Senior Bowl prospects of note

[ncfan]

Sweat just blew by the OL and ul in Tyree Jackson's face for what would be a sack

 

Oshane Ximines showing solid athletic ability. Beat his man and rhe OL got him on a hold (looked like Dillard)

[Captain Morgan]

I was down on Sweat because of his weight...liking the progress he's making.

Thanks for all the posts...I'm a little surprised that people aren't talking about how many OT prospects there are this year.  Seems in years past you'd only see 2 or 3, and they all be gone after the first round.

So far the OTs havnt impressed me here

Dillard did nothing to impress, got beat a few tiles and had a big hold when a guy beat him.

 

North team coming on now with Risner

I've been all in on Sweat at #16. Hate to inform people, but the 6'6", 275+ pound athletic freaks with good on field production usually go in the top 5. Sweat has everything you want minus the weight.

Like this Bradbury kid from state

Renell Wren/Arizona State has been so dominant during the early portion of North practice they are now doubling him. #SeniorBowl

Interesting. Reading up on him a little, it seems like he's one of those guys who is a great athlete but who doesn't live up to it on game day. Only 14.5 tackles for loss and 3 sacks in his entire college career. He'll probably be a training camp hero wherever he ends up.

Seems like it may be better than I thought but I’m not sold on any of them being top 10 guys that might drop. I think any at 16 are still likely a reach but seems like there might be more depth. I think the past 4 years having only one real good tackle class might be making me gun-shy. I think in 2017 we got lucky and may have gotten a really good tackle at 64. The “top” tackles in 2015, 2017 and 2018 have way more busts than hits and most went 1st round.

 

I'm scared to death to draft an OT in the first because of what you just said.  I'm talking about hitting on a second round prospect like Moton...if he's a bust, he's not a first.

The risk is there for every position but it just seems like so many first round OTs bust...like our current left tackle.  At least we didn't waste a draft pick on him...only tens of millions of dollars in cap space.

My hope is for DE in first, OT in the second and interior OL with one of the 3rds.  I'm most worried about a DE being there in first.  But if our Gettle-less staff feels good enough about OT in the first, I'll be ok.  I'll be worried A LOT, but I'll trust them over my fears.

That is a great point that people seem to forget.  Everyone expects that quality day one starter out of the first round but in reality that is the exception and not the rule, uspecially if you are drafting out of the top-5. 

Also certain positions, such as DE and OT, can take a year or two.  Some people act like you just draft one in a later round and give them a year or two and that is the same, but sometimes you need to invest in the first round so you are starting with a better prospect.

The other nice thing about Sweat is that he should be scheme versatile if we're truly considering this 3-4 idea.

Great thread 

[AU-panther]

Will be interesting to see how Sweat and Burns compare throughout the draft season.  They both seem to really athletic guys, with length, that need to add some weight.

  He’s why I never understood the Brian Burns mocks to us. If we were going edge rusher, get one that could play either scheme, and the potential to easily fill out enough to play 3 downs at 4-3 DE. Burns May never weigh what Sweat does now.
