Senior Bowl Wednesday

 

DE Cam Johnson UP

Johnson is frustrating because he’s so inconsistent, but he’s been consistently awesome all week, winning most of his battles on the edge with a combination of power and speed.

OT Mitchell Schwartz UP

Schwartz was under the radar at California, but he’s been having a good week, especially today. Mike Mayock was intrigued by him and I’ve always been a fan of his. He could get some buzz on early day 3 given how valuable left tackles are. He’s athletic enough to play there potentially long term.

G Cordy Glenn UP

Cordy Glenn has stayed at tackle this week, rather than moving to guard, but he’s been impressive. He was inconsistent at left tackle last year for Georgia and struggled with some speed rushers, but I don’t see why he couldn’t be a right tackle in the right scheme at the next level. Teams will like his versatility early on day 2.

OT Zebrie Sanders DOWN

I’ve never understood the hype with him. He has his moments, but he’s not the fringe first round prospect he’s being talked about as. Sanders was inconsistent again today, losing more one on ones than a fringe first rounder should. He needs a lot of work.

C William Vlachos DOWN

Vlachos hasn’t looked good in one in ones. He also had a sloppy body on Monday in weigh ins. The Alabama center is slipping.

DT Tony Jerod-Eddie UP

TJE has really stood out in one on ones as someone who is better than where he’s projected. The 6-5 300 pounder has all the tools and is having a strong week. He looks like a natural fit as a 3-4 defensive end and could be a good value in the mid rounds.

MLB James-Michael Johnson DOWN

Mike Singletary was noticeable frustrated with Johnson in linebacker drills because his technique was awful. I’m surprised Singletary didn’t go on a rant about how he couldn’t win him, couldn’t play with him, or couldn’t coach with him, though if he did that he’d probably end up being a hero for a team in a playoff game.

 

RB Chris Polk DOWN

Polk has really struggled with blocking and pass catching these last two days. He’s a great runner and was an underrated prospect in my book coming into this week, but he’s not helping his stock by showing he’ll have trouble on 3rd downs in the NFL.

TE Emil Igwenagu UP

Igwenagu got on everyone’s radar at the East/West Shrine Game, with good practices and a great catch in the game. A late add to the Senior Bowl, Igwenagu had some great catches today and the 6-1 242 pound tight end looked like a receiver. Someone will take him as an h-back or a fullback.

WR Marvin McNutt UP

McNutt has been one of the better receivers all week, but really stood out to me today as a run blocker. He was the best of the bunch in that regard.

CB Donnie Fletcher UP

Fletcher has been pretty neutral all week, but really stood out today. He’s a physical cornerback at 6-0 205 and would be best in a bump and run scheme. He could play safety, but made the case to stay at cornerback today. Mike Mayock was very impressed.

DT Kendall Reyes UP

Reyes has been very good all week and had his best day today. He’s great as a penetrator one on one, but struggles in games when double teamed and run at. Still, as a 3-4 defensive end, he’s a good pick in the 2nd round. He’s not quite as valuable to a 4-3 team.

G Johnnie Troutman DOWN

Troutman was a head scratching selection to this game for me and he has really shown it this week. He looks overmatched out there in one on ones.

OT Mike Adams DOWN

There’s a lot of buzz around Adams moving into the first round, but I don’t see a first rounder. He’s a freak athlete at 6-7 320 and has dominant when he can get his hands on a defensive lineman, but his technique doesn’t hold up well against speed rushers.
