Kind of a Meh group overall - This might have been the most Handsy group of Senior Bowl DBs in recent memory

Rankings: Pride was the best. Bettors choice between Jackson and Holmes for 2nd Best - then a whole lot of Meh

Pride. - ND - Most talented CB here - Legit Speed, at least one INT, instincts are only average, Best DB here though, Win v tOSU Hill


#11 Pitt Jackson - Better in 7 on 7 (who isnt here? for DB), Solid guy, Competes - Way way too handsy (most were), Has some "it" factor and feels like he will be a willing supporter against run game for a corner. Still Handsy and penalties, Speed/Size good enough rather than elite, win v. Texas (duvernay), Solid rep v Texas (Johnson), Penalty (handsy), 3 Words: Penalites, Active, Competes


#9 AJ Green? - Solid Rep (competes), Seemed to get better as week went on - Read a Route super well, relatively good coverage though not the greatest athlete

#17 Holmes UCLA - Pretty Fast, did turn head back, Playmaking instincts seem like an issue, handsy, win v. Tenn, Solid Rep v Jefferson, Seems Solid even when beat, Nice Rep in 7 on 7, Nickel?

#22 Tulsa (?) - Win v Tenn, win v Vandy, Awareness when Ball is in the Air is an Issue, Handsy, some physicality, overall athleticism is ?, Good punch out on ball after catch (no head turn purely playing hands), Nice read of route on SMU

Lamar Jackson - Nebraska - He's big but is he really a corner? Eh and Handsy, Size is apparent but is that it?

Auburn #31 - eh, ok rep, ok rep (Lacks athleticism - So very little room for Error), Got Head around but really lacks top end atleticism and its apparent


Michigan #31 - penalty, solid rep, penalty, win v Baylor

Notre Dame S - No (there were two there though) Gilman? Seems to lack any coverage ability

Wake Forest #27 - ok reps, try hard, size/speed very average, loss to SMU, loss to SMU (close)
and
Iowa #7 Ojemuda(?) - ok reps. Same guy? 5-6 Year NFL career but on 3 Teams, Try hard but lacking, Handsy win, win v Gandy Golden



#26 OU? - win v USC, loss, loss, Loss (FELL DOWN), loss to baylor

#2 Georgia Southern - ok


Wallace Clemson - Good win v FLA 9 (who is NOT good), penalty v FLA


#27 loss to USC

Michigan #14 - Josh Metallis (?) Couple of nice reps v. Rb/TE in coverage


Antoine Brooks - Maryland - Nice Rep

Fair - kind of transferring my notes as I took them

Rather stream of consciousness
