Fairly boring game TBH.
The Cincy kid is intriguing as a potential 3rd down back but I doubt he can block a lick.
Coples looked really good and probably moves into the top 5. He consistently won right away and his size is perfect as a 4-3 DE.
Upshaw and Ingram didn't do much good or bad and just kinda played solid football. I think at least one of them will be there at 14 but the combine will tell the tale there. Both will be better off playing in an attacking scheme. They are explosive guys who need to move not read and react.
Was unimpressed with Bentley who had been a hot name all week at CB. He looked lost having to play off the ball. The rules suck for a CB. Giving a 10 yard cushion to every WR is insane since almost no NFL plays that way. All these guys looked like 2011 TNew.
The North team was moving their QBs out of the pocket which seems almost unfair in a game with zero blitzing and base cover 1 or 3 all that is allowed. Guys with undraftable grades by some scouts looked good today at QB because of the schemes. But int he pocket stuff seemed to do very little.
Kellen Moore does look like a player to me. He can't fit every scheme but he knows where the whole in the coverage is and gets the ball there before the WR gets there. He is like a very weak-armed Peyton Manning. With his weak arm he throws a very catchable ball(though amazingly WRs did drop it) and he leads the WR perfectly. But his size means late round look and probably from the Saints or Pats type offenses... i.e. spread em out and look for a mismatch or coverage hole.
Outside of Coples I didn't see anyone who screamed top 10 pick.
The biggest winners on Senior Bowl day may very well be the juniors.
All in all one of the more lackluster games. I did lots of rewinding but almost never due to any excitement. Very few real stand out plays by anyone. A couple decent looking WR plays were probably penalties at the NFL level for pushing off.
