Here’s some guys that I hear have looked great in practice so far who aren’t the big names:

TE Ian Thomas, Indiana; 6’ 3”, 256 lbs
TE Durham Smythe, Notre Dame; 6’ 5”, 253 lbs
C Mason Cole, Michigan; 6’ 4”, 303 lbs
OL Austin Corbett, Nevada; 6’ 4”, 310 lbs
LB Fred Warner, BYU; 6’3”, 235 lbs
S Siran Neal, Jacksonville St; 6’0”, 206 lbs
CB MJ Stewart, North Carolina; 5’10”, 198 lbs

I really liked what draftanalyst.com had to say about LB Fred Warner:

I liked what Warner showed today. He was fast and fluid, quickly got to the spot and covered a lot of area on the field. I also liked the discipline and smarts he showed, making sure his teammates were in the proper position.

"When you get into one of these groups, there's only a couple of ways you can get out. One, is death; the other, is mental institutions."

Kyzir White is having his second dominant day of practice... Looks like hoping our Vaccaro replacement would fall to us at the end of the 3rd round may be a long shot.

Big kid with range. I'll definitely look out for him on Saturday.

I go back to something you said a couple of pages ago about how when evaluating LB’s it’s all about INSTINCTS. A guy doesn’t have to have 4.4 speed if he’s never out of position and can diagnose where the play is going. Fred Warner has my attention!

If they really want to make this thing interesting - NFL Football Steeplechase with the helmet and full pads!!!

Something like a ten yard burst vs dummy out of a two, three or four point stance, go into a 3-cone shuttle ending by tackling a dummy, chase down a rolling fumble for ten yards, then stop and go into a 25 yard sprint catching a ball at the end...

In my sixth round targets group, I listed an OT from Humboldt State named Alex Cappa...

When I read first hand accounts of his play on line, recognized certain words, phrases that jump out at me re: offensive linemen...

Nasty, Bullies Defensive Linemen, man amongst boys, and one of my favorites, neutralized...

Well, after having seen this clip, I may have to move this guy up to at least the fourth round group now...





That's Marcus Davenport that Cappa just tossed like a rag doll...



In case it hasn't been obvious, Terron Armstead aka Mr. Glass is a pusse' and I'm tired of the columns, tweets each season, each game how he braved through injuries...

Look all those guys have braved through injuries; for Pete's sake, Zach Strief looked like he was strapped together with CopperFit™ spare parts each week...

Andrus Peat getting mediocre reviews at LT when he practices at LG all week only to find out he's gonna play LT at or just as a game gets underway...

It's the Byrd Experience all over again

And now that Mr. Glass got his Big Mo, he's a No Show; ship his arse out now and get that second rounder back...

Right Tackles are easier to find than LT; move Ramczyk to LT, let Peat remain at LG; draft a nasty RT...

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

His name has come up quite a bit over the last few days. If Marcus had played at UT in Austin, he'd probably be a household name leading up to the draft. I guess if he is any good, the scouts will find you.
