flgreen Posted January 27, 2016 Author Share Posted January 27, 2016 Kyle Crabbs’ Senior Bowl Recap: Day 1 Written by Kyle Crabbs on January 26, 2016 Today was the first time I’ve tasted Mobile, Alabama in all of it’s glory. The entire atmosphere here is overwhelming; there are NFL executives and head coaches at every turn. NFL legends like Dan Marino and NCAA powerhouses like Nick Saban and Dabo Swinney also made appearances today. Having drank in every single moment of my first day, I’m now ready to summarize and provide each of you with what I saw so that you too may enjoy the day’s events. Weigh ins started at 8:30 AM CST sharp; it was just as much of a meat market as you would expect it to be. Several players answered questions about their frames, while others introduced doubt. For the record (and I tweeted as much this morning), weigh ins and measurements are not meant to be a criticism of a 6’7 player coming in at 6’5 and a half. The critical aspect of measurements and weigh ins is this: “Do they meet the minimum thresholds for their positions?” With that in mind, a big winner and big loser: Winner: EDGE Dadi Nicolas, Virginia Tech (6030, 235, 10.5″ hand, 35.25″ arm) Nicolas played small at VT, in part because he *is* small for a defensive pass rusher. However, he’s far too small to regularly be lining up in interior gaps, which is where he was used frequently. Nicolas came in with an incredible wingspan (81.38″) and a frame that carried 235 lbs very well. Length is a requirement when playing along the LOS and Nicolas’ 35+” arms are extremely helpful and promising projecting his development in the future. Nicolas now needs to flash on the field to generate some positive momentum that his measurements have opened the door for. Loser: CB Jonathan Jones, Auburn (5085, 178, 8.63″, 30.0″ arm) Jones comes in under 5’9″ and under 180 lbs. Hands are small and arms are notably short. This is a player that is going to struggle playing Cornerback in the NFL on a play by play basis. Not to suggest Jones can’t play in the NFL; special teams are always a viability and if duty calls on defense…duty calls. But likely a majority of teams will have a hard time considering any notable investments into Jones as a result of a failure to measure up to the standard thresholds of the position when playing at the highest level. Today’s two practices offered unique perspectives. The South practice was a zoo, hundreds of coaches, executives and media loaded onto the sidelines to watch up close and personal. Meanwhile, the North was viewed from a more macro-perspective, where I watched from the 50 yard line about 20 rows up. In short summary: The North squad is LOADED with high end prospects. The 5 who stood out the most to me today: DL Jihad Ward, Illinois – Ward, as I stated on Twitter, was the most impressive defensive player on the field for either team. His natural athleticism, crisp and efficient movements skills and active hands made him a handful for the likes of Joe Haeg and Jason Spriggs (who I’m leaning towards as a 1st RD caliber OT). Ward weighed in at 6051, 296 lbs with 33.63″ arms. Ward was on my list but not particularly high on my priority watches. That is no longer the case. CB Tavon Young, Temple – Young was a name I mentioned on the Periscope Joe Marino hosted as we finished the last leg of our drive to Mobile. Every time I watched Temple’s defense (be it for one of their players or an opponent) Young would pop several times. He’s a bit on the smaller side at 5093, 180 lbs but he’s incredibly agile and his short area acceleration gives him some notable pop when meeting receivers or ball carriers in the “D gap” or in coverage as an over top defender. TE Nick Vannett, Ohio State – Vannett was impressive working in all the kinds of roles he did not get to showcase at Ohio State. He worked up the seam and regularly separated against a talented LB group for the North Squad. Seeing him handle Carl Nassib one on one in pass protection on more than one occasion was both impressive for him and disappointing for Nassib. Vannett was a bit too physical at the top of his stem today but he appeared to reel it in and the natural athleticism that was a bit hidden as a Buckeye really started to shine. QB Carson Wentz, North Dakota State – Wentz is a player I’ve resisted fully embracing since last summer. He’s got some questions that I’m never going to be able to answer or feel confident about. But as practice settled in today, so did Wentz. A few mistimed throws to receivers that he’d never thrown to before aside, Wentz really started to zip the ball around. Easily got back away from center. Threw with timing. The thing that stood out the most to me was his arm is much more live in person than I can ever recall it being on tape. Ball trajectory n throws to the far side of the field was notably flatter (better zip/velocity) than any of the other Quarterbacks on the North roster. That alone will cause me to go back and double check the tape on Wentz…and that’s a ‘Win’ on the day for him. DB Cyrus Jones, Alabama – Jones is very well built for his frame (5096, 196, 9.25″ hand, 31.25″ arm) and showed physicality, ball skills and impressive foot efficiency in WR/DB one on one drills today. Jones handled all comers well and was also able to play out from underneath of his base of support as footing started to deteriorate deeper into practice thanks to intermittent rain showers.

flgreen Posted January 27, 2016 Author Share Posted January 27, 2016 Senior Bowl Week: Tuesday Observations Posted 4 hours ago Pete SweeneyChiefs ReporterChiefs.comEmail @pgsween The Reese’s Senior Bowl began on Tuesday in Mobile, Alabama Reese’s Senior Bowl week kicked off in Mobile, Alabama, with practices on Tuesday. The Senior Bowl will air from Ladd-Peebles Stadium at 1:30 p.m. CT this Saturday on the NFL Network. 1. We started with the weigh-inTuesday began with a traditional weigh-in. A group totaling more than 1,000 members of every NFL personnel staff filled an auditorium as each one of the 110 Senior Bowl participants walked across the stage to be measured and weighed. North team Lightest: Oklahoma State defensive back Kevin Peterson (173 pounds)Heaviest: Louisiana Tech defensive tackle Vernon Butler (325 pounds)Shortest: Temple defensive back Tavon Young (5 feet 9 inches)Tallest: Penn State defensive end Carl Nassib (6 feet 6 inches)South teamLightest: Auburn defensive back Jonathan Jones (178 pounds)Heaviest: Clemson defensive tackle DJ Reader (340 pounds)Shortest: Texas Tech running back DeAndre Washington (5 feet 7 inches)Tallest: Baylor defensive end Shawn Oakman (6 feet 7 inches) South team practice observations Once the weigh-in was over, the event moved to Fairhope Stadium for the South team's first practice. 2. The Jacksonville Jaguars staff is coaching the South teamFor the fourth consecutive season, the Jacksonville Jaguars coaching staff is leading a team at the Senior Bowl. This could prove to be an advantage for the Jaguars franchise, as the coaches are given a firsthand look at some of the best seniors in the country. The Jaguars select at number 5 this year’s NFL Draft. 3. Shorts and shells on day one Both the South team and the North team opted to start the week of practices wearing shorts and shells rather than full pads. This was likely in an effort to ease into the week and learn the basic schemes headed into Saturday’s game. 4. Shawn Oakman of the South team is a “giant amongst men”Baylor’s Oakman is the tallest member of the South team at 6 feet 7 inches, and he has long arms that serve like clubs when he is going through pad drills. In addition to that, during the weigh-in portion of the day, he appeared to have very little sloppiness—an impressive frame. 5. Eastern Kentucky’s Noah Spence made an impression on several of the best draft analysts in attendance Just based on his weigh-in alone, Eastern Kentucky’s Noah Spence became someone to watch at this year’s Senior Bowl. All practice long, Spence showed an ability to move quickly and forcefully, and he looked dominant in one-on-one drills with his offensive line opponents. 6. Missouri offensive lineman Connor McGovern left practice early due to injury and did not return Missouri’s Connor McGovern hurt himself during drills early during the South team's practice and did not return. It’s uncertain if he will available for Wednesday’s practices and the rest of the week moving forward. 7. A familiar face in the football world made it out to Senior Bowl practice North team practice observations 8. Wide receiver Braxton Miller turned heads Ohio State’s Braxton Miller was one of the stars of the North practice, showing impressive speed and an ability to run a variety of routes well. At one point during practice, Miller laid out for a ball in the end zone, reminiscent of Chiefs wide receiver Jeremy Maclin during training camp. While the practice certainly means more to Miller than a training camp one does to Maclin, seeing how passionate Miller in leaving it all out on the field caught the attention of scouts, analysts and personnel staff members. 9. Fun moment for Dallas Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett Towards the middle mark of the North team’s practice, Dallas Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett stopped the practice to get his players in order. He could be heard from the stands saying that he had a problem with the way the team was huddling. 10. The Senior Bowl isn’t only about the on-the-field performances Over the course of the next three nights, from Tuesday to Thursday, the 32 NFL franchise will hold both formal and informal meetings with players of their choosing at night. A third of the players will be available each night for formal interviews, beginning with quarterbacks, running backs, offensive linemen and specialists on Tuesday. SPOTLIGHT: SENIOR BOWL EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR PHIL SAVAGE Here is the situation. 110 football players need to get to Mobile, Alabama, for an event nearly a year of preparation in the making, but on the weekend before, one of the biggest snowstorms of the winter hits the east coast. That was last weekend—just a day in the life of Senior Bowl executive director Phil Savage. "Well, we're in the midst of our week now and everything's underway,” Savage said Tuesday at the Senior Bowl's media night. “We got all 110 players here after 12,000 flights were cancelled over the weekend, so that worked out well.”The snowstorm is just an example of the many things that go wrong for Savage each year, but when things do happen, he turns to his staff, a group he calls “terrific” for their flexibility and patience to make the whole thing come together. Once the players make it to Mobile, that’s when the fun begins. Many of the NFL’s most passionate fans know about the Senior Bowl, but there’s more to it than just on-the-field player evaluation. On the other side, Savage and his staff build an entire regiment to give their players a true feel for what it’s going to be like to be a professional athlete. "For us as an organization, [our focus] is their connection off the field, whether it's through the media (training), through financial education with a new partner we have in Morgan Stanley this year, whether it's the community service aspect of the game on Friday, we try to give them a glimpse, a flavor of what being a pro athlete is all about, so that they have a head start on the rest of the draft class as they go through the next three or four months." Over the years, the invite-only event has rightly become an honor among college football players, and in this particular year, Savage said that honor has reached new heights. "I was very proud of this roster because in the last two years, we've lost 28 players either through choice, or injury, or rehab situation, and this year, we only lost 16. I think the depth of this group is very strong compared to the last couple of years.” Especially in one specific position, according to Savage. “The defensive line is the group from top to bottom,” he said. “Every single player in that defensive line group that is here, I almost can guarantee they will be drafted unless they run into some sort of unexpected medical circumstance. That's Sheldon Rankins from Lousiville, it's Carl Nassib from Penn State, Jihad Ward from Illinois, Sheldon Day from Notre Dame, Jarran Reed from Alabama, it's a long list of players, so it's exciting to have that kind of quality here." The quality is here, and thanks to the Senior Bowl and the efforts of Savage and his staff, so is draft season. At the weigh-in Tuesday morning, the event he coined as “the Broadway show” of Senior Bowl week, Savage looked out and saw a full house with standing room only. He joked that next year he’ll need to provide even more seating, before affirming what the decision-makers of professional football already know to be true. “[The weigh-in] does, in fact, kick the week off,” he said. “It gets everyone focused on ‘OK, the 2016 Draft is here, and it starts in Mobile.’” Rain, shine, or snow.

And all five flashed on Tuesday during practice, especially Braxton Miller and Nick Vannett -- two players who were underutilized on offense at Ohio State. A former quarterback, Miller made the transition to wideout this past season as a senior and continues his development this week in Mobile. While still raw in several areas, Miller is on a different level athletically than the other prospects on the North team. His release off the line, short-area quickness in his breaks and long-speed to create separation routinely stood out on Tuesday. Miller also caught everything his way with elite body control and quick reflexes. Braxton Miller has impressed in Mobile. (USATSI) Miller fielded punts during drills and did a nice job tracking and receiving the punt, especially considering he doesn't have any experience as a return man. The Dallas Cowboys coaching staff spent extra time with him in this area. It's clear that he will need time to develop nuance as a route runner and improve his hand use, but while unpolished, Miller's athleticism is what scouts were buzzing about more than anything else. With only 19 catches as a senior, Vannett wasn't a main weapon for the Ohio State offense, but he played like one during practice on Tuesday. He doesn't have much shake at the top of routes to create separation, but with his strong hands and focus to finish contested catches, it didn't matter. While this isn't a deep tight end draft class, Vannett could separate himself as the top senior prospect at the position and worthy mid-round pick. The three other Ohio State players in Mobile this week - Adolphus Washington, Tyvis Powell, and Joshua Perry - all had positive practices on Tuesday, as did a former teammate at the South practice. Other North notes: The main attraction at the Senior Bowl is North Dakota State quarterback Carson Wentzand he didn't disappoint in the week's first practice. He wasn't perfect, but there was far more good than bad and he showed why there is so much buzz about him as a pro prospect. Wentz showed off his above average velocity, using his body rhythm and touch to accurately control the placement. The uptick in competition didn't throw off his timing as he was able to quickly set up and fire strikes, as well as, completing a variety of passes to unfamiliar targets. Watching Wentz interact with the Cowboys' coaches and his development throughout the week will be interesting to track but Tuesday was a strong first statement, especially with the North's other quarterbacks -- Southern Cal's Cody Kessler, Stanford's Kevin Hogan and Louisiana Tech's Jeff Driskel -- struggling in comparison. Wentz wasn't the only NDSU prospect standing out Tuesday as left tackle Joe Haegshowed impressive balance, agility and strength in pass protection against a talented North defensive line. Like his quarterback, Haeg came to Mobile needing to prove himself against FBS competition. He did precisely that, competing with Indiana's much higher-rated Jason Spriggs to emerge as the North's most consistent pass blocker Tuesday. While Wentz impressed with his ball placement, he and the rest of the North's quarterbacks had several passes batted away by an aggressive secondary. With the Dallas coaches rather than referees "calling" the practice, cornerbacks were not surprisingly a bit hands-on with receivers with several riding would-be pass-catchers throughout their routes. Temple'sTavon Young, however, showed terrific timing and closing speed to break up multiple passes, ripping at the ball as it arrived. At just 5-9 (and 3/8") and 180 pounds, Young isn't imposing but he is scrappy, projecting best as a nickel or dime defender in the NFL. Louisiana Tech defensive tackle Vernon Butler was a tough man to contain in one-on-one drills, using his short area quickness and powerful upper body to force his way to the pocket. His long arms allow him to rag doll blockers once he gets them off-balance. *Rob Rang contributed to this report http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/nfl-draft-scout/25463285/senior-bowl-ohio-state-commands-tuesdays-north-practice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flgreen Posted January 27, 2016 Author Share Posted January 27, 2016 NFLDraftScout.com 2016 Senior Bowl: Spence, Reed make strong impressions at South practice By Rob Rang | The Sports Xchange/CBSSports.com January 26, 2016 7:31 PM ET MOBILE, Ala. -- Eastern Kentucky edge rusher Noah Spence wasted little time in capturing the attention of NFL scouts Tuesday with the former Ohio State star showing an explosive burst upfield... and a temper to go along with it. Spence had to be physically separated from Georgia tackle John Theus on two separate occasions and sparked confrontations from a few other offensive linemen during a spirited South team practice to officially kick off the 2016 Senior Bowl. Spence, a former five star recruit kicked out at Columbus due to repeated failed drug tests, has worked hard to rebuild the trust of NFL scouts. His actions Tuesday were seen as evidence of passion and competitiveness from scouts rather than as a red flag - perhaps, in part, because he played so well. After measuring in a touch under 6-foot-3, 254 pounds, Spence showed off his trademark burst and agility off the edge, repeatedly getting the best of the South's tackles. He also showed impressive strength to hold up at the point of attack in the running game, anchoring well and slipping off blocks to harass running backs. While Spence was the standout edge rusher during Tuesday's initial practice for the South team, it was another star from the south blowing things up on the inside - much to the delight of the largely Crimson Tide faithful at Fairhope Stadium. Showing off the same power and tenacity which helped Alabama win another national championship, versatile defensive lineman Jarran Reed consistently stood up would-be blockers at the line of scrimmage, bottling up the running game. At 6-foot-3, 311 pounds, Reed has the girth and strength to line up virtually anywhere along the defensive line, making him a fit for 3-4 and 4-3 teams, alike, and the projected first round pick arguably the top traditional defensive linemen invited to this year's Senior Bowl. Among other notes from Tuesday's South Team practice: Jarran Reed has impressed in Mobile. (USATSI) * After turning heads by measuring in with the longest arms of any player invited to the 2016 Senior Bowl, Texas Tech left tackle Le'Raven Clark also showed surprisingly nimble feet, showing enough agility to block most edge rushers (including Spence, at times) and getting to the second level as a run blocker. Given how relatively rarely Clark was asked to run block in Tech's pass-happy spread offense, he can help his NFL stock this week by continuing to impress in this area, even if he lacks the power as a drive blocker scouts would prefer. * It was strange to see a Michigan Wolverine on the South squad but after a terrific week of practice at the East-West Shrine Game, Graham Glasgow continued his steady performance while working at center Tuesday. Glasgow was officially listed by the Senior Bowl as a guard for this week though he played center at Michigan and during the Shrine game. He may be asked to slide outside to guard with Missouri's Connor McGovern going down with what appeared to be a leg injury. * Given that he possesses the most imposing build of any prospect invited to this year's game, there is sure to be plenty of attention heaped upon Baylor defensive end Shawn Oakman but Tuesday he struggled to take advantage of the moment, generating less power than his rocked-up 6-foot-7 (and a 1/2"), 269 pound frame would suggest. Oakman frequently loses the battle of leverage because of his height, high pad level and limited flexibility. * Just as Oakman generates buzz because of his build, Kansas State tight end Glenn Gronkowski will receive plenty of fanfare because of his famous older brother, Rob, the New England Patriots' All-Pro. While not the same caliber of prospect as his sibling, Gronkowski did enjoy a solid first practice, showing crisp footwork and soft hands during drills. http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/nfl-draft-scout/25463250/senior-bowl-spence-reed-make-powerful-first-impression-at-south-practice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While not the same caliber of prospect as his sibling, Gronkowski did enjoy a solid first practice, showing crisp footwork and soft hands during drills. http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/nfl-draft-scout/25463250/senior-bowl-spence-reed-make-powerful-first-impression-at-south-practice

flgreen Posted January 27, 2016 Author Share Posted January 27, 2016 2016 Senior Bowl Practice Report This is Charlie Campbell's Tuesday 2016 Senior Bowl Practice Report. Charlie is reporting live from Mobile, Ala., and he'll describe what he sees at practice and whom certain prospects talk to all week. If you want to see other 2016 Senior Bowl Reports, click the link. Follow me @walterfootball for updates, and stay tuned all week for tons of 2016 Senior Bowl coverage. 2016 Senior Bowl: Tuesday Practice Report By Charlie Campbell - @draftcampbell The South team took to a high school field in Fairhope, Alabama for their first practice of the Senior Bowl. The Jacksonville Jaguars coaching staff ran the practice and will coach them all week. The Jaguars staff had the players practicing in shells (shorts, shoulder pads and helmets). The South started the session with some install and work in individual position groups. After that, they did a few one-on-one sessions, a few periods of special teams work and a team scrimmage. Shortly after the South practice ended, the North practice began across the bridge at Ladd-Peebles Stadium. The distance combined with the traffic resulted in only a third of the North practice being seen. Here is a run-down of the noteworthy players. The players who were the most impressive were along the defensive line. Of that group, the two who stood out the most were Ohio State defensive tackle Adolphus Washington and Louisiana Tech defensive tackle Vernon Butler. Washington dominated the one-on-ones with speed, power, and speed-to-power. Among the players whom he destroyed were Iowa center Austin Blythe and Washington State guard/tackle Joe Dahl. Dahl saw Washington blow by him on his first rep before bull rushing Dahl into the quarterback marker on the rematch. The only lineman who somewhat slowed down Washington was Stanford's Joshua Garnett. The Cardinal guard lost one rep as Washington flew by him, but on the rematch, he held up Washington after he managed some good penetration into the pocket. That rep was more of a draw. Washington has a first-round skill set with speed, power, athleticism and the versatility to line up in a variety of places up front. To end his collegiate career, he had an arrest for solicitation, so his interviews are critically important. His practice was tremendous. Butler was also phenomenal. He used speed to fire by Michigan State Jack Allen. Butler displayed speed-to-power to dispense Western Michigan's Willie Beavers and raced like a lightning bolt to fly by Beavers. This start serves to confirm the early round projections of Butler. He has a stout build yet is very fast. Penn State defensive end Carl Nassib was impressive in the one-on-ones. He got the better of Stanford tackle Kyle Murphy on multiple reps. Nassib was too fast around the corner for Murphy. Nassib also showed a nice ability to drop his hips to get turned to the quarterback. Illinois defensive end Jihad Ward also had a nice practice. He used speed to get by Murphy on a few snaps. Ward dropped North Dakota State tackle Joe Haeg on two reps with a swim move and a rush to the inside that caused Haeg to hold him. Murphy and Haeg really struggled to open their Senior Bowl week. Ward is an impressive athlete. Temple defensive tackle Matt Ioannidis had a quality practice. He had some good battles against Notre Dame center Nick Martin as they split some reps. Stanford guard Joshua Garnett had a win versus Ioannidis. In the team scrimmage, Ioannidis beat Beavers to get a sack of Jeff Driskel. Among the impressive linemen was Alabama defensive tackle Jarran Reed. He showed impressive power to rush through LSU guard/tackle Vadal Alexander. Reed's strength overwhelmed Missouri guard Connor McGovern in the run-scrimmage one-on-ones. In the pass-rushing one-on-ones, Reed split some reps with Arkansas guard Sebastian Tretola. One play saw Reed win with a second effort. There was another play in the running-based nine-on-nine session where Alexander pushed Reed out of his gap, but overall, Reed was rock solid throughout this practice and looks ready to contribute immediately in the NFL. Virginia Tech edge rusher Dadi Nicolas had a nice practice. He easily got the better of Alexander and Baylor tackle Spencer Drango with speed around the corner in the pass-rushing one-on-ones. Drango got revenge on some run plays when he ran over Nicolas. To start his NFL career, Nicolas looks like a situational pass-rusher. Sources say they see him in that role and a potential mid-rounder. Drango also had problems blocking BYU defensive end Bronson Kaufusi. He used a swim move to beat Drango, while Georgia linebacker Jordan Jenkins used speed around the corner to get the better of Drango. That being said, Drango was very good in the run-scrimmage one-on-ones. He was firing out of his stance and rocking defenders. For the next level, Drango looks like he needs to move inside to guard. That would help him to use more of his strengths and hide his weaknesses. Drango would definitely be a much better fit there than on the edge. Eastern Kentucky edge rusher Noah Spence had a strong first session. He split time between working with the linebackers and the defensive linemen. In the pass-rushing one-on-ones, Spence really shined as used his speed to fly around Texas Tech left tackle Le'Raven Clark on a few reps. Clark did get the better of Spence when he got his hands on the speedy defender and rode him around the pocket. Spence needs to add strength for the NFL. He is extremely dangerous when linemen don't get their hands on him as he is too quick to go by them. When they get their hands on him, Spence lacks the power to shed. He will need more developmental time in a 4-3 defense and would fit well in a 3-4 scheme. While Clark lost some reps to Spence, he had a solid first day and flashed on some other reps. Clark dispatched Baylor's Shawn Oakman by pushing him to the inside. Clark showed some quick feet to negate a speed rush from Oklahoma's Charles Tapper, but Tapper won the rematch with a bull rush. During the team scrimmage, Clark had a few good blocks downfield to help spring long runs for the offense. Michigan center/guard Graham Glasgow was one of the stars of the East-West Shrine, and he had a respectable first day at the Senior Bowl. He split one-on-one pass-rushing reps with Louisville defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins. When Rankins used a speed rush to try to run by Glasgow, the Wolverine just pummeled him into the turf with authority. On the rematch, Rankins burned Glasgow with a spin move. Still, it is impressive for a center to be able to block a defensive tackle in one-on-ones as centers are typically helping to execute a double team on a sub-package interior rusher. Glasgow is having a tremendous postseason to set his draft stock on fire. A good contrast could be seen in Missouri center/guard Evan Boehm. He was absolutely abused by Rankins with a speed rush. Alabama's Jarran Reed overwhelmed Boehm with power, and he was incapable of keeping Reed from charging down the pocket. Boehm really struggled in his first Senior Bowl practice. Kansas State offensive tackle Cody Whitehair battled well, winning some and losing some. He had wins going against Oklahoma's Charles Tapper as he stopped a spin move and held up a rush to the inside. The second one may have been called a hold. Whitehair showed some strength in a win over Maryland's Quinton Jefferson. Whitehair would be best on the inside at guard, but has the flexibility to move to tackle during a game if an injury hits his team. At the very least, he could be a valuable backup as a rookie. Of the South quarterbacks, N.C. State's Jacoby Brissett looked like the most natural passer compared to Arkansas' Brandon Allen and Mississippi State's Dak Prescott. Brissett made some nice throws downfield to place his passes well in the one-on-ones between the receivers and defensive backs. I can't give a good comment on the North quarterbacks because the majority of practice wasn't seen, but in the team scrimmage and the seven-on-seven, North Dakota State's Carson Wentz made some nice throws. Wentz threw a pretty strike on a post route in the middle of the field to Rutgers wide receiver Leonte Carroo. Virginia cornerback Maurice Canady was a step behind Carroo, but he forced a fumble by slapping the ball out of Carroo's hands; it was recovered by the defense. The number of reps the North quarterbacks get is down because they have four signal-callers on the roster. One of those quarterbacks should have been playing at the East-West Shrine last week. There was one who stood out for that in particular. Against the better competition it was no surprise that Driskel looked more like the Florida Jeff Driskel than the Louisiana Tech version. He took some sacks and wasn't impressive as a passer. During the team scrimmage, he held onto the ball far too long. On one play, he took what would have been a coverage sack from Jihad Ward before throwing a pass to a blanketed check-down that was batted in the air, but luckily caught by a receiver. Driskel looks like an undrafted free agent. West Virginia safety K.J. Dillon laid a bone-rattling hit on a running back during the team scrimmage. It was the biggest hit of the day. Baylor defensive end Shawn Oakman did not look good. He didn't impress in the one-on-ones or in the team scrimmage. Oakman is a physical specimen, and that has led to him being overhyped, but he was not effective on Tuesday at the Senior Bowl. Conversely for the Bears, Baylor wide receiver Jay Lee had a nice practice. He caught a back-shoulder throw from Brissett for a good completion downfield with Samford's James Bradberry in coverage. Lee ran by Auburn's Jonathan Jones on a deep post for a long completion lofted in by Arkansas' Brandon Allen. It was a strong start to the week for Lee. Alabama cornerback Cyrus Jones had a rough start. He did well running with Clemson's Charone Peake downfield to break up a pass, but then Peake got over the top on him for a pretty over-the-shoulder grab. During the team scrimmage, Jones blew coverage in zone and allowed fullback Glenn Gronkowski to get wide open along the sideline for a chunk completion. Jones was mad at himself after that play. For the NFL, he looks like a backup and special teamer. Crimson Tide running back Kenyon Drake had a strong start to the week. He showed his speed when he took a dump-off pass from Dak Prescott for a long gain down the sideline. There is no doubt that Drake has a skill set for the pro game, but he had durability issues in college, so his NFL Scouting Combine medical check will be critical, and the injury concerns could really hurt his draft stock. Two small school defensive backs who could rise this week are Samford's James Bradberry and Northern Iowa's Deiondre' Hall. Hall is very physical and put a licking on a running back in the tackle box after flying over from the sideline. Bradberry had a nice hit as well. Hall was more sound in pass coverage as Bradberry allowed some receptions, but both players have a good skill set and a gritty style of play. Georgia tackle John Theus really struggled on Tuesday. His feet looked like they were stuck in concrete on speed rushes from Oklahoma linebacker Eric Striker. Striker easily blew by Theus as did other pass-rushers. Sources say that Theus has graded out as a late-rounder because he isn't strong or athletic, just big.

flgreen Posted January 27, 2016 Author Share Posted January 27, 2016 NFL Draft: Five players to watch at the 2016 Senior Bowl 44SHARES SHARE TWEET EMAIL By: turondavenport | 42 minutes ago The Jets put together a solid season in their first year under head coach Todd Bowles. They just missed the playoffs, but they still have plenty to build on for the upcoming season. The 2016 NFL Draft will be a great opportunity for the Jets to add to their roster. The Reese’s Senior Bowl offers an opportunity to watch prospects practice and meet with them as well. Here are five prospects to keep an eye on as Senior Bowl week unfolds: Kyle Murphy RT Stanford Murphy comes from a school that has pumped out a long line of offensive linemen. He is a right tackle and has plenty of experience blocking in a run oriented offense. At 6-6, 300 pounds Murphy is a good drive blocker that will move the pile. He comes off of his initial block and finds a new target at the second level. The Jets will need to address right tackle and Murphy can at the very least compete for a starting spot as a rookie. Noah Spence OLB/DE Eastern Kentucky Spence is one of the more electrifying pass rushers in Mobile. He dominated at Eastern Kentucky after transferring from Ohio State. Spence had 11.5 sacks last season along with 22.5 tackles for a loss. Spence can rush the passer from both defensive end positions and as a standup pass rusher. He gets off the ball really well and uses leverage to get pressure off the edge. Spence would give the Jets a much needed presence off the edge that can generate instant pressure on the quarterback. Tyler Ervin RB San Jose State Ervin is considered by some to be a small running back because of his 5-1o, 177 pound frame. He played most of the season at 184 pounds and checked in at 192 pounds during Senior Bowl weigh-ins. Ervin made a living running between the tackles at San Jose State. The all-purpose back was also given plenty of opportunities to make plays in space. Ervin is a game breaking returner as well. The Jets could use a player like Ervin that can be used in a package of plays to take advantage of matchups against linebackers in coverage. Reggie Ragland LB Alabama Ragland is a thumper at middle linebacker. He is a sure tackler that has a nose for the football. Ragland was the leader of Alabama’s defense and a unanimous first team all-american. He will look to showcase his pass rushing skills by lining up at outside linebacker in Mobile. Ragland would add to a group of inside linebackers led by David Harris would and give the Jets their future defensive captain Nick Martin OG Notre Dame Martin played center for Notre Dame last season. His older brother Zach is an all-pro guard for the Dallas Cowboys. Nick Martin can play multiple positions along the line just like his brother. Martin was the leader of an offensive line that nearly produced two 1,000-yard rushers and had the most individual 100-yard rushing games in school history. The Jets can add a player that can compete for a starting spot at guard and eventually move to center to replace Nick Mangold. *** Turron Davenport is the NFL Draft analyst for Jets Wire.

flgreen Posted January 27, 2016 Author Share Posted January 27, 2016 Senior Bowl darling Carson Wentz seeing his draft hype go a bit too far January 27, 2016 11:39am ESTJanuary 27, 2016 11:39am ESTIt's time for a reality check: Quarterback Carson Wentz's NFL Draft hype is overblown and premature. NFL SHARE TWEET EMAIL Carson Wentz(Getty Images) By Eric GalkoContributor @OptimumScouting Updated at 11:39 a.m. ET With Michigan State’s Connor Cook opting out of the 2016 Senior Bowl and the junior quarterbacks in the 2016 NFL Draft class ineligible, North Dakota State’s Carson Wentz has become the focal point of the week’s events. And Senior Bowl president Phil Savage wasted no time in building excitement for the event’s best passer. “Within the last two weeks, I had two phone calls from (NFL personnel) friends of mine saying that Wentz isn't just a first-rounder, he's going in the 10, so there's a real buzz about him,” Savage said at the opening press conference for the event. A statement like that immediately thrust Wentz’s media hype into overdrive, with everyone playing catch-up on who Carson Wentz is, how he became a top NFL prospect and whether he could actually emerge as a top-10 draft pick. MORE: Top Senior Bowl prospects by position | Latest 2016 NFL Mock Draft The former lightly recruited high school quarterback landed his best scholarship opportunity North Dakota State with some promise that he could lead the FCS powerhouse at some point, but never with serious aspirations of NFL potential. As Wentz grew more comfortable in the Bison offense, North Dakota State began giving him more opportunities to test his tremendous arm talent within their run-heavy offense. In his senior season, Wentz appeared poised for a breakout season before a wrist injury forced him to miss much of the second half of the year. But he returned for the team’s FCS National Championship game, leading North Dakota to their fifth straight title. But the three-time FCS National Champion has transitioned from winning small school passer to now being considered a potential franchise quarterback by some in the media and in the NFL. Wentz possesses a live arm, athleticism as a runner and is mobile thrower with strong velocity control to complete passes between zone coverages. He offers impressive traits and ample tools to work with. But despite the ongoing narrative, he’s not a top-10 quarterback prospect. MORE: Best No. 1 NFL picks in history Even after just a day of Senior Bowl practices, it is clear that Wentz's vertical placement, anticipation and timing on a multitude of routes are issues. He had at least three errant throws, all a result of a lack of comfort making all the throws in contexts outside of his college offense. And to further dissuade the first-round hype, it’s important to note that Wentz has thrown just 612 passes in his college career. By comparison, Jared Goff of California threw 529 passes in 2015 alone. Drawing similarities to former Texas A&M and current Dolphins starter Ryan Tannehill, Wentz is a still-developing quarterback who may be over-drafted and rushed in the NFL despite clearly needing time to develop at the college level. The Senior Bowl scrutiny and media attention won’t benefit his development any, as expectations are sky high for the former small school quarterback. Wentz needs to prove he can quickly grow comfortable away from his run-heavy, one-on-one matchup offense in college and adjust to the receivers and talent around him. With the Cowboys coaching the North squad, likely not by accident, Wentz’s performance on and off the field with that coaching staff could truly be the difference in whether he’s a top-20 pick or not. Dallas fits Wentz’s skill set the best, and there’s mutual interest on behalf of the Cowboys. Wentz is a fine quarterback prospect who, in time, could become a quality NFL passer, not unlike Tannehill. But with first-round hype, top-10 expectations and tremendous pressure already in the draft process, it’s time to temper expectations on the quarterback draft darling of the 2016 Senior Bowl.
