Another observation about the Senior Bowl...

The South has Kyle Lauletta, Kurt Benkert, Brandon Silvers, and Mike White...

The North has Baker Mayfield, Josh Allen, Luke Falk, and Tanner Lee...

Isn't Oklahoma slightly further South than Kentucky??? Those South QBs really have a chance to strut...

I always thought that the College Football Mason-Dixon line was more fluid and not as static as this...

JP, to piggyback on your take about maybe finding a RT and moving Ramczyk to LT... I thought I’d throw out two other names scouts are liking at the Senior Bowl:

Brandon Parker, North Carolina A&T; 6’7”, 303 lbs

Brett Toth, Army; 6’5”, 303 lbs

Toth's ceiling is comparable to Kelemete; he'd be a solid R6, R7 pick to replace Kelemete as that utility lineman...

Parker has athleticism, moves well, but we already have that in Mr. Glass; I'd prefer that 16 game Dependable Rock in the lineup...

Another guy we could get with a fifth round depending on his medicals is Iowa's Ike Boettger; former TE playing RT, G...

As usual it has to be "THE KID" Can't Miss with "THE KID"

By the way I live in the middle of Indiana and it's the most "Southern State" I've lived in beating out Alabama and South Carolina by a wide margin!!

Re: 2018 NFL Draft Prospects - Saints

Senior Bowl weigh in results on Baker Mayfield:

6' 3/8 inches tall
216 lbs
9 1/2 inch hands

To put hand size into perspective ...

Joe Flacco (9.63)
Aaron Rodgers (9.38)
Derek Carr (9 1/8)
Andy Dalton (9 1/2)
Michael Vick (8.5) --- > freak athlete
Fig Newton (9 7/8)

Based on Baker's recorded height and hand size ...I'd say he'll be off the board rather quickly.

Siran Neal reminds me of Westbank (Keenan Lewis)...

Shhh ...

Last time Jeff Ireland picked up a stud from a small town college program it was DeMarcus Ware . And yes, Siran's name was called a few times in the upset win vs LSU in Baton Rouge last season.

His scouting report states he can play in the nickel, corner & near the LOS. Sounds like a younger, cheaper KVacarro to me .

Decisions, decisions.

Well, Siran Neal is officially outta the bag at the Senior Bowl - another highlight and some spotlight was thrown his way...


Now, I'm thinking he's gone no later than the late third, early fourth round...

Re: 2018 NFL Draft Prospects - Saints

What’s your guys take on UCF LB Shaquem Griffin? I don’t think I’ve seen him talked about here. His athleticism, instincts and intensity are elite. If not for only having one hand he would be right up there with Roquan Smith as a top LB in this draft.

He’s really only suited to be a weak side LB due to his size and some difficulty getting off blocks but would you take a flier on him in the later rounds?
