Some eary notes on the Senior Bowl practice from Scouts Inc.:

- "A pair of defensive linemen are looking good so far today. Michigan DE/OLB Brandon Graham showed an explosive first step during individual drills and Penn State DT Jared Odrick clearly had the best straight-line speed during sprints."

- "Pittsburgh TE Dorin Dickerson is looking much more comfortable working on the outside today than he did earlier in the week. He made a nice move to shake Virginia CB Chris Cook after a catch and get to the end zone."

Scouts Inc.: Day 4 at the Senior Bowl is a big one for the special teams phase of the game. - ESPN

I wouldn't mind us drafting Graham. Wanted Woodley from Michigan before. He seems to show the leadership and the tenacity that this defense sorely lacks

Graham is rising fast!

And after people slept on woodley.. they're not gonna miss out on Graham now. The more he likens himself to Woodley the better off he is.

woodley ran a 4.7-4.75 so if Graham can beat that, he could push himself into the 1st if he hasn't already

The two guys listed there are at the top of my list of guys I want to see wearing the flying elvis. If we could get both I'd be esctatic.

Some buzz from TFYdraft:

- "What will the Seattle Seahawks do with the 14th pick of round one? The word at the Senior Bowl is Pete Carroll loves his former USC star Taylor Mays yet the scouting staff really does not think Mays can handle the safety position at the next level, even in the Seahawks defense. In his press conference yesterday South coach Tony Sparano alluded to something we’ve said all week; Mays cannot play outside the numbers. It will be interesting to see how the situation unfolds."

- "Another player who’s helped himself with a terrific week of practice in Mobile is TCU linebacker Daryl Washington. The consensus is Washington is the superior athlete of any linebacker from both teams and one of the few true three down players at the position." Washington weighed in at only 226 lbs., but has apparently played well all week.

- "Scouts have also like what they’ve witnessed from Javier Arenas. Most feel he’ll run well at the combine and will be selected in the 3rd/4th round area."

- "Close sources have told us the Green Bay Packers will concentrate cornerbacks and offensive tackles in April’s draft. Specifically they will be looking for smaller, quick corners."

Very interesting and could signal a change in style for the Green Bay defense. Small quick CB's are a BB specialty.

Some notes from Wes Bunting at National Football Post:

- "South Florida safety Nate Allen has been impressive this week. Not only does he display good instincts and ball skills in coverage, he also possesses by far the best footwork of any safety on the South. Allen looks fluid when asked to get out of his breaks and does a nice job getting up to speed quickly. He’s very quietly been one of the most impressive prospects here."

USC S Taylor Mays
- "USC’s Taylor Mays continued to struggle generating any kind of burst when asked to click and close and routinely getting high in his drop and being forced to gather himself in coverage. On top of that, he lacks the type of instincts needed to consistently get good jumps on the ball and always looks to be playing from behind. If I had my choice between Mays and Allen at this stage, my pick would be Allen."

- "I haven’t been the biggest fan of LSU’s Ciron Black this season, but I did come away impressed with his performance Wednesday when he lined up some at guard. He exhibited good power at the point of attack, looked smooth through contact and did a nice job staying on blocks. I never considered Black to be a legitimate left tackle prospect, but the brief preview we got of him at guard was promising."

- "Another guy who flashed at another position Wednesday was Troy defensive end Cameron Sheffield, who got some time at linebacker during one-on-one coverage drills and surprisingly showed well. He was fluid when asked to change directions, maintained his balanced and generated a good closing burst toward the football. Plus, the fact that he possesses the first step needed to rush the passer makes me think Sheffield could end up being a contributing 3-4 OLB."

- "Unfortunately for South Florida’s George Selvie, he wasn’t nearly as impressive as Sheffield in coverage. Selvie looked stiff and was absolutely out of his element in space. He also hasn’t faired real well generating pressure off the edge all week and looks little more than a reserve-type lineman at the next level."

- "It’s obvious when watching Tennessee defensive tackle Dan Williams that the man is one powerful individual. He’s consistently able to overwhelm opposing linemen on contact and generates a great deal of power from his lower half. However, he hasn’t quite had the type of week many expected. He’s not a guy who is overly explosive off the snap and doesn’t do a good job using his hands to disengage from blocks inside. I’m not saying that there isn’t a place for him in the NFL, but I don’t think he’s worthy of being graded out as an impact-caliber defensive lineman."

- "He may be out of his element in coverage, but South Carolina outside linebacker Eric Norwood knows how to rush the passer. He was absolutely dominant Wednesday, beating running backs/fullbacks with ease in one-on-one drills, and I definitely seem him as a guy who can create pressure off the edge as a 3-4 rush linebacker."

- " Alabama offensive guard Mike Johnson isn’t the most physically imposing of lineman out there, but at 6-5 he plays with good leverage and can really stick to blocks through the play. He did a nice job maximizing his reach into blocks and can generate good power on his punch on contact. He grades out as a potential dirty starter at the next level."
