2011 Senior Bowl Week

[IrMitchell]

After watching the first practice here's who stood out for me and also who disappointed.

Good:
Vincent Brown
Titus Young - WOW!
Ricky Stanzi
Ryan Kerrigan - Just what I expected, this guy's a beast.
Colin Kaepernick
Anthony Castonzo
Quinton Carter
Da'Norris Searcy - Very very impressed.

Bad:
Austin Pettis
Casey Matthews
Jake Locker - Stanzi had better throws.. He'll turn it around soon enough.
Mason Foster - I was expecting him to be much better in coverage.
Jeremy Beal
Eric Hagg


Overall it's kind of tough to make any statements like I just did, so don't go crazy.

I think with a few years developing as a backup, Colin Kaepernick could be solid. He has size, speed, smarts, and arm strength.

I think Colin Kaepernick will be a starter in 2 to 3 seasons. Today he ran the offense underneath the Center and did well enough to get good reviews. This guy is smart, has his degree and got it before finishing his fourth year.

I think we could get him if we had a third round pick. The Combine makes players like Kaepernick climb up the draft boards because they interview well and do fairly good with the field events.

So I had heard that Young looked pretty awesome. But as for Stanzi, he was apparently checking down a lot and missing lots of open receivers deep. That true?

Titus Young was sick, was the most noticeable player today.

As for Stanzi, yeah he was dumping the ball off short, but he didn't miss any open receivers deep that I can remember.. It was Locker who was doing that.

I didn't mean missing as in he was throwing incompletions. I mean as in he didnt even attempt to throw it deep

Young was a stud at Boise, no shock there.. Locker needs to have a good outing more than any QB imo

Hear that most teams see Kaepernick as a hybrid/wildcat type of player

redskins also spoke with Locker, Carimi, Moffitt, Casey Matthews, and Greg Jones.

I hear their preference is to get an outside linebacker through free agency (once again, the name that comes up is Woodley) and then get help inside through the draft. But the CBA could put a damper on that.

For what it's worth Ive also heard they're seriously considering trading out of the first round. I think it's too early to really know for sure though

Trade out? Wow I can see trade down, does that mean trade the 10th pick for a current NFL player? Or just load up on picks?

You would think that the Steelers would pony up to pay a guy like Woodley.
Any word on Matt Roth? The Browns are switiching schemes and you think he would be available at a decent price or maybe even a player swap w/ Andre Carter.

I've seen you make a few bold statements like this. I'd love to know how exactly you heard this?

Trading/Not re-signing Woodley would be nearly the equivalent of letting Brian Orakpo walk in free agency.. These things just don't happen. Especially when Farrior and Harrison are reaching the end of their careers.

As for the Redskins trading out of the first round? How on earth does this stuff leave the front office? :confused:

*I apologize if you truly do know something that every other Redskin fan doesn't, but this seems like a bit of a stretch.

SS has inside info courtesy of the sports mothership. He does know things we laypeople aren't privy to.

Does it not occur to you that some people know people?

Yes it does, but unless he's best friends with a Scout/Coach/Owner/GM, these things wouldn't be tossed around that quickly.

But oh well, I appreciate your input about Woodley, that would be probably the best off season acquisition I've seen in a long time by the Redskins.

What do you mean these things wouldn't be tossed around that quickly?
