| LEFEVOUR |
QB |
CENTRAL MICHIGAN |
LeFevour played the best game of any of the
quarterbacks at the Senior Bowl. He showed excellent
mobility and threw a good deep ball. |
| ROBINSON |
QB |
OKLAHOMA SATE |
I was impressed by Robinson who looked
particularly good in the two-minute offense. He has the
look of at least a solid NFL backup quarterback. |
| BLOUNT |
RB |
OREGON |
If not for the Boise State incident, I would
have said after watching Blount in this game, I want this kid on
my team. I still may, but I would need to talk to him (and
others) first. He is a big kid, runs hard, showed a quick
burst and quick feet. |
| JOHNSON |
RB |
USC |
It was good to see Johnson back on the field
after his horrible accident. He didn't play much, but
showed enough to put his name back on the map for the draft. |
| MILLER |
RB |
FRESNO STATE |
Matthews backup played well until he
fumbled. He showed speed, quickness and cutting ability in
minimal facetime. |
| WILLIAMS |
WR |
TULANE |
I love this kid's ability. He played a
very good game. He displayed excellent hands and good
route-running ability. He had a nice run on a
reverse. He could be a real sleeper in the draft.
I'm looking forward to his Combine workout. |
| GILYARD |
WR |
CINCINNATI |
Gilyard looked great as a receiver, getting
deep and catching the ball, as a punt returner, and as a kick
returner. He had an overall excellent game. |
| FORD |
WR |
CLEMSON |
Ford showed just enough to go with with world
class speed to make him a very intriguing player for teams on
draft day both as a receiver and as a returner. |
| PEEK |
TE |
ALABAMA |
Peek had a nice first half. He got open,
made catches and I even saw a decent block in the run game. |
| GRAHAM |
TE |
MIAMI |
Not yet a finished product, Graham is a
basketball player with good size who showed enough in this game
for GMs to debate how good he could be and how much he should be
drafted above where his college production would have placed him
in the draft. |
| BLACK |
OT |
LSU |
It was a tough day for the East offensive line
against the West's pass rush. However, Black held up
better than most. He did get beat on occasion, but more
than held his own. |
| WELCH |
OT |
VANDERBILT |
A late add to the game, Welch popped a bit for
me during the game in pass protection. |
| LAUVAO |
OG |
ARIZONA STATE |
I noticed a couple of nice blocks by Lauvao
during the run game. |
| GRAHAM |
DE |
MICHIGAN |
Graham was not only putting constant pressure
on opposing quarterbacks, but he played very well against the
run as well. He played a great game. |
| COLEMAN |
DE
OLB |
AUBURN |
Coleman, known for his pass rushing skills,
actually popped on some running plays. |
| ALUALU |
DT |
CALIFORNIA |
Alualu was very active both against the pass
and against the run. He looked like he had the tools to
kick outside to end in a 3-4 defense. |
| WILLIAMS |
DT |
TENNESSEE |
Williams played a terrific game. He
looked very good against the run. |
| ATKINS |
DT |
GEORGIA |
Atkins had a sack, made a good play on screen
pass, and played a steady game. He is a candidate for end
in a 3-4 defense as well as tackle for a 4-3 defense. |
| WEATHERSPOON |
LB |
MISSOURI |
Weatherspoon was the best player in the game in
my opinion. He played well both against the run and the
pass. He was a big hitter, plays with passion, and looked
like a leader on the field. |
| WASHINGTON |
LB |
TCU |
Washington had good moments, particularly
against the pass. |
| MISI |
LB |
UTAH |
Misi had a solid game including a sack, forcing
a fumble. He looked like a hustle-player who is always
around the ball. |
| WATSON |
LB |
FLORIDA STATE |
Watson looked good against the run showing
speed and big-hitting ability. Worst case he will be a
monster on special teams. |
| ROBINSON |
CB |
FLORIDA STATE |
I was very, very impressed by Robinson.
He looked great in coverage and showed excellent tackling
skills. Robinson was clearly one of the best players on
the field. He displayed excellent man-on-man cover skills. |
| ARENAS |
CB |
ALABAMA |
Arenas played a functionally sound game.
He gets good position and tackles well. He also looked
good as a returner. However, he did get beat deep and may
be better playing inside as a nickel or in a zone. |
| WILSON |
CB |
BOISE STATE |
Wilson was fairly quiet, but I did notice a
nice tackle on a running play, and a couple of plays where he
had good pass coverage away from the play. |
| MAYS |
S |
USC |
Mays is on the list because he answered some
questions with his nice read and interception. He is a
big-hitter and his ball skills were one of the questions
regarding his safety skills. |
| SKINNER |
S |
MARYLAND |
Skinner showed that he has good instincts by
being around the ball, and showed that he is a sure tackler. |
