Every year there are players who boost their stock at the Senior Bowl and make themselves a lot of money while there are also those who fail to impress and maybe drop a bit. Here is a real quick look at the prospects who looked the best as well as those who might have hurt themselves:
Stock Up
1. Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, CB, Tennessee St.
- Playmaker with excellent height and athleticism who was outstanding all week.
2. Lavelle Hawkins, WR, California
- A smooth athlete with big play ability who seemed to catch everything in Mobile.
3. Sedrick Ellis, DT, USC
- He was already a Top 10 overall pick coming in but now he just might go Top 5.
4. Matt Forte, RB, Tulane
- MVP of the game ran hard and displayed excellent feet for a big (221 lbs.) back.
5. Brad Cottam, TE, Tennessee
- Imposing physical specimen (6-75/8, 271 lbs.) with good hands and athleticism.
6. Chad Henne, QB, Michigan
- The most consistent quarterback all week and showcased terrific arm strength.
7. Chris Williams, OT, Vanderbilt
- Big, smart and athletic left tackle prospect who makes it look effortless at times.
8. Donnie Avery, WR, Houston
- Big play threat with great speed who may have been the South's best wideout.
9. Joe Flacco, QB, Delaware
- Had the strongest arm of any QB in Mobile and wasn't fazed by the competition.
10. Keith Rivers
- Appeared to be on a different level and he's now the undisputed #1 linebacker.
11. Trevor Laws, DT, Notre Dame
- Does not have ideal physical tools but stood out and made plays all week long.
12. Eddie Royal, WR, Virginia Tech
- Showed that he is not just a return specialist and could be a #2 or #3 wideout.
13. Jason Jones, DE, Eastern Michigan
- College defensive tackle showed he can handle end and play with the big boys.
14. Philip Wheeler, ILB, Georgia Tech
- Checked in 10-15 pounds above his listed college weight and really played well.
15. Tracy Porter, CB, Indiana
- Displayed the man coverage skills he's known for but also played more physical.
16. Red Bryant, DT, Texas A&M
- Huge presence in the middle who made plays and was physical and aggressive.
18. Andre Caldwell, WR, Florida
- Showed why many feel that he'll end up being a better pro than college player.
17. Charles Godfrey, CB, Iowa
- Has a good combination of size/speed and stuck with smaller, quicker wideouts.
19. Carl Nicks, OT, Nebraska
- The heaviest player at the game showed he has great potential at OT and OG.
20. Dre Moore, DT, Maryland
- Looked awful at the weigh-in but really stood out once he hit the practice field.
21. Wesley Woodyard, OLB, Kentucky
- Vastly undersized ( 6-0 5/8, 219 lbs. ) but very active and a pure football player.
22. Andre Fluellen, DT, Florida St.
- A lot shorter than the Seminoles listed him at but displayed excellent quickness.
23. Justin Forsett, RB, California
- Small but displayed nice toughness and stood out after Chris Johnson was hurt.
24. Heath Benedict, OT, Newberry
- Had some ups and downs but he is big, athletic, aggressive and has potential.
25. Tashard Choice, RB, Georgia Tech
- Natural runner with great patience who isn't flashy but just gets the job done.
Stock Down
1. André Woodson, QB, Kentucky
- Has a slow delivery and his accuracy & decision making was very questionable.
2. Adarius Bowman, WR, Oklahoma St.
- Definitely looks the part but really struggled catching the ball early in the week.
3. Robert Felton, OG, Arkansas
- Had a bad body, questionable stamina and just did not look very good overall.
4. Oniel Cousins, OT, U.T.E.P.
- Had a chance to move up but disappointed and was leapfrogged by other OT's.
5. Early Doucet, WR, L.S.U.
- Injury that ended his week prematurely will heighten those durability concerns.
