Official 2011 NFL Draft Thead Vol. Lions winning.... Niners losing...

• TCU QB Andy Dalton was not overly impressive. His wind-up and release look a bit funky and coaches were working with him to make some changes, which led to inaccurate balls. Dalton has the zip on shorter passes, but struggles with technique and accuracy toward the sidelines. Dalton profiles as more of a backup.

• Florida State QB Christian Ponder had a solid, but not spectacular day. Ponder had some trouble making reads and would stare down primary receivers in drills. Overall, Ponder’s technique looked fairly sharp, with his deep ball being delivered on time in most cases. Not sure Ponder did enough this week to get back in the top three rounds.

• Alabama QB Greg McElroy continues to play better than many expected. McElroy was very efficient on short and mid-range passes and while his deep ball can leave something to be desired his mechanics are top-notch and he showed nice short-range arm strength by getting the ball there in a hurry.

• Louisville RB Bilal Powell struggled mightily in pass protection when going 1-on-1 against linebackers. On run plays, Powell appeared to stay low, find the hole very well and even breaking a couple of long runs.

• West Virginia RB Noel Devine showed off his speed today. On a stretch play, Devine turned the corner and accelerated past the defense. Devine, is tough than people give him credit for, also showed good hands and great receiving ability. Devine was absent from the pass protection drills for some reason.

• Kentucky RB Derrick Locke is very, very fast. Locke has great acceleration and straight line speed. Locke doesn’t seem to change directions all that well, but some team will love to toss him the ball out of the backfield and just let him go. On the negative side, Locke gave little or no effort in pass protection though.

• Georgia Tech RB Anthony Allen lacked quickness, but made some moves in him. Packed a punch when there was contact. Allen did a terrible job in the pass protection drill and seemed to struggle from I-formation.

• Tulsa FB Charles Clay is a big, strong kid. The question is where do you play him as he has lined up all over the field this week.

• Miami (FL) WR Leonard Hankerson has big, strong hands and snatches balls out of air with natural pass catching abilites. Looks like he was born to play wideout.

• West Virginia WR Jock Sanders, who was added to the roster as an injury replacement, is ridiculously tiny. In fact, Sanders almost looks like a child out on the field.

• Hawaii WR Greg Salas struggled at times today and rounded off some routes. Salas also isn’t very fast or explosive and won’t be a vertical threat at the next level.

• Mississippi State OT Derek Sherrod had a volatile day. In his matchup with Von Miller in “The Pit,

And I disagree with Cutler, his accuracy does wander at times due to his back foot throws.
 
Washington's Jake Locker, on the other hand, is coming to the end of his Senior Bowl week pretty much as he came in -- as a quarterback with nonpareil physical ability and highly questionable decision-making ability and accuracy. He sold a beautiful hard play fake on one goal-line play, and then overthrew Boise State speedster Titus Young in the end zone. He later had a nice quick throw to Young that the receiver dropped -- it was that king of day for Locker. He tried to hit San Diego State's Vincent Brown on a quick out, but overthrew the easy pass. When he rolled out of the pocket and ran, he blazed past the linebackers trying to chase him, but in rolling out looking to make a quick pass from the red zone, he couldn't throw into the tight window and just threw it away instead. There's a lot to work on here; Locker will have a lot to prove beyond the Pro Day and scouting combine process.


Not good.

Phil Taylor is having a great week so far

DLine depth in this year's class ridiculous. If the Colts don't come out of this draft with one or even two quality DTs to help out their run D, they're never gonna get that issue solved.

Baylor DT Phil Taylor continues to impress; he’s an immovable object atalmost 340 pounds. They even triple teamed him in scrimmage on passingplays, but he was still throwing people around including undersizedFlorida State OG Rodney Hudson. Taylor shows surprising agility for hissize and certainly isn‘t this year's Mount Cody; Taylor looks likehe’ll be a full time player for some 4-3 scheme.

That's debatable.

But I will say that if they did keep VY over Fisher no coach would want to step into a situation where the owner will choose a QB over a coach. I see that angle
