest: Dan Kadar of SB Nation.

10 Combine Questions That Could Actually Get Answered:
* Can Deshaun Watson do anything to overcome worries about 14 clean-pocket interceptions from last year?
* Does DeShone Kizer take off? Or does someone like Pat Mahomes close the gap on him?
* The QBs sure are terrible. But what do teams think of them?
* Will Leonard Fournette's medical checkups reveal anything that could scare teams off?
* Same with Dalvin Cook's interviews (after a history with police run-ins)?
* Will John Ross run a 4.3 40, and will that change what teams think of him?
* Will Christian McCaffrey do anything athletically to convince us that he’s got "slashing" ability as a runner?
* Can Mike Williams run fast enough to avoid Laquon Treadwell "4.63" comparisons?
* Is JuJu Smith-Schuster's draft stock dependent on his 40? Same for RB D'Onta Foreman (250 pounds)?
* Will TE Adam Shaheen, from Division 2 Ashland, bust out and be the buzz of Indy.
