Panthers Senior Bowl / Shrine Player Meetings

[La Pantera]

the comparison i've seen most with Crowder is Antonio Brown

[SCMunnerlyn1]

Not swann please and thanks.

[gettlemanjack]

quarterback Garrett Grayson one of the big winners at the senior bowl, everyone raving about him now. We meet with him, so did 49ers, Broncos, Texans, etc

#BillsFanaticsBF @ BillsFanaticsBF 3h

Per @DraftDiamonds Bills scouts love Colorado State QB

Garrett Grayson.

Buffalo Rumblings @BuffRumblings 4h

If the #Bills draft a quarterback this year, Garrett Grayson

might be a good target

NFL Draft Geek @ NFLDraftGeek 2d

Garrett Grayson #ColoradoState is BY FAR the best

quarterback down here on either squad!

Being a CSU student, I've watched Grayson and Sambrailo a lot in person.

 

Grayson is probably benefiting from the small pool of QBs. Despite his size, he's a decent pocket passer with the ability to use his athleticism if needed (think DA), but his decision making is questionable at times. He also benefited from a creative offensive system. Might need something similar in the NFL if he's to succeed.

 

Sambrailo is long and athletic and any negatives in his play will be fixed with experience and proper coaching. He might be a better NFL guard rather than a tackle since he will struggle with athletic 4-3 DEs. I don't see him going in the 1st round.

Yea I saw some video of Crowder the other night and I thought man he would be nice returning punts. Him or the kid from K-State.

I've seen a mock suggesting that Ty Montgomery would be someone we would draft for kick returns also.

[CarolinaNCSU]

I'd honestly love two guys from Duke this year...Crowder and Tomlinson.

There are a few WR/KR players in this draft that are similar. Jamison Crowder from Duke, Tyler Lockett from Kstate and

Philip Dorsett from Miami.

I'll be fine with any one of those three in the mid rounds. 

[TheSpecial1]

I'll be fine with any one of those three in the mid rounds. 

Agreed. Any of them would cross off 2 of our current needs. WR speed and PR/KR.

[WOW!!]

Getting Jalean Strong and Crowder in the draft would be good for business. .

all 3 were at the Senior Bowl, looks like Lockett and Crowder generated the most buzz:

Director of Scouting at NDT Scouting Kyle Crabbs @NDTScouting 2h

WR Tyler Lockett got a ton of buzz this week at the Senior

Bowl; but those buzzing about him now for 1st time just

weren't paying attention.

ESPN James Walker @ JamesWalkerNFL 8h

A player who generated a lot of buzz @seniorbowl is KSU WR

Tyler Lockett . He told me he interviewed w/28 NFL teams

KCChiefs.com Pete Sweeney @pgsween

Safe to say K-State's Tyler Lockett 's draft stock is rising.

#SeniorBowl

Fox Sports David Ubben @ davidubben

How does Tyler Lockett 's stock rise by doing what he did for

2 years? Who knew he was an extremely refined WR?

(Besides everyone in CFB?)

RosterWatch NFL Player Analysis @ RosterWatch

Tyler Lockett is going to be the NFL's next slot machine.

Could replace Randall Cobb in Green Bay...

NFL Draft Analyst Tony Pauline @TonyPauline

Tyler Lockett /WR/K-State looking real good.

Chargers writer Garrett Sisti @GarrettSisti 47m

Watching some of the Senor Bowl Practices and WRs Tyler

Lockett and Jamison Crowder look like they could be strong

Royal replacements

RosterWatch NFL Player Analysis @ RosterWatch

We value what prospects say about others. EVERY North Squad DB we've talked to says WR Jamison Crowder is toughest WR to cover.

49ers.com

Jamison Crowder is a player everyone keeps talking, and tweeting about, at the college all-star showcase.

Lions writer Tim Twentyman @ttwentyman

Duke's Jamison Crowder making a big impression at Senior

Bowl.

Fox Sports P. Schrager @ PSchrags

Jamison Crowder, Duke WR, continues to raise eyebrows w/

his athleticism. Very impressive

NFL Draft Scout Matt Miller @ nfldraftscout

Really impressed with Jamison Crowder . Explosive, quick

feet. Could be a nightmare in the slot and returning.

CBS Sports Dane Brugler @ dpbrugler

Duke WR Jamison Crowder is a Brandin Cooks Lite out here.

Explosive breaks with natural adjustments on the ball. Like

him more and more

*John Crockett, RB, North Dakota State (EW)

Optimum Scouting Eric Galko @OptimumScouting

Most intriguing RB at West #shrinegame practice running

routes is clearly John Crockett . Just too fast. LBs are at a

total loss.

ESPN Steve Muench @ MuenchESPN

Impressed with what I've seen from North Dakota State RB

John Crockett. Built well, runs hard and catches the ball well

#EastWestShrineGame

Small School Football Scout, Consultant of East/West Shrine Game Damond Talbot @ drocksthaparty

#NDSU running back John Crockett has been busy: Bears, Falcons, Bucs, Browns, Ravens, Chargers, 49ers, Cowboys, Seahawks, Redskins

Jeff Risdon @ JeffRisdon

Giants talking to NDSU RB John Crockett, who looked good

[gettlemanjack]

Sporting News:

"Crockett looked like one of the most draftable players on either roster during the week. ... Crockett is an excellent example of the importance of college all-star games. Prior to the week of practices, he could have easily been dismissed as a small-school player ... he measured 5-11 3/4 and 217 pounds, with 10-inch hands. ... Crockett is very strong and explosive into contact. He cuts well and shows good vision. Observers may be surprised by his speed, given his size. West linebackers were helpless against him during one-on-one coverage drills,. It seemed that everything he tried against them worked."

*Justin Coleman, CB, Tennessee (EW)

*Damian Swann, CB, Georgia (EW)

Swann was 2nd-Team All-SEC by both the AP and the Coaches (behind Vernon Hargreaves of Florida and Senquez Golson of Ole Miss on both)

Optimum Scouting Eric Galko @OptimumScouting

DBs at #shrinegame practice that clearly excelled in one on

ones were Tennessee 's Justin Coleman and Georgia's

Damian Swann.

Sporting News:

East coach Mike Singletary first mentioned Tennessee senior CB Justin Coleman when asked which players had impressed him the most at the Shrine Game.

"The week was an excellent test for Coleman. He was forced to match up with receivers in tight man coverage more often than he did for the Vols. Coleman excelled in those drills. He also showcased excellent ball skills"

http://mobile.sportingnews.com/article/4632770-nfl-draft-90th-east-west-shrine-game-practice-john-crockett-justin-coleman-damian-swann

Sporting News:

Swann’s ability..(was) immediately apparent during position drills. He could stay with any receiver in coverage drills. The trait that was on display the most, however, was his (physicality)... he wasn't shy about getting aggressive ...outmuscling

...

Looking at Georgia's tape, Swann was easily one of the smartest and most (versatile) players in the Bulldogs' secondary. Georgia moved him from deep safety to slot corner to the boundary, depending on..the opposing offense’s alignment. Swann was able to handle all of this..easily while..often calling out offensive tendencies based on alignment and leverage. This trait showed up again in Shrine Game practices

today's Seattle Post - Intelligencer:

"Damian Swann.. just has a knack of making big, game-changing plays... a ball-hawking defensive playmaker... He’s a walking highlight reel... Seattle would be a great landing spot for Swann."
