Tarell Basham/DE-OLB/Ohio: It’s a good thing we didn’t list Basham as a riser at any point last week as the defender continued to get better and better with each practice. The athleticism he displayed was outstanding as Basham was smooth, displayed a quick change of direction and moved with speed to every area of the field. He was terrific rushing the passer out of a three point stance, effective getting to the signal caller standing over tackle and flashed ability playing in space. He’s not the finished product but Basham proved he has the tools to be a Sunday starter.
Eddie Vanderdoes/DT/UCLA: Many were skeptical when Vanderdoes entered the draft but the defensive tackle turned the skepticism to intrigue at the Senior Bowl. Vanderdoes dominated anyone who tired to block him from the get-go and beat opponents with power, quickness and strength. He practiced with proper technique, showed great intensity and constantly disrupted the action.
O.J. Howard/TE/Alabama: Howard was the best of a good group of tight ends throughout all three days of Senior Bowl practice and established himself as a legitimate mid-first round choice. He made difficult one-handed grabs of errant throws, effortlessly snatched deep receptions in stride and caught the ball with proper technique. He tracked and adjusted to under thrown deep balls, used his speed to get open up the seam and looked incredibly athletic. Howard also dominated as a blocker during the one-on-one’s and in scrimmage. There was an occasional drop and a fumble on the final day but overall Howard leaves the Senior Bowl a big winner.
Dan Feeney/OL/Indiana: During weigh-ins on Tuesday you could tell Feeney meant business then he went out and dominated the entire week. Annihilating just about everyone he faced at guard and center, Feeney showed great power, intensity and did not give up an inch to opponents. What was it like facing Feeney this week? Stand five yards away from a brick wall then run into the wall as fast as you can; that’s what opponents were facing. Feeney blocked with proper technique, never ending intensity and looked every part a top 42 pick today.
Haason Reddick/LB/Temple: Reddick provided scouts with a number of “wow!” moments throughout the three days of Senior Bowl practice. He measured taller and bigger than many expected, looked more athletic than he does on film and proved he has three down potential. Reddick was dominant in pass-rushing drills blitzing as a stand-up linebacker or coming out of a three-point stance. As the week progressed he improved his coverage skills and by Thursday he was regularly making plays against the pass. He’s not the tallest linebacker but the combination of smarts, athleticism and intensity displayed by Reddick in Mobile could push him into the draft’s second day.
Cooper Kupp/WR/Eastern Washington: Kupp’s performance during Wednesday’s practice was the best by any receiver this week and while his other two days weren’t as good, he was still productive. He ran good routes, beat defensive backs to the spot and came out of breaks ready to catch the ball. The only real negative to his game was struggles catching passes in traffic, but Kupp showed he could hang at the higher level of competition this week.
