Be wary of Senior Bowl standouts
ie: The leged of Carl '' Unstoppable'' Davis ( in senior bowl)
i use it as a supplementary tool - i dont grade anyone based on their bowl performance but i do use it to see if it confirms what ive seen on tape, or if it doesnt confirm what ive seen on tape i go back to the tape to see what i missed or reanalyse what's changed etc., and it also brings up prospects who i havent come across yet that i can start to watch tape on because they've peaked my interest (small-school guys/low production guys/unknowns)
ive got examples of each of those 3 from this year:
- Denzel Mims senior bowl confirmed what id seen on tape, likewise neville gallimore
- Bradlee Anae's performance makes me want to go back to the tape to see what i missed, same with kenny willikes
- Ben Bartch, Van Jefferson and Kindle Vildor are all now guys im going to be adding to the board (after watching tape) who I probably wouldnt have even got to if not for the senior bowl (bartch because he's a DIII prospect, Jefferson because he's had such low production numbers, Vildor is another small school guy
