View Poll Results: Who Is Most Likely to Benefit Most from Senior Bowl Week?
I'll go with AJ Edds and O'Brien Schofield... two under-the-radar types that could sneak into the late 2nd round with a great performance.

I think Iupati is a good choice for a guy who could see his draft position improve significantly at the Senior Bowl. This will be his first experience against top tier talent, and if he could dominate a Dan Williams or Terrence Cody in the one on ones...he could become a lock for the first round. If Iupati shows the feet that make scouts think he could play tackle...he could have a Branden Albert type assention up draft boards (college guard projcets to tackle).
Dan Williams is another guy in the late first/early second round mix who could really help himself.
I like Mayo's pick of Taylor Mays a lot. The coaches at USC always claimed that Mays didn't make a lot of plays because of the scheme they played and what they asked him to do. During the Senior Bowl practices, there will be no hiding Mays. We will find out about his coverage abiltiy (good or bad) and maybe even get a better read on his feel for the game. I don't have a lot of faith in Mays after watching him this year, but a good Senior Bowl week (coupled with a great combine) could get him back in some top 10 projections.
If the question is "who will shine at the Senior Bowl", I think it will be Dexter McCluster.
First of all, he has tremendous speed. While he might not have a ton of big runs, I would anticipate him being able to break at least one long run. A couple long runs might be enough for him to shine over the rest.
Second, he will likely be a factor on special teams (as a return specialist), at running back and in the passing game, as he is capable of motioning out wide to create mismatches. Basically, he will have more opportunities to shine.
Third, he has great hands, as a converted wide receiver. Coupled with his speed, he could easily take a pass or two down the field for big gains. Showing off those hands, along with the speed, will cause him to shine brighter than other skill players.
Lastly, there is a chance that he will be used in a wild cat type offense. Given the currently love affair with the wildcat, he could really join the bandwagon if he can do it as effectively as he did at Ole Miss.

I will be changin my answer to Austen Lane, DE, Murray State (just got an invite). Who knows how high he could rise with a dominant performance -- the only knock on him has been sub-par competition.

Lane got an invite?
Great news.
By the way, TFY Draft is reporting Charles Scott, Charles Brown, Brandon LaFell, Jerry Hughes and Trent Williams all missing from today.

Wow, me to. He's listed on their roster at 6'7" 220#. Can't wait to see where he actually weighs in.
Damn, I want this kid to fly under the radar. Ain't going to happen.

A 230 pound guy that runs fast and hits hard? May be something to think about for one of these teams.
Box, Mayo and myself have all opined the same over the last few months. He has show-cased no ability as a Safety, but might have shown enough to be able to play WLB in the Tampa 2.
Kam chancellor may be the same, although he looked good enough in coverage on Saturday evening to suggest he may be able to play Safety at the next level.

Voted for Weatherspoon by the way. People seem to be pushing him out of the first round because of positional value but he is a top 20 talent in his own right.
