OT - Senior Bowl

[BobDigital]

Obviously we have a super bowl in 8 days but I would think there is enough down time between now and then to maybe look at a good football game with a lot of interesting prospects.

The game airs at 2:30 ET on NFL network.

Rosters are here, one for the North team and one for the South team.

I will be looking at a lot of players but most of all perhaps LBs. It be nice to have a guy you can put next to Van Noy and Hightower.

Harrison too. Gonna continue winning Super Bowls with him until all of pitt does a lemming like death rush

 

[BobDigital]

So far not much to talk about on offense but the Ds have looked very good.

Thanks, @BobDigital . You're the man.

If anyone has questions about rosters, or wants to read practice reports, we have a discussion going in the draft forum as well.

Great pocket movement and throw on the run by Benkert. Wow.

Also, I really can't get too excited about Fred Warner. He's soft against blocks in the run game, and despite being a coverage specialist, he gave up that completion to Penny way too easily. Lacked awareness to look back for the ball.

Josh Allen looked good. Interesting to see what the brownies will do.

Tale of two halves. He looks terrible in the first half. Inaccurate, didn't keep his eyes downfield when scrambling, etc. Second half he came out slinging and looked really solid (up until the sack fumble). I see the potential, and if he sat behind Brady for three years, he could really be something, but ultimately I think he'll bust due to playing too early and lack of good coaching.

Yes. It depends on where he goes. These QBs need to sit some years. He would be groomed well here.

I think this draft is going to be very interesting, in terms of how QBs impact the first round.

Too bad he lit it up on the field this afternoon. Not much chance he's under the radar any more. Bill might have to burn a lot of draft capital if he wants him. OTOH a first round pick gets an extra year on the rookie contract, which will surely appeal to Belichick's economic instincts.

Idk about that. I doubt he goes in the first round. Likely will see 5 QBs taken in the first round.

There could be someone no one expects...suppose there was a Qb whose coach said the following:

“He was phenomenal,” ... "I’m really proud of him. He’s exactly what you want in your quarterback. Even when he wasn’t a starter, he’s a kid that prepared diligently like he was the starter.”

He was a walk-on who came off the bench after throwing two career passes and led his unranked team to an upset win over the #3 team in the nation...with the following stats:
18/24 343 Yds 3 Tds 0 Ints

He also led his unranked team to a win over the #4 team in the nation.

He has good size and played eight more games this year and ended up with:

15 Tds 3 Ints and he led his team to a Liberty Bowl win and IMO... he looks better than high ranked Qbs in this draft.

His HC has petitioned the NCAA to let him play a sixth year but it is considered to be a long shot request, but you never know, they could grant it. I could see them finding a player in the weeds like him the same way they grabbed Cassell.

Check him out. I think he looks like he can play the Pats style and has a giant chip on his shoulder...heard that one about a Qb before.

He's accurate with a quick release, heard that about a Qb too, and he appears to have good vision.
