Today's chatter from Twitter (movethesticks)/Rotoworld
| Idaho OG most likely pro bowler if you took a poll of scouts at Sr Bowl. Rare size, strength and quickness. Sticks out like a sore thumb |
Obviously referring to Iupati
| Dan Williams will end up going in top 20. Too big, strong and active. Cody likely out of 1st rd. Might be a 1 down player, no stamina |
One of the first early risers before the Combine?
| Lots of teams have questions about Taylor Mays ability to play in the deep half. He's late off the hash too much. No anticipation. |
SI.com's Tony Pauline reports that USC S Taylor Mays has appeared stiff in the hips on the Senior Bowl practice field and may force teams to begin projecting him as an outside linebacker.
Pauline isn't the only one saying it. NFL Network's Mike Mayock noted that Mays has struggled in man-coverage work, and he was easily beaten off the line of scrimmage by Florida WR Riley Cooper in one drill we saw. At 6'3/231, Mays looks more like a "Will" linebacker than a safety. His stock is slipping. |
Daily Taylor Mays Update ;)
| Javier Arenas is a feisty, competetive nickel type but deep speed is a ? |
Was very intrigued with Arenas in the 2nd Round, liked what I saw in College, but pro scouts are questioning his speed which im surprised as he seemed to have "game quickness"
| McCluster is dynamic. None of the South CBs could get a hand on him off the line. Like him better as a slot WR than a RB. |
Ole Miss RB/WR Dexter McCluster is reportedly drawing comparisons to the Jets' Leon Washington from NFL personnel at the Senior Bowl.
The connection is obvious because of McCluster's versatility. He caught 130 career passes for the run-first Rebels and graduated second in school history in all-purpose yards, behind only Deuce McAllister. McCluster was used sparingly on returns, but certainly has the skill set to be an impact NFL player there. He may be the hottest prospect at this week's Senior Bowl. |
Really think this kid is gonna be a playmaker in the next level.
| Tebow threw it okay when he had a lot of room. However, when bodies close in, he can't get the ball out. Motion is WAY too long. |
Wonder if the rumors of Jax/NE liking him so much are really true?
| By the way, they must have a heck of a workout program at Oxford because Myron Rolle was the most impressive physique BY FAR |
Funny stuff but some smart team in the mid rounds is gonna roll the dice on this kid and eventually it will pay off tremendously IMO.
Alabama NT Terrence Cody said Tuesday that he plans to shed 30 pounds and get to 340 before his rookie season in the NFL.
If he's serious about shedding fat, Cody's weigh-in at next month's Combine will be telling. He could really damage his stock by reporting heavier. Cody's 370-pound Senior Bowl measurement was 21 more than his weigh-in prior to Alabama's 2009 season and 15 greater than he weighed 16 days ago. |
Daily Terrence Cody weight status
Jets GM Mike Tannenbaum had high praise for Boise State CB Kyle Wilson in an interview at the Senior Bowl Tuesday.
Wilson was a standout punt returner while doubling as a four-year starter for the Broncos. He also returned two of his senior-year interceptions for touchdowns. The more jobs you can do (the better)," Tannenbaum said. "I think he certainly will play for a long time, and he has good ball skills." |
Feel free to add/update to this as the day rolls along.
We've gotta take Iupati, put him at LG, and forget the position until we're looking for Eli's replacement.
With either Kareem or Beatty on the bench and Seubert as a depth player.
That line would be dirty and would bring our run game back to the forefront.
The latter seems to be an important attribute to the Giants.
You draft those kinds of people and fit the scheme to them.
I'm sure the combine will be very telling for a player like Iupati.
OT/OG John Jerry has also been impressive so far, and he does seem a bit more seasoned.
He's going to threaten Chris Johnson's Combine record in the 40 yard dash, I'm eager to see how fast he times since he reportedly ran in the mid 4.1's in 2005 (not an electronic time).
Between this game and the combine, they are going to serve people in doubting what they saw of these players on the field which will lead to the inevitable "surprise" picks on draft days which aren't a surprise at all really.
He's sure to rise up the boards with his workouts so he's doing a nice job of generating some momentum for himself.
A guard taken before our 15th pick? Could happen.
also too bad for him that he was on the same team as spiller or he would have been the primary return guy
I'd be a bit wary of taking a G at 15, as we already have 1 pro bowl G. If he can play tackle, it's fairly possible he goes before 15 anyway. Thats less likely if he projects as a true G.
W A/p what do you think?
Speaking of Mays, it seems people are finally coming around to my long-held position that he’s not anywhere close to an elite prospect. He looked incredibly stiff and almost comes to a dead stop coming out of his backpedal and cannot change direction once he’s beyond his second step without looping wide. A couple of sage voices in the crowd wondered aloud why he isn’t playing linebacker--one of whom has assembled a Super Bowl-winning team.
Seattle was talking with John Jerry and Mike Johnson, both interior offensive linemen.
Cleveland swarmed South Florida safety Nate Allen, who had a nice practice.
Jacksonville, Oakland, and Baltimore all talked to Alabama CB Javier Arenas.
Buffalo and Denver quickly isolated Alabama TE Colin Peek.
The Jets--who canned some coaches yesterday--met with Dekoda Watson, Myron Rolle, and Patrick Robinson, all from Florida State. A couple of their staffers spent a good portion of practice talking to Bobby Bowden, who is much shorter in person than I anticipated.
Tennessee talked to Georgia DT Geno Atkins and South Florida DE George Selvie, though the latter seemed like a case of old friends catching up.

Against Florida and Texas, I think he altered those games alone by making both teams 1 dimensional.
And I gotta tell you, every player seems gassed after a couple of plays, but I think it's an awful assumption to think Cody took himself out of these games, mind you after 1 play, and assume it was because he was gassed.
He wasn't gassed enough to give a full effort by blocking a field goal against Tennesse to win the game, that's for sure.
Hopefully for Mays he ends up like Thomas Davis and not USC alum Darnell Bing who I thought had a lot of potential!
Kiwi is easily my favorite defensive player on the Giant. When the season was practically over I stopped watching the whole screen and just watched the difference between Kiwi and Osi at the RE position... it was like watching Varsity one snap with Kiwi then JV the next snap with Osi
You really need to calm down.
