Some early notes from Scout's Inc. on today's North team Senior Bowl practice:

- "Penn State DT Jared Odrick is showing quickness and power in the team period and disrupting the offense." Also "Penn State DT Jared Odrick looks better than he did early in the week. He looked quick during bag work and is showing a quick first step and getting penetration in 1-on-1 drills."

- "Clemson WR Jacoby Ford is finding seams in zone coverage and he beat Boise State CB Kyle Wilson over the top in 1-on-1s. Ford's big-play ability is finally showing up but he dropped another pass and hands continue to be an issue."

- "Arkansas State DL Alex Carrington showed his explosivness when running a twist, absolutley train-wrecking fellow DL Tyson Alualu to the ground. Impressive for a 280-pounder." This kid sounds like he could really be something.

- "Cincinnati WR Mardy Gilyard got off the line better than any other wideout duing 1-on-1 drills against press coverage. He beat both Ohio State S Kurt Coleman and Virginia CB Chris Cook cleanly." But also: "We're looking for a little more consistency from Cincinnati WR Mardy Gilyard today. He has shown good quickness during the week but he dropped too many balls on Day 2 and has to clean that up."

Scouts Inc.: Day 3 at the Senior Bowl begins with the players looking to make an impression during the last day in full pads. - ESPN

I have had my eye on this kid since early in the year when he gave alabama fits. He may be 284 pounds, but he is really athletic and unlike Dunlap, he never takes a play off. This is a kid I could see BB taking and moving to OLB. Looks to have shorter arms than I prefer, but from the OLB spot, that is not that big a deal.

BB takes 10 pounds off the kid and give him a year to year the OLB spot. He plays the run well. I saw him set a hard edge against Alabama and he can rush the passer. He would need work on coverage and playing in space, but this guy looks to have the ability to do that.

I haven't had a chance to see him yet this week. He sounds like he has the potential to be something special. But do you really think he has the Dunlap-like athleticism to play strongside 3-4 OLB at 270 lbs? Or is he better off bulking up to 300 with his 6'5" frame and possibly being a stud 3-4 DE in a year or two?

BTW, Alualu is very strong. Earlier this week he essentially overpowerd 6'6" 325# Mike Iupati and threw him to the gorund. For Carrington to overpower Alualu says something about this kid's strength.

I watch a lot of SEC ball and remember Saban talking him up. BB and Saban usually have their pre-draft chat, banging heads about various prospects. Betcha Carrington's name will pop up -- along w/ some game film.

Odrick also appears to be solidifying himself into the first round.

Yeah, he looked good so far and should have improved his stock. I wouldn't mind him in the first round.

captain stone

Why not instead have him gain ten pounds and play him at DE as Jarvis' (and dare I say Seymour's?) replacement? He could also prob. play 4-3 DT in passing situations.

i really like Jared Odrick and i think if we could grab him he would make an immediate impact

Snake Eyes

Something to keep in mind, just knocking someone over doesn't necessarily tell you about his strength, if Carrington had a good angle on him or if he was a tad off-balance just before impact that can make it relatively easy to knock someone over. You'd really need to look at the footage to determine if it was brute force overpowering the other guy.
