Rotoworld:

Northern Iowa redshirt senior RB David Johnson won the award for "Best Performing Running Back" throughout the week at the Senior Bowl.

Prior to the Senior Bowl, CBS Sports Dane Brugler noted that "Johnson projects as a bigger version of Charles Sims, who was a Senior Bowl standout last year." NFL Media analyst Mike Mayock gave Johnson the Charles Sims comparison. TFY Draft Insider's Tony Pauline previously reported that Johnson is being graded as a second- to fourth-round draft pick.

Wide Receivers
First off, it’s clear that Auburn’s Sammie Coates has elite length, speed and natural athletic ability. It was scary how fast Coates was able to eat up the cushion of off-man cover corners. He was running vertical routes at a different speed than the rest of the Senior Bowl receivers, and also dominated at the catch point during red zone drills. His evaluation is a difficult one, in that he isn’t a natural hands catcher and lacks clean route running technique. He’ll have to be taught how to run a route tree and is a bit of a one trick pony, but that one trick was tough to stop here in Mobile for the Senior Bowl.

A player I was too low on entering the event was Kansas State’s Tyler Lockett. He’s a fast, quick-footed and well-nuanced receiver that understands how to create consistent separation with his routes, but the concern going into the event was Lockett’s inability to catch the ball away from his frame. Cutting down on the drops this week and tracking downfield throws without issue, I was glad to see Lockett perform at such a high level. He’s a technician with obvious quickness and obvious limitations from a size perspective, but someone that an NFL team will want in their passing game.

Much the opposite of Lockett’s progression, Stanford’s Ty Montgomery showed more concerns than promise as we reviewed the tape. Ty could not track the deep ball and struggled to move fluidly through the route tree. He’s a package player that needs manufactured touches on returns, reverses and underneath crossers, and his saving grace is the ability to make plays when the ball is in his hands.

Last but not least, Central Arkansas’ Dezmin Lewis is a small school prospect you need to familiarize yourself with. Very fluid in and out of breaks, and gorgeously athletic at the catch point, Lewis moves so well for a 6’3 ½” 215 lbs. wide receiver. He showed he could win contested catches and that’s exactly what you want to see from a receiver with size and length.

I recorded two practices, but it was just the south guys. Didn't really see much of the backs. I wasn't blown away by any of the WRs. Coates is probably the best overall package of physical skills and movement. Wouldn't say he's an obvious first round talent though. I thought Rannell Hall from Central Florida looked surprisingly decent for someone I'd never heard of. Didn't like what I saw from Lewis.

At this point I'm just looking forward to seeing the marquee names like Cooper, Parker, Funchess, and Green-Beckham operate at the combine. You can get a sense for their movement skills by watching their games, but the positional drills at the combine really give you a great perspective on that. As of now I'm not that excited by this WR class though. It will be interesting to see if their high mock draft slots from January carry over into the real thing in May.

Dezmin Lewis was the best big WR there. Here is a leaping catch from Day 1: http://gfycat.com/CavernousScaredArmyworm

Devante Davis and Vince Mayle looked ordinary. Mayle had a lot of strength he used to push off, but otherwise not enough quickness. More buildup speed than off-the-line speed.

I measured Coates first 10 yards on one of his Go routes and got him at 1.57. And he did it grass, too. Same figure as Odell Beckham and Brandin Cooks at the Combine. His get off from the LOS is insane. Lots of lower body power.

People are overblowing his rawness. He's got the movement skills to be a good route runner. With his size/strength/speed, he doesn't need to be a technician. He isn't any more raw than Allen Robinson was.

It wasn't a comparison of their overall game. Coates reminds me most of Cody Latimer.

His hands looked fine at the Senior Bowl when asked to run a variety of routes.

Rotoworld:

Michigan State redshirt senior WR Tony Lippett "could be a No. 4 WR in the NFL, but he should be a Day 3 pick, not the second- or third-round pick he has been mentioned as," wrote Scout's Inc.

"He is a guy who had a quick rise this season, standing out on tape for making a lot of contested catches, demonstrating good body control and ball skills to win 50-50 balls against defensive backs," wrote Todd McShay, Steve Muench and Kevin Weidl. "We didn't see any of that ability from Lippett this week as he faced better competition at cornerback. Moreover, he didn't show good body control as a route-runner and struggled to separate." The 6-foot-3, 185-pound Lippett finished with 1,198 receiving yards and 11 touchdowns this past season. An NFC East scout said Spartans HC Mark Dantonio played Lippett at cornerback late in the year "because he thinks he is legit at the position and as good as Chris Gamble." Scouts don't seem to agree.

Nebraska senior RB Ameer Abdullah "is by far the most explosive running back here in Mobile this week," according to Scout's Inc.

"He's undersized, as we expected (5-8, 198 pounds), and his ball security is an issue on tape," wrote Todd McShay, Steve Muench and Kevin Weidl. "But he is a natural pass-catcher who can snatch the ball out of the air, and even though he isn't a power between-the-tackles runner, he gets to and through the hole quickly. He runs angry." The 5-foot-8, 198-pound Abdullah has worked his way through a muddled RB class to find solid Day 2 footing.

Scout's Inc. calls Colorado State senior QB Garrett Grayson "the most polished [at the Senior Bowl] in terms of his mechanics, but he has physical limitations."

"He has average arm strength, with his downfield passes hanging in the air a little bit," wrote Todd McShay, Steve Muench and Kevin Weidl. "He also struggled with his decision-making at times, particularly during the team periods." Grayson, who posted 7,975 yards and a 55/18 TD/INT ratio across 27 starts for the Rams over the past two years, is fighting to become a late Day 3 pick.

Rotoworld:

The Browns were "very impressed" with Baylor redshirt senior QB Bryce Petty's "demeanor" in their talk with him, reported ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.

"Petty could be an intriguing option for the Browns, possibly as a one- or two-year stash option to develop him behind the scenes," Fowler wrote. "Petty has good size (6-foot-2 3/4, 230 pounds) and wasn't overly accurate at Baylor (low-60s completion percentages) but made up for that by averaging nearly 10 yards per passing attempt over two seasons as a starter. He's athletic for his size, notching 20 rushing touchdowns the last two seasons." Petty struggled a little bit during the first few days of Senior Bowl practices -- which probably isn't a surprise given the offense he was coming from -- but he isn't suffering from a confidence crisis. He told Newsday this week that he feels like he's the No. 1 quarterback in the draft.

Rotoworld:

Scout's Inc. writes that Duke senior WR Jamison Crowder "has stood out all week for his ball skills and ability to quickly transition upfield after the catch."

"He has simply played a little faster than what we've seen on his tape so far, and caught the ball better in traffic," wrote Todd McShay, Steve Muench and Kevin Weidl. "But perhaps most encouraging is his savvy as a route-runner. He has a great ability to set defensive backs up with subtle moves like head bobs and shoulder movement that get them off balance. He's undersized and will never be a No. 1 receiver in the NFL, but he could be very effective in the slot." The 5-foot-8, 174-pound Crowder has been drawing comparisons to Brandin Cooks, Antonio Brown and T.Y. Hilton.

Jan 24 - 4:07 PM

Duke senior WR Jamison Crowder "will play in the slot and as a return man at the next level," noted Scout's Inc.

"He isn't as fast as [Phillip] Dorsett but is just as quick coming out of his breaks," wrote Todd McShay, Steve Muench and Kevin Weidl. "He's a natural as a returner as well at tracking the ball and transitioning upfield." The 5-foot-8, 174-pound Crowder has drawn comparisons to Saints' 2014 first-round pick Brandin Cooks this week, while NFL Media analyst Bucky Brooks wrote during the season that scouts around the league should use Pro Bowl WR Antonio Brown as his comparison.

Rotoworld:

Miami senior WR Phillip Dorsett "is on another level speed-wise from the rest of the South wide receivers," according to Scout's Inc.

"He is quick off the line and can eat up cushions in a hurry, shows polish as a route-runner and shows great burst out of his cuts," wrote Todd McShay, Steve Muench and Kevin Weidl. "He had a couple of drops, but his explosiveness really stood out, especially transitioning quickly after the catch. He projects as a slot receiver and return specialist in the NFL." Dorsett (5-foot-9 5/8, 183 pounds) has 4.3 speed and a 24.2 yard-per-catch average. The burner said he molds his game after Steelers WR Antonio Brown and Ravens WR Steve Smith.

Jan 24 - 3:11 PM

Scout's Inc. observes that what stands out about Miami senior WR Phillip Dorsett "is that he has under-control speed."

"Some guys are burners in a straight line but can't gear down or get in and out of breaks under control enough to catch the ball. That isn't the case with Dorsett, who possesses every quality you want in a deep speed threat," wrote Todd McShay, Steve Muench and Kevin Weidl. "One thing that all of the NFL's elite home-run threats all share -- whether they are running backs or wide receivers -- is the ability to accelerate off of their cuts. We saw that with Dorsett on Wednesday, as he ran a shorter route, snatched the ball out of the air on the fly, made a guy miss and then accelerated off his cut. It reminded us of Chris Johnson. We were blown away watching him weave in and out of traffic at full speed; he is just so good with the ball in his hands." The Scout Inc. team concludes with a statement surprising in its optimism for the prospect: "We didn't know he was this good. He could find himself solidly in the Day 2 of the draft range."

Browns Senior Bowl spotlight: Auburn WR Sammie Coates

 

[Donnybrook]

Senior Bowl QBs were sub-par today. Maybe two or three were draftable IMO. Garret Grayson reminded me most of Kirk Cousins physically but even more of a project. Not impressed with Petty whatsoever. Sims showed good escape-ability in the pocket but had accuracy problems.

The depth at running back in the game was most impressive. Obviously no elite runners but several mid-round picks.

Rotoworld:

Miami senior TE Clive Walford "has a chance to capitalize [on a weak TE class] by being one of the first ones to go off the board," according to ESPN's Todd McShay.

"Speed was a question mark entering this week, but he showed plenty of it to go with very good athleticism, size (6-4, 254 pounds) and ball skills," McShay wrote. "Moreover, he can hold his own as an inline blocker, adding to his versatility." NFL Media analyst Mike Mayock said last week that Walford is "the most explosive tight end in this year's draft." The analyst was impressed with Walford's versatility and said he expected the TE to run a 40-yard dash around 4.65, which Mayock said would be "tremendous" for his size. Walford posted 44 receptions for 676 yards and seven touchdowns this season.

Auburn redshirt junior WR Sammie Coates surprised onlookers by reporting to the Senior Bowl up 10 pounds from his collegiate weight, reported The Guardian's Matt Rybaltowski.

"Coates might not be a carbon copy of Terrell Owens, but the added muscle could help his cause in the coming months," Rybaltowski wrote. "On Saturday, he appeared to make a spectacular touchdown catch on a back-shoulder fade from Blake Sims, but was unable to get his second foot down in the left corner of the end zone. Coates’ stature and skill set are similar to that of Dwayne Bowe, a 2010 Pro Bowl wideout with the Chiefs. With Bowe on the wrong side of 30 and the Chiefs struggling at receiver, Coates could be a nice fit in Kansas City." The 6-foot-2, 213-pound wideout has "[Terrell Owens'] body, [Odell Beckham Jr.'s] burst and [Darrius Heyward-Bey's] hands," NFL.com's Daniel Jeremiah wrote recently.

It was vitally important for Smith to prove that he wasn't a one-trick pony last week, and he did so. Some analysts rate Smith as a first-rounder.

He reversed course this season with only five in tie 2014 regular season. But then he dropped three passes against the Bengals and only caught 4 of 9 targets against the Broncos. I don't know if he had any against the Patriots.

So, Hilton doesn't have the greatest hands either but is still a difference maker.

Rotoworld:

Central Arkansas senior WR Dezmin Lewis "had an outstanding week" at the Senior Bowl, noted NFL.com's Daniel Jeremiah.
"I had a chance to talk to him before the Senior Bowl, and he told me, 'They're going to know who I am by the end of the week,' and I've got to give it to him -- he was outstanding," Jeremiah said. "He's got good size at 6-foot-3, 215 pounds, but also is very smooth for a big receiver and can be a good route runner." The 6-foot-4, 212-pound Lewis is a "natural pass catcher," according to TFY Draft Insider's Tony Pauline, who reported that, coming into the season, Lewis was receiving middle-round grades from scouts. "He wins out battles and displays run after catch skill," Pauline wrote.

"If others such as Todd Gurley of Georgia and Melvin Gordon of Wisconsin are already taken, Cobb might not be a bad alternative." The 5-foot-11, 229-pound Cobb is a Rotoworld favorite because he breaks tackles, falls forward, and won't hurt you in any aspect of the game.

"As a result, it might not be a stretch to compare him with DeSean Jackson and TY Hilton. At next month’s NFL Draft Combine, Dorsett will look to break Chris Johnson’s record of 4.24secs in the 40-yard dash."

"Much like Forte and other scat backs like Darren Sproles and CJ Spiller, Abdullah has the explosiveness to produce home run plays and can come out of the backfield as a receiver," Rybaltowski wrote. "The aforementioned backs have continued to excel on Sundays in spite of their lack of size.

"He may end up being a fifth- or sixth-round pick because of the nature of the position, but as far as the value, I saw him as a third- or fourth-rounder." The 6-foot, 206-pounder, a tough runner who can create yards on his own, collected 1,522 rushing yards and 22 touchdowns on 230 carries this season. Savage adds that Langford "could get on the field in those sub situations or pass situations, and "will find a place in the NFL." Langford currently projects as a mid-round pick, though this year's stacked RB class could push him to Day 3.
