Interested in seeing how Kinlaw does.

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Interested in seeing how Kinlaw does.

Been talking to his agent. he definitely finished the year strong in the Alamo Bowl. Louis Rankin is another real interesting RB at this game.

 

[Jeff Tefertiller]

The two RBs I would like to know more are:

Hightower - How does he play against better competition?

Broussard - Any sign of the play he was before the injury?

Thanks guys for the coverage.

Steve Octavien LB Nebraska. Always had tons of potential, but battled injuries throughout his career.

Big fan of Corey Lynch. I hope he shows some here to make scouts excited to draft him.

 

[Cecil Lammey]

Big fan of Corey Lynch. I hope he shows some here to make scouts excited to draft him.

I am definitely seeking out Corey after practice. He's a hard hitter with a nose for the ball.

 

[Cecil Lammey]

Steve Octavien LB Nebraska. Always had tons of potential, but battled injuries throughout his career.

Octavien has great ability, if only he could shake the injury bug.

 

[Cecil Lammey]

We're in El Paso and very excited to start tomorrow off with the mini combine. Was able to talk with Marcel Reece on the plane from Phoenix to El Paso. Then I was riding in the hotel shuttle with Bret Meyer and Demetrius Bell. Both seemed to be very excited to be here, and Meyer and I were talking about Todd Blythe (who was at the Shrine Game). Can't wait for tomorrow!

 

[Jiggyonthehut]

Keep an eye on Boatman will ya Cecil/Bloom?

 

[Keys Myaths]

Keep an eye on Adam Spieker as well. I'm very interested in how he does.

NCAA statistics show Taylor Tharp of Boise State as 7th nationally this season and 4th career in passing efficiency. Very accurate. Is anyone giving him a look?

The players on the Texas squad have some connection with Texas (high school), not only have attented Texas colleges.

Happy to see Eric Foster playing well. He was a big part of Rutgers' defense, and rooting for him to make it to the next level. Has he been used solely at DT, or at DE too? I know there has been talk of moving him.

 

[DawnBTVS]

I was impressed watching Amendola (Texas Tech) during the season and upon seeing him play for the first time, I immediately thought of Wes Welker as well.

If he keeps it up during the week, what is his round projection?

Any word on how New Mexico WR Travis Brown and OT Devin Clark have looked thus far?

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Interested in seeing how Kinlaw does.

Kinlaw doesnt seem to have what it takes to hang at the next level - he runs small and has below average tools and size.

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hightower has good moves and cuts, but doesn't have a great burst and doesn't do too well between the tackles. I don't see much of an NFL future for him. Broussard needs to get in a little better shape, but has shown good toughness and hands. He could hang around.

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Steve Octavien LB Nebraska. Always had tons of potential, but battled injuries throughout his career.

Showing sideline to sideline range and valid instincts so far this week. We like him.

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Big fan of Corey Lynch. I hope he shows some here to make scouts excited to draft him.

He's winning us over - Lynch is not in tip top shape because he just took three weeks off to get married, but you can see flashes of good enough athleticism and great instincts.

Keep an eye on Boatman will ya Cecil/Bloom?

Boatman should get into a camp, but he hasn't impressed as much as some of the other OL here - the OL here on the whole was as good or better than the Shrine Game guys.

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Keep an eye on Adam Spieker as well. I'm very interested in how he does.

Spieker's having trouble with power DL and not standing out this week.

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

NCAA statistics show Taylor Tharp of Boise State as 7th nationally this season and 4th career in passing efficiency. Very accurate. Is anyone giving him a look?

The QBs here and at the Shrine Game (except for Josh Johnson ) range from barely adequate to - although in fairness to the Texas QBs, it was ridiculously windy at yesterday's practice.

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Happy to see Eric Foster playing well. He was a big part of Rutgers' defense, and rooting for him to make it to the next level. Has he been used solely at DT, or at DE too? I know there has been talk of moving him.

He's getting some snaps at DE, and honestly not looking nearly as good against more mobile tackles than he looked against more top-heavy interior linemen. We still like him, but the buzz has died down since his dominant first practice.

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

I was impressed watching Amendola (Texas Tech) during the season and upon seeing him play for the first time, I immediately thought of Wes Welker as well.If he keeps it up during the week, what is his round projection?

5th-7th round at best. We're very impressed. He's won us over with his hands, routes, body control, and quicks.

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Any word on how New Mexico WR Travis Brown and OT Devin Clark have looked thus far?

Clark has looked decent, priority UFA type. Brown is not here - he got moved up to the Shrine Game and had a good week. He might be the better of the UNM WRs in this draft even though Smith has gotten more pub.

 

[Kmross]

Any word on Thaddeus Colman OL and Jaymar Johnson WR? Im a big fan of the SWAC and I'm willing to bet that Jaymar Johnson will be one of the steals of this draft. How is he looking so far? What is his draft status?

The highlight of this game came at the halftime when Buddy Ryan blasted his team with best remark being "that first quarterback we had was GD disaster."
