Senior Bowl: Risers and Fallers

[T-Long]

Now that the Senior Bowl is in the books after a dominating performance from the North team, as they defeated the South 23-13. The score, however, is irrelevant. What matters is how the individuals performed in front of hundreds of scouts, general managers, and team officials. After watching it live and then studying the film, there were a few names that stood out to me and have raised their stock, while others plummeted and will need a great showing at the NFL combine to win my confidence back. Let's take a look at a handful of these risers and fallers from Mobile.

Curry is a DE out of Marshall....had two sacks in the game.

Re: Senior Bowl: Risers and Fallers

The main knock on Curry has been level of competition. A strong showing in the Senior Bowl helps counter that.

I need more on this guy because I just watched him dominate a Fresno State LT and Ohio states LT and RT. I actually after seeing him play (his highlights and lowlights), i like him alot especially if Upshaw continues to struggle.

One game doesn't a great player make, sorry to see that we are reviewing the bottom of the bin to make another choice to keep us near the 10th draft pick.

Of course, some good players have come out of Marshall. However since they don't play as tough a schedule as say an SEC school, there's always going to be a bit of hesitance to draft players from smaller football programs like Marshall unless you have a chance to see them perform against players from larger schools. The Senior Bowl affords them that chance. I like Curry in the second round, but he might get drafted late in the first.

as have Randy Moss and Ahmad Bradshaw of course there are also a few not so greats and average players. Yet you could say that about most schoools whether big or small.

Marshall was Moss' third school.
Was kicked out of Notre Dame and Florida St.

I watched Pead throughout his UCinn tenure, and have been an advocate for some time. He's new to punt returning - had a few in the Liberty Bowl vs. Vandy.

Good vision, cut-back. Good speed. Fine hands - and - he's a very good blocker in the backfield. B'gals certainly have an eye on him.

Here's a rah-rah highlight video:

Aye. I'd actually be pretty pumped if they went Coples - Curry 1 and 2. LE and RE addressed early, then look QB and OLB.
