So, some really interesting standouts ... WRs and OTs ... we will be able to get an OT at 52 I believe. Maybe even one that could start if Noteboom needs more time, one that may even take his place. Barely any D line Players were winning one on one reps ... save Marlon Davidson and bull rushes by Kinlaw. And basically zero good reps from CBs against these WRs.

Fotu and Aiyuk have medical red flags.

Gonna give you heads up on these guys as much as possible ... still watching practice but have 2 out of 3 down ..

My targets will be in bold.

NORTH
Notre Dame Troy Pride Jr. CB IND athlete that is proving he can play CB ... He never really flashed but I may have missed it.

Iowa Michael Ojemudia CB Big Ten Like this kid, have for years ... but I feel like he's a little stiff. Needs a good jam.

Nebraska Lamar Jackson CB Big Ten Big kid, little handsy.

Wake Forest Essang Bassey CB ACC Really underrated so Im glad he got a shot here. Slot corner.

Utah Terrell Burgess DB Pac-12 I have liked Utah DBs forever ... better in games than in practice.

Minnesota Carter Coughlin DE Big Ten Weighed in small .. haven't seen him on the practice field. He is a relentless rusher but he needs to test well at the combine.

Michigan Josh Metellus DS Big Ten He just doesn't flash that much for me.

Michigan Khaleke Hudson DS Big Ten I like him for special teams, that's it.

Notre Dame Jalen Elliott DS IND

California Ashtyn Davis DS Pac-12 Skipped his bowl game then got a medical red flag. He was a leader and I have good tape on him, but his post season has been sloppy. Really like this kid.

Southern Illinois Jeremy Chinn DS FCS haven't seen him yet. I think he is going to be a LBer down the road. Or that big nickel / 3rd S combo

Notre Dame Alohi Gilman DS IND Another golden domer never jumped out during the year.

North Carolina State Larrell Murchison DT ACC This kis is odd sized and might just be a 5 tech ... inconsistent flashes.

Oklahoma Neville Gallimore DT Big 12 Everyone else likes him more than I do. Love him as my #3 DT. Powerhouse

Utah Leki Fotu DT Pac-12 My target for the nose hopefully slides to round 3. so do I

Nebraska Darrion Daniels DT Big Ten Followed him around his career ... Don't think he really fully developed

Ohio State DaVon Hamilton DT Big Ten Bigger than I thought weighing in at 317. Not in love with him, but he is a gamer

Michigan Joshua Uche EDGE Big Ten Loved his tape this year and think of him exactly like the USC kid two years ago (last year?) at 6'-1" and 240, what is he? a SSLB in a 43? a 34 pass rush specialist? I like him, not sure where to put him

North Carolina Jason Strowbridge EDGE ACC Standard powerful 7 tech run stopping DE in a 4-3. Not flashy but should have a good career. couldn't have said it better myself

Syracuse Alton Robinson EDGE ACC 43 end that had, IMO, a disappointing season

Miami Trevon Hill EDGE ACC Followed him around through VTech to Miami, where he did okay. He flashed a few times ... weighed in small.

Utah Bradlee Anae EDGE Pac-12 Having a good week, and Ive liked his myriad of moves, and sometimes he can't be stopped. Like not love him

Michigan State Kenny Willekes EDGE Big Ten Love his motor. Doubt he tests well enough.

California Evan Weaver ILB Pac-12 Love this kid. Think he gets underdrafted even if he runs well. He'll get under drafted because the NFL is moving away from ILBers like him. That said, there is a place for him

Ohio State Malik Harrison ILB Big Ten Physically he's a big deal. I like him. yup, he goes early

Utah Francis Bernard ILB Pac-12 Not as good as the kids last year, but worth a backup spot.

Wyoming Logan Wilson LB MWC backup.

Iowa State Steve Wirtel LS Big 12

Washington Nick Harris OC Pac-12 2nd round OC ... heavy hands. 3rd round IMO, short and light at 6'-1" 293 lbs, got pushed around this week

Ohio State Jonah Jackson OG Big Ten The Oline in this game is killing the D line.

Michigan Ben Bredeson OG Big Ten Should be a round 2 guy. Love him, I think he is there in the 3rd or 4th round.

Temple Matt Hennessy OL AAC One of my targets ... late 4th round may slide ... He handled Penn State kids just fine. Good, good football player.

Wisconsin Zack Baun OLB Big Ten Might be my target at 52 if he's still there. My guess is he runs well enough to go in the first. As a what? again, smaller dude. I'm wondering if he couldnt be a ILBer at his size. He's too good to not find a spot for him on a football field somewhere.

Connecticut Matt Peart OT AAC UConn is a mess, but I have his name on my list so Im watching him close.

West Virginia Colton McKivitz OT Big 12 Interesting Durant at the East West and the ORT here ...

Houston Josh Jones OT AAC I liked him at Houston but wanted to see him in one on ones and he's really good. Any chance he makes 52? Doubt it. I just don't see him getting to 52, but it'd be cool if he did

Wake Forest Justin Herron OT ACC I like that guys I picked out over the years are showing up here and balling. Herron can play.

North Carolina Charlie Heck OT ACC I called this guy at the beginning of the year ... he may need a year of strength training but his dad is a coach and he's 6-7 310 with really smooth feet and bend.

Kansas Hakeem Adeniji OT Big 12 Not a big fan .. curious to see him tomorrow.

Georgia Southern Tyler Bass PK Sun Belt
Texas A&M Braden Mann PT SEC

Michigan Shea Patterson QB Big Ten Never been a fan. same, never liked him

Washington State Anthony Gordon QB Pac-12 Throws a good ball. Had a good year. He would be my QB target late

Utah State Jordan Love QB MWC The sweetheart riser of this year ...

UCLA Joshua Kelley RB Pac-12 Emotional leader, underrated runner ... definitely a target to take Malcolm's spot. 6th round? RBs slide.

Baylor JaMycal Hasty RB Big 12 Serious burst and strength ... has been overlooked alllll year. 6th?

TCU Darius Anderson RB Big 12 has speed ... change of pace smaller back. not "small" just "smaller"

Dayton Adam Trautman TE FCS This kid got my attention in one rep. Draft and train.

Portland State Charlie Taumoepeau TE FCS 6-2 ... not a TE.

Michigan Sean McKeon TE Big Ten as a 3rd TE to draft in the 6th or 7th? Maybe.

Purdue Brycen Hopkins TE Big Ten He's on everyone's radar so he'll go early. 1st TE off the board? Probably

SMU James Proche WR AAC Slot kid. Catches everything.

USC Michael Pittman Jr. WR Pac-12 Probably the head of the best Senior Bowl WR class Ive seen. Tall AND fast, I like him a bit

Baylor Denzel Mims WR Big 12 Will be underrated ... Sneaky speed and can get deep. I like him a ton

Ohio State KJ Hill WR Big Ten Having a great week. Great route runner. I also like him quite a bit

Liberty Antonio Gandy-Golden WR FBS Little challenged by bigger competition, but I like his moves, draft and train? 6-4 223 he was outclassed a bit by Mims, Pittman and the like, but who wouldn't be.

Notre Dame Chase Claypool WR IND Better route runner than I thought and better hands ... 6-4 229. He had a good week.

Texas A&M Quartney Davis WR SEC Kid can haul. I don't know why Jimbo Fisher doesn;t get the most of his WRs ... but this kid can play.



SOUTH

Georgia Southern Kindle Vildor CB Sun Belt Underwhelming this week. Tough gigs against giant WRs, but still.

Pittsburgh Dane Jackson CB ACC Probably my favorite here tied with the next guy

Oklahoma State A.J. Green CB Big 12 Had Ceedee Lamb duty. Holding up fine against these big Wrs.

UCLA Darnay Holmes DB Pac-12 Think the Pitt slot that's on Philly now.

Tulsa Reggie Robinson II DB AAC Having a rough time against the speed.

Auburn Marlon Davidson DE SEC Best at one on ones ... showed up at 297. He'd be my choice to replace Brockers as a 34 end

Florida Jabari Zuniga DE SEC Getting shut down in one on ones, I didn't think he had that great of a year. Yeah, I'm thinking middle of the draft

Tulsa Trevis Gipson DE AAC the OTs are just really good. Gipson is BIG and is used to that being enough.

Clemson K'Von Wallace DS ACC Had some great reps in coverage. I know him as a hitter.

Alabama Jared Mayden DS SEC Meh.

Lenoir Rhyne Kyle Dugger DS SAC Need to see more.

Mississippi State Brian Cole II DS SEC I liked him, likely backup.

Maryland Antoine Brooks Jr. DS Big Ten Thumper special teamer.

South Carolina Javon Kinlaw DT SEC Monster ... 6-6 325 and can play with leverage and get you on your heels real fast. Maybe the top pick form this game. He's my #2 DT behind Brown. Would absolutely love to see him in horns

Ole Miss Benito Jones DT SEC I have watched this kid's whole career. He can anchor, and if you sleep on him he will eat your lunch. 6-1 329. one of my favorite NTs

Ole Miss Josiah Coatney DT SEC Better mover but I like him at 5 tech even at 317 because of his length.

Penn State Robert Windsor DT Big Ten I don't have this guy on my list?

Tennessee Darrell Taylor Jr. EDGE SEC Liked him during the year ...

South Carolina D.J. Wonnum EDGE SEC Regressed some ...

Florida Jonathan Greenard EDGE SEC Expected him better in one on ones. But the OTs may really be that good. He would be my round 3 edge target. Wanted to like Zuniga more, but Greenard had a better season, and I thought a decent week

Alabama Anfernee Jennings ILB SEC Remembered him a s abetter pass rusher.

South Carolina T.J. Brunson ILB SEC Good not great.

Alabama Terrell Lewis LB SEC Got better this year at rushing. He's on my short list at 52

LSU Blake Ferguson LS SEC

Kentucky Logan Stenberg OG SEC Love him. Tape and this week. might be the top IL in the draft when its all said and done

Clemson John Simpson OG ACC Like this clemson O lineman

Saint John's Ben Bartch OG Division III Who is this kid? OT who just buried everyone. He didn't lose a rep I saw.

LSU Damien Lewis OL SEC Gets a bit manhandled ... my memory is that he works better in a group.

Clemson Tremayne Anchrum OL ACC Not a fan.

San Diego State Keith Ismael OL MWC Is he strong enough? I like his play.

LSU Lloyd Cushenberry III OL SEC Glad he declared, definitely watching. Holding his own, even against Kinlaw. Yup he is OC #1 or #2 along with Biadasz

Colorado Davion Taylor OLB Pac-12 Run and chase will.

Appalachian State Akeem Davis-Gaither OLB Sun Belt See above.

Penn State Cameron Brown OLB Big Ten Big rangy kid ... 6-5 238 ...

Auburn Prince Tega Wanogho OT SEC Med red flag? short arms, injury and raw. Let someone else develop him

South Carolina St. Alex Taylor OT FCS Again, this kids all looked good this week.

Texas Tech Terence Steele OT Big 12 Stunned by him in one on ones. Did amazing ... I don;t know if anyone else helped themselves as much in the one on ones.

Mississippi State Tyre Phillips OT SEC Slow footed heavy handed.

Georgia Rodrigo Blankenship PK SEC
South Carolina Joseph Charlton PT SEC

Colorado Steven Montez QB Pac-12 I think he'll be a solid backup. Big frame with wheels.

Oklahoma Jalen Hurts QB Big 12 I think he's being undervalued, like Dak. He's stronger and more durable, and a better passer than I feel anyone thinks. He's been througha lot, a leader, really likeable guy. I see more Donovan McNabb given his improvements in passing. if he lasted until round 6 I would scoop him up, he needs to go to the right coach

Oregon Justin Herbert QB Pac-12 Just an NFL QB. I take him at 7 if Im the Chargers. #3 QB, needs to clean up some mechanics, but his arm is legit.

Vanderbilt Ke'Shawn Vaughn RB SEC These RBs are all tough. And oddly all "can" break away

Florida Lamical Perine RB SEC Will run away from you or through you. I just love this guy

Arizona State Eno Benjamin RB Pac-12 For me he has too many miles on the chassis. maybe, but in a committee it probably wouldn't be too bad. I like him

Memphis Antonio Gibson RB AAC I like his teammate better.

LSU Stephen Sullivan TE SEC Don't sleep in this guy. Converted WR.

Vanderbilt Jared Pinkney TE SEC Kid was my top coming into this year and had an off year ... if he slides IM all over him for our 3rd TE (I want two TE sets all game) Nailed it in your commnets. all of them

Cincinnati Josiah Deguara TE AAC Hback 6-2

Florida Atlantic Harrison Bryant TE C-USA Another high end TE that could get lost in the 3-5 round mix after the first guys come off the board.

Ohio State Austin Mack WR Big Ten I want more out of him, but he's not bad. Just never seemed to fully "launch"

Vanderbilt Kalija Lipscomb WR SEC Powerful WR with better route running abiity than I expected.

Texas Collin Johnson WR Big 12 Kid is pretty nimble and a good route runner for his size. If he runs well, he could climb.

Tennessee Jauan Jennings WR SEC Monster. He ran the wild cat in the SEC. Most broken tackles and yards after contact.

Florida Van Jefferson WR SEC Great route runner, son of NFL WR coach looked real good this week.

Texas Devin Duvernay WR Big 12 My favorite pick would be this guy at the end of the 3rd or mid fourth. Track star. 6-0 215. Runs realllllly angry. Can run by or through you. really under the radar kid because of Collin Johnson. This kid is legit

Arizona State Brandon Aiyuk WR Pac-12 Med red flag but likley second rounder. probably
