Powers was impressive and with the lack of stand out interior O line he could climb.

I noticed they had Grier under center with a full back and had him run 2 boots to the left.

Yea he struggled working left for sure. The impressiveness of the weapons today has me questioning some of the games wanting to go back and to see if it was Grier or a really good supporting cast.

He's not looking very good in practice (technique). Be interesting to see if he improves throughout the week.

On the OT front Risner struggling but McGary from Washington looking really good. Real solid anchor so far and think he’s worth a look for a round 2 pick.

Just watched the Oline/Dline drills for the North

Kaleb McGary (RT) looked good

Wisc Olinemen looked not so good

Linstrom looked good except when he got beat by the bull (Greg Gaines) that surprised him with a swim move.

Starting to get more interested in Lock. I think he has potential to be the other top 10 QB besides Haskins which could bode well for our pursuit of Devin White.

I thought he’s looked okay, smooth out of his break and sudden. Drops are an issue and no press here but he will struggle releasing in the outside in the pros.

Terry McLaurin making himself some money today showing off really good route running and speed. He topped out at an impressive 22.1 MPH on one real nice go route.

..and I thought his biggest problem was coming out of his breaks. He spent too much time churning the butter instead of hit and go

He’s going to have to use some wiggle to get guys off him because his size, especially on routes with flat breaks versus angled breaks. I don’t think he did anything to hurt himself today but we will see.

Shameless WVU plug.

Nooo, I was hoping he'd stay hidden and the Bengals could snag him in the 4th round! He played rather well for Washington opposite of Adams.

From my understanding, dude has a cannon. And with three QB coaches expected on the staff (Taylor, Callahan, Van Pelt), they might love to develop a guy like Lock while Dalton starts for a year or two.

Is Risner playing outside at Senior Bowl practices or inside at OG? I've read he might be a better fit inside given his lack of length.

They have had him outside from what I saw. I worry a bit about his strength though inside because he got bulled right over on a couple snaps.

It's early but between his charisma and showing he could be going in that run of QB needy teams between 5 and us. I'm not in for a QB at 11 because the team is aging a bit and we need weapons to help us win now, but if he falls into the 20's for some reason (weird things happen) I'd be open to trade up even leveraging the 1st next year to get him.

He looks like a 2nd rounder to me with a potential for someone to fall in love with him like Kolton Miller last year and the Raiders.

They had him in both tackle spots during 1on1s and at Right Tackle in the team drills they showed. They didnt show much 9 on 7.

Hopefully they try him at guard this week to see how he does.
