The WOOF is at 25 and I've started doing 25 in SP. Anyone messed around with this much?

The one quick information bit that I have from just a quick sniff test: loaded up, set accuracy to 0, imported a class of all 500 (50) QBs. As expected, combines had a wide range*. There were a few QBs in the 6.5-6.8 raw score range, and with a decent number of red combines. One guy was 4.46 dash, 46 sole, 15 str, 7.17 agi, 115brjump, 94 position drill. That's 4 reds and 2 blues. But his bars were all right around the 50-60 range and he interviewed "Overrated."

*--There's one VERY notable exception to the "wide range" comment, though: the constraints held fast, even for the lowest-tier guys that fit them. Not a single 50/50 QB--even with 0 combine accuracy--had a single combine score worse than the 4.84/28/10/100/67 thresholds. I didn't check other positions, but that's very interesting to note for QBs.

So, not even the Combine Accuracy Slider dares mess with the almighty Malcpow ;)

What is the meanning of the 100?? 10´0´´ Broad Jump? :popcorn:

100-inch broad jump, which is 8'4'.

Actually, the QB threshold for broad jumps according to The Holy Grail of FOF Drafting (http://www.operationsports.com/fofc/showthread.php?t=72313&highlight=combine+benchmarks) is 102, or 8'6.

What about the agility Drill??

Oh, I guess I'd say 7.8 for that one. But you can see it's a little more forgiving.

Perhaps this is a bit too micro, but are their certain combines more susceptible to noise/inaccuracy than others?

As an anecdotal example, I feel like I see 3-4 QB's every year with red position drill scores. Unless they're near the top of the class, however, the player is usually flotsam. I feel like red bench press or agility drill is rarer. Again, all anecdotal thoughts.
