Senior Bowl 2012: Latest Buzz from Draft Experts on Day 3 of Practice

All the latest buzz from Day 3 of practice at the 2012 Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama. We get insight on prospects from Tony Pauline of Sports Illustrated, Wes Bunting of National Football Post and Rob Rang of CBS Sports.

DE/OLB Vinny Curry, Marshall

From Tony Pauline of Sports Illustrated:

"

Vinny Curry of Marshall really stood out today and was impossible to stop at times. He's at a disadvantage, as he's been used solely at defensive end and never allowed to stand up over tackle, but scouts leave the morning and the week highly impressed with his athleticism, quickness and general feel as a pass-rusher.

"

CB Jamell Fleming, Oklahoma

From Rob Rang of CBS Sports:

"

Fleming has been the surprising standout for a North team boasting a talented cornerback group, not the least of which is Nebraska's Alfonzo Dennard. Like Dennard, Fleming projects best in a man cover scheme and he's been beaten on occasion this week due to the fact that the Minnesota Vikings have asked him to play off a great deal. Still, Fleming has shown enough athleticism to turn and run with receivers and has demonstrated a very quick burst to the ball.

"

LB Demario Davis, Arkansas State

From Wes Bunting of National Football Post:

"

Demario Davis again stood out with his natural foot quickness and athleticism in coverage. He quickly can redirect, finds the football well and has a burst out of his breaks. Plus, he displayed good change of direction skills limiting tight ends in man coverage.

"

C Mike Brewster, Ohio State

From Pauline:

"

C Mike Brewster of Ohio State is having a tough go of it this morning. He was just beaten badly by Mike Martin of Michigan, who had been quiet most of the day. Brewster has been struggling to hold the point and continues to get pushed back off the line.

"

OL Mitchell Schwartz, California

From Rang:

"

Schwartz has stood out this week due to his size (6'5", 317 lbs.), long arms (33 1/8"), strength and surprising agility. He's held up well at right tackle in pass-blocking drills and has done a nice job of sealing off defensive linemen in the running game and has been able to get to the second level, as well. Schwartz has been especially impressive in pass-blocking drills, where he's repeatedly stoned Penn State's Jack Crawford and Virginia's Cam Johnson, among others. 

"

TE Michael Agnew, Missouri

From Bunting:

"

It’s been a pretty “blah” week of practice for Michael Egnew. He hasn’t shown much burst off the line from a three-point stance and is tighter when trying to get out of his breaks and separate. Now, he is a big kid, but looks limited in the type of routes he can run at the next level.

"

QB Russell Wilson, Wisconsin

From Pauline:

"

QB Russell Wilson of Wisconsin has shown he's able to make plays based on his athleticism. Wilson looked like he was going to be sacked in scrimmage for a big loss, but was able to escape the rush and defenders to make a nice completion to Chris Polk.

"

LB Audie Cole, North Carolina State

From Pauline:

"

LB Audie Cole of North Carolina State is not known for his foot speed or athleticism, but he's just a good, tough football player. Every time Cole has stepped to the line this morning he seems determined to stop his opponents by any means necessary, and for the most part he has.

"

LB Lavonte David, Nebraska

From Bunting:

"

Lavonte David is a bit undersized. However, he’s a “plus” athlete who can turn and run down the field. He’s loose in the hips, diagnoses plays quickly and always puts himself around the football. In the run game he’s routinely getting early jumps on the actions and knows how to scrape the edge and break down into contact.

"

LB Shea McClellin, Boise State

From Pauline:

"

Shea McClellin of Boise State looks better every day at the linebacker position. He's been planted in the middle today and has done a great job remaining patient with assignments, smoothly moving across the field and showing a good degree of awareness.
