Senior Bowl 2016

I'm ready for a Scott McCloughan jersey....

You're just desperate

Pffft.....

I understand that but Reggie Ragland looks like a better CJ Mosley, and for some reason over the last 3-4 years Bama has given the NFL some elite inside linebacking play

The dude is JACKED. Love what I'm reading about the Senior Bowl practices too. I worry that if he does well at OLB there (which I think he is) he'll be gone before we pick. If we're taking an LB, that's who I want for sure.

It's possible he could be gone, but a combo of him and Compton would be so sweet

This guy:

Notre Dame center Nick Martin continued his strong week with an impressive practice on Thursday. He had two superb reps to stop Louisiana Tech's Vernon Butler in the one-on-ones. Martin stood up a bull rush as Butler got too high. He kept Butler away from the marker later after some initial penetration. This week has shown that Martin has good technique and should be ready to compete quickly in the NFL.

From Mike Mayock:

" Michigan State center Jack Allen is a very quick, tough kid. It's a really good center class. Centers don't get valued as highly as they should. I don't know what round he's going in, I just know he's going to make somebody's team, and it wouldn't surprise me at all if he ends up starting somewhere."

Like Ive been stating, this years Centers class has some prospects.

If their was anytime to draft a Center...

DT with first, then one of those centers in the second would be awesome.

....30gut, maybe you're right on that one game, but how do you "teach" aggression? You can shape technique and do film study to fix intangibles, but it's like saying you can someone's personality.Oh, I hear yah I don't see it either; but I'm gonna get around to watching that other game.

Most of the Safety talk out of senior bowl appears to be about 2 players: Jeremy Cash SS and Darian Thompson FS. And I can't wait to watch these guys game cut-ups.


I would be nervous as hell taking a WR or CB if we didn't have Scot. My fears are alleviated a bit with him in charge, but last thing we need is to miss on a first or second round pick while we're still rebuilding. I wouldn't hate ILB, but I think Mason and Compton are more than adequate right now and we can invest the picks elsewhere.Philosophically, I wouldn't ever worry about success/failure rates. As long as the right process is followed to evaluate, assess and rank then I would always pull the trigger on BPA regardless of position.

When it comes to ILB, I like our guys especially Keenan (when healthy). But in this 1-gap scheme they aren't covered up like they were in Haslett's 2-gap. So instead of run and chase/hit they have to engage-fill-shed much more often then before and they imo they're lack of ability in that style of play shows in our run defense. So if the ILB core remains status quo then we're gonna have to get a lot better up front if there's gonna be improved run D.

For what its worth PFF rated Perry Riley and Will Compton near the bottom of ILB when it comes to run defense. And imo its supported by our run D ranking.

Ragiland looks like the text book 1-gap 34 ILB and has the background in a pro-style defense.

Check out his reps at ~15s and ~3:15s

One dude that popped out to me was Sheldon Rankings.
Watching the speed, suddenness and violence of his hand work and overall movement reminded me of JJ Watt attacking the sled with his pass rush moves in the youtube clip below 1st ~30s: . Obviously JJ is on another level. But compared to the other DL at the Senior Bowl Rankings looked more polished in his pass rush to me.

There are some other dudes that stood out to me that i'll get back around too as time passes.

Anyone pop out to you?
