That's a list of the weigh-ins. I saw it a couple minutes ago, and they only had the QB's listed so far.

For those interested (I know some people before were arguing about Tebow's weight), Tebow measured at 6'2 3/4" and 236 pounds, according to that link.

Also, according to rotoworld, Terrence Cody measured in at 6'4", 370 pounds and 11.25" hands. Taylor Mays came in at 6'3", 230 pounds.

I knew Tebow would be below 240...

Cody coming in at 370 is going to hurt him, he better show some agility in drills.

If he's still 370 come the combine or proday he won't be going in the top 10. That's going to hurt him a lot.

Tebow coming in under 6'3" and 240 doesn't surprise me

Rotoworld just listed Mardy Gilyard as 5'11 1/2" and 179 pounds. That's pretty dang light.

Also according to rotoworld:

Anthony Dixon measured in at 6'1", 245 lbs., and it's apparently not much fat.

Mike Iupati: 6'5", 325 lbs., 35" arms and 10 3/8" hands.

EDIT: Brandon Graham came in at 6'1", 263 lbs. with 30.5" arms.

Never mind, maybe instead of parroting all of the blurbs from rotoworld, you can read for yourself:

If Dixon is pure muscle as is being widely reported at 245, and can run a sub 4.55 he will become a top 3 RB prospect. Not many people saw him down at Starkville, but this kid is a tough as nails runner, who legs never stop.

Graham came in heavier than I thought.

I like Dixon. But he seems to be more of a N-S runner, and may not run that fast. He reminds me of Najeh Davenport.

They only have a total of 6 OT's? And one of them, Chris Scott, will probably play at G.

Lots of good T's to watch. Capers, Beadles, Black top my favorites... Sam Young is 6' 7"!

That's exactly what a RB should be N-S only, not E-W.

His 40 time will determine a lot for him, I agree. I dont see Davenport, I see Jamal Lewis potential.

DD Monday Afternoon: South practice:

Conditions at Fairhope were pleasant: mid-60's, sunny, stiff breeze from the west. As the offense was installing and inconsistent, the biggest crowd reaction of the day was when Alabama HC Nick Saban arrived. Saban graciously signed autographs for the kids.
Offense:

Ole Miss RB #22 Dexter McCluster played like a star today. He exploded through the line and was able to exploit tiny holes for big gains. Easy to imagine him doing the same at the next level.

Oklahoma State QB #10 Zac Robinson was a smooth operator, throwing timely and tight sprials. Robinson was able to connect with UAB WR #5 Joe Webb on the deepest pass of the session.

Florida QB #15 Tim Tebow had an up-and-down session. Pro: play-action fake leading to connection with Ole Miss WR #3 Shay Hodge during 9-on-7's. Cons: trouble with center exchange, a long windup and inaccuracy.

Tulane WR #20 Jeremy Williams made outstanding catches on a several tough balls.

Mississippi State RB #24 Anthony Dixon excelled in both running and blocking. He dominated the blitz pick-up drill and was a thumper as a lead blocker.

Southern California RB #13 Stefon Johnson displayed good vision and cut-back, but was a little tentative, which is understandable.

Ole Miss OT #77 John Jerry received tons of attention from the Dolphins coaching staff. His appeal to power-running teams is apparent.

Southern California OC #53 Jeff Byers was a technician in drills, displaying top footwork. Defenders were seen cutting back in line to find more favorable matchups in "The Pit."

Arkansas OL #66 Mitch Petrus was a go-getter; he had quick feet and a nose for contact.

Operating at right guard, Baylor OL J.D. Walton opened up big holes during 9-on-7 drills.
Defense:

Alabama DT #62 Terrence Cody was an immovable object at the point of attack. Cody didn't push the pocket but will not give ground. In better shape he has unique potential.

South Florida DE #95 George Selvie couldn't be handled by the South tackles. Selvie displayed the first step and balance required of N.F.L. ends. Selvie made an impact in both run and pass situations.

Auburn DE #52 Antonio Coleman also was a menace in pass rush drills, displaying good hand fighting and aggression.

Florida State DB #23 Patrick Robinson is sticky in bump-and-run and had several pass break-ups.

Alabama DB #28 Javier Arenas displayed polished ball skills and exceptional awareness.

Interceptions were recorded by South Florida DB Nate Allen and Oklahoma State cornerback Perrish Cox. Cox's play was pretty; he read the route and broke on the ball with urgency.

Florida State LB #36 Dakota Watson isn't the biggest but he can lay the wood. Recorded the most violent hit of the session.

Troy DE #90 Brandon Lang and East Carolina DE #93 C.J. Wilson both won battles using superior leverage and drive. Lang was also stout defeating trap blocks.

Southern California DB #21 Taylor Mays is a rare bird: a linebacker who runs like a defensive back. He was not tested by the South QB's.
***

DD Monday Morning: Weigh-in notes:

As a group the players continue to get in better shape from year-to-year. This year there were far more impressive players than unimpressive ones.
Heaviest & Largest Hands: Terrance Cody, Alabama: 370, 11 1/4".
Tallest: Sam Young, Notre Dame: 6'7" & 1/2.
Longest Arms: Mike Iupati, Idaho: 35".

10 Players that may have helped their stock:

DB Taylor Mays, USC: 6'3" 235: Perfect physical specimen.

TE Jimmy Graham, Miami: 6'6" 259: 6'8" might have been too tall.

TE Anthony McCoy, USC: 6'4" 249: Gained 2" from listed height.

DL Alex Carrington, Arkansas St: 6'5" 284, 10 1/2" hands: Solid frame.

DB Kyle Wilson, Boise St: 5'10" 190: Built for speed.

LB Sean Weatherspoon Missouri: 6'0" 241: On the verge of a big week?

WR Shay Hodge, Ole Miss: 6'1" 208: Lean and cut.

LB Donald Butler, Washington: 6'1" 244: Stocky but strong.

RB Roy Upchurch, Alabama: 5'11", 210: Looked in top shape.

DB Chris Cook, Virginia: 6'1" 212: Well-conditioned.


5 Players that may have hurt their stock:

DT Terrence Cody, Alabama: 6'4", 370: Sloppy, will have to turn it around by combine.

OT Ciron Black, LSU: 6'4" 331: Could have been in better shape.

DT Jeff Owens, Georgia: 6'1" 304: Undersized, sloppy.

QB Tim Tebow, Florida: 6'2 1/2" 236: Average appearance, a little short.

LB Antonio Coleman, Auburn: Good shape but lost 1.5" on listed height.

DD.comment: In years past there were players who did not impress at the weigh-ins but played great between the lines; it is realistic to expect that type of performance from these 5 players. Off to Fairhope and South practice this afternoon.

Thanks for posting all those reports!

Not many mentions of the defensive guys in them, which is a bit disappointing.

I'm not a big fan of Matt McGuire. He actually posted some a year or two back on the bb.com MB's. Far too intransigent when it comes to liking or not liking prospects. He seems to go into these practices fairly biased for or against certain players, and then he only sees what he wants to see. It's pretty obvious on some players, when he has glowing analysis of someone that everyone else was relatively down on (e.g. Gilyard), or doesn't like someone that everyone else is impressed with (e.g. Taylor Price). McGuire just tends to rub me the wrong way. I know "draft experts" are supposed to be confident in their opinions, but this guy takes it way too far imo.

Dan Lefevour is a guy that I like more and more as I continue to read about him. What round is he expected to go in? If he's there in round 3, I wouldn't mind picking him up.

Day 2:


DD Tuesday Afternoon: South Practice:

The fans were out in full force to cheer on their local heroes, and it made for a great atmosphere in the stadium.
Offense:

West Virginia quarterback #16 Jarrett Brown has the livest arm in town, throwing a crisp spiral. If he can improve his accuracy, he has potential.

Ole Miss running back #22 Dexter McCluster continued to impress; his sharp route running, explosion, and acceleration all adds up to a game-breaking threat.

Southern California running back #13 Stefon Johnson was polished as a receiver, making sharp cuts. When running the ball, his vision, cut-back ability, and power are all excellent.

Auburn running back #44 Ben Tate is a tough runner but has the speed to turn the corner.

Kentucky fullback #32 John Conner was a new addition to the roster, and introduced himself to the South linebackers with violent blocking.

Citadel wide receiver #7 Andre Roberts has reliable hands; Roberts has not dropped a ball all week, and has potential as a slot receiver.

Alabama tight end #84 Colin Peek had several nice catches on seam routes. Peek is also an effective blocker and looking like a complete tight end.

West Virginia offensive tackle #69 Selvish Capers was powerful in run blocking but raw in pass protection. Capers has much to learn but also the tools to improve.

LSU offensive tackle #70 Ciron Black had a better day today than yesterday, and was able to protect the passer. Black still was a step slow at times.
Defense:

Georgia defensive tackle #56 Geno Atkins flashed; good hand-play splitting the double team and dominated rushing the passer.

Tennessee defensive tackle #55 Dan Williams played with a high motor and a low center of gravity. He is a solid run stuffer but doesn't offer much rush.

Texas defensive tackle #33 Lamarr Houston was active in run defense, pursuing down the line and getting off blocks with ease. The 4-3 system the coaches run at the game fits his style.

Auburn defensive end #52 Antonio Coleman was chippy and aggressive. Coleman can get overwhelmed at point of attack but showed up big-time in pass rush situations.

Texas linebacker #38 Roddrick Muckelroy has quick feet and can cover backs and ends with ease: possible nickel backer.

Kentucky cornerback #32 Trevard Lindley was athletic and showed he can run. Lindley needs to add weight to his frame without losing speed to become a complete prospect.

South Florida cornerback #5 Nate Allen was aggressive jamming the receivers and looks natural in man coverage.

Florida State safety #4 Myron Rolle looked free of rust from his year away from the game. Rolle can change directions with ease and deliver big hits.
Specials:

East Carolina punter Matt Dodge had several booming attempts, with hang time in the 4.5 to 5 second range. However he also had his share of shanks and wasn't consistant.
***

Youngstown State wide reciever Donald Jones is reportedly being added to the game for Wednesday practice sessions.
***

Florida quarterback Tim Tebow reportedly is battling a severe fever and strep throat while in Mobile.

Related link: Tebow was reportedly hospitalized Monday evening.
***

DD Tuesday Morning: North Practice:

Sun was shining, and favorable weather continued for this morning's practice at Ladd-Peebles Stadium.

San Jose State defensive end #94 Justin Cole replaced injured Wisconsin defensive end O'Brien Schofield on the roster. Cole spent more time working with the linebackers then with the ends.
Offense:

Central Washington quarterback #13 Dan Lefevour threw a catchable ball and was the most effective of the North signal callers.

Wayne State running back #25 Joique Bell hit the hole with authority and had several long gains. Bell is raising his profile.

Oregon running back #9 Legarrette Blount ran tough and often delivered the blow to the defenders.

Virginia running back #31 Rashawn Jackson was active in blitz pickup and ready to hit.

Ohio wide receiver #23 Taylor Price shows great football speed and can provide legit deep threat.

Clemson wide receiver #8 Jacoby Ford had an excellent diving catch and was a popular target. Ford and Cincinnati wide receiver #1 Marty Gilyard worked at punt returner.

Wisconsin tight end #89 Garrett Graham and Oregon tight end #83 Ed Dickson were reliable targets with good hands and yard after catch ability. Dickson is a natural end, but at 234, Graham might be an h-back type unless he gains weight.

Idaho guard #77 Mike Iupati dominated opposing pass rushers and had at least 2 pancake blocks. Showed rare foot speed and can recover if off balance.

Arizona State guard #67 Shawn Lauvao displayed top technique: good hands, feet and base. Less than ideal size but a player.

Boston College center #65 Matt Tennant was a brawler inside, with good pop. Tennant did not give up much to the defenders.
Defense:

Arkansas State defensive end #96 Alex Carrington impressed in the Pit, with bull and swim moves. Carrington has a rare size speed combo and teams have noticed.

Michigan defensive end #55 Brandon Graham put on a clinic; makes rushing the passer look easy.

Murray State defensive end #97 Austen Lane showed a quick first step and was often able to penetrate upfield.

Cal defensive end #44 Tyson Alualu was smart, saavy and had a high motor. Like Graham, he can also make plays despite less than ideal height.

Penn State defensive tackle #91 Jared Odrick had an up-and-down session. Odrick can blow up the play one down, and be on the ground the next.

Washington linebacker #9 Donald Butler was aggressive and quick; He penetrated on running downs and covered well on backs and tight ends. TCU linebacker #41 Daryl Washington was also sticky in coverage.

Due to inconsistant quarterback play, it was difficult to scout the wide receivers and defensive backs. Still, Rutgers cornerback #21 Devin McCourty and Boise State #1 Kyle Wilson got in and out of breaks well. McCourty had a nice deflection in drills.

If Dixon is pure muscle as is being widely reported at 245, and can run a sub 4.55 he will become a top 3 RB prospect. Not many people saw him down at Starkville, but this kid is a tough as nails runner, who legs never stop.

Graham came in heavier than I thought.

He's a baller and is tearing it up at the Senior Bowl.
I'm seeing where he might be a 2nd rder now. I was thinking a 4-5th during the year watching him but he is mvoing up the draft board. As much as I like the guy the Bills can't be using a top-3 pick on him though with all their other needs. Just hope he doesn't end up in the AFCE.

DD Wednesday Morning: North Practice:

Temperatures were a little cooler today in Mobile, but still beautiful weather for the North's morning practice. It was relatively quiet in the stands, as the North roster doesn't draw huge crowds. Still the players were hitting hard and trying their best to impress the N.F.L. personnel watching.

Offense:

Fresno State running back #10 Lonyae Miller showed the speed to turn the corner on toss plays and was elusive once through the first level.

Wisconsin tight end #89 Garrett Graham continued to make plays; Graham endured a huge hit from Nebraska defensive back #27 Larry Asante, but it was Asante who ended up on the ground as Graham took it to the house.

Ohio wide reciever #23 Taylor Price climbed the ladder for a high ball and has been impressing many evaluators here with his speed and hands.

UMass offensive lineman #70 Vlad Ducasse is strong but raw and can be exploited at tackle. But as a guard there is alot to like about this player.

Vanderbilt offensive lineman #75 Matt Welch was a welcome addition to the tackle-starved North squad. He showed adequate footwork and strong handplay.

Defense:

Arkansas State defensive end #96 Alex Carrington was dominant again in the Pit, running over blockers with violence. There might not be a limit how high his stock can rise.

Penn State defensive tackle #91 Jared Odrick had a great day, exploding through the line. His talent cannot be questioned, but he needs to work on being consistant.

North Carolina defensive tackle #95 Cam Thomas is a high-motor plugger inside, and can also push the pocket. Teams are looking him as a nose tackle.

Utah linebacker #40 Koa Misi displayed quick feet and change of direction ability. He lost his footing at times, but could contribute to several defensive systems.

Virginia defensive #2 Chris Cook showed good hip-flip and coverage skills. Cook recorded an interception in 11-on-11's. He has rare size and could play corner or safety.

Cal defensive back #5 Syd'quan Thompson is another player with great change of direction. He covers ground quickly.

Boise State defensive back #1 Kyle Wilson brutalized new receiver #85 Donald Jones with a jam that put him down. Jones bounced back later with a nice grab in team drills.

These reports sure are all over the map in evaluating the QB's. I've noticed that some guys will report that a guy had a horrible practice, then the next will list some good things that he did and not mention any bad things. Strange.

This quote from Matt McGuire explains a lot:


The most consistent quarterback of the week for me was West Virginia's Jarrett Brown, whom I was not a fan of before this week, but I'm still not very high now

A few guys that are impressing me early:

Ciron Black
Dan Williams
Perrish Cox
Anthony McCoy

Unimpressive

Tebow
Pike
Cody

I'm not sure if I'd say he is as good as Percy, he almost reminds me of a player like Roscoe except he is actually physical and can absorb hits much better. I do agree with you that he is a football player, I would love to have him in Buffalo.

Few Notes:

Daryl Sharpton missing open field tackle
Brandon Graham, and Alex Carrington is abusing the South OT's
Ciron Black and Vladimir Ducasse are the best OT's so far
Sam Young and Chris Scott have been brutally bad
Geno Atkins showed great penetration
Taylor Mays still doesnt know how to hit and wrap up a player
Mike Iupati is a having a very inconsistent day, Ive counted 5 times he should of been flagged for flagrant holding calls.

I thought the same thing about Iupati DB, you can't tell me he is a better prospect than Wood coming out, I'm not sure why people are rating him as a top 15 prospect.

Nice throw by Zack Robinson, but it's unfortunate he fumbled the play after.

How did Odrick do? I got to see one series, then had company.

I saw on the one series, on the first play he knifed in to force the ball carrier outside, but didn't make the tackle. The rest of the drive he kind of disappeared though.

He shows nastiness and toughness, but at times he couldn't push the pile. I dont think he could be a feature NT, probably more like a 5 technique.

According to some PSU fans (on another board), he was double-teamed a lot and sometimes triple-teamed. They also said he may have caused one of Tebow's fumbles.

I agree, I don't think he could be a feature NT, but he could probably play the 3-tech or the 5-tech.
