[peplaw06]

How do they set up these rosters? Texas and Baylor on the North, Oklahoma and TCU on the South?

 

[dbair1967]

I think it has something to do with balancing the teams, but not sure how they decide it. Its like that just about every year though where you can find players that don't seem to match up geographically.

Senior Bowl: Listing Out 10 Prospects With Rising Stock After Mobile Performance


Friday, January 23, 2015 10:33 AM CST
By Dane Brugler

MOBILE, Ala. - The 2015 edition of the Senior Bowl will be played this Saturday, but the heavy lifting is already done as all 32 NFL teams were represented in Mobile this week to evaluate prospects during daily practices. The game itself, scheduled for 4 p.m. eastern on NFL Network, carries some value, but the majority of scouts and executives have already left town, having seen what they needed to see.

Below are 10 Senior Bowl prospects who opened eyes this week and helped themselves in the minds of NFL evaluators.

CB Kevin White, TCU

During practice drills, White displayed the athleticism needed for the position with natural movement skills, swivel hips and explosive footwork to redirect his momentum in any direction. Measuring 5-9 and 180 pounds with arms under the 30-inch benchmark, White doesn’t necessarily look the part, but he is a top-notch competitor who doesn’t back down physically, attacking the catch point with a “my ball” attitude.

DT Carl Davis, Iowa

After playing mostly a one-technique role for the Hawkeyes, Davis didn’t have too many splash plays on his college game film. But when put in one-on-one opportunities in Mobile, he was near unblockable, using his initial quickness, brute power and natural leverage to shine during drills. Davis was already considered a top-75 draft pick entering the week, but after this week, he might have cemented himself as a top-50 prospect.

WR Jamison Crowder, Duke

It can be tough for a 5-8, 174-pound wide receiver to stand tall in this type of all-star setting, but that’s exactly what Crowder did this week, showing the best combination of explosion and polish at the position. He has a tiny catching radius and small hands (8 3/8”), but caught everything thrown his way during drills, showing the ballskills and separation skills that will appeal to teams in search of an impact slot target.

DE/OLB Nate Orchard, Utah

Despite a record-setting senior season at Utah, Orchard wasn’t considered a first round pick entering the week and was far from being a top-100 lock. But he forced evaluators to take a second look after he routinely flashed during practices, winning with edge speed, long arms and active energy. Orchard has his limitations, but he also uses his bag of tricks to be effective, reinforcing that at times the end result is more important than the process.

DT Danny Shelton, Washington

Shelton entered the week with a good amount of hype and he lived up to the expectations, showing off rare movement skills for a 343-pound body. He also has the upper body power to match, but got away with bullying blockers in college and needs to develop his hand technique for the next level. As the week winds down, Shelton is the prevailing favorite to be the first player drafted from the Senior Bowl rosters.

CB Quinten Rollins, Miami (Ohio)

When small school and MAC prospects participate at the Senior Bowl, it’s easy to tell right away whether or not they belong. And Rollins belongs, competing with the best seniors in the country and holding his own. With only one year of experience at the position, he had his hiccups, but also displayed the recovery speed and twitchiness that cornerbacks need to be effective at the next level.

RB David Johnson, Northern Iowa

Looking like a linebacker during the weigh-ins, Johnson was another small school player who immediately proved that he belonged, especially as pass catcher out of the backfield. He doesn’t have the traditional frame for the position and might be best suited as a hybrid H-back role, utilizing his ability as a receiver and blocker in pass pro. But regardless, he’s a versatile prospect teams would love to add to the depth chart.

OT La’el Collins, LSU

Just like his game tape, it didn’t always look pretty for Collins in Mobile, but more often than not, he gets the job done. Seeing reps at tackle and guard, he showed the same grit and determination during drills that he does during games, extending and selling out on each snap. Collins will fall off balance and overextend himself at times, but he also showed that he can recover and finish his blocks. He reinforced the first round grades being thrown at him.

FB Jalston Fowler, Alabama

Although he’s tagged with the “fullback” label, Fowler showed that he’s much more than that. With only 12 carries as a senior for the Crimson Tide, he was an afterthought on that offense, but after seeing him during Senior Bowl practices, it was clear he was also underutilized. During drills, Fowler was quick through the hole with decisive quickness and the pop to brush off contact, keeping his feet and rumbling to the second level.

G/C Shaq Mason, Georgia Tech

It was easy to see Mason’s body control and quickness in Georgia Tech’s triple option offense, but it was near impossible to truly evaluate him until seeing him outside of that scheme. This week in Mobile provided scouts that opportunity to judge his talent in a pro-style look and Mason didn’t disappoint. He made the easy transition and even took some snaps at center, which might be his best NFL position.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Kevin White is interesting. We need to draft corners who can play. Not just be big.

 

[Midswat]

Carl Davis is appealing in round 2.

 

[ThoughtExperiment]

So who did or didn't look good today? Any of you losers watch it?

 

[Midswat]

Didn't watch. Not watching Pro Bowl either. I'm trying to send the NFL a message for screwing the Cowboys. #cowboyjoe

 

[ThoughtExperiment]

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Apparently White impressed again during the game.

 

[peplaw06]

I saw about a half of a drive. David Johnson from Northern Iowa had an very impressive TD run for the first score of the game. Artis-Payne got the North down close and he ran it in for 19 yards... made a lot of guys miss in close quarters.

2015 Senior Bowl: Recap

By Charlie Campbell - @draftcampbell


Iowa defensive tackle Carl Davis had a mixed Senior Bowl. On the field, he was superb, but he was equally awful in the team interviews. Davis gave a terrible impression, as he came across lazy and arrogant. During the actual game, it was similar to practice when he was living in the backfield. He had a tackle for a loss and was firing into the backfield constantly. Davis needs a complete 180 in his attitude and interview skills for the Combine and pre-draft visits.


The running backs really shined on Saturday. Nebraska's Ameer Abdullah, Yale's Tyler Varga, and Minnesota's David Cobb all ran well. After a 19-yard run, Abdullah ripped off a gain of 25 yards, showing speed and cutting ability. In the third quarter, Cobb powered into the end zone for a touchdown. Varga had two scores in the second half. Abdullah looks like a mid pick on day two and Cobb could have pushed himself into Friday night consideration after his Senior Bowl. Varga will to compete to make it as a backup and special teams contributor. All three backs handled themselves well.


The running backs on the South were impressive as well. Auburn's Cameron Artis-Payne and Northern Iowa's David Johnson ran well to move the ball for a score on the first drive. Artis-Payne had 52 yards on the drive including a 24-yard screen pass. Johnson finished it with a 19-yard touchdown run. Both runners looked good, and Johnson helped himself at the Senior Bowl.


Colorado State quarterback Garrett Grayson had a quality week. In the game, he had some well-thrown passes including a slant to Sammie Coates for a first down. He made a perfectly placed ball to Miami tight end Clive Walford for a good gain, but Walford dropped it. After a few good throws on a field drive, Grayson missed a wide open tight end for a touchdown.










Oregon State quarterback Sean Mannion did what he did all week, as well as his senior year, when he played inconsistently. Mannion threw some beauties, but also missed some open receivers and held onto the ball too long. With his size and arm, Mannion has a skill set for the NFL but he needs to improve his accuracy and improve his field vision with working through progressions faster.


Penn State offensive tackle Donovan Smith had a strong week of practice, and he was superb in the game. He was opening holes in the ground game and happened to be rock solid as a pass protector. Smith showed the power to move defenders, and his strength allows him sustain his pass blocks. Smith really helped himself in Mobile.


Alabama guard Arie Kouandjio finished off a strong week of practice with an impressive performance in the game. He was opening holes at that point of attack, as the South had a lot of success running behind Kouandjio with Cameron Artis-Payne and David Johnson. Kouandjio also had some tough blocks against Washington defensive tackle Danny Shelton. Teams sources say that Kouandjio has graded out as one of the top guards in the class and a second-round pick.


TCU cornerback Kevin White did a lot to improve his standing during the week of practice and that continued on Saturday. At the end of the first quarter, Bryce Petty missed a throw to Notre Dame tight end Ben Koycak, and White picked off the ball. Unfortunately for White, the referees blew the call and ruled him down to take away a return of about 40 yards, but it still was an excellent catch by White.






Oregon State cornerback Steven Nelson showed well on Saturday. He had tight coverage on a throw to Sammie Coates and slapped the pass away. That repeated itself against Josh Harper later, but Nelson was mistakenly flagged for a pass interference. Nelson had excellent coverage on other throws and really handled his assignments well.


USC safety Josh Shaw had a long pass interference penalty as he ran over Kansas State's Tyler Lockett after Lockett burned him running downfield. Shaw didn't turn around and play the ball while running through Lockettt. In the second quarter, he came back to break up a pass to Sammie Coates. Shaw should move to safety in the NFL.


Pittsburgh right tackle T.J. Clemmings gave up a strip-sack to Mississippi State's Preston Smith in the second quarter. The sack was more on Sean Mannion, as the quarterback held onto the ball too long, but Smith did bull Clemmings back into the pocket before breaking way for the strip sack. Clemmings has a lot of physical ability, but he needs a ton of development.






Duke wide receiver Jamison Crowder looks like a future slot receiver and return weapon in the NFL. However, Crowder muffed a punt in the first half and didn't make big plays through the air.


Quandre Diggs came out of the slot corner and jumped an outside route to pick off a pass late in the third quarter. Diggs took off down the field for about a 40-yard return. That led to a touchdown for the North team. Diggs is a gritty nickel corner for the next level.


Miami of Ohio's Quinton Rollins made a leaping interception at the end of the third quarter. He tracked the deep ball beautifully to make a diving catch. He almost had an interception earlier, but the pass tipped off is hands into the arms of Kansas State's Tyler Lockett. Rollins has ball skills, but needs a lot of development in his technique as he hasn't been playing the position very long.

 

[dbair1967]

Kevin White is interesting. We need to draft corners who can play. Not just be big.

Big fan of this kid, will def be on my target list for April

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Might be another Jason Verett, dbair.

 

[ZeroClub]

Preston Smith DE 6'6 267 Mississippi State SEC

He had a big week too. He just might be working his way into the 1st round.

 

[dbair1967]

Yep, like P Smith as well.

I think it was Broaddus who said he has alot of flexibility to move inside and out as well.

 

[cmd34(work)]

Preston reminds me a lot of Tyrone Crawford.

Kevin White looked good; definitely competes on every play. I just want bigger CB's for what we are trying to do scheme-wise.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Why not just use the true tampa-2 zone scheme? Scandrick and White could run that no problem.
