Scouting The Bowl Games

IU:
MIKAIL KAMARA-EDGE: The dude lives in the opponent’s backfield. Probably better suited for a 3-4 OLB, but maybe we’ll bring one of those in

CJ WEST- IDL: Pick run stuffing IDL who will be available late in the draft due to only 1-season at a “big” Program

ELIJAH SURRATT/WR: Solid built WR (6’2/215) with good hands and RAC skills. Also has KR skills

ND:
XAVIER WATTS/DB: One of my favorite players in the draft. Came out of HS as the #89 nationally ranked WR. Led the nation in INTs

HOWARD CROSS II-IDL/UND: I like interior linemen w/ a wrestling background and Cross has it. Cross in and undersized(6’1”/288) penetrating IDL.

MITCHELL EVANS-TE/UND: I like TEs who were former QBs and Mitch is that. Big  in-line TE (6’5”/260). Would be higher if not for the ACL tear last year. Has All scared us off?

Not only did Watts lead the NCAA in INTs in 2023 (7), he's tied for 3rd this year (5).
Dude has >10 INTs across two most recent seasons, showing he really a ball hawk.
Would love him as a Bengal.
