2011 NFL Draft Stock Up: Senior Bowl Day 4 Practice

Kendric Burney had close to a billion interceptions during Thursday’s practice. Or at least that’s what it seemed like. Maybe the quarterbacking was just abysmal, but Burney impressed.

Another good day for Colin Kaepernick, who showed great touch on some of his throws. Pro Football Talk published a story after practice speculating that Kaepernick could make a Jay Cutler-type leap come Draft Day. I don’t think he’ll go as high as No. 11, but Kaepernick has definitely solidified himself as the No. 4 quarterback in this draft class at the very worst.

I thought Brooks Reed looked very good in the drills during the South Team practice. You have to love his non-stop motor.
2011 NFL Draft Stock Down: Senior Bowl Day 2 Practice

James Carpenter had a good practice Wednesday, but struggled in the one-on-one drills Thursday.

After the North team finished practice, I tweeted (@walterfootball), “Considering moving Jake Locker to Round 2 in my next 2011 NFL Mock Draft update. Inconsistent all week, but just awful today.”
I’ve tried to be patient. I figured Locker would improve during each succeeding practice. But Locker had his worst practice at the Senior Bowl on Thursday. His accuracy was just terrible. Even Mike Mayock, who has been somewhat of a Locker supporter, could only say this about the Washington quarterback: “He’s embraced the challenge. He’s putting himself out there.” What the hell does that mean? And is that really the most positive thing he could come up with?
Locker really needs to have a good game Saturday, or he’ll be in my second round next week.

It’s sad to see Kris O’Dowd struggle like this. He’s been completely overmatched this week. I hope there’s some sort of reason for this like an undisclosed injury.

Ricky Stanzi has been worse than Jake Locker. Stanzi’s Senior Bowl week has consisted of two things: checkdowns and interceptions to Kendric Burney.
