Senior Bowl Week - Who's there and who are we looking at?

[tryfuhl]

Apparently we have Scott Campbell there as well as most of the coaching staff

Haven't seen a lot mentioned about specific players but this following article mentions CB Syd'Quan Thompson from SC ... Thompson is expected to go by the 3rd round

I'm actually looking at a lot of the players at the senior bowl, specifically Terrance Cody, as well as LeFeavour, Robinson, Tebow, and Pike. I'm also looking at guys that can return punts and/or kicks. Javier Arenas and Mardy Gilyard come to mind. I'm hearing that Riley Cooper is catching everything and should be a great 3rd receiver in the NFL. I've like Iupati since I starting hearing about him come this past september and after seeing this video YouTube - Mike Iupati #77 UI vs USC of him laying the smack down on Maualuga. The problem now is that every scout loves him and knows that he is hands down the best guard in the draft, rumors now are the packers may get him in the first round. Vlad Duccassee is another prospect I want to see, because he comes from the FBS and can play RT or Guard. I'm actually keeping an eye on pretty much all the Olineman

Matt Tennant, C, Boston College
Tennant may be a bit undersized but he has a very competive side to him and the balance to win. He reminds me of former B.C. center Tom Nalen, who came to the Senior Bowl and impressed coaches the same way Tennant is doing. He handled the nose tackles he went against on Monday and came back again Tuesday with another solid practice. Tennant will be a key guy in a draft class very weak at the center position.

This could definitley be a guy we get, Tom Nalen was Shanahans pro bowl center for many years and many pro bowls

Thompson is from UC berkeley and is a great CB.

^ Great zone corner they say...do our corners play mostly zone or man or both

These are the ten Redskins.com says to look at!

It seems interesting that 3 of the 10 are OL.

Andre roberts from the citadel!

Dexter McCluster looks like a great replacement for Randel El if we can get him later.

Pike for QB? Better than Bradford...why? Cheaper, later pick with less injury history.

LOVE that we're looking at a new Center. Rabach needs to go, at least to the bench if not out of town.

Iupati...YES. Maybe we can trade down and pick up another pick or two and still take this guy in the first.

Kicker? If we take him in the 7th. No more wasted kicker/punter picks before the final pick.

I'm a huge fan of Mike Iupati and want him to become a skin. He is big, nasty and would bring a toughness to our line that we haven't seen since the Hogs. I have suggested in other threads that the Skins should target SF two first rounders as candidate to trade down with.

My dream scenario is this:

Trade SF the 4th pick and Jason Campbell for their 2 first rounders and a third rounder. They do need a QB and a Safety. This move would give them a starting QB and a chance to draft Eric Berry. We use the 13th to draft the best OT available and the 17th pick on Iupati. In the second round we draft QB Colt McCoy or another QB that would warrent a high second rounder. 3rd round pick up Dexter McCluster of Ole Miss. 4th round pick up Matt Tenant Center of Boston College. 5th pick up LaMarcus Coker of Hampton or LeGarrette Blount if he falls this far or another player that fit our needs.

If we do these things and target the best Lineman in the free agent market, resign Levi Jones and grab a Vet QB to compete with the rookie, I think we can win next season.

I'm looking at the cheerleaders.

I doubt we'll land Iupati...I bet he goes late first round...and I don't see that JC to SF scenario panning out...no way that SF will give up 2 first rounders for a average QB.

The leverage that I am basing this trade on is the willingness of the 49ers to trade up to get a top 4 pick player like Berry not Jason Campbell alone. I think that this trade is more realistic than many average fans think.

[GTripp0012]

I think, that when it's said and done, we'll probably land Tennant in the 4th round. And he will start for us on opening day.

^ I hope so, I am tired of seeing campbell on his back because Rabach blew his assignment.

I'm a Mizzou fan, so I've watched Sean Weatherspoon throughout his college career. He is a tackling machine. He is an outstanding inside linebacker with speed to play on the outside. He would pair well with London Fletcher on the inside in a 3-4 scheme. Picking him up in the mid to late rounds would be a great pickup.
