2013 Senior Bowl Players

E.J. Manuel QB Florida State
6043 227 10.1 35
Mon: Had the best arm of any quarterback in attendance. Shows great speed and power on his passes. Got the ball through the tight spots and made some brilliant NFL passes. On the other hand sprayed a lot of throws. Incredible upside but needs a lot of work.

He's 6'4" 237, that's excellent size and a pro arm. A project, but plenty of ability.

"2013 Senior Bowl, Monday practice: Manuel is the wild card, not just on the South roster but in this draft. He's not a polished talent by any means -- a noticeable hitch in his delivery is an example -- but it's obvious he has the build and athleticism to make NFL coaches drool. Manuel has proven his ability to work in a read-option offense, among others, and that paired with his physical traits could really help his draft resume. "NFL teams are all going to like what they see from him because he's got the really good mix of a skill set plus he's got a great background and [played in a] really good system," Linehan said."

He's currently around a 4-5th round prospect. Might be the type of flier you can take on a QB. If we could get a draft pick in that range via a trade I would consider using a choice on him. Not saying he's my guy or anything, but he's a QB you may be able to take a shot on with little downside. His physical grades may bump him up putting out of this range in which case I'd avoid him, but if he stay in a reasonable range, I'd think about it.

As an aside, I still think I like Landry Jones better as a mid/low round prospect. I know he struggles with accuracy, but I think he has legit potential.

2. Most physical shorts and shells practice we've seen for North team. HC Dennis Allen taking advantage & firing things up. #Raiders

Nice job coach!

Another player that stood out to me was Cal Center Brian Schwenke he looks like a nasty SOB and I like that. Projected 4th rounder.

I love watching him block he's a beast maybe a good 3rd rounder

Considering Barrett Jones' lisfranc surgery and how Khaled Holmes got manhandled by Lotulelei, Schwenke is looking better and better...good for him in a weak Center class.

If jones got a lisfranc injury he could drop to the 3rd, I would like either in the 3rd as a mauler RG!

Jones and Schwenke will both play C in the NFL, and neither is a mauler.

Hopefully there will be more today.

Ok- Top 10 Thoughts From @SeniorBowl Day 2- First in Full Pads.

1. The tone has been set for a ridiculous Senior Bowl. Practices have been much more physical. Under Savage, many things have changed.

2. #Raiders Coach Dennis Allen patrols the field like a General while #Lions coach Jim Schwartz gets all up in drills.

3. Desmond Trufant is just a special, special player/competitor.

4. It's probably OK to pencil Eric Fisher in as a Top 15 pick for now.

5. John Jenkins is just a huge nightmare to face right now. Big Motor day, finished big in drills. He is hustling his ass off.

6. Arthur Brown gets credit for taking mental reps and being here.

7. Calling the Senior Bowl medical staff conservative is conservative.

8. South RBs Taylor and Gillislee both better between tackles than expected.

9. QBs -- Door is still wide open for somebody to distinguish themselves. They are all very interesting prospects w/ their own ups and downs

10. Our MVP of the day - @j_cyprien (Jonathan Cyprien) S #FIU - Leader, plays physical. Completely behind his teammates. A straight baller.

Fisher and Quessenberry beast out.
