Tight Ends
| Name: Michael Roberts | School: Toledo |
| Ht: 6043 | Wt: 261 |
| Arm: 33 2/8 | Hand: 11 5/8 |
| Tues: Roberts did a terrific job today. He plays much faster than anyone would expect and runs solid routes. Except for one drop he also caught the ball very well, but he was beat a few times around the edge during blocking drills. | |
| Wed: Except for one bad drop it was a very good day for Roberts. Again, he showed surprising speed and quickness and came away with several tough grabs. Also looked dominant in blocking drills. | |
| Thurs: Another terrific practice from Roberts. He looks incredibly smooth and fluid for a 261-pound tight end and made a lot of nice receptions down the field today. | |
| Analysis: Roberts improved from his impressive performance at last week’s Shrine Game. He’s incredibly fluid and smooth for a 260-pound tight end and catches the ball exceptionally well. Roberts is deceptively quick and plays the game at a good pace. He blocks like an offensive tackle and really impressed scouts during his Senior Bowl performance. |
| Name: Jonnu Smith | School: FIU |
| Ht: 6026 | Wt: 245 |
| Arm: 31 6/8 | Hand: 9 2/8 |
| Tues: Smith looked good in just about all aspects. He's athletic and easily moves about the field. He caught the ball very well, nicely extending and catching passes away from his frame. Smith also held his own blocking, squaring into defenders and holding the point. | |
| Wed: Terrific overall day for Smith. Catches the ball like a big possession receiver showing the ability to get downfield and come away with the contested grab. Once again gave effort blocking and ended up with solid results. | |
| Thurs: Smith looks like he belongs here at the Senior Bowl. Once again he was probably the most athletic tight end from the North, caught the ball extremely well and held his own as a blocker. | |
| Analysis: Smith exceeded all expectations during the three days of practice. He looked more like a big possession receiver rather than a 245-pound tight end the way he easily got down the field to make the reception in stride. His blocking was not great yet he was solid in all aspects, on the line of scrimmage or blocking in motion. In a draft deep at the tight end position, Smith definitely enhanced his stock in Mobile. |
| Name: Jeremy Sprinkle | School: Arkansas |
| Ht: 6046 | Wt: 256 |
| Arm: 34 1/8 | Hand: 10 5/8 |
| Tues: Not a good day for Sprinkle. Overall he looked sluggish, unathletic and ineffective in most areas, and he struggled to create separation as a receiver. | |
| Wed: Slightly disappointing day for Sprinkle. Had his moments as a blocker and pass catcher but also looked marginally athletic, stiff and seemed lost at times. | |
| Thurs: Sprinkle turned in a slightly better performance today. He was better catching the ball as well as blocking. He is not nearly the athlete of the other two tight ends on the North. | |
| Analysis: Sprinkle was a bit of a disappointment and probably the least athletic tight end on hand in Mobile. He showed little in the way of quickness, speed and natural pass-catching skill. He possesses next-level skills yet did not show them on a consistent basis during Senior Bowl practices. |
| Name: Evan Engram | School: Mississippi |
| Ht: 6031 | Wt: 236 |
| Arm: 32 3/8 | Hand: 10 |
| Tues: Engram was overshadowed by his South teammates at tight end. He didn't play poorly, but he did let the ball get into his body too often and early in practice he dropped a fair number of passes. | |
| Wed: Engram improved on his Day 1 performance Wednesday, showing smooth movement skills in the open field and creating good separation up the seam and in the flat. He still doesn't extend for passes as well as he could, but he made a nice adjustment on a low pass and maintained his stride well. | |
| Thurs: Engram continued to build momentum and showed improvement in his receiving technique, which was the only legitimate knock on his play earlier in the week. | |
| Analysis: |
| Name: Gerald Everett | School: South Alabama |
| Ht: 6020 | Wt: 227 |
| Arm: 32 7/8 | Hand: 8 2/8 |
| Tues: Everett was the second-best tight end for the South on Tuesday, showing strong hands away from his body. He made a great diving catch toward the end of practice, contorting his body in the air to keep the ball from making contact with the ground. Everett also held his own blocking, which was a pleasant surprise. | |
| Wed: Everett didn't quite live up the expectations he set on Day 1 as a pass-catcher, but he continued to move well and displayed good hands. | |
| Thurs: Everett missed Thursday's practice due to injury. | |
| Analysis: |
| Name: O.J. Howard | School: Alabama |
| Ht: 6055 | Wt: 249 |
| Arm: 33 7/8 | Hand: 10 |
| Tues: Howard was one of the standouts of the South's initial practice. He made multiple one-handed catches on errant passes and caught the ball nicely away from his frame. He showed speed up the seam and tracked deep balls well. | |
| Wed: Howard had a few drops on the day but continued to show good technique and extension, as well as his trademark speed and athleticism. | |
| Thurs: Howard continued to cement his himself as a top-15 pick, showing quick reactions to extend and make catches. He also blocked effectively, and one block 10 yards downfield helped Josh Dobbs reach the endzone on a scramble. On successive reps in position drills, Howard also stoned Tyus Bowser. | |
| Analysis: |
Offensive Line
| Name: Isaac Asiata | School: Utah |
| Ht: 6031 | Wt: 325 |
| Arm: 32 6/8 | Hand: 10 |
| Tues: Asiata struggled when he was place at left tackle but looked very good inside at guard. He battled and held the point against opponents. He had to leave practice after aggravating a hamstring he injured earlier in the year. | |
| Wed: Left the Senior Bowl with a hamstring injury. | |
| Thurs: | |
| Analysis: |
| Name: Jessamen Dunker | School: Tennessee State |
| Ht: 6041 | Wt: 306 |
| Arm: 33 2/8 | Hand: 10 1/8 |
| Tues: Dunker showed a lot of next level traits all day. He's strong, explosive and fierce. I really liked the way he battled and won out on occasion. Dunker also lost a number of times as he must improve his balance and positioning. | |
| Wed: Dunker continues to show flashes. He blocks with a nasty attitude, plays with terrific explosion and works through the whistle. He must improve his balance and while he won a few reps, Dunker also lost out on a number of occasions. | |
| Thurs: Dunker was not seen at practice Thursday. | |
| Analysis: |
| Name: Daniel Isidora | School: Miami-Fl |
| Ht: 6034 | Wt: 311 |
| Arm: 32 4/8 | Hand: 9 7/8 |
| Tues: Isidora had a rocky start but righted the ship and looked very good by the end of practice. He does a great job staying square and engulfing opponents. | |
| Wed: Inconsistent day for Isidora. He’s effective once he gets his hands on opponents but otherwise got twisted and struggled with his balance. | |
| Thurs: Today was the best practice of the week for Isidora. He squared into defenders, blocked with lean and anchored. A few times when it looked like he was going to get beat, Isidora was able to recover. | |
| Analysis: |
| Name: Forrest Lamp | School: Western Kentucky |
| Ht: 6036 | Wt: 305 |
| Arm: 31 1/8 | Hand: 10 7/8 |
| Tues: Lamp had a terrific day and was probably the best offensive lineman on the South. He stood out at both left tackle and guard. He doesn't show great footwork off the edge but makes great use of angles and body positioning to seal the edge. He's not dominant run blocking but again, turns defenders from the play with terrific body positioning and takes them from the action. Today was a big win for Lamp. | |
| Wed: Left the Senior Bowl with a high-ankle sprain. | |
| Thurs: | |
| Analysis: |
| Name: Ethan Pocic | School: LSU |
| Ht: 6060 | Wt: 307 |
| Arm: 32 5/8 | Hand: 10 1/8 |
| Tues: I was not impressed with Pocic today. He's a big lineman but was often walked back into the pocket by smaller defensive tackles. He's also very stiff and struggled to adjust. | |
| Wed: Pocic looked much better today. He did a great job squaring into defenders and controlling them or finishing them off. I’m still concerned about his agility and inability to adjust or redirect. | |
| Thurs: Today was the best practice of the week for Pocic. He looked strong, consistently anchored at the point and held his own on every snap. | |
| Analysis: |
| Name: Nico Siragusa | School: San Diego State |
| Ht: 6044 | Wt: 326 |
| Arm: 32 6/8 | Hand: 10 7/8 |
| Tues: Siragusa started the day strong at guard and won out during several one-on-one's before a dislocated thumb ended his practice. He hopes to continue tomorrow. | |
| Wed: Left the Senior Bowl with a dislocated thumb. | |
| Thurs: | |
| Analysis: |
| Name: Zach Banner | School: USC |
| Ht: 6083 | Wt: 361 |
| Arm: 33 5/8 | Hand: 10 6/8 |
| Tues: Banner is an impressive looking speciman but a very inconsistent blocker. He had his moments and at times destroyed opponents but more times than not he was off balance, getting twisted and fell off blocks. | |
| Wed: When Banner got his hands on defenders he was able to contain them but otherwise he struggles to adjust, lacks any semblance of balance and often found himself on the turf. | |
| Thurs: Today was a slightly better practice day for Banner. He’s a huge lineman who engulfs defenders or controls opponents once he gets his hands into them. One thing I noticed is Banner does not bend his knees or block with much leverage. | |
| Analysis:Banner struggled for most of the week and though he showed flashes, he lacked balance, technique and really didn’t play to his size. All of his bad habits were exposed during the Senior Bowl and as a result, his draft stock will drop. |
| Name: Julien Davenport | School: Bucknell |
| Ht: 6066 | Wt: 310 |
| Arm: 36 | Hand: 10 4/8 |
| Tues: I have to say I was impressed by Davenport. For the most part he won out in battles this afternoon and at times dominated opponents. He did a great job staying square and keeping defenders away from the action. He definitely needs to improve his hand placement and hand technique but the tools are available. | |
| Wed: There were a lot of things to like about Davenport today. He looks imposing and played that way. I like the way he squares into defenders, works his blocks and controls opponents once engaged at the point. He needs to improve his balance and learn to finish blocks but overall it was a good second day for him. | |
| Thurs: Davenport continues to compete and hold his own against better competition. I was impressed with the way he squared into defenders and anchored at the point. | |
| Analysis: Davenport performed well and proved that he belonged at the Senior Bowl. He’s an imposing lineman who blocks with solid fundamentals, and for the most part he rarely got beat in drills or scrimmages. |
| Name: Dion Dawkins | School: Temple |
| Ht: 6037 | Wt: 317 |
| Arm: 34 5/8 | Hand: 9 6/8 |
| Tues: When I watched Dawkins today he lined up at guard and struggled. He was getting turned, twisted and beaten. His balance was terrible and he played back on his heels. | |
| Wed: Dawkins looked significantly improved today. He was much better on his feet, played with better balance and made several nice blocks throughout the session. He was very effective on the second level but strength at the point is an issue. | |
| Thurs: Dawkins lined up at both left tackle and guard today and had his moments. He’s an explosive athlete and blocks with solid fundamentals but really needs to improve his playing strength. | |
| Analysis: Dawkins had a shaky start but was able to figure it out as the week progressed. He’s an athletic prospect who must improve his strength and blocking balance. He lined up at both guard and left tackle and performed best blocking the edge as he did in college. |
| Name: Dan Feeney | School: Indiana |
| Ht: 6040 | Wt: 304 |
| Arm: 33 1/8 | Hand: 10 2/8 |
| Tues: The best phrase I could use to describe Feeney today is wow!! He took on all comers and dominated everyone. Imagine running full speed into a brick wall; that's what Feeney's opponents were up against today. Feeney is fundamentally sound and incredibly powerful. | |
| Wed: It would’ve been tough for Feeney to improve on yesterday and he really didn’t. That being the case, he was still dominant except for the single play Wormley of Michigan beat him on. I noticed Feeney was relatively effective the times he was asked to kick out and block in motion. If he adds that to his arsenal, watch out! | |
| Thurs: Feeney lined up at both guard and center today and was dominant at both spots. He’s technically sound, powerful and blocks with a nasty attitude. On a number of occasions he outright beat Stevie Tu'Ikolovatu of USC despite the fact he was at a 45-pound disadvantage. | |
| Analysis: Feeney was hands down the most dominant lineman of the week. Except for one time on Tuesday, he was not beaten by opponents despite lining up at guard and center. He blocked with terrific fundamentals, showed incredible power and finished off opponents with ease. He was rarely asked to block in motion but if he performs well during the combine, he could get first-round consideration. |
| Name: Kyle Kalis | School: Michigan |
| Ht: 6042 | Wt: 308 |
| Arm: 32 7/8 | Hand: 10 2/8 |
| Tues: Kalis picked up from where he left off at last week's Shrine game and looked very good today. He's tough, strong and plays with a high degree of intelligence. In one instance Kalis even showed the ability to get out on the second level and take out the linebacker. | |
| Wed: Kalis did not and will not wow anyone with athleticism or great explosion but once again he was very efficient, technically sound and did a solid job in all areas. He’s a thinking man's football player who gets the most from his ability. | |
| Thurs: Kalis was not seen at practice Thursday. | |
| Analysis: Kalis was another who continued the momentum of what was a good week at the Shrine Game. He’s not very athletic but is smart, tough and efficient. I don’t know that he improved his draft stock, but he definitely made himself a draftable commodity. |
| Name: Jordan Morgan | School: Kutztown |
| Ht: 6026 | Wt: 313 |
| Arm: 33 2/8 | Hand: 10 |
| Tues: Morgan had his moments today but for the most part I felt he struggled. He does too much bending at the waist, he was off balance and rarely finished blocks. | |
| Wed: Morgan showed significant improvement today. He blocked with better balance, stayed on his feet and showed a lot of quickness and explosion. Once he squared into opponents he anchored at the point and controlled his man. | |
| Thurs: Another solid day for Morgan. He won on a number of snaps and he lost a few but you can see the underlying talent is available. | |
| Analysis: Morgan started the week shaky then significantly improved during the final two practices. He’s an athletic lineman with terrific explosion at the point of attack, but he must improve the details and nuances of the position. He had several shining moments which will enhance his draft stock. |
| Name: Taylor Moton | School: Western Michigan |
| Ht: 6053 | Wt: 330 |
| Arm: 33 1/8 | Hand: 10 6/8 |
| Tues: When Moton lined up at right tackle he dominated everyone, showing great power and solid technique. Left tackle was a different story as he struggled with his footwork, could not slide out and was exploited off the edge a couple of times. | |
| Wed: It was another solid day for Moton. Similar to yesterday, he was very effective at right tackle but struggled on the left side. Very much a dominant and powerful small-area blocker. | |
| Thurs: Moton lined up at guard for part of the practice and was dominant. He’s exceptional in a small area. | |
| Analysis: Moton was dominant when he lined up at right tackle or guard but struggled blocking the blind side. He proved himself to be a big, powerful and dominant run blocker best in a small area. While he helped himself at the Senior Bowl, his limitations were obvious. |
| Name: Tyler Orlosky | School: West Virginia |
| Ht: 6031 | Wt: 292 |
| Arm: 31 6/8 | Hand: 9 7/8 |
| Tues: Orlosky had a solid outing squaring into defenders and controlling them just about the entire day. He was effective as both a run blocker and in pass protection. | |
| Wed: I saw a few good things from Orlosky today. He’s very quick and explosive and he also shows a good feel for the position. He does need to finish blocks as he let opponents back in the play. | |
| Thurs: I liked what I saw from Orlosky today. He was quick, showed the ability to adjust and won out more than he lost. | |
| Analysis: Overall, Orlosky had a solid week. He’s a nasty and explosive lineman who blocks with solid fundamentals, and if he improves his strength at the point off attack, he showed at the Senior Bowl that he can start on Sundays. |
Defensive Line
North 3-4 alignment
| Name: Tarell Basham | School: Ohio |
| Ht: 6035 | Wt: 259 |
| Arm: 32 7/8 | Hand: 10 3/8 |
| Tues: Basham stood up over tackle for most of the day in the North's 3-4 alignment. He's a tremendous athlete with a terrific change of direction and the ability to easily move in every direction. I thought he looked solid rushing the passer out of a three-point stance. He needs work in coverage and was a little stiff moving in reverse but overall it was a solid day for Basham. | |
| Wed: It was another solid day for Basham and you can see he’s getting better by the practice. He was very effective rushing the passer out of a three-point stance as well as standing over tackle. His quickness off the edge, ability to change direction and overall athleticism are impressive. While he struggled in coverage, he was not awful by any means. | |
| Thurs: Basham looked terrific today. His athleticism and explosion just jumps out at you as he makes plays in every direction of the field. While he needs work on his drops and coverage skills, you can tell the ability is available and it's not unnatural for him. | |
| Analysis: Basham was one of the most athletic front-seven players to show up at the Senior Bowl. He was swift moving in a straight line as well as laterally and showed the ability to get depth on pass drops during coverage drills. He was explosive rushing the passer out of a three-point stance, improved when asked to do the same standing up over tackle and didn’t embarrass himself in pass coverage. He offers a huge amount of upside and walks away from the Senior Bowl as a winner. |
| Name: Ryan Glasgow | School: Michigan |
| Ht: 6027 | Wt: 299 |
| Arm: 32 6/8 | Hand: 9 7/8 |
| Tues: Solid performance from Glasgow today. He fires off the snap, plays with great pad level and effectively works his hands while keeping his feet moving. He's not powerful but battles through the action and played through the whistle. | |
| Wed: Once again I was impressed with the technique, quickness and explosion Glasgow plays with. He did not display himself as much of a playmaker but does a good job occupying gaps and blockers. | |
| Thurs: Glasgow didn’t make too many plays during practice, but he competed and showed terrific quickness and explosion in his game. | |
| Analysis: Glasgow had a solid Senior Bowl, though he’s not going to make the meteoric rise up draft boards that his brother did in Mobile a year ago. He’s a solid defensive tackle prospect who lacks great size as well as strength at the point. |
| Name: Derek Rivers | School: Youngstown |
| Ht: 6041 | Wt: 250 |
| Arm: 33 3/8 | Hand: 9 4/8 |
| Tues: Rivers stood up over tackle as a 3-4 outside linebacker. He's athletic and moves very well. He's also forceful up the field, but once blocked he stays blocked. Rivers was not bad making plays in reverse. | |
| Wed: Rivers is slowly pulling it together. He’s athletic, explosive and ferocious up the field. Rivers must improve his play in space and moving in reverse but he showed improvement and looked more comfortable today. | |
| Thurs: Rivers looked solid today, especially rushing the passer as a stand-up linebacker. He fires off the edge, displaying a nice degree of quickness and speed. After Basham, Rivers was one of the more athletic front-seven players on the North squad. | |
| Analysis: Rivers was another college defensive end who was asked to stand up over tackle and, like many of the others at the Senior Bowl, he helped his draft stock. One of the better athletes on the North, he was quick, explosive and showed speed moving in every direction. While he needs to improve his pass-coverage skills, he’s a natural pass-rusher, which comes at a premium on draft day |
| Name: Isaac Rochell | School: Notre Dame |
| Ht: 6043 | Wt: 282 |
| Arm: 33 2/8 | Hand: 10 |
| Tues: Rochell struggled throughout most of the day. He's quick and competitive but cannot get off blocks once engaged at the point and was beaten on a number of occasions. | |
| Wed: It was a better day for Rochell. He did not make many plays but he kept his feet and held the point all practice long. Rochell does flash athleticism in his game. | |
| Thurs: Rochell had his moments today, displaying an inside move and the ability to penetrate behind the line of scrimmage. | |
| Analysis: Rochell had a tough three days and, except for a few flashes, he was handled during most of Senior Bowl practice. He’s quick off the snap but gets upright and lacks any strength at the point. |
| Name: Dawuane Smoot | School: Illinois |
| Ht: 6027 | Wt: 255 |
| Arm: 32 6/8 | Hand: 9 1/8 |
| Tues: Smoot stood up over tackle most of the day and was very inconsistent. He did not look natural and struggled getting off blocks. | |
| Wed: Smoot stood over tackle on a number of occasions and did not look comfortable or effective. He showed little in the way of quickness, struggled getting off blocks and was slow locating the ball. | |
| Thurs: Smoot was inconsistent. He did make a few nice plays on the ball but in other instances he disappeared for stretches. | |
| Analysis: Highly rated coming into the Senior Bowl, Smoot showed he had a lot of limitations in his game. He was ineffective standing up over tackle, showed limited pass-rush skill and was unable to get off blocks once engaged at the point of attack. He leaves Mobile with a falling draft grade. |
| Name: Chris Wormley | School: Michigan |
| Ht: 6053 | Wt: 297 |
| Arm: 33 4/8 | Hand: 10 3/8 |
| Tues: I liked what I saw from Wormley. He lined up as a two-gap end and showed terrific quickness, explosion and he plays with leverage. He beat a number of opponents during drills with a terrific inside move. | |
| Wed: Wormley made several nice plays on the ball today and thus far has been the only lineman to beat Dan Feeney. He’s strong as heck, explosive and fights through the whistle. I was surprised he showed a limited closing burst. | |
| Thurs: Once again Wormley made several nice plays behind the line of scrimmage with power, explosion and tenacity. | |
| Analysis: Though not very consistent throughout the week, Wormley had his moments when he made big plays. He looked natural playing defensive end in a 3-4 front and was able to penetrate the line of scrimmage or occupy blockers. He’s not the flashiest but proved he can effectively do the little things. |
South 4-3 alignment
| Name: Montravius Adams | School: Auburn |
| Ht: 6033 | Wt: 308 |
| Arm: 31 7/8 | Hand: 9 2/8 |
| Tues: Adams was impossible to stop at times today and looked like a man amongst boys. He was quick, powerful and drove opponents off the line of scrimmage. He was effective with his hands and had opponents playing back on their heels. Adams had scouts talking today. | |
| Wed: Today was another terrific day for Adams. He runs over blockers and has been impossible to stop. He shows terrific short-area quickness and great power in his lower body. | |
| Thurs: Adams looked like a man amongst boys today. He was unstoppable and ran over anyone who tried to block him. I’d like to see him develop a few more moves, but he has proven his worth the past three days. | |
| Analysis: |
| Name: Keionta Davis | School: Tenn-Chattanooga |
| Ht: 6030 | Wt: 274 |
| Arm: 33 1/8 | Hand: 9 |
| Tues: Davis had a terrific showing today. He's technically sound and played with great pad level and leverage. He's quick off the snap, fast around the edge and has a closing burst. What surprised me was the bull rush Davis showed as he drove blockers back off the line on several occasions. | |
| Wed: Davis was not as effective today as he was during the first Senior Bowl practice but he still shows a good degree of athleticism and quickness in his game. | |
| Thurs: Davis seemed to hit a plateau and really hasn’t improved. He’s a nice edge rusher but seems to have worn down over the course of the week. | |
| Analysis: |
| Name: Daeshon Hall | School: Texas A&M |
| Ht: 6053 | Wt: 265 |
| Arm: 34 5/8 | Hand: 9 4/8 |
| Tues: Today was a big win for Hall. He's incredibly quick, athletic and fluid. He destroyed several opponents on a number of occasions with a terrific inside move. Hall played through the whistle and sometimes after the whistle. | |
| Wed: Hall continues to beat opponents with inside moves and outside speed. He’s a fine technician but has a slender build and is prone to getting locked up at the point. | |
| Thurs: Hall was not seen at practice Thursday. | |
| Analysis: |
| Name: Tanoh Kpassagnon | School: Villanova |
| Ht: 6067 | Wt: 280 |
| Arm: 34 7/8 | Hand: 10 7/8 |
| Tues: Kpassagnon had his moments during the day. He showed terrific power and overwhelmed opponents on occasion, including Forrest Lamp. He also had speels where he would dissapear. | |
| Wed: Kpassagnon was inconsistent again in practice. He’ll make a tremendous play then disappear for long stretches. | |
| Thurs: Kpassagnon had his moments in drills but was not much of a factor in scrimmages. I truly believe a large part of the reason why is they placed the big defender at end in the 4-3, where he seems to struggle. | |
| Analysis: |
| Name: Dalvin Tomlinson | School: Alabama |
| Ht: 6030 | Wt: 312 |
| Arm: 33 | Hand: 10 |
| Tues: Tomlinson surprised me. He plays with great pad level, leverage and quickness. He flashed power and won out during a number of one-on-one's. | |
| Wed: Similar to Tuesday, Tomlinson was explosive and powerful. He didn’t make many plays but he’s impossible to move off the point. | |
| Thurs: | |
| Analysis: |
| Name: Eddie Vanderdoes | School: UCLA |
| Ht: 6031 | Wt: 320 |
| Arm: 31 5/8 | Hand: 10 5/8 |
| Tues: Vanderdoes played exceptionally well today in all areas. He beat opponents with quickness, power and intensity. From the snap he's tough to stop as he showed a great first step, power in his lower body and he worked his hands incredibly well. Even when it looked like Vanderdoes was outmatched he won the down. | |
| Wed: Vanderdoes did not have the same impact today but still had a terrific day. He’s incredibly strong and shows terrific quickness for a 320-pound defensive lineman. | |
| Thurs: Another solid day for Vanderdoes, though he did not have the same impact as earlier in the week. Besides his explosion and intensity, I love the pad level and hand technique he uses. | |
| Analysis: |
| Name: Carlos Watkins | School: Clemson |
| Ht: 6035 | Wt: 312 |
| Arm: 33 4/8 | Hand: 10 3/8 |
| Tues: Watkins was up and down. He shows a great bull rush but little in the way of defeating blocks once engaged. | |
| Wed:I’m not sold on Watkins. He shows a terrific bull rush but not mush more and some of the more technically sound lineman have been able to exploit this. | |
| Thurs: Watkins had several nice bull rushes, blowing opponents off the line, but he hasn't shown any variety of moves. | |
| Analysis: |
| Name: Jordan Willis | School: Kansas State |
| Ht: 6036 | Wt: 255 |
| Arm: 32 2/8 | Hand: 10 |
| Tues: Willis is a terrific edge rusher but looked more like a first step lineman today as he was easily blocked or disrupted from the action at the point of attack. | |
| Wed: Once again Willis showed himself to be a first-step lineman. Once blockers get their hands on him he struggles making plays. | |
| Thurs: Willis was pretty much handled for most of practice. | |
| Analysis: |
Linebackers
South 4-3 alignment
| Name: Ryan Anderson | School: Alabama |
| Ht: 6021 | Wt: 258 |
| Arm: 31 6/8 | Hand: 9 3/8 |
| Tues: Anderson looked tremendous today. He easily moved around the field for a 258lb linebacker and looked really good in coverage drills. He got depth on his pass drops, showed good hands for the pick and was very athletic. He generated a lot of buzz today. | |
| Wed: Anderson was not as effective during Day 2 of Senior Bowl practice as he was on Tuesday. He struggled during the full scrimmage in coverage and was beaten a number of times. | |
| Thurs: Anderson did not participate today. | |
| Analysis: |
| Name: Alex Anzalone | School: Florida |
| Ht: 6030 | Wt: 240 |
| Arm: 30 7/8 | Hand: 9 1/8 |
| Tues: Anzalone was very effective up the field defending the run. He's a fiery linebacker who sells out. Moving in reverse was a different story as Anzalone looked stiff and limited. | |
| Wed: I thought Anzalone played much better today. He was much better outside the box and flowed well laterally to the action. He also had several nice plays in coverage. | |
| Thurs: | |
| Analysis: |
| Name: Harvey Langi | School: BYU |
| Ht: 6015 | Wt: 252 |
| Arm: 32 3/8 | Hand: 8 7/8 |
| Tues: Langi was one of the better run defenders of the day. He showed great explosion up the field, wrapped up ball carriers and is a strong tackler. | |
| Wed: Really stacked well against the run and looked very explosive moving up the field. Rebounded in coverage and shows the ability to make plays over the middle of the field. | |
| Thurs: Again Langi looked very effective defending the run. I love the effort and intensity he plays with. | |
| Analysis: |
| Name: Duke Riley | School: LSU |
| Ht: 6005 | Wt: 231 |
| Arm: 30 7/8 | Hand: 9 4/8 |
| Tues: Riley looked very athletic on the field and showed a lot of quickness and explosion in drills. He was solid in scrimmage and I like the way he scrapes well | |
| Wed: Was probably the best run defender of the day. Not only fired up the field but also flows to the action and makes plays on the ball carrier out to the numbers. | |
| Thurs: Riley had one of his better practices today. He was tremendous against the run, not only in the box but also in pursuit. On one play he ran across the field to bring down Jamaal Williams which drew loud praise from coaches. | |

North 3-4 alignment
| Name: Vincent Biegel | School: Wisconsin |
| Ht: 6031 | Wt: 242 |
| Arm: 32 | Hand: 9 1/8 |
| Tues: Biegel looked natural and at home on the outside of the 3-4. He was forceful during blitz drills and could not be blocked. I also liked his movement skills as well as his change of direction. | |
| Wed: Solid day for Biegel. He’s most effective in the box and up the field but also showed decent skill in pursuit. Looked good in pass-rushing drills. | |
| Thurs: Biegel did a terrific job in the box and up the field today. He’s strong, explosive and holds his ground against blocks or sheds them altogether. | |
| Analysis: In my opinion, Biegel was one of the most underrated players I scouted the past three days. First of all, he looks thin at 242 pounds and could very likely add another 15 pounds to his frame. He was strong, explosive and defeated blocks on a consistent basis to make plays behind the line of scrimmage. He showed limitations in coverage but proved he would be very effective on the strong side of a 3-4 alignment. |
| Name: Ben Gedeon | School: Michigan |
| Ht: 6051 | Wt: 243 |
| Arm: 32 3/8 | Hand: 10 |
| Tues: Gedeon was terrific in run defense. He showed a good head for the ball, flowed well laterally and penetrated the gaps. In coverage, he looked stiff and not comfortable moving in reverse. | |
| Wed: Gedeon does not grade well in areas of athleticism or speed but his instincts, efficiency and wherewithal are terrific. He takes great angles and did a great job anticipating the action. | |
| Thurs: Gedeon did a nice job in pursuit or when the action was in front of him. He shows great instincts, is quick in the first five yards and is also very efficient. | |
| Analysis: Gedeon was not very athletic or agile, but on all three days he showed that he’s an instinctive and efficient linebacker who was able to make plays with his head rather than with his physical skills. |
| Name: Connor Harris | School: Lindenwood |
| Ht: 5110 | Wt: 241 |
| Arm: 28 6/8 | Hand: 9 2/8 |
| Tues: Harris had a tough time handling blocks but looked really good otherwise. He was solid against the run and looked fluid and smooth moving in reverse. | |
| Wed: Harris gave great effort and flashes athleticism but is small and gets easily washed from the action. | |
| Thurs: Today was a terrific day for Harris. He looked very athletic, covered a lot of area and quickly got to the spot defending the run or covering the pass. As with the past two days, Harris played tough, intense football. | |
| Analysis: Harris struggled early in the week, but by the final day of practice he was one of the better linebackers on the field. He’s explosive, intense and shows a good head for the ball, and he was effective defending the run and covering the pass. Measuring under six feet tall, he won’t be a linebacker for everyone. |
| Name: Carroll Phillips | School: Illinois |
| Ht: 6032 | Wt: 237 |
| Arm: 31 6/8 | Hand: 9 4/8 |
| Tues: Today was a big win for Phillips. He was terrific standing up over tackle looking quick, fast and fluid. He made plays in every direction of the field, looked forceful on the blitz and did not embarrass himself in coverage drills. | |
| Wed: Phillips is building a buzz around him. He’s athletic, fast moving around the field and even looked solid in coverage. His speed laterally is impressive. | |
| Thurs: Phillips continues to show a lot of skill and potential standing over tackle as a pass rusher and 3-4 OLB. He’s good in pursuit and plays with a large degree of athleticism. | |
| Analysis: Phillips was one of the big winners from Senior Bowl week. The college defensive end was asked to play as a stand-up linebacker and looked terrific during every day of practice. He was fast moving in every direction, displayed a lot of pass-rushing skill and was much better than his higher-rated teammate Dawuane Smoot. He leaves Mobile with an improved draft grade. |
| Name: Haason Reddick | School: Temple |
| Ht: 6014 | Wt: 237 |
| Arm: 32 1/8 | Hand: 10 3/8 |
| Tues: Reddick had his moments. At first he looked uncomfortable in space but Reddick improved as the day went on. He plays heads up football, covered a lot of area on the field and generally looked good. | |
| Wed: It's starting to click for Reddick. He made several people look foolish in pass-rushing drills standing up and out of a three-point stance. In pass drills he made a few nice plays and was constantly within reach of the action. | |
| Thurs: It was another fine performance for Reddick. I thought this was his best performance in coverage drills, as he made a number of terrific plays against the pass. His speed, quickness and the violence he plays with is all next-level worthy. | |
| Analysis: Reddick leaves Senior Bowl week with a draft grade on the rise. He was taller and bigger than many thought, explosive in every day of practice and continually improved. He displayed himself as one of the best pass-rushers on the field and got better each day dropping into pass coverage and making plays on the ball. Entering the season ignored by scouts, Reddick leaves Mobile as a possible second-day pick. |
Defensive Backs
| Name: Rasul Douglas | School: West Virginia |
| Ht: 6020 | Wt: 204 |
| Arm: 32 1/8 | Hand: 9 2/8 |
| Tues: Douglas had a solid Day 1 showing Tuesday. He didn't get beat and looked good in drills, displaying good ball skills and fluid movement ability for a corner of his size. | |
| Wed: Douglas took a step back Wednesday, showing a tendency to get handsy beyond five yards and drawing multiple flags as a result. He fought the ball in drills and had a chance to make a play on a ball thrown across the middle but didn’t react. | |
| Thurs: Douglas bounced back in a big way Thursday and was one of the day’s defensive standouts. He broke up several passes, slowing good closing speed and reacting extremely well to receivers’ hands with his back to the ball on deep passes. He had a few bad reps but overall it was an extremely productive day for Douglas. | |
| Analysis: Douglas was the best cornerback on the field for the North squad this week. He moves well for a big corner and shows great closing speed in addition to good ball skills. Douglas was very effective disrupting receivers down the field with his back to the ball and while he drew a few flags for creating contact too far downfield, he was one of the big winners on the defensive side in Mobile. |
| Name: John Johnson | School: Boston College |
| Ht: 6005 | Wt: 205 |
| Arm: 31 4/8 | Hand: 9 4/8 |
| Tues: Johnson was one of the better defensive backs on the North squad this afternoon. He showed a nice ability to high point passes in the air and good athleticism and awareness. | |
| Wed: Johnson has looked like the best safety on the North squad through two days, showing natural hands and ball-tracking ability and playing a good centerfield. He showed good recognition of play-action in red-zone drills. | |
| Thurs: Johnson continued his strong week at the Senior Bowl, showing good athleticism and fluidity and the ability to stay with receivers in coverage in one-on-ones. | |
| Analysis: Johnson was the best safety on the field during all three Senior Bowl practices. He’s as fluid and athletic as some corners and shows the range and ball skills to be a very effective center fielder. Johnson has good ball-tracking skills and the awareness and recognition to get involved quickly in the running game, and he significantly improved his draft stock in Mobile. |
| Name: Desmond King | School: Iowa |
| Ht: 5101 | Wt: 206 |
| Arm: 29 7/8 | Hand: 9 5/8 |
| Tues: King was a secondary standout Tuesday, sticking receivers tight in coverage consistently outside of a few reps, one in which he fell down. King also showed good ball skills and made a case for himself to stay at corner amidst rumors NFL teams view him as a safety. | |
| Wed: King again showed natural hands and ball skills and did a nice job staying with receiving down the field. He displayed the extension necessary to keep blockers off his body and shed blocks in the running game. | |
| Thurs: King had his worst practice of the week Thursday, looking stiff flipping his hips and biting badly inside on a double move, giving Zay Jones an easy touchdown. He also dropped an interception and while he showed the ability to shed blocks and make an impact against the run, Thursday’s performance won’t quiet the buzz about him moving to safety. | |
| Analysis: King started the week well but was exposed as practices continued. He ended Thursday looking stiff in coverage and biting on double moves without the speed to recover. King kept receivers off his body in the running game, but many NFL teams have taken him off their cornerback board and moved him to safety after this week of practice. |
| Name: Jourdan Lewis | School: Michigan |
| Ht: 5100 | Wt: 188 |
| Arm: 31 | Hand: 8 6/8 |
| Tues: Lewis and King put forth similar performances today. Lewis also stuck in receivers' hip pockets as a cover guy and displayed nice ball skills in drills. Unlike King, Lewis will definitely be drafted as a cornerback. | |
| Wed: Lewis was again one of the North’s top two corners Wednesday, staying connected with receivers through multiple moves and showing natural, smooth skills with the ball in the air. | |
| Thurs: Lewis struggled Thursday, getting lost fighting through traffic and not getting enough depth in short zones. He was beaten by Trent Taylor on a quick out and overpursued to the outside, allowing Taylor to quickly change direction and create extra yardage after the catch. | |
| Analysis: Lewis started the week playing well but tailed off by the end of Thursday’s practice. He struggled fighting through traffic and getting depth in zone coverage but showed smooth ball skills and the ability to stay connected to receivers down the field. |
| Name: Obi Melifonwu | School: UConn |
| Ht: 6040 | Wt: 219 |
| Arm: 32 5/8 | Hand: 8 6/8 |
| Tues: Melifonwu looked like a wide receiver in ball drills, high-pointing balls in the air and using his height well. He also moves well for his height and did a nice job on the back end today. | |
| Wed: Melifonwu again showed the timing and ability to high-point balls and can be a weapon coming over to help in deep coverage. He fought the ball slightly in drills but still moved well and used his length to his advantage. | |
| Thurs: Melifonwu continues to move well downhill and in a straight line but showed plenty of stiffness when asked to flip his hips and change direction. He also struggled catching and tracking the ball down the field. | |
| Analysis: Melifonwu showed receiver-like ball skills during drills early in the week, high-pointing balls with ease thanks to his height and length. He moves fluidly around the field but is best coming downhill and moving in a straight line. When asked to flip his hips and change direction, he showed stiffness in his movements. |
| Name: Corneilus Elder | School: Miami-Fl |
| Ht: 5101 | Wt: 179 |
| Arm: 30 7/8 | Hand: 9 5/8 |
| Tues: Elder had an average day of practice, avoiding getting beat too often but not making any big plays on defense. | |
| Wed: Elder looked good Wednesday, attacking the ball in the air and showing good hands in drills. He wasn't beat consistently in coverage and had a nice pass breakup against Artavis Scott on a short slant. | |
| Thurs: Elder took a small step back from Wednesday's practice, losing his feet against Artavis Scott on a route break and getting beat by Chad Williams lined up in his press. He was otherwise solid in coverage and continued to show good hands. | |
| Analysis: |
| Name: Justin Evans | School: Texas A&M |
| Ht: 6000 | Wt: 193 |
| Arm: 30 7/8 | Hand: 9 6/8 |
| Tues: Evans showed good ball skills and an ability to play the ball in the air on Day 1. He was one of the more athletic defensive backs on the field. | |
| Wed: Evans didn't have a great day Wednesday, showing alligator arms and not fully extending for the ball except in high-pointing situations, where his big hands allowed him to secure balls at the top of his jump. He was one of two players beat by Chad Williams on a deep touchdown and barely reacted as Williams skied for the grab. | |
| Thurs: Evans missed practice Thursday due to injury. | |
| Analysis: |
| Name: Rayshawn Jenkins | School: Miami-Fl |
| Ht: 6012 | Wt: 220 |
| Arm: 31 7/8 | Hand: 9 4/8 |
| Tues: Jenkins showed ability in trail coverage, kept plays in front of him and enjoyed a solid first day of practice. | |
| Wed: Jenkins showed average ball skills in drills and misjudged the ball in the air, but he was fluid and continued to show an ability to stay with receivers and react. | |
| Thurs: Jenkins didn't let receivers behind him Thursday and made a big play coming up the field. He showed the awareness to put his helmet on the ball as the second man in on a tackle, forcing a fumble from O.J. Howard | |
| Analysis: |
| Name: Damontae Kazee | School: San Diego State |
| Ht: 5102 | Wt: 183 |
| Arm: 29 7/8 | Hand: 8 2/8 |
| Tues: Kazee had a good day at corner Tuesday. In particular, he stayed in receivers' hip pockets downfield and didn't have to turn around to find the ball, instead reading his opponents' hands to break up long passes. | |
| Wed: If Tuesday was good for Kazee, Wednesday was great. He was strong in press coverage against bigger receivers like Josh Reynolds and Fred Ross, stayed with receivers downfield and showed good recovery speed when his opponents were able to separate. | |
| Thurs: Kazee continued his strong week of practice, showing physicality once again and staying in the body of opposing receivers. He kept his eyes in the backfield in zone coverage without losing his receiver and didn't bite on pump fakes or double moves. | |
| Analysis: |
| Name: Cameron Sutton | School: Tennessee |
| Ht: 5110 | Wt: 182 |
| Arm: 29 2/8 | Hand: 8 2/8 |
| Tues: Sutton was consistent on the first day of practice, staying tight with his opponents and not allowing yards after the catch when they were able to make receptions. | |
| Wed: Sutton had another nice day Wednesday and was even mixed in a bit at safety with Johnathan Ford out. Sutton played tight coverage all practice long, forcing an O.J. Howard drop and breaking up a pass intended for Travin Dural, and he showed good closing speed in both the pass and run game. | |
| Thurs: The coaching staff continued to use Sutton at safety due to injuries and he continued to play well. He showed good hand punch as a corner in press, stayed tight with receivers and did a nice job breaking up a pass that Fred Ross had in his hands. | |
| Analysis: |
| Name: Marquez White | School: Florida State |
| Ht: 5116 | Wt: 184 |
| Arm: 32 1/8 | Hand: 9 7/8 |
| Tues: White showed the ability to bounce back Tuesday after biting badly on a double move early in drills. The next two times receivers attacked him with combination routes, he stayed in position and kept the play in front of him. | |
| Wed: White held on a little too long in press coverage but otherwise had a stellar day. He showed quick feet, good change of direction and flipped his hips nicely while displaying an understanding of how to use the sideline to his advantage and maintaining tight coverage. | |
| Thurs: White built on his momentum from Wednesday, staying with receivers down the field and showing good ball skills. He broke up passes in the short field and to the sideline and reacted well when receivers went for the ball to prevent the completion. | |
| Analysis: |
| Name: Tre'Davious White | School: LSU |
| Ht: 5111 | Wt: 191 |
| Arm: 31 4/8 | Hand: 8 6/8 |
| Tues: White was the best corner for the South on Tuesday. He showed solid reaction time, good closing speed and the hands to snatch passes out of the air for interceptions. | |
| Wed: White didn't play at the same level he did Tuesday, getting beat in press coverage and not using his hands well. He did break up a pass on a quick slant but Wednesday was a step back for White. | |
| Thurs: White injured his ankle Wednesday and will not participate in Saturday's game. | |
