I gave a bit of a preview on another post ... this will be my post notes.
I will say that there were two differences this year ... longer coverage, and more players bailing out of the game. I got an extended look during practice (now with multi screen camera stuff so watching multiple 1:1s was possible) and then got what I wanted from the game "kind of" ...
There were a lot of defensive line holdouts form the game and that was likely good, because the offense couldn't handle the D line. The CB group was not impressive. Not terrible, just the weakest class in a while at the Senior Bowl.
The RBs during the week gave me the impression that they would be a handful during the game and they did not disappoint.
The QBs were the worst in a while ... Cole Payton I'd say was obviously the best. So the WRs suffered a bit ... also there was wind that affected them.
With all DBs, I need their combine #s, only position where I simply have to have them.
The off ball LBs were the best I've seen during the PRACTICES ... the RBs broke a lot of tackles during the game.
One more note ... there's usually a few really good pass catching backs, and it was not the case, just Singleton and he didn't play in the game.
I'm going to erase players I don't have anything to say about so we're not completely inundated.
Alabama American JOSHUA CUEVAS 252 lbs 6030 80 TE
Leader, solid not spectacular, good second TEAlabama American TIM KEENAN III 332 lbs 6011 96 DT
Over the nose DT, aggressive and a clubber ... I'm not that enamored with his explosion, or lack thereof.Alabama American LT OVERTON 278 lbs 6026 22 DL
Where does he play? In college he plays the 5 tech on a 3 man front, I would rather see him as a base end.Arizona State American MAX IHEANACHOR 325 lbs 6055 58 OL
First target for swing OT ... but he may have gotten himself into the 1st round conversation though. I liked his tape, and his week was one of the better showings of anyone on the offensive side of the ball. Only OT that didn't get embarrassed.Arizona State American KEYSHAUN ELLIOTT 233 lbs 6015 44 LB
Maybe not the best week, not standing out, but he was a tackling machine that may slide.Arkansas American TAYLEN GREEN 229 lbs 6060 10 QB
I wish he was better. Maybe he needs more time, but he's had time, good coaching, and good talent around him for a while now.Arkansas American FERNANDO CARMONA 318 lbs 6044 79 OL
Mixed in some at OC, so interior line swing ... I don't know if he starts for anyone as a rookie, but he's a mauler. 5th round?Arkansas American CAMERON BALL 313 lbs 6035 92 DT
Liked his tape pretty well, had a similar week, inconsistent a bit, but later in the draft I'd be happy to add him.Arkansas American XAVIAN SOREY 220 lbs 6017 32 LB
So ... had a solid practice week that ramped up and got better, and had the best game of the off ball backers. I don't know if we can do this level of undersized in our division.Arkansas American MIKE WASHINGTON JR 228 lbs 6004 27 RB
I loved him coming in and thought he had a great week through the game. Again I pay attention regardless of our needs because of fantasy ball. this kid could be the second best back in this class and not be drafted until the 5th round.Arkansas American JULIAN NEAL 202 lbs 6014 18 CB
So there isn't much tape on him even though I saw Arkansas a lot ... I'm guessing they did not throw at him at all. I need to see more but he had some good reps. Thoughts from anyone here?Auburn American JEREMIAH WRIGHT 340 lbs 6050 77 OL
Beefy, mean, mauler. Wins by size "and the ability to use it" ... might not be our style or need given our maulers.Auburn American KEYRON CRAWFORD 251 lbs 6037 24 OLB
Inconsistent but flashes ... he needs to develop so will likely drop a bit ... but he's new to the sport relatively so if you want to coach him up. I like him because when he wins, he wins fast.Baylor National SAWYER ROBERTSON 221 lbs 6035 12 QB
I like him overall as a backup but even there he needs development. There was a lot of pressure on him because his defense was so bad so he presses still and needs to be brought back from that psychologically.Baylor National JOSH CAMERON 223 lbs 6012 34 WR
One of my guys ... he had a great beginning of week then kinda tailed off. Feels like a 3rd rounder but he'll likely outplay that because he's got great body control, subtle route separation nuance, and 10+ inch hands.Boston College American LEWIS BOND 197 lbs 5110 11 WR
I think this is an exact Marvin Jones clone. He's almost always open and unspectacular until someone makes a mistake.Boston College American LOGAN TAYLOR 305 lbs 6063 68 OL
I thought he had a better week than I expected ... I need to see more.Boston College American QUINTAYVIOUS HUTCHINS 229 lbs 6024 15 DE
Smaller edge rusher that makes plays regardless. Likely later and could be a valuable special teamer and situational rusher.Brigham Young American JACK KELLY 246 lbs 6011 17 LB
This is one of my LB targets. He is a weapon. FF, INT, sacks. I mean, 10 sacks. He is also carrying just shy of 250 and goes sideline to sideline like he's 220.California National HEZEKIAH MASSES 180 lbs 6005 12 CB
Ballhawk ... maybe just an average week.Clemson American TJ PARKER 263 lbs 6035 9 DE
He fell a bit during the season but closed out well and practiced well before skipping the game ... borderline round 1 player with top 15 talent.Dartmouth National DELBY LEMIEUX 305 lbs 6050 50 OL
He held his own against some really big dudes.Played OT at Dartmouth and OC this week and handled the change just fine. Got my eyes on him.Duke National CHANDLER RIVERS 185 lbs 5093 0 CB
This is one of my later round targets, not late late, like 3rd or 4th. He's solid in coverage, but he tackles as well as any CB in this draft. Like stopped a 220 lb RB with momentum from getting a first.Duke National VINCENT ANTHONY JR 246 lbs 6053 52 DE
This guy I feel like Im missing something on why he's not rated higher. He's got top 50 talent, great size and length, and makes plays. He had 2 fumble recoveries and 1 FF in the game. He's a target.Florida American AUSTIN BARBER 318 lbs 6065 78 OL
He had a rough week I thought he'd hold up better. He fell for me.Florida American CALEB BANKS 6-6 330 DT
Meh. Gets caught upright and nullfied but flashes crazy athleticism every ten plays.Florida American JAKE SLAUGHTER 305 lbs 6044 66 OL
One of my interior guys, like him mid rounds, thought he was a bit overwhelmed but I wasn't super upset with his play.Florida International National KEJON OWENS RB
Seems to have 5 yards in him but that's it.Georgia American DAYLEN EVERETTE 193 lbs 6007 1 CB
Physical, fast, but maybe grabby? I can't do grabby.Georgia State American TED HURST 207 lbs 6032 7 WR
Freak athlete had the second best catch of the week (there were 4-5 really wild ones) on a one handed bomb TD. Theoretically runs a 4.30.Georgia Tech National KEYLAN RUTLEDGE 316 lbs 6033 77 OL
People mover, man scheme preferred, 10 year starter likely day 2 pick.Houston National TANNER KOZIOL 245 lbs 6064 88 TE
He was the best TE in 1:1 drills wasn't really used in games. Watch him for fantasy because he has a ton of production.Illinois American LUKE ALTMYER 210 lbs 6012 9 QB
This is my favorite for us as backup. Has led 6 game winning or overtime drives.Illinois American JC DAVIS 335 lbs 6042 74 OL
Long enough arms for outside, target for swing OT could be had in the 4th?Illinois American GABE JACAS 260 lbs 6031 52 DL
Pronounced "Akkas" ... he made a lot of money this week blowing people up. The explosion was really noticeable where I maybe hadn't seen enough of it on tape.Indiana American KAELON BLACK 208 lbs 5096 26 RB
Hadn't rated him because I didn't know he was a senior, had him confused with someone ... he's really strong, mentally tough coming with Cignetti from JMU and obviously competing more than adequately without the benefit of time off. Can't mess with someone that mentally tough.Iowa National GENNINGS DUNKER 320 lbs 6047 68 OL
He holds up at ORT, I don't think he can swing. I think someone takes him to start in a year and it's not us.Iowa National MAX LLEWELLYN 255 lbs 6052 90 DE
One of my mid round crushes who I think is really instinctive and strong that may not get enough bend to be a premier pass rusher.Iowa National TJ HALL 188 lbs 6004 18 CB
Didn't see him this week, so I'll wait.John Carroll National TYREN MONTGOMERY 190 lbs 5113 7 WR
Had one of the better catches of the week, super small school kid that showed up, no idea where he ends up.Kansas State National SAMUEL HECHT 297 lbs 6042 55 OL
Didn't ring a bell from tape but K State kids are coached well, and he had a solid week. Interior swing watch.Kansas State National VJ PAYNE 210 lbs 6031 19 SAF
Have liked his game for years, need to see #s.Kentucky National SETH MCGOWAN 215 lbs 5115 32 RB
I thought he made money this week. Kentucky was messy and he came here and looked the part. Where? To who? Likely not us.Kentucky National JALEN FARMER 322 lbs 6046 52 OL
This is a powerful dude. Likely not ours ...LSU American GARRETT NUSSMEIER 202 lbs 6010 13 QB
I think he could Kirk Cousins maybe? He's just not ready to be anything but a backup. He lacks talent in areas that would mean he'd have to be perfect in others, and he isn't.LSU American BARION BROWN 176 lbs 5107 6 WR
I think he's overrated. Nothing changed that opinion.Miami American JAMES BROCKERMEYER 297 lbs 6031 72 OL
First off, he and Bell get extra points for showing up. I thought he held up pretty well ... Need to see more because I was always watching the tackles.Miami American MARKEL BELL OL
So ... he got embarrassed on day one then put together a solid week. I think he's in the conversation for swing OT.Michigan American RAYSHAUN BENNY 296 lbs 6030 26 DT
We've watched him disrupt for a couple years now. How highly is he valued? I honestly don't know. I'd say his get off is a separating factor.Michigan American DERRICK MOORE 254 lbs 6034 8 DE
This was a revelation. I'd say he could go top 20 now. one of the bigger jumps of the week is not the biggest. He was in another weight class.Minnesota National DEVEN EASTERN 301 lbs 6054 91 DT
This guy is an enigma and I thought this week might help ... nope. 2nd round? 6th round? I wouldn't be surprised either way.Missouri American KEVIN COLEMAN JR 174 lbs 5110 12 WR
Kid is solid slot ... pulls away from coverage on crossing routes.Missouri American CHRIS MCCLELLAN 315 lbs 6033 97 DT
I have liked him consistently over years, rotational piece with some splash play ability.Missouri American ZION YOUNG 262 lbs 6052 9 DE
He played up to his potential and showcased tenacity, THEN played in the game. I have him with D Moore in the top 20. He's a sack guy, but his run defense is equally impressive. He has a Verse body.North Carolina State National JUSTIN JOLY 251 lbs 6030 17 TE
Not for us, but he can catch a lot of passes.
North Carolina State National CIAN SLONE 239 lbs 6031 8 DE
He's a "mostly special teams" situational edge rusher with tons of effort.North Dakota State National COLE PAYTON 229 lbs 6023 9 QB
thought he threw a better ball than I expected, still just a backup but he impressed me.Northwestern American FRED Davis II 197 lbs 6000 1 CB
I need to see more, he didn;t have an INT in college but had one in the game?Notre Dame American MALACHI FIELDS 218 lbs 6040 0 WR
Did have the best catch of the week. Reminded me of Higgins, but ... better. I didn't want to like him but he showed solid route running and his hands are huge. If he runs under 4.5, which he nmight, he could jump Denzel Boston.Ohio State American WILL KACMAREK 262 lbs 6050 87 TE
Not often used on OSU, he had a week where he's going to be in conversations, still believe he's best as a second TE, but the NFL is using more dual TE sets.Ohio State American DAVISON IGBINOSUN 192 lbs 6020 31 DB
He cleaned up penalties this year but had a kind of off week. I have confusion around him.Oklahoma American JAYDN OTT 202 lbs 5107 8 RB
Cool story because of how it ends. He had to leave early because he burned a year playing 3 games of lacrosse and they didn't give him an eligibility waiver even though he only got 21 carries this year. He then killed it this week. Went from off the board to a likely 4th rounder.Oklahoma National GRACEN HALTON 293 lbs 6024 56 DT
He had a great couple days of practice, then I don't know what happened. Did he leave early? get hurt? He flashed.Oregon National BRYCE BOETTCHER 227 lbs 6007 46 LB
Kid is a talented two sport athlete, and an active LB, but again, I don't think our division allows small LBs.Penn State National NICK SINGLETON 221 lbs 6000 10 RB
Didn't play in the game, received well as expected and I think he wiull be underrated until he runs a 4.35.Penn State National KAYTRON ALLEN 220 lbs 5111 11 RB
Had some good runs in practice but didn't play in the game, didn't need to.Penn State National ZANE DURANT 290 lbs 6007 28 DT
Disruptive smaller dude, I don't think he'd be there when I'd take him, he'll go earlier.Penn State National DANI DENNIS-SUTTON 268 lbs 6053 33 DE
Beast, Like Young and Anthony. ... Didn't play in the game. There are like 5 guys with this height weight speed Verse like presence.Penn State National ZAKEE WHEATLEY 201 lbs 6026 6 SAF
Was practice player of the week at this position ... Pittsburgh National KYLE LOUIS 224 lbs 5116 31 LB
Coverage LB that will make someone really happy if he fits in their scheme. Had great reps.San Diego State National CHRIS JOHNSON 190 lbs 6002 2 CB
Came in with hype and then was pretty tame. Not much energy.SMU National JEFFREY M'BA 316 lbs 6054 99 DT
Ive liked him for a while, he's on my possible rotational list, but I wanted him to be more violent.SMU National MATTHEW HIBNER 6-5 251 TE Need to see more but he's climbing.
South Carolina American JALON KILGORE 211 lbs 6007 23 SAF
Have liked him for years, maybe he gets into our range?South Carolina American RAHSUL FAISON 5-11 205 RB His week was not what I wanted for him which may make him available late or post draft.
South Carolina American NICK BARRETT 315 lbs 6030 93 DT
I wanted him to have a better week, also.Stanford American SAM ROUSH 259 lbs 6055 86 TE
Really good TE that had a relatively poor showing.Syracuse American DAN VILLARI 243 lbs 6040 88 TE
He's a violent dude that played QB ... so I wouldn't underestimate his presence. he showed that.TCU National BUD CLARK 185 lbs 6010 21 SAF One of my favorite players the last few years ... he is older so he could fall even though his talent says Day 2. He had multiple picks and PBUs in practice.
TCU National DJ ROGERS 242 lbs 6030 0 TE
Will be underrated. Made a nice catch under pressure in the practice finale.Tennessee National BRYSON EASON 316 lbs 6023 20 DT
Kind of a monster, Day 2 guy.Tennessee National COLTON HOOD 188 lbs 5116 27 CB
So, I thought he jumped and was head and shoulders above the rest of the CBs.Tennessee National TYRE WEST DL
Came from another All star game and showed up a bit, still later round.Texas American MICHAEL TAAFFE 193 lbs 5115 16 SAF
Was kind of absent, though I know his leadership skills were there because of where he stood in the groupings.Texas American MALIK MUHAMMAD 183 lbs 5117 7 CB
Played pretty physical and a little grabby. He's a maybe mid rounds if he can get that under control.Texas A&M National TREY ZUHN III 309 lbs 6063 60 OL
Can play any position on the O line, so he's a target just for that. He needs a year of strength training.Texas A&M National DAMETRIOUS CROWNOVER 331 lbs 6067 78 OL
You know, he had an okay week for an OT, they did not do well against the ends .. so I'm going to keep my eye on him.Texas A&M National NATE BOERKIRCHER TE
He showed out well, still a 2 ...Texas Tech National REGGIE VIRGIL 188 lbs 6023 15 WR
I wanted him to stay secret but he had a great week. I was hoping he'd slide but I doubt it now.Texas Tech National CALEB DOUGLAS 198 lbs 6032 5 WR
Not my type but he had a solid week. I think Virgil is better all day.Texas Tech National LEE HUNTER 320 lbs 6034 10 DT
Given his rating coming in, he had a bad week. He just got handled consistently.Texas Tech National ROMELLO HEIGHT 234 lbs 6023 37 DE
Again, situational rusher and special teamer. Get him in the 6th.Texas Tech National JACOB RODRIGUEZ 233 lbs 6011 35 LB
in one practice he had two FF and one INT, multiple pass breakups. If you told me he went in the teens I'd be like "yep" ... He's a weapon and he's shown it at every stage.USC American JA'KOBI LANE 196 lbs 6041 89 WR
Big hands .. has some room to develop ... I don't think he's agile or sudden and that's my rub.
Utah National LOGAN FANO 258 lbs 6043 50 DE
You know, he impressed me a bit and moved up my board. He's likely rotational, but I trust him to fill for an injury and hold and edge and rush the passer.Virginia National J'MARI TAYLOR 205 lbs 5091 4 RB
I wanted him to have a better week, but he still showed up solid, just don't throw him the ball.Washington American EPHESIANS PRYSOCK 194 lbs 6027 21 CB
Long arms, broke stuff up, need the agility and burst #s.Western Michigan National NADAME TUCKER OLB
14 sacks on the year ... made his presence felt "a bit" ...Wyoming American JOHN MICHAEL GYLLENBORG 251 lbs 6053 84
I hadn't seen him, came off impressed, will be watching his combine closely.
