DaBoys Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Five stars from Day 1 of Senior Bowl practice DJ Dale, DT, Alabama Coming into this week, I had Dale pegged as a solid backup who could contribute as part of a defensive line rotation. After the first practice here in Mobile, Dale is making a case that he can play a bigger role at the next level. He constantly challenged interior offensive linemen with great leverage and penetration. Dawand Jones, OT, Ohio State Jones is the biggest and longest prospect at the Senior Bowl (6-foot-8, 375 pounds). He looked like a mountain of a man on the practice field Tuesday. I have some concerns about the way Jones redirects his weight and keeps his balance against movement up front, but he had a rock-solid performance in his first practice of the week. In both his run-blocking and pass-protection reps, he was effective in using his frame against opponents. The former Buckeye was able to envelop and halt his challengers more times than not. Luke Musgrave, TE, Oregon State There’s a reason coaches, scouts and personnel executives from across the league flock to Mobile each year at this time -- they want to get a chance to see some of this year’s top prospects in person. Game film doesn’t always do proper justice to a prospect’s size and physical attributes. The up-close perspective can have a huge impact on the evaluations of NFL decision-makers. Musgrave was already considered one of the better tight ends in a strong class at the position this year, but I came away even more impressed after getting a chance to see him in person for the first time on Tuesday. He has a well-proportioned 255-pound frame that made him stand out from the rest of the players in his Senior Bowl position group. He's coming back from a knee injury that limited him to two games last season and was cleared to run routes just a few weeks ago, but you would never know it based on the way he buzzed around the field in Mobile. Puka Nacua, WR, BYU Nacua found ways to get open and flashed top-notch ball skills to bring in challenging catches on a couple of different occasions. On tape, his hands and ability to make the tough grab stood out, but his separation quickness wasn't always the best. On Tuesday, he was open and he was productive. John Michael Schmitz, C, Minnesota Schmitz came into the week with a chance to challenge for the title of top center in the draft. He might leave Mobile with that title and put himself squarely in the conversation for Round 1. He impressed me the most of all the prospects I was able to see on Tuesday. Schmitz showed off plenty of core strength and leverage to battle against stronger players. He might be more than just a zone-scheme center -- the ability to play in multiple schemes would elevate his draft stock. https://www.nfl.com/_amp/2023-senior-bowl-day-1-standouts-byu-wr-puka-nacua-impresses-center-rising-into- Tennessee OT Darnell Wright: His strength and mentality stood out Tuesday, and he feels more like a first-rounder than not. • Stanford WR Michael Wilson: The 6-foot-2, 210-pound receiver played in just 14 games over the past three seasons due to injury but flashed his top-class understanding and execution of route running on Day 1. • Ohio State OT Dawand Jones: As you would expect for a player of his size, footwork can sometimes be an issue, but that size and length (almost a 90-inch wingspan) was too much for every defender he faced Tuesday. https://www.pff.com/news/draft-2023-senior-bowl-practice-recap-day-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
