I want to revamp coaching staff. We got some decent young players but can use talent across the board at every position not named OG or center

North Practice: Stock Up
1. C Jack Allen, Michigan State
It’s been a very impressive week for Allen, who came into the event facing questions regarding his length and athleticism. He’s countered by looking terrific in space, while showing an impressive anchor against power rushers. Allen’s biggest strength is that he initiates contact right off the snap, and consistently shoots his hands inside to gain control of the defender. I think he’s gonna surprise people with where he lands in the draft.
2. OT Jason Spriggs, Indiana
Few players have generated more buzz this week than Spriggs, who has admittedly had an up and down Senior Bowl week. He’s adapted quickly to coaching, but his quickness and ability to mirror speed rushers is what has coaches excited. There are still technical flaws and awareness issues with Spriggs, but many here believe his flaws are fixable. I think some teams will value his versatility and movement skills over Taylor Decker. DraftBreakdown’s Jeff Risdon told me he’s hearing top 10 chatter. Too rich for my blood, but the attraction is there.
3. LB Blake Martinez, Stanford
Martines hasn’t been flashy, but the linebacker has been quietly solid all week against the run and pass. He’s got very active feet and is physical in his fills, using his hands to jolt and get off blocks. In zone coverage he works into his drop quickly, keeping his feet moving while reading the quarterbacks eyes. I think he’s gonna run a decent 40 and impress some teams looking for an inside ‘backer. Smart, team-oriented guy too.
North Practice: Stock Down
1. TE Bryce Williams, East Carolina
Williams got shut down by K.J. Dillon during one 1v2 rep, while dropping another pass in the end zone. He had at least one more drop on the day, and looks stiff as a route-runner. I was low on Williams coming into this week, applying a sixth-round grade, but watching his inability to separate makes me think he could go undrafted.
2. OT Willie Beavers, Western Michigan
After a quick stint at guard, the Western Michigan lineman went back to his more natural position of tackle on Wednesday before playing both spots today. For a guy 6-4 with just 33.5-inch arms, winning with leverage is going to be vital for Beavers at the next level. Instead, Beavers plays far too upright, letting defensive linemen into his chest and getting walked back off the snap. He fights hard, but until he learns to play with better technique and utilize his quickness, Beavers will remain a long shot to make an NFL roster this fall.
3. C Austin Blythe, Iowa
It was another rough day for Blythe, who has struggled to win against longer pass rushers due to his lack of length and size. He simply can’t reach most defensive linemen, getting knocked off balance easily at the point of attack. Blythe also had several off-target shotgun snaps, and one low snap that Wentz couldn’t pull out from under center.
South Practice: Stock Up
1. WR Paul McRoberts, Southeast Missouri State
It has been a quiet week for the talented receiver who generated a lot of buzz in the weeks leading up the Senior Bowl, but McRoberts finally looked comfortable today on the field. He doesn’t have great speed, but McRoberts second gear and smooth acceleration allow him to get a step vertically on corners. He had one nice adjustment down the sideline to come down with a leaping catch between the corner and safety. His routes looked a little more explosive as the week went on as well.
2. OG Sebastian Tretola, Arkansas
I think The Football Educator’s Brandon Thorn said it best on Tretola when we were watching practice: “It’s not always pretty, but he gets the job done.” That describes Tretola perfectly, a powerful, aggressive guard who can get doubled over at times, but fights back with surprising quickness to recover. He’s powerful enough to jolt defenders without always landing his punch, and is much more nimble than I thought in pass protection.
3. DT Javon Hargrave, South Carolina State
It can’t be easy to arrive in Mobile shortly before practice begins and get ready to wow scouts despite a rudimentary understand of the defensive scheme being implemented this week, but Hargrave pulled off the feat in impressive fashion today. He isn’t incredibly long, but his lower half is ridiculously stout, making him tough to move off the ball. He’s got surprising quickness in his first step, able to beat several linemen, including Cody Whitehair on Thursday. Excited to see Hargrave in the game Saturday.
South Practice: Stock Down
1. QB Brandon Allen, Arkansas
I came into the week hoping to see something from Allen, but I’ve been largely disappointed. He’s hesitant to pull the trigger down the field, holding the ball too long in the pocket. At one point during yesterday’s practice he tucked it and ran on four consecutive plays, and today it was more of the same. He also forced several ill-advised passes into coverage, failing to see zone dropping linebackers on a few occasions today. Allen’s arm is decent enough to attract teams, but until he learns to process the game quicker and more efficiently, he’ll remain a mid-late day three pick at best.
2. DL Bronson Kaufusi, BYU
Kaufusi is high-energy and physical, but lacks a clear plan of attack in his pass rushes. His movements are often out of control and erratic, causing Kaufusi to lose his balance at times. There are some really nice tools to work with that will attract 4-3 and 3-4 teams, but Kaufusi has to show more efficient hand usage and creativity in his rushes.
3. LB Josh Forrest, Kentucky
My lowest-rated player at the Senior Bowl, Forrest’s rawness has been on display in his run recognition and coverage of the field. He plays hard, but the Kentucky linebacker is stiff in space and doesn’t have the range his physical appearance would suggest. Forrest struggles to get off blocks in the run game and is too often out of position. I think he needs a strong game Saturday to work his way into a draftable grade for scouts.

Not too concerned about it. This is football after all, not rocket surgery. As long as he likes to play and can keep his nose clean, not really concerned about an interview. Just don't ask him to do your taxes.
Haven't heard much about him at Senior Bowl this week.

Read some reports he was taking false steps and bad angles in practices.

I would take it. But I have little doubt Dallas does that. Too good to be true.

Upgrading the skill positions that were a source of pain last year, you are so right. Just terrible.
