Haven't seen him but Tretola looked promising.

Have you read anything about Denver Kirkland out of Arkansas? I read that he played LT but will likely move inside. I have been impressed by the Arkansas line play all year but haven't had a chance to watch Kirkland in particular.

Your early thoughts on OL? Mack/Schwartz replacements? With the Harvard FO is Cole Toner from Harvard your new Ali Marpet? Still like moving Greco to C or Jack Allen or G. Glasgow? Have you looked at Alex Huettel BGSU late round?

Early is the word...

In the draft at C I like Nick Martin. Looks like the kind of player that could make us say, "Alex Who?"

As of now my OG sleeper is Dahl out of Washington State... not quite as small of a school as Hobart.

Cyrus Jones in the 4th-6th can do special teams too, and he's actually been playing his position well for several years...

While his explosive separation would be an improvement over similar possession WRs on our roster, I don't see the worth... even late. Then there's the injury history including concussions...

I'd rather go with a bigger, stronger WR if we invest a Day 2 pick at the position.

@logicisforsquares said:

I don't see him going in the first round. A converted QB who played one season of WR and got 340 yards in it? First round is highly optimistic. Second round is unlikely, IMHO. Nobody doubts his physical traits, so the combine isn't going to shoot him up the boards, and might only hinder him.

@calfoxwc said:

I don't foresee him making it to 32. A team like the Panthers who are still pretty starved at WR would more than likely grab him up.

The kid is a football player, and he's very quick, explosive and fast. He's smart, and a good kid.

I mean, look at Massaquoi and Robieski sp?

Not good. Braxton could be a star in Cleveland.

Well not completed. That would mean degree in hand and that is rarely the case with seniors. But academically/athletically qualified as seniors is the criteria. For example I don't think you can be a RS Junior who is in his senior year of classes but only 3rd year of play with one year of eligibility remaining, but declaring early for the draft.

Interesting. Is Bosa playing in the Senior Bowl? Perhaps not because I don't think he is a Senior.

Are Junior eligibles that declare for the draft allowed to participate in the Senior Bowl? Or just Seniors.

If this doesn't warrant its own thread just move it wherever you like. It might already be up but I thought it was interesting.

Good article here on our brass at the Senior Bowl with a little insight to the divide and conquer approach taken to scouting...

The video interviews are fine, but most of the good stuff is in the text...

I like Allen a bunch.

I just finished A&M's OL grades for the bowl game. Sheldon Rankins is very, very good.

@tour2ma said:

Yeah. We're both still rather miffed about missing out on Kahlil. Well, I see a bit of Mack when I watch Noah.

He doesn't have the polish on the dominant second move, but he has similar burst, dip and bull rush. If he could get that spin down, good lord. Loads of potential here.

Pretty much was the Noah Spence show...

Braxton was on fire before the leg cramp took him down. Was the most consistent receiver in 1-on-1 drills. At one point I was mentally fitting him for a Patriot uniform... just the kind of quick twitch WR they love.

His fellow Buckeye Powell had a nice pick in a late 11-on-11 redzone drill.

CB

A couple tall ones showed well today: UVA's Canady and Northern Iowa's Hall... both are 6'2.

OL

Many of the same suspects from yesterday shone again... namely Martin and Dahl inside and Spriggs at OT. Dahl may turn himself into a Bito like story: an OT in college that looks made for the interior at the Pro level.

DL

Butler continues to look good. Has a 3-4 DE look about him.

Nassib flashed some as a pure speed rusher.

Sheldon Day worked at DE and had some good moments.

that must have been what it was. I saw it on Twitter, but haven't watched any of the practice online yet.

Watching the AM practice and saw Miller go down with a calf cramp he could not shake.
