MOBILE, Ala. -- Carson Wentz hasn't yet thrown a pass in a Reese's Senior Bowl practice, but the excitement surrounding the 2016 NFL Draft's most prolific small-school prospect is palpable. Senior Bowl director Phil Savage said the buzz on Wentz, the quarterback from North Dakota State, is that he could be a top-10 pick in the draft.
  • "With Carson Wentz, most of the scouts I talked to during the year probably thought he was worthy of second-round consideration. But a second-round grade in September is a high grade for a small school. As the fall progressed, then it became, 'Well, no he's more of a first-rounder'," Savage said. "And within the last two weeks, I had two phone calls from (NFL personnel) friends of mine saying that Wentz isn't just a first-rounder, he's going in the 10, so there's a real buzz about him."

The Senior Bowl will be broadcast live exclusively on NFL Network on Saturday at 2:30 p.m. ET.

Wentz, for his part, said he isn't concerned about any draft projections and is focusing on his upcoming week working with Dallas Cowboys coach Jason Garrett and the rest of the Cowboys staff, which will coach the North squad. He had already met, by his own estimation, with half the clubs in the NFL by the time he spoke at the Senior Bowl's opening news conference.

The things that concern me about Wentz is his FCS competition, late riser and only two years starting while missing 1/2 of those years with an injury. He's has a lot of traits I like but I feel better about Goff at 4 right now.

It’s a tremendous opportunity,” Wentz said. “You’ve seen teams fall in love with players at any point in the draft process and this is the first step in that process. It’s a great opportunity to me, not just to show my physical abilities to everybody here but my mental side of things. The Cowboys’ staff will get to see it on a whole other level here.”

Wentz is arguably the most intriguing player at the Senior Bowl, evident by him meeting with almost half the teams on the first day. He talked with the Cowboys’ coaches over thephone before the bowl game, and had more meetings scheduled with them.

2016 Senior Bowl: Monday Rumor Mill

By Charlie Campbell - @draftcampbell

With all the general managers, coaches and scouts in attendance for the Senior Bowl, there is a lot of chatter going around. Here are some of the highlights from the rumor mill on Day 1.

  • One area scout of a team picking in the top 10 that doesn't need a quarterback was gushing over North Dakota State quarterback Carson Wentz. The team has given him a first-round grade and thinks that Wentz is the real deal. They say that Wentz has a good arm, size and athleticism, and they love him off the field. They like his pocket presence, field vision, experience under center, making play calls in the huddle, and potential to grow in the NFL. The scout said that he will fill out his frame in a NFL strength and conditioning program. That area scout said the big challenge for Wentz will be the drastic change in the speed of the game coming from North Dakota State's opponents compared to the NFL. This week at the Senior Bowl could vault Wentz high in the first round.
  • How high? Extremely high. In speaking with sources at the Browns, Wentz is definitely in play with Cleveland. He's viewed as a first-rounder despite a small sample size of starts in college. Sources say the Browns really like Wentz. There are some who believe that Wentz is the best quarterback prospect and they say the only reason why Wentz isn't the consensus No. 1 quarterback is the helmet he wears (i.e. coming from a small school). Assuming the Browns move on from Johnny Manziel and draft a quarterback, it sounds like they are focused on Wentz or Cal quarterback Jared Goff. Both are rated ahead of Memphis' Paxton Lynch, and Wentz could be the early lean.

  • Sources from one team picking high in the first round that is in the market for defensive back with their top selection said that Ohio State cornerback Eli Apple is behind Florida's Vernon Hargreaves and Florida State's Jalen Ramsey. Those evaluators say that Apple has a lot of talent with size and speed, but happens to be very raw. They say he is very "handsy" with receivers downfield and is always grabbing at them while they run their routes. They feel that until Apple is developed and coached up, he is going to get flagged a lot. It is understandable that Apple is a work in progress considering he is only a redshirt sophomore. Now, all that being said, other teams could disagree, as we've documented that there are some wide ranges in the draft grade of Ramsey.
  • Sources with multiple teams told BAN-INCOMING-IN-3-2-1 that Florida's Keanu Neal could be in the running to be the first safety selected, if you count Florida State's Jalen Ramsey as a cornerback.

That would be me.



Please don't let Cleveland wise up and take Wentz ahead of Goff.

This is a direct quote? He actually said the Cowboys will get to see all his skills on a whole other level?

I like it.

These are the things fans can't know and no matter how much you study the draft you aren't really prepared for it.

Garrett is gonna work with Wentz on improving his checkdowns throws and 4-5 yrd routes. Those are the ones the cowboys use the most.
