2012 Senior Bowl: Tuesday South Practice Report
Joe Adams, WR, Arkansas Joe Adams looked pretty impressive during the one-on-one drills, displaying an array of nifty moves to get open downfield. He's back in my four-round 2012 NFL Mock Draft, updated tonight!
Dwight Bentley, CB, Louisiana-Lafayette Dwight Bentley is relatively unknown - one of the NFL Network announcers (probably Charles Davis) called him "Bill Bentley" during the broadcast - but he had a solid Tuesday practice. He made a nice break-up against Dwight Jones in the one-on-one drills, and the analysts mentioned that there's some buzz about him. He could be an early Day 3 pick.
James Brown, OT, Troy Another non-BCS player impressed on Tuesday. Troy tackle James Brown drew some praise from Mike Mayock:
"I'm really intrigued by James Brown. He did a great job keeping the pocket clean against Clemson."
Quinton Coples, DE, North Carolina Quinton Coples' issue is consistency. He had a dynamic junior campaign, but struggled as a senior. People will blame the coaching staff for that, but the same inconsistency has manifested itself in the Senior Bowl. Coples was reportedly unblockable on Monday, but he looked like an ordinary mid-round defensive lineman on Tuesday. He was blocked easily in most of the one-on-one matchups.
"Coples doesn't have that elite burst that Julius Peppers does," said Mike Mayock.
Juron Criner, WR, Arizona Juron Criner made the catch of the day when he made a great adjustment on one throw and came up with an extended, one-handed grab. He reportedly looked solid on Monday.
Nick Foles, QB, Arizona Juron Criner's quarterback didn't fare too well. Nick Foles had trouble operating the offense, as some snaps were botched. When everything worked, Foles threw his trademark checkdowns. That's pretty much all he did at Arizona.
Forum member and Redskins fan bball37 joked about Foles' struggles: "Don't worry Nick Foles, nobody understands Kyle Shanahan's offense."
Jeff Fuller, WR, Texas A&M Jeff Fuller stinks. He dropped a pass that bounced out of his hands and into a cornerback's, which wasn't a surprise because he had issues with drops all season. He was also easily jammed at the line of scrimmage on another one-on-one matchup.
"I'm not sure if he's quick enough or physical enough," said Mike Mayock.
Fuller is not in my top four rounds in tonight's 2012 NFL Mock Draft update.
Melvin Ingram, DE, South Carolina Melvin Ingram is too short and has tiny arms, but he completely makes up for it with his dynamic explosion. He was pretty much unblockable in the one-on-one drills and showed off a brilliant spin move that easily allowed him to get by the offensive lineman.
Chris Rainey, RB/WR, Florida Chris Rainey saw some action at receiver. He completely torched first-round prospect Janoris Jenkins on one instance. He's going to be an intriguing weapon for some team.
Keenan Robinson, OLB, Texas Keenan Robinson made a great play in the one-on-ones to break up a pass.
Sean Spence, OLB, Miami Sean Spence, meanwhile, whiffed on a play in a one-on-one matchup, allowing his opponent to easily get by him.
Brandon Thompson, DT, Clemson Just a quote from Mike Mayock on Brandon Thompson's draft position:
"Some have a first-round grade on Brandon Thompson. I have a second-round grade on him."
Courtney Upshaw, DE/OLB, Alabama Courtney Upshaw had a terrific practice. He was unblockable on most instances, and he completely abused offensive tackle Mike McCants, a potential third-rounder.
"That was a complete mismatch," said Mike Mayock.

You're the only douche that says Landry Jones didn't imimprove his stock this week...
NFL scouts on NFL Network disagree with your ignorance.

Did he really?

Kuechly built for the pass? Dude is an outstanding run defender, but sucks against the pass. QB's had a 97.5 passer rating against him. He was targeted 55 times and gave up 45rec for close to 450 yards and two TD's. As for Te'o he was not even close to the best defender. Dude is all hype, he is a story from the most famous all hype team ever. The guy is a story and that is it. Kuechly got over drafted but is solid. Te'o is a total nut with a below average skill set, first round. Like scouts have a clue, if they did you would not have so many draft busts.
What ?!?

The 2013 draft class is weak on the inside of the offensive line, so Quessenberry could easily continue to rise. He has the ability to play guard and center.
------ Really ? Isn't there two potential top 15 Guards and even Warford could sneak into late round 1 consideration .

Gotta love Jordan Mills fighting until the whistle. Every O-line needs a tough SOB like that to keep plays alive AND frustrate the defense.

I like this Gillislee kid. I can see him tearing it up in Cincy. With A.J. Green and Marvin Jones demanding safety coverage, he should be able to make some big plays on short passes and edge runs.

Why go with T. Wilson in the first round? Go take Carr in the 3rd-4th or someone like him and save some higher picks for more important positions.

This doesn't sound like an interview. It sounds like you were standing next to a reporter and wrote down two things Monte Kiffin said.

Tony Jefferson in a radio interview dispelled your bogus rumor, saying OU coaches have contacted him. Quotes from his interview:
"I knew my coaches would never say anything like that. One, because it wasn't true. Two, my coaches aren't like that." "My coaches are good guys and we've always had a good relationship." Nice "inside information", Waltie.

It's called a backup QB. There are a lot of rumors they want to get rid of Flynn. Then they'd need a QB in case Wilson gets hurt. Why not add a guy who can at least move the ball up the field?

Fvck you guy. Tyler Wilson had to carry whatever was left of the team bobby petrino left in dismay. Two concussions this year to sh!tty o-line play (2 walk-ons starting), john l f'ing smith as head coach, and not to mention the worst defense in Razorback history. And he still might be the top quarterback taken. Are people so quick to forget Arkansas finished ranked 5th last year, mostly because of Tyler Wilson. Who likes Tyler Wilson, I sure as hell do.
