This insanely good, I'll piggyback to keep it in one spot as usual

Arkansas Landon Jackson DL Had a solid week of practice but turned it up to 11 for the game. He's a 4-3 end ... kind of guy the Lions would target in round 2, or more likely trade up for. He's a stud, likely 2nd rounder for me, just because of depth.

Boston College Ozzy Trapilo OL I was looking to see this guy in 1:1s ... because being 6-8 is more easily exposed in that situation. But? He handled business. Helped himself a lot. Looked natural on both sides. I like him as a 3rd round target to swing one year then take over for Havenstein.

Bowling Green Harold Fannin Jr. TE Had an average week and average game. I have him as a mid to late 2nd rounder and that was solidified IMO. He is a reception machine with great hands, but he's 5th or 6th in this class. He came in in that 2nd tier of TEs for me and had an OK week. OK weeks with this TE class isn't good enough, he's my 4th or 5th TE. Still 2nd round material.

Central Arkansas David Walker LB THis is one of the small school kids that starts slow, and then by the game you realize he's for real. Rush LB ... ended up with a couple sacks in the game and started getting 1:1 wins on Wednesday. 6th round target if he makes it that far?

Central Florida Kobe Hudson WR Kid has really surprisingly good tape and I think had one catch in the game, but he wasn't shown much in 1:1s, which bummed me out.

Florida State Azareye'h Thomas DB Okay so I was watching closely because I didn't do much FSU on account of them imploding this year. I tend to like guys with better feet, but he's likely a top 40 pick with what he showed, and I assume he'll be drafted higher after a strong combine. Had him later day 2, but he showed out bigtime, so he is absolutely in the top 40

Florida State Joshua Farmer DL He seemed raw, but also really strong. In this class it's hard to know where guys will go, because of the sheer volume of talent. For me, he's less my type because he has one game... power. Borderline 2nd third round to me. That said? He will be powerful at the next level as well. I like his game, I still think day 3, so there is some value with him IMO

Illinois Pat Bryant WR I started liking him this year, in fact I like the whole Illinois team. They're technically sound and mentally/physically tough. Reminds me of a more offense laden version of Iowa. He made some game changing plays, and he's an outside 2 or 4 in the right system. probably a 5th rounder but likely a lifer in the NFL.

Illinois St. Keondre Jackson DB He's a mix of LB and S at 217. I wasn't impressed.

Iowa Sebastian Castro DB Started career at CB moved to safety. Love him in coverage and tackling and forcing fumbles. He's a guy that you hate to play against. Likely a 3rd round steal immediate starter.

Iowa Yahya Black DL Pronounced "Y-Yay" ... this is a massive human being. 35 inch arms, 6-5 337. that's rare for Iowa because they like guys quick. He can do that as well. He didn't do great on 1:1s, but he did well (The O lines were solid). He's a steal anywhere after pick 100.

Iowa State Darien Porter DB 6-2.5 200 ... long arms. was a WR until 2 years ago. Raw. Looked raw in 1:1s. Needs to be developed. I wouldn't take him with a prime pick ... likely someone does. I'd have a 5th round grade on him.

Iowa State Jalen Travis OL He's big. Our type, so could be on the table if we think OT in the 4th. Needs some reps and had some trouble with the truly talented defense in 1:1s.

Iowa State Jayden Higgins WR Helped himself a lot. His Senior Bowl was better than his season. He won against every type of coverage and looked smooth doing it. If he runs well he could snaeak into the first round IMO. I'd have him mid 2nd, but WR is weak this year. Both Iowa St. kids were very impressive, Noel was better, Higgins though is a big target, 2nd round IMO

Iowa State Jaylin Noel WR Practice POW at his position. He's a thick slot, PR and KOR. there are more of these types, working the middle of the field with agility, but weighing in at 200 lbs. he's 5-10, so built like a RB. Lots of production, good hands. 4th-5th round ... I think Noel could sneak into the 3rd, he was that good this week. And with 3 WR sets the norm these days, good slots are valuable.

Laurier Taylor Elgersma QB Talk about a guy coming in and performing. Dude doesn't even play on the same size field or against the same number of players. That was just impressive. Likely a late round flier type, but he could spin it and had some good moments.

Louisville Quincy Riley DB One of my favorites throughout the year ... had a good week of 1:1s and a decent game. I like his tape, his feet, and his tackling. I'll likely have a late 2nd round grade on him and he'll likely be a fourth round pick. Tons of ball production at Louisville, fantastic week, I had him in that 4th to 5th round, maybe he's a third rounder now, want to see his time.

Louisville Tyler Shough QB I think I called my shot on this dude. Right? Anyone remember? He was the second best QB this week and basically the same in the game. There are QB needy teams at the tops of the rounds ... if he were to "Andy Dalton" early second after some team goes playmaker in the first I wouldn't be surprised. You called it, not sure where to slot him, but he had a good week.

Miami Jalen Rivers OL One of the lesser guys in 1:1, better in the game, though the defense won consistently during the game on both sides.

Miami Damien Martinez RB DNP in game, didn;t see if he got hurt. Biggest thing for him is weight. He came in at 241 and could still move. I have a second round grade on him, and given this class, he could slide to the 5th or even 6th.

Miami Elijah Arroyo TE I had questions about his routes and hands ... He probably jumped as high as anyone in this. Saying he had a great week is not enough. He could jump Loveland and we could have 3 TEs go top 20. He's a target at 26 for me. Uncoverable this week, he is my #3 TE and could push Loveland for #2, supposedly super smart and a high character work ethic kid to boot. I'm in love.

Miami Xavier Restrepo WR He's gonna run good routes, catch the ball, and play angry every snap. He's an asset, and if you value toughness, you take him in the second and have a leader on offense. Really solid WR that slots into that 2nd round and will exceed expectations.

Michigan Josaiah Stewart DL I wasn't as high on him coming in, and he upped it a little, but not likely to where they have him. 3rd 4th round rotational guy is the vibe for me.

Michigan Donovan Edwards RB His weight was a happy surprise. He's long lean and fast, and then he's 5-11 215? So while his vision and power may not be top 2 round material ... give him a crease or an open lane and he's taking house calls. I'm still not his biggest fan, day 3 guy in a deep draft.
Minnesota Jah Joyner DL See Josiah Stewart. He had some good wins but I'm not taking him first two rounds.

Minnesota Cody Lindenberg LB Kind of guy who lives football, but may not have the timed speed. This guy will live and die by the short shuttle and 3 cone. Sorry, but it matters. Old school backer, 2 down guy IMO, but he is a tough nosed SoB.

Minnesota Aireontae Ersery OL One of my top OT prospects coming in, did nothing to dissuade me this week. Miight be my #2 OT by the time all is said and done. A mountain of a human being and athletic to boot. Absolutely a 1st rounder.

Nebraska Tommi Hill DB Had some good reps, gut hurt last day of practice. if it's not serious he's in the 4th round convo.

Nebraska Ty Robinson DL One of my favorites coming into the year ... showed up light to the Senior Bowl but didn't lose any power. I have had him as a first rounder and that didn't change even though he weighed 271. He had a good game as well.

North Carolina State Anthony Belton OL Mountain of a man, heaviest player at 354. He doesn't have enough power or speed for that size but he wins more than he doesn't. I think he could be a pro bowler if he changed some of the weight to muscle and got a little quicker.

North Dakota State Grey Zabel OL Have a week, my friend. He moved around the line so he got the mst 1:1 reps of anyone ... and in the whole week? He lost one. One. Jumped from NDstate to first round IMO. Likely best at OG, but played all 5 positions. So yeah, as I was saying in another thread, will be an IOL (thats how he started at NDSU), and he is my #1 OC in the draft, late 1st early 2nd.

Oklahoma State Trey Rucker DB 6th year senior, kind of a brawler, almost "dirty" ... he had tough assignments covering these TEs, but he simply didn't win enough for my tastes. I think his injuries have slowed him, honestly.

Oklahoma State Nick Martin LB Both OK state Lbs are tackling machines. the heavier one can sack the QB, the smaller one is a Malcolm Rodriguez clone.

Oklahoma State Collin Oliver LB

Oklahoma State Ollie Gordon II RB He's just ... really big and has a lot of juice. Seeing him with the other RBs was eye opening. I had him high already because of watching tape ... but his burst was on display. Announcers were raving about his size "in person" ... Ill have him top 50 likely, though he could easily slide to the end of the 3rd in this class. Bad season on a bad team, I absolutely love his game and his size/speed combo, anything after round 2 is a steal.

Oregon Jamaree Caldwell DL Big boy ... 340. He won a lot of reps. I have no idea where these guys go, because there are simply so many, but I'd guess second frame here, and Im pretty sure I'll have him in that area.

Oregon Jeffrey Bassa LB Another big riser. There are good ILBs this draft. He was a great cover ... he was a thumper in team drills, and showed up in the game. Ill have a 2nd round grade on him. up and down games I saw of him (man Oregon was on TV alot, but he eats, sleeps and breathes football. Team captain, late 2nd to 3rd rounder IMO.

Oregon Josh Conerly Jr. OL I am not as impressed as most? His best attribute is sheer power, but I don't know how coordinated him movements are. Do Not LIKE with a 1st round pick. Take him in the 2nd and develop him, he could turn out to be very good. For a kid thats only 6'-4" he gets outleveraged too many times for my liking.

Oregon Dillon Gabriel QB He's better with players he knows. The accuracy/chemistry takes time to build, so it wasn't his best week. Wasn't bad... he just got overshadowed by Shough and Dart. But I already had him as a 2nd/3rd rounder with a possibility to rise.

Oregon Terrance Ferguson TE Had one of the best catches of the week. He doesn't get separation like the others, but he's the second most violent TE in the draft. 3rd round steal, I'll have him rated higher. If we take a WR in round one, he's my 3rd round target.

Oregon Tez Johnson WR Faster slightly taller Tank Dell. Route running gets him drafted high, so does likely 4.25 speed. Would I be interested? I'm gun shy because of Tank Dell's injury. He was uncoverable though. 155 lbs. I just have a hard time getting excited over a WR that small. That said, he was almost uncoverable this week. So day 2, just not LA.

Pittsburgh Gavin Bartholomew TE Scary good, scary underrated. I have watched him for four years. He competes every play. He has good but not great hands. I mean, Higbee level coming out. He could make the 6th in this class and be a steal. I feel like someone will take him earlier.

Purdue Marcus Mbow OL Not a real 1:1 specialist, plays better in full team, which is, you know, how we play football. Likely right side only. 6th round? Likely 5th I think.

Syracuse LeQuint Allen RB So ... interesting build at 6-0 207 ... not crazy fast ... good pass catcher but not shifty, uses violence instead. I watched a good amount of tape, and he's not spectacuala, but he gets it done. For me that's a quality backup.

Texas Tech Caleb Rogers OL Violent, but I feel like he needs tech work. Lots of energy, but got beat a lot.

Toledo Maxen Hook DB Smooth cover, needs to be the right scheme, not super athletic, good tackler. Will be around late.

Toledo Darius Alexander DL Ex-OT. First day I was hoping he'd chill, but he likely climbed into the top 40 with his "winning over and over" ... he'll be a second rounder for me. "Knows how to use his length" was the best comment.
UCLA Oluwafemi Oladejo LB Been an edge rusher for 10 games. Raw, but obviously was the right move for him. Taking him in the second might be early, but it wouldn't be stupid. I expect him to test out of the building at the combine.

UCLA Moliki Matavao TE His tape is better than the week he had. He's not fast ... so he doesn;t win the way you need to in 1:1 periods.

USC Jaylin Smith DB Had some good and some bad reps. Later rounder IMO.

USC Jonah Monheim OL Angry OC. Likely the top pure center in the draft. I'd likely have a 3rd on him.

USC Woody Marks RB 261 receptions. Tough. Stronger than he looks. He's not exceptional in this class.. but neither was Alvin Kamara.

Utah Junior Tafuna DL Had a lot of good reps in 1:1. Rotational guy that adds value, 4th 5th round?

Utah Karene Reid LB Had a decent amount of good reps. Utah LBs are solid, but likely to be taken later in the draft.

Virginia Jonas Sanker DB UVA makes good DBs, he's just next in line. bigger, at 6-1 210 ... if he slides I'be all over him late. He made some really good reads and tough plays.

Virginia Tech Aeneas Peebles DL "How he wins" ... = FAST. He's a play destroyer that could be overdrafted because of that. Likely a 3rd rounder for me.

Virginia Tech Bhayshul Tuten RB Had an okay week, his rise will come at the combine.

Virginia Tech Da'Quan Felton WR Big possession WR. Didn't show me more. Didn't win in 1:1s.

Virginia Tech Jaylin Lane WR Kid is a smaller slot but super twitchy with great hands. Didn't have the kind of QB he needed in college, likely to be underdrafted. Could be a real steal.

Washington State Kyle Williams WR Big play guy, lots of catches and yards. No idea where he goes.

West Virginia Wyatt Milum OL Probably didn't have the week he wanted, didn't seem like he "warmed up" til Thursday. And he has to be inside.

Western Michigan Bilhal Kone DB Liked his tape, had some good reps in 1:1 ... need to see his combine.
