Senior Bowl

I think the actual game is a week from today, but they will also be televising practices during the upcoming week as they've done in past years. The one-on-ones during practice are often better than the game.

 

[WolverineFan]

Eric Kendricks has withdrawn because of injury and Kevin White and Bud Dupree have withdrawn with no reason given. Probably to protect draft status as both are considered 1st round picks.

Sucks because I was interested to see all 3. Still though, this should be a pretty good Senior Bowl. A lot of talent at the event this year.

 

[Playoffs]

There's a lot of disappointing SB declines this year. I'll have the list next week but hate that Hundley declined to compete. Fisher, Grasu, White, Erving, Smith, Dawson, Kendricks, Wilson... to name a few others I was hoping to see.

I don't blame them one bit, because look what happened to Teddy Bridgewater last year in part because of just a disappointing Pro Day.

Easier to get around skipping Senior Bowl than your Pro-day!

What happened with Bridgewater was the same thing that happened to Reggie Bush. The result of media hype clashing with old traditional beliefs. Reggie Bush was without a doubt an extremely dynamic player at the college level, arguably unparalleled athleticism. But he had the body of a scat back. A third down back, a change of pace back.

We didn't take him, because he wasn't worthy of the #1 overall pick. New Orleans did & sure enough, he proved he was not a bell cow, in fact he avoided running between the tackles as if he were scared.

Most QBs Bridgewater's size struggle to stay healthy & productive in the NFL.

Bush dropped all the way to the 2nd pick of the draft. Not saying there wasn't media hype. I don't remember an inordinate amount of hype surrounding Bridgewater. Not at the Manziel or Bush level, anyway. And who are these Bridgewater-sized QBs that can't stay healthy?

Bush dropped all the way to the 2nd pick of the draft.

& proved to be no more than a change of pace back. Not the work-horse traditionally drafted with a top 10 pick.

If we did not have a need at QB, I doubt Bridgewater ever would have been mentioned as a possible #1 overall pick. He was the best QB of that class, but not a #1 overall. Several QB needy teams passed on him.

Ok, but just be clear....Bush and Bridgewater's draft situations weren't similar, and there's no evidence that QBs of Bridgewater's stature are inherently injury prone.

I believe there was similarities. Media talking them up, raising their stock higher than they ever should have been. Reggie didn't all as far Bridgewater, but his performance in New Orleans was a big disappointment. It would not have been had New Orleans not fallen for the hype, stuck to the basics & let him fall.

Had the media not hyped Bridgewater, his fall would not have been such a surprise.

& no there's no evidence of QBs of Bridgewater's stature being injury prone any more than there is evidence of 4'8" 120 lb QBs in the league. They usually don't make it past the collegiate level.

What gives you the impression that TB is so much smaller than all quarterbacks in nfl history?

You can believe all you want. But there's nothing to your Bush/Bridgewater analogy. And I can type a list a mile long of QBs of Bridgewater's size (or smaller ) that have flourished in the NFL.

You do know neither was drafted with the #1 overall right? Neither was drafted in the first round.

My argument is not that we shouldn't have drafted Bridgewater, just that we shouldn't have drafted him with the #1 overall.

I've stated many times I would have been giddy had we drafted him with #33 & I wouldn't have been upset in any way had we traded up to get him after he fell past 20.

You're moving the target. You said they get injured and don't make it in the NFL.

Let's just say that scouts start with 6'5" 230lbs as prototypical for a reason.

That's you. I've never heard a scout ding someone for being 6'4" for that matter can't recall any for 6'3".

But you do 6'2" right?

[WolverineFan]

Quinten Rollins is a very interesting case. He excelled at both football and basketball in high school but went the basketball route in college. Switched to football for his final year.

He has great size at 6-0, 205 lbs and had great production this year with 72 tackles, 7 picks, and 9 pass breakups. Was named the MAC Defensive Player of the Year in his first year of collegiate football.

If he has a good Senior Bowl and Combine he could find himself in the top 75 picks of the draft. I'm betting he wasn't expecting that when he originally switched over.

 

[IDEXAN]

What happened with Bridgewater was the same thing that happened to Reggie Bush. /QUOTE]

I really don't know what you mean by that Comment ?
The thing with Bridgewater was that he was clearly the highest rated QB at the end of last years college season, where we are right now in the current college season, but then he had a very underwhelming Pro Day and his stock never stopped dropping before he almost fell out of the first round in the Draft after Bortels was the first QB taken with the #2 overall pick.
Bush had a Pro Day and did well and of course he's not nor never was a QB.
In other words Bush and Teddy B. are apples and oranges.

 

[bah007]

I don't see this Bush/Bridgewater comparison at all.

If anything, Bush/Manziel would be the closest thing to making the point I think you're trying to make.

[mussop]

These are guys I have watched film on and my opinion of them and where their value would be for the Texans.

La’el Collins, OL, Louisiana State
And
T.J. Clemmings, OL, Pittsburgh

The two best OTs in the draft. The more I watch Clemmings the more I like him. Either one of these guys start day 1 at RT for us and would be worthy of pick 16. I could easily see either of these guys taking over for Brown at LT in a few years.


Danny Shelton, DT, Washington
Not another NT in this draft that can make a difference in the pass rush. We could do a lot worse than putting this guy next to Watt. Even if nix comes back and looks good you can't go wrong having a solid rotation of good big DL. In fact if Nix did come back and look good I could see a starting DL of Watt, Shelton and Nix. This could go a long way in improving our not so good run defense. Defiantly worth the 16th pick.

Ty Sambrailo, OT, Colorado State
Not impressed with this guy at all. Looks like a guard playing OT to me.

Denzel Perryman, ILB, Miami(FL)
This years Chris Borland. A little undersized so people will place him lower than he deserves. Not as good as Borland but close. I hear people say he isn't a three down LB and I don't get it. Every game I watched he was excellent in pass coverage. Very instinctive, very physical and plays with fire. I wouldn't think twice about drafting him at 16. Day 1 starter over Cushing.


Rashad Greene, WR, Florida State
Would love to see this guy in the slot. But not before the third round.


Vince Mayle, WR, Washington State
I really like this guy. Smooth route runner with good size. If White and Parker are gone at 16 this guy in the second would be good value if WR is high on your list.

Bryce Petty, QB, Baylor
Wow how this guy has fallen.

Carl Davis, DT, Iowa
Not impressed by film so far. Only watched two games. Looks like nothing moor than a run plugging two gap NT. No explosion or real push.


Hau’oli Kikaha, DE/OLB, Washington
Like this guy a lot but not at 16. Consistent high effort guy.

Devin Smith, WR, Ohio State
Reminds me of TY Hilton. Always seems to be behind the defense. Just don't know if he can run routes good enough to warrant anything more than a third round pick. If he can show he can run the route tree well he easily would be worthy of our second round pick.


Tyler Lockett, WR, Kansas State
Another guy I would love seeing take over the slot. Really good route runner and returns kicks. Third round comp pick????

From the link, I haven't seen it posted elsewhere.

• One team that could be major players in free agency are the Houston Texans. For years now, the Texans have been up against the cap and that caused them to be unable to sign some of their good home-grown talents like Glover Quin and Connor Barwin. Quin was one of the league leaders in interceptions, while Barwin produced a nice sack total for the Eagles. Houston now enters the offseason with a lot of cap space and will probably clear up more. It sounds like linebacker Brian Cushing could be restructured in order to stay with the team. Also, tight end Garrett Graham could be candidate for the same thing. Don't be surprised if the Texans are active in signing a number of veterans this March.

I thought Smith had us in cap hell?

Quinten Rollins is a very interesting case. He excelled at both football and basketball in high school but went the basketball route in college. Switched to football for his final year.

He has great size at 6-0, 205 lbs and had great production this year with 72 tackles, 7 picks, and 9 pass breakups. Was named the MAC Defensive Player of the Year in his first year of collegiate football.

If he has a good Senior Bowl and Combine he could find himself in the top 75 picks of the draft. I'm betting he wasn't expecting that when he originally switched over.

Rollins is an excellent choice especially if he does not have to start and can work in. #16 WR Parker #48 FS Cody Prewitt #80 CB Quinton Rollins #112 OT Jamil Douglas #144 OLB Max Valles #176 ILB/OLB Jake Ryan #208 C/OG Jake Smith (OG for Bridgewater prior to C '14).

McShay: Top NFL prospects at Senior Bowl

...
Most to gain
Bryce Petty, QB, Baylor
...
He has outstanding character and football intelligence, and he will win over the coaching staff during meetings. He also has good size, arm strength and enough mobility. What I'm looking to see out of Petty is his ability to read coverages while dropping from under center (which he rarely ever did at Baylor), and whether he can show good anticipation on intermediate and vertical throws in a more pro-style offense.

T.J. Clemmings, OT, Pittsburgh

He was the most improved player in college football this season who I studied on tape. He played only two seasons of high school football, then played defensive end at Pitt prior to making a full-time move to offensive tackle in 2013.

Clemmings has prototypical size for the tackle position with long arms and a solid base, and he's an easy mover for his size who is athletic enough to develop into a starting left tackle in the NFL. A strong showing versus top pass-rushers such as Nate Orchard and Hau-oli Kikaha in practice this week could earn Clemmings a spot in the top 15 picks in the draft.

Quinten Rollins, CB, Miami (OH)

Rollins was a basketball star at Miami, becoming one of only 15 players in MAC history to finish with more than 200 career steals. He played only one season of football, in 2014, and picked off seven passes en route to being named MAC Defensive Player of the Year.

This week provides Rollins with a great opportunity to show scouts his ability to match up one-on-one with some future NFL wide receivers such as Devin Smith and Ty Montgomery. With a strong showing, Rollins could lock down a spot on Day 2.

Devin Smith, WR, Ohio State

Smith reminds me of the Ravens' Torrey Smith for his abilities as a deep threat, only he has better ball skills. He's at his best on fades, deep posts and post corners. He possesses excellent body control and also does a great job tracking the ball vertically.

I think Smith is a top-40 pick in this year's draft. I would like to see some improvement from him as an intermediate route runner.

Nick Boyle, TE, Delaware

It's easy to see why there's been a lot of buzz about Boyle, as he has prototypical size for a "Y" tight end at 6-foot-5, 273 pounds. He is a strong in-line blocker and does a good job of using his big body to effectively shield defenders. He isn't an elite athlete, so I'm interested to see if he can create separation this week.

Most to prove
Sammie Coates, WR, Auburn

Coates has an outstanding combination of size and straight-line speed, and he played his best in big games. He has a ton of big-play ability and ranked third in the nation in yards per catch in 2012.

The issue is that he was highly inconsistent this past season, and he needs to improve as an intermediate route runner. I also want to see him attack the ball more; he needs to high-point the ball rather than let it get into his pads as much as he does. Coates has a chance to be a Day 2 pick, but he needs to show a more complete game this week.

Garrett Grayson, QB, Colorado State

Garrett Grayson needs to recover from a shaky conclusion to 2014.
He started all 27 of the Rams' games the past two seasons and put up some big numbers in the process: 7,975 yards and a 55-18 TD-INT ratio.

But he struggled in CSU's bowl loss to Utah, and needs to regain some positive momentum for his draft stock this week. He has adequate size and arm strength with the mobility to extend plays, but I want to see more accuracy from him on throws that require anticipation.

This isn't a deep QB class, so Grayson could wind up as the fifth or sixth QB selected -- likely on Day 3.

Sean Mannion, QB, Oregon State

Mannion has a prototypical frame for the QB position at 6-5, 220 pounds, and he has the arm to make all the throws. But he needs to be more consistent with his accuracy and his decision-making. He's coming off of a subpar senior season with a 15-8 TD-INT ratio.

What I want to see out of him is how he handles pressure. Can he maneuver inside the pocket and make accurate throws on pressure drops?

Josh Shaw, CB, USC

Shaw is going to need to show maturity throughout the entire pre-draft process. Specifically, he'll need to be honest and straightforward in answering interview questions related to an August incident in which Shaw claimed he injured his ankles while trying to save his nephew from drowning, but reportedly was actually involved in an incident with the police.

As a player, there's a lot to like about Shaw's length (he's 6-1, 195 pounds) and instincts, and he was productive during his stints with Florida and USC (119 tackles, six interceptions). He had a good showing at last week's East-West Shrine Game.

Zach Hodges, DE/OLB, Harvard

At 6-3, 245 pounds, Hodges will convert from college defensive end to NFL outside linebacker. He was very productive at Harvard, breaking the school's career sack record and earning Ivy League co-player of the year honors.

The questions for Hodges are whether he can effectively drop in coverage and whether he can get to the QB when working against top offensive tackle prospects. He'll be facing a big jump in competition going against the likes of Clemmings and Rob Havenstein in practice, and he needs to have a good showing to cement his place on Day 2.

Top 10 prospects by grade

1. Danny Shelton, DT, Washington
2. T.J. Clemmings, OT, Pittsburgh
3. Devin Smith, WR, Ohio State
4. Trey Flowers, DE, Arkansas
5. Denzel Perryman, ILB, Miami (FL)
6. Preston Smith, DE, Mississippi State
7. Sammie Coates, WR, Auburn
8. Daryl Williams, OT, Oklahoma
9. Owamagbe Odighizuwa, DE, UCLA
10. Ameer Abdullah, RB, Nebraska

 

[beerlover]

great watch so far. lot of NFL worthy players. really liked both Duke players, Laken Tomlinson, OG 6032 323 able to stun & handle bull rush of Shelton yet still had foot quickness to seal off outside & guard against spin move of much smaller quicker de's like Zach Hodges only 6025 242. Jamison Crowder is another duke player I like, explosive return ability, slot wr. Hardy looks good too but Crowder could really help Texan returner situation, at least on punts, Amer Abdullah on kick offs, plays bigger than size, looks the part of a Darren Sproles like player. Some good CB's to watch as well Josh Shaw, Quinton Rollins, Steven Nelson, never even got to South practice so maybe half dozen or so in this game to take a look at to enforce secondary.

Watched him a bit in the SB practice yesterday, and I he was somhow available to us we'd have to consider him.

 

[BigWig]

I may be a bit biased and somewhat skeptical by the comments here but I really like Bryce Petty. I watched most Baylor games since I live in Austin and he IMHO has elements of Big Ben, Luck, Drew Brees, I could see him being a steal in the draft and becoming a franchise QB if given a good O-line.

Senior Bowl Practice Players of the week (according to NFL scout voting):

MOBILE -- Iowa defensive tackle took home the Most Outstanding Practice Player of the Week at the annual Players' Banquet on Thursday night in Mobile.

After three days of practices, Davis was voted by a panel of NFL scouts to have been the most outstanding player in practices during Reese's Senior Bowl week. Other positional winners on Thursday:

QUARTERBACK: Garrett Grayson, Colorado State
WIDE RECEIVER: Phillip Dorsett, Miami
RUNNING BACK: David Johnson, Northern Iowa
OFFENSIVE LINEMAN: Laken Tomlinson, Duke
DEFENSIVE LINEMAN: Danny Shelton, Washington
LINEBACKER: Stephone Anthony, Clemson
DEFENSIIVE BACK: Kevin White, TCU

 

[Playoffs]

Senior Bowl Practice Players of the week (according to NFL scout voting):

First name Carl, 6'5" 321 lbs.

I like that list, there's a few more that stood out to me. Some solid prospects there.

 

[badboy]

After Shelton, the most consistently good defensive player for the North this week was Davis. He had a quiet season due to a lot of double teams. But he showed in Mobile, especially in one-on-one drills, that he's an incredibly skilled and powerful tackle. There is going to be a debate over the next couple of months about Davis and Malcom Brown of Texas about which one could slide into the first round.

Stephone Anthony, MLB, Clemson

There isn't a lot of flash to Anthony. He's just fast enough, just big enough and just instinctual enough. But when you combine all of those things, you have a solid three-down linebacker. When Perryman went down with an injury this week, Anthony seized the moment. He displayed a knack for filling a gap versus the run and enough fluidity to keep up in coverage. Anthony went from being a late Day 3 player to an early Day 3 player.

Nick Boyle, TE, Delaware

After Walford, the best tight end at the Senior Bowl was Boyle. At first he stood out for his run blocking and during pass blocking drills. But as practices progressed, he showed he has good hands and uses his frame to get open. His play in Mobile was reminiscent of Crockett Gilmore last year. Boyle isn't the fastest, but other than that he projects as a good No. 2 tight end and a good late-round pick.

[badboy]

Small school

It wasn't just Boyle who looks like he'll make the successful jump to the NFL. On Thursday, you met Hobart College offensive lineman Ali Marpet. Samford safety Jaquiski Tartt had a good week. He is a physical safety, but showed he can hold up in coverage. In a draft class that needs that type of safety, Tartt dramatically improved his stock. Central Arkansas wide receiver Dezmin Lewis had the sort of week that should lock up a spot in the draft for him. He showed the ability to high point the ball and looks fluid and speedy. When you add in that he's 6-foot-3, you get solid prospect to mold. Northern Iowa running back David Johnson looked like the best all-around running back in practices. He can handle himself in pass protection and is a good runner. But it's his skills as a pass catcher that will keep him on an NFL roster. Johnson's versatility could lead to a productive NFL career.

http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2015/1/23/7877005/senior-bowl-stock-report-nfl-draft

 

[badboy]

Not so good:

T.J. Clemmings, OT, Pittsburgh

Make no mistake, Clemmings is still probably going to be a top 20 pick. And maybe Clemmings was just a victim to the circumstance. But when Titans coaches had him on the left side in drills, he didn't look good. He looked like what you'd expect from player who played just two years at right tackle. His handwork was inconsistent and coaches were often drilling him on where to target. If anyone considered Clemmings a potential left tackle, he showed this week he needs to stay on the right side. Really, there's nothing wrong with that, though.

Another all-star game, another week of lackluster quarterback play. Throughout the week the quarterbacks in Mobile were missing easy throws, throwing interceptions, dropping snaps and bobbling handoffs. There were six in attendance – Bryan Bennett of Southeast Louisiana, Shane Carden of East Carolina, Garrett Grayson of Colorado State, Sean Mannion of Oregon State, Bryce Petty of Baylor and Blake Sims of Alabama. How many of these guys will have a draftable grade? Three? Grayson looked the best of the group, but still missed too many easy throws.

Ty Sambrailo, OT, Colorado State

Not to make this an anti-Ty brigade, but Sambrailo had a chance to really show himself as a top 40 pick in Mobile. He didn't. Sambrailo's play clearly shows he's a player who has to add strength and may need to sit a year to do so in an NFL strength program. If he does get stronger, Sambrailo is a good left tackle candidate because of his flexibility and foot quickness. But defensive players often drove him backward and shed him during practices.

http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2015/1/23/7877005/senior-bowl-stock-report-nfl-draft

 

[bah007]

I'm a huge fan of Carl Davis. I don't think he's consistent enough to warrant a first round pick but he has the potential to be an absolute stud.

Anthony is another guy I really like. He didn't make a lot of flashy plays at Clemson, but he was always in the pile.

Never really been a big fan of Clemmings.

I liked Sambrailo a lot until Orchard ate his lunch in the bowl game. It was the only NFL rusher Sambrailo has ever faced and it was very, very ugly.
