• Florida St. QB E.J. Manuel was the worst of the three quarterbacks for the South. It seems as though Manuel was trying to showcase his arm strength, which is excellent, but he didn't change speeds much and was basically gunning everything. Manuel clearly has all of the physical tools but may be more of a thrower than passer and will require development but it's easy to love those measurables.
• Florida St. ILB Vince Williams is stiff and a liability in coverage, which may limit him a two-down run thumper role in the pros.
• Florida St. DT Everett Dawkins and South Florida DT Cory Grissom failed to make much of an impact. Dawkins in particular didn't look great in the positional drills which is a concern for a guy who is supposed to compensate for his lack of size with top athleticism. The good news is there is only one direction to go tomorrow.
Hope the lions go DB.

Those who believe that Manuel will be able to take things to the next level point to an NFL that now accepts and develops athletic quarterback prospects, meets them halfway in a playbook sense, and reaps the rewards sooner than later.
It all came together during the Wednesday South team practice, and Manuel looked a cut above fellow quarterbacks Landry Jones and Tyler Wilson. He made several throws across his body with accuracy and velocity, and showed nice touch on a deep seam throw. Add in his ability to run boot action and read option packages, and Manuel starts to look a bit more like the kind of player the right kind of team could build an offense around.
Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Scott Linehan, who is running the offense for the South team this week, has been impressed.
"He's in a good position because he's got a good background," Linehan said this week. "I'm somewhat familiar with some of the things they do with Coach [Jimbo] Fisher from when he was at LSU, and it translates well to the NFL. [Manuel] has got a good background of a really pro-style offense -- the typical stuff that drop-back teams do, and then the spread stuff you see from the kind of new-age football we're seeing right now."
Manuel ran the offense out of a no-huddle about 70 percent of the time by his own estimation last season, and he almost went West to play for Oregon's Chip Kelly, who runs it better than anyone else these days. Catching up with Kelly, who now coaches the Philadelphia Eagles, was a good experience for Manuel.
Our #1 need is and has been DB. Dline??? Mightt as well take a WR at 5. Come on man.
