President, Draft Countdown

Every year there are players who boost their stock during the Senior Bowl week and make themselves millions of dollars while there are others who fail to impress and drop a bit.

The following is a real quick look at those prospects.

Please keep in mind that this isn't necessarily a list of the best players who participated, but rather a list of the prospects who saw the greatest fluctuation in their draft stock.



  1. Brandon Weeden, QB, Oklahoma St.
     - Best passer in Mobile by far and may not battle to be the #3 quarterback.
  2. Bobby Wagner, LB, Utah St.
     - Tackling machine had good week of practices and was great on gameday.
  3. Marvin Jones, WR, California
     - Afterthought who looked super smooth and made big play after big play.
  4. Mike Adams, OT, Ohio St.
     - Played up to immense talent level and looked like a high first round pick.
  5. Kendall Reyes, DT, Connecticut
     - As quick and athletic as promised but was also stronger than expected.
  6. Courtney Upshaw, OLB / DE, Alabama
     - Worked at DE and proved he could excel with hand down in even front.
  7. Doug Martin, RB, Boise St.
     - Not flashy but showcased the well-rounded game that is his calling card.
  8. Chris Rainey, RB / WR, Florida
     - Looked better at WR than RB, but proved to be an explosive playmaker.
  9. Juron Criner, WR, Arizona
     - Began rehabilitating stock by outplaying a number of similar wideouts.
10. Demario Davis, OLB, Arkansas St.
     - Opened a lot of eyes with athleticism, work ethic and desire to improve.


 

  1. Nick Foles, QB, Arizona
     - Was contending for #4 quarterback ranking but fell behind competitors.
  2. Kellen Moore, QB, Boise St.
     - Lack of size / arm strength was evident and looked like he didn't belong.
  3. Chris Polk, RB, Washington
     - Didn't exhibit any special qualities / traits and failed to distinguish himself.
  4. Will Blackwell, OG, L.S.U.
     - Was routinely man-handled all week long and really looked out of place.
  5. Mike Brewster, C, Ohio St.
     - Struggled to hold ground at point of attack and got pushed back all week.
