Day 2 Senior Bowl Notes

[InmanRoshi]

-Cameron Jordan stole the show. He is by far the best player here at the Senior Bowl and he’s been making himself a lot of money. Jordan is looking like a top ten pick out there. Whether it be 1-on-1′s or 11-on-11′s, Jordan has been unblockable. He has made the most of his long arms and big hands. Jordan uses them better than any other d-lineman in attendance. If you had to describe the way Jordan uses his hands to manhandle offensive lineman, there is no better description than, “ninja hands.” During 11-on-11′s, Jordan ripped through the offensive line and blew up Ricky Stanzi, which resulted in a forced fumble.

–Of the offensive lineman, Gabe Carimi was the most impressive. He won every single one of his battles and was going up against Jeremy Beal and Pierre Allen. His work came at left tackle and left guard.

Cam Jordan and Christian Ballard ftw! If we could trade down and get an extra 2nd, I'd love it if we could get Carimi with the later 1st rounder and then Ballard and a DB with the 2nd rounders

If Cam Jordan keeps this up he won't be available at the ninth pick.

 

[Gaede]

Love both of those players--Carimi and Jordan

Assuming we stay at 9, I wouldn't be surprised if C Jordan is the pick. We clearly need DL help, esp at DE.

The only thing about that IMO

there are a ton of good DL in this years draft

but a Carimi or Sherrod

 

[CATCH17]

Yes!

Looks like I got in on the Cam Jordan hype at the right time!


My boy Carimi is hushing his critics too.

Catch beat me to it.

I like both of these guys, so I'm happy. Then again, you wish they could come in at least slightly under the radar, but it just won't happen with this high of a profile player.

The way Nate Solder is playing he is going to be the Top OT coming out. Ahead of Sherrod and Carimi.

Cam Jordan plays and practices angry. He's very aggressive.

It's because of him I knew Tyron Smith was the real deal. Jordan was ripping through people all season long and Smith outplayed him. Both will be very good NFL players.

Wes Bunting predicted Jordan's rise and Fairley's rise on Vela's site. The 49ers are a major threat to take Jordan and have been paying a whole lot of attention to him. Jordan is for sure going to be in the mix.

Bunting gave Jordan and Smith the same grade. For Dallas, it could come down to Jordan or Smith at 9, and the 49ers or another team might make the choice for Dallas.

The number 1 OT is there for Smith's taking. He could start at RT for Dallas and have Pro Bowl potential as a LT, imo.

I'm praying for either Solder or Tyron Smith with a signing of Nnamdi or Champ out of free agency.

The run on the defensive linemen starts at pick one. The run on the OTs may start right after the top 10, so if you want an OT, you better not get cute and trade down. You better take Smith at 9 if Dareus and Jordan are gone and you were targeting them.

I'm hoping for Tyron Smith or Cameron Jordan.

In free agency, I think Dallas will address the defense, but it will very most likely be defensive line and safety. I think Jerry Jones' comments about the Cowboys CBs points to safety still being the major priority in the secondary. Jones went into some distinct detail (which made a ton of sense) about Dallas' CBs amid his usual pre-draft talk.

I'd do cartwheels if it was Smith. It's long past time to put some blue-chip talent on this offensive line.

I want two Pac Ten guys. It's a miracle.

This is something I've been wondering about. I've only seen the highlights and a lot of the time they were not matched up. I remember one time Jordan put Smith on the ground with a spin move which made me wonder about Smith. Your report helps a lot, thanks for the info.

I didn't see the game, but Bunting gave an ever so slight edge to Jordan; however, I read another analyst state that Smith won that battle.

With Jordan dominating at the Senior Bowl, Smith probably is going to score major points with scouts and general managers on that film.

Good stuff thanks for the info - I'd never heard of Bunting until a couple of weeks ago, but he certainly seems to be on target with his evaluations.

 

[MarionBarberThe4th]

I always give tons of respect to the guys who dominate the Senior Bowl. Alualu caught my eye big time last year.

However Id still be happy if Cameron Jordan went top 8.

No problem. If you go to Vela's site, (Cowboys Nation), you can go back and look at all the draft chats Vela had with Bunting. Bunting was on Cameron Jordan (in the top 10) before anyone. He told Vela that he thought Jordan was an option for Dallas at 9. Also, Bunting thinks Smith will go in the top 10 and will be in the mix for Dallas at 9. He stated this a good while back.

 

[InmanRoshi]

It was hard to grade the Jordan vs. Tyson matchup because the game got so out of hand so fast. It was 42-0 at halftime, and USC spent most of the 2nd half just running out the clock. I wish there were more meaningfull snaps played to evaluate both players better.
