10 Senior Bowl Winners

I think Edoga is the one who impressed me the most. Didn't really know much about him before the week, but he might have even better feet than Dillard. Very interested to see what his combine looks like. 

Interesting thing about Edoga. Played RT at USC. I don't think I saw him at RT once during practices or the game. Kid's a left tackle and the NFL knows it. 

USC is weird like that. I remember they had Matt Kalil playing left tackle and Tyron Smith on the right. Tyron freaking Smith! Guy's the best left tackle in football and has been for six years.

I'm a huge Risner supporter.  Good for him and just exemplifies his performance over his KSU career.  Hopefully the Vikings will add him to help bolster the line.


But this is a guy I hope we consider if he's around in the middle of the draft, but who would know at this point where he falls.

8. Hunter Renfrow, WR, ClemsonI’m not entirely sure where to value Renfrow, but I know I’m not going to doubt him any longer. Dude uncovers as consistently as anyone else in the league, has sticky hands despite their poor size, and plays with a great, hungry mentality. Will he be the guy who we look back on and wonder why we second-guessed him?

I think if the Vikings take Risner then O'Neill goes to left tackle and Reiff becomes expendable. Hopefully they can trade him. 

There is a lot of chatter about Risner sliding inside to guard but as the draftnetwork correctly pointed out, the coaches at the Senior Bowl did not even give him any snaps at guard.
I think looking at this draft has to be done with an eye towards 2020.  They could take Risner or Dillard in the 1st round and keep Reiff one more year.  This would mean another 1st round pick rides the pine his first season.  Not a bad plan actually.
Only problem is that they would then have to be super aggressive getting a couple of guards somehow.  Use the two of the next 3 picks to get the guards and even trade future picks to move up if necessary.

Dalton Risner - T - WildcatsThe Reese's Senior Bowl's Jim Nagy said Kansas State OL Dalton Risner "will be a longtime starter and team leader at the next level."
Risner (6'5/308) impressed in his interviews and carried himself in a way that caught the eye of Nagy and other NFL minds, including Broncos GM John Elway. Risner was under careful watch during the Senior Bowl as he was showcasing his ability at tackle when some believe his future is on the interior. During his collegiate career, Risner played both, which certainly helps his chances of becoming an NFL starter. Consider him to be on the Day 2/3 borderline.Source: Jim Nagy on Twitter Jan 27 - 9:38 PM

Jawaan Taylor - T - GatorsThe Draft Network's Kyle Crabbs says it's "hard to imagine" a scenario where Florida T Jawaan Taylor falls past the No. 23 overall pick.
The Houston Texans, who are in desperate need of offensive lineman, hold the 23rd pick in the first round, so Crabbs is calling that Taylor's floor. Taylor (6'5/328) has impressed with his combination of strong hands and movement, which is a great combo to have at 328 pounds. After declaring for the 2019 NFL Draft, Taylor has done nothing but helped his draft stock, and he is well on his way to being a first-round selection.Source: The Draft Network

7th rounder my ass. On a related note, I'm beginning to question how much you can trust Tony Pauline. He's the guy who said that "scouts" told him they had Risner graded as a 7th rounder. What scouts? How many? And when? 

I'm always dubious about players scouts are emphatic about, even if it's just one. David Yankee comes to mind: "I must not know what the heck I'm doing. He's one of the most disappointing guys I saw. I see that guy get pushed around, then he ran 5.5 at the combine. You've got to be kidding me. Free agent." A lot of scouts were wrong about Yankee. THAT scout was right. 

Regarding Risner, he's played all five positions, then goes to the Senior Bowl and stands out against very good, day one and two talent. He may not be the best OL in the draft (as PFF has said), but he's no 7th rounder.

yeah they better put him inside, of course there are multiple incidences of holding against both teams on every play that doesnt get called so theres that

As to Yankey, i thought he was day 1 or 2 pick even after i saw him run at the combine.  that shows how biased we get watching highlights, cause his combine 40 looked like trying to roll a rubics cube down a bowling lane

Yeah.  Risner is stout.  I think he's a Day 2 Pick.

A few guys that stood out to me but weren't on that list:

LJ Collier DL - TCU 
This guy is athletic with a naturally-powerful base.  He will test well too.  He dominated one-on-ones a high percentage of the time.  I know comps to existing players are lazy, but I'll go with Michael Bennet.

Khalen Saunders DL - W Illinois
6'-3" 320 lbs with real power.  This kid can explode and shows good twitch and body control.  He's a bit like Jaleel Johnson.  I don't see him going to The Vikes, but I do see him as a late 2 early 3 pick.

Tytus Howard RT - Alabama St
This guy just impressed me right away with his light feet and ability to step into proper position.  He has a ways to go in terms of conditioning his body, but you can see the traits - the stereotypical dancing bear.  He's a nice-looking developmental prospect with plus size.
