Some relevant notes here, re: Brinkley and Pascoe.

The National Football Post | East West Shrine Game Report

A few prospects I'm curious about:

Courtney Greene: Rutgers, Safety
Ian Johnson: Boise State, RB
Jarrett Dillard: Rice, WR
Jarron Gilbert: San Jose State, DL
Jason Phillips: TCU, LB

Thanks for the thread...

Here's what I could come up with. I'm such a geek when it comes to these senior/shrine bowls!

Measurements from Shrine game weigh-in.

Courtney Greene, 6004/211, 31 1-4" arms, 8 1-2" hands - Monday rpt: Courtney Greene was a bit more fluid in drills but dropped passes and couldn't chase USF receiver Taurus Johnson down the sideline during 7-on-7's…and Johnson's no burner. No mention from Tuesday.

Ian Johnson, 5111/204, 30" arms, 9 3-8" hands - No mention for either day other than getting tackled by CB Cary Harris (USC).

Jarrett Dillard 5102/185, 30 7-8" arms, 8 1-8" hands - Monday: Receiver Jarrett Dillard looked right at home on the practice field (Rice University is literally right down the road from Reliant, after all), not dropping a single pass whether downfield or in traffic over the middle. He was the best receiver for either team today. Tuesday: Jarrett Dillard (Rice), on the other hand, just keeps catching the ball and running excellent routes. He did show he was human, however, letting one ball bounce off his outstretched hands. Still…you still hear scouts saying "that kid from Rice looks good this week…he still can't run" as if plenty of guys running in the mid 4.5's haven't made careers in the NFL. Just ask Miami about former Hawaii receiver Davone Bess…The smallest hands? Florida State kicker Graham Gano (7 1/2"), although Jarrett Dillard's 8 1/8" measurement was certainly more detrimental to his draft stock (his 30 7/8" arm length didn't exactly great, either). But the bottom line is that Dillard has caught almost everything thrown to him this week and Faletoese's more than held his own inside…so it's important not to get too caught up in these numbers.

Jarron Gilbert 6050/287, 35 5-8" arms, 10 1-4" hands - Monday: San Jose State DT/DE Jarron Gilbert displayed quickness and length (he's 6'6") inside. As you'd expect, however, he could be moved easily by double teams. Tuesday: DT Jarron Gilbert (San Jose State) even threw a punch at OG Ray Feinga (BYU) during a short tussle today. Bright has really struggled with the speed of guys like Jarron Gilbert. As I mentioned earlier, Feinga has pounded Gilbert, along with others, resulting in some back-and-forth there. Jarron Gilbert's arms could almost act as yardsticks (35 5/8").

Jason Phillips, 6003/236, 30 1-4" arms, 9" hands - Monday: A couple of scouts were heard talking about TCU inside linebacker Jason Phillips, both basically saying he "just makes plays." His physical handling of running backs over the middle took away the QB's safety valve. Tuesday: No mention.

Fresno State's Bear Pascoe struggled to get off the line of scrimmage and could not separate from any linebacker at the second level, making it tough for the quarterback to even try to throw the ball to him.

I liked the short description of Seth Olsen, who helped carve holes for Shonn Greene in Iowa this year, so I did a bit of research - he's got the measurables the Pats desire in their O-linemen. Currently grades out as a UDFA according to NFLDraftScout:

He's been invited for the Combine as well, so I'll be interested to see his workouts go there.

Creator of the Pats must draft Jason Verrett in 2014 no matter the cost fanclub.

Augustus Parrish is another that has me interested:

I think I've mentioned Matt Shaughnessy on this board before as well - sounds like The NFP liked him too.

This is what I noticed in the Fresno/Colorado State game: he can find holes in zones but can't shake defenders one-on-one. Speaking for the Pats (hey, why not? ), do they want a blocking tight end who catches 15 passes in a season, or do they play Hochstein at TE and draft a receiving TE?

Or, do they go for an H-back type as a rookie free agent?
