A single Senior Bowl practice does not erase what you see on tape with Leggette. He could have been pressing, he could have had some crap passes thrown his way. Timing, or lack thereof, is an issue with these things in a lot of cases. These drills, like noted by others, are always more favorable for projected Slot WR's. We're looking for a #2 WR, with #1 potential, who also can take the lid off of a defense. He had 7 catches for 77 against one of the best defenses in the country in Georgia. The guy can run like 23 mph, meaning he can take any catch to the house if he gets a lane. Can you imagine what a guy with wheels like that and JA17 could do on those scramble drills? He had 71 catches for 1,255 yards in the SEC with Spencer Rattler as his QB. He's still one of those guys with that potential.

Shrine practice from a couple of days ago…

 

Trying to find a Day 3 edge that might have some upside …

 

Xavier Thomas …  …

 

24 years old though …and has an injury history …

Watching today's 1 on 1's:

  • Tez Walker REALLY struggling. Dropping almost literally every pass so far, telegraphing routes, struggling with press, etc.
  • Javon Baker continuing to do a great job with his releases and created a ton of separation on one of his crossing routes against Kalen King (who was once viewed as a 1st round prospect but I believe he's slid down a lot this season).
  • Brenden Rice doing a much better job off the release today than yesterday but just doesn't have the burst to pull away/maintain separation.
  • Roman Wilson's footwork is really great.
  • Non-WR related: Quinyon Mitchell looks like such a stud covering these guys.

One thing I've made note of, Ricky Pearsall won people over on Day 1 and has looked decent so far today, but the real noteworthy thing is after playing out of the slot on the vast majority of his snaps in college, they have him almost exclusively out wide here.

 

Edit: And he's looked good lined up out wide. Interesting development.

With the struggles of Johnson, and Burke the year prior I suspect he slips to day 2. All a little shorter and I suspect timed slower than initially thought.

Ohio State DT Michael Hall has looked really nice. Currently viewed as a Day 3 pick I think; might be one to keep an eye on.

 

This rep between Roman Wilson and Quinyon Mitchell (Toledo DB that's been dominating everyone). Mitchell slips and allows Wilson to get open easily as a result. Wilson also slips but makes a crazy catch.

Charlie Campbell reported Hall has major character concerns:

Quote

While the practice performance of Senior Bowl players is the most important part of the Senior Bowl process, a close second is how players interview with team evaluators at night. One player who must ace the interviews is Ohio State defensive tackle Michael Hall Jr. Team sources from around the NFL say Hall has a first-round skill set, but he comes with major character concerns. They say Hall has a reputation for being a bad guy, and the character concerns are significant enough that it could knock him out of Round 1 of the 2024 NFL Draft. Hall must interview well with teams at the Senior Bowl, the NFL Scouting Combine, and during pre-draft visits.

McConkey just tears up DBs in one on one’s. He’s one of those guys that I don’t care how he tests. I want him on my team. Matches the tape as well. He’ll prob go round 2 but could be a sneaky late round 1 guy

Likely gone before Bills’ 2nd pick and maybe a little high for him at pick 28.  If guys like Legette and Walker continue to struggle at the Senior Bowl, maybe McConkey will pass them.  McConkey’s size is borderline for outside, I’m less concerned about his speed - he looks fast “enough” on tape.

Up and down first practice for WR Devontez Walker, but he had the fastest field speed so far at 21.18 mph.

That's what I'm talking about.  Tez can fly.

He should be there at the end of Round 2 if we got Dline or Safety in Round 1.

Thrash and Javon Baker are two of the non-1st round wide outs that I have circled based on my spreadsheet and highlights that I want to research more.

So he's more of a slot right? which isn't the big hole on our offense. And yeah it's highlights but man he looks like he might be very good. And this catch is just ridiculous.

DT T'Vondre Sweat is getting rave reviews today. He is likely to go in the 25-45 range. I could see the Bills really liking him as much as fans would hate the pick in R1... Profiles as a monstrous 1T at the next level.

Mentioned him a little ways up I think. He played the vast majority of his snaps in the slot in college, but he's working almost exclusively out wide at the Senior Bowl and has mostly looked good.

He is a guy that’s growing on me … think he can be an early and solid contributor… problem is 28 is too high and I think he is gone by 60 …
