Thanks for the report golden. I wasn't able to watch the game so I have tried to follow up the analysis at different sites. Good to hear that Cherilus had a solid game. I'd read mixed reports of how he did and that he is not a candidate to play LT for some reason. There were some very positive reports on Chris Williams and it seems likely he is a first-rounder possibly ahead of Cherilus.

Two other d-lineman who might figure in second round plans are Dre Moore and Red Bryant. I'd heard Bryant had a good week and that Moore showed a few good things despite looking sloppy at the weigh-in.

Another thing that seems to have developed is center Mike Pollak has moved up and might be a late second-round pick and the first center chosen.

Did anyone look good on kick returns? Eddie Royal and Chris Johnson were hurt and wonder if anyone stood out.

Anyone else show some speed getting after the QB?

just copy and pasted from McShay's article instead of taking time to recap, sorry:

Last week, I previewed the 2008 Senior Bowl by breaking down the top five offensive and defensive prospects expected to participate. Well, that turned out to be a colossal waste of time.

First, there were the bail outs. Some like QB Matt Ryan and CB Mike Jenkins skipped Mobile on their own accord while others like QB Brian Brohm and DE/OLB Quentin Groves pulled out due to lingering injuries.

Then the rankings were also affected by players who fell victim to injury like WRs Limas Sweed and Early Doucet, TE Fred Davis, DT Kentwan Balmer and CB Leodis McKelvin. Other players -- like QB Andre Woodson -- failed to live up to expectations.

So, suddenly, a week later, the lists of the top-ranked prospects in the Senior Bowl look almost nothing like the originals.

Top five offensive players
1. Chris Williams, OT, Vanderbilt
Biggest pro: Agility.
Biggest con: Explosive power.
Draft projection: First round.

2. Sam Baker, OT, Southern California
Biggest pro: Agility.
Biggest con: Bulk/strength.
Draft projection: First round.

3. Lavelle Hawkins, WR, California
Biggest pro: Precision route-runner.
Biggest con: Bulk/strength.
Draft projection: Late-first or early-second round.

4. Chad Henne, QB, Michigan
Biggest pro: Efficiency as a pocket passer.
Biggest con: Inability to make plays outside the pocket.
Draft projection: Second round.

5. Joe Flacco, QB, Delaware
Biggest pro: Prototypical size/arm.
Biggest con: Adjustment from small-school, shotgun-heavy offense.
Draft projection: Second round.

Top five defensive players

1. Sedrick Ellis, DT, Southern California
Biggest pro: Explosive quickness.
Biggest con: Durability.
Draft projection: Top-10 pick.

2. Keith Rivers, OLB, Southern California
Biggest pro: Motor and leadership.
Biggest con: Not a playmaker in passing game.
Draft projection: Mid-to-late first round.

3. Dan Connor, ILB, Penn State
Biggest pro: Toughness, instincts and tackling.
Biggest con: Lack of ideal speed.
Draft projection: Mid-to-late first round.

4. Ali Highsmith, OLB, LSU
Biggest pro: Range versus run and in coverage.
Biggest con: Undersized.
Draft projection: Late-first round.

5. Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, CB, Tennessee State
Biggest pro: Size/athleticism.
Biggest con: Run support.
Draft projection: Late-first round.

Five more whose stock climbed
They didn't make the top five on their side of the ball, but these five prospects should still cash in on strong showings at this year's Senior Bowl.

1. Andre Caldwell, WR, Florida
Caldwell was one of the quicker athletes at this year's Senior Bowl and displayed very soft hands throughout the week. He was outperforming Doucet early in the week before the LSU wideout was injured.

2. Tracy Porter, CB, Indiana
NFL teams still have concerns regarding Porter's toughness in run support. However, Porter may have locked down a spot in Round 2 with his outstanding man-to-man coverage skills throughout the week.

3. Carl Nicks, OT, Nebraska
Nicks is a monster of a man with loads of upside. Plenty of teams should be willing to part with a second-round pick on this developing tackle. He may need to play right tackle or guard early on, but Nicks has the physical tools to emerge as a solid starting left tackle a few years down the line.

4. Brad Cottam, TE, Tennessee
Cottam's playing time in college was derailed by a slew of injuries. In fact, he had as many catches (five) in 2007 as he did operations throughout his collegiate career. But Cottam proved to be the most consistent tight end during the week of practice and his combination of size and reliable hands could land him a spot as early as the third round.

5. Matt Forte, RB, Tulane
Forte's excellent week of practice paid off with his MVP performance in Saturday's game. His size and versatility have scouts talking about a third-round value in this deep draft of running backs.

Five whose stock fell
1. Andre' Woodson, QB, Kentucky
What went wrong? San Francisco offensive coordinator Mike Martz's system proved to be a terrible fit for Woodson, who seemingly regressed with each practice. Woodson's delivery looked longer than normal and his accuracy suffered. He also was unable to showcase his fastball throughout the week.
Draft projection: Second round.

2. Adarius Bowman, WR, Oklahoma State
What went wrong? Too many dropped passes in practice. Although it should have been called a touchdown, Bowman's bobble in the end zone was yet another reminder to NFL scouts of his erratic hands.
Draft projection: Third round.

3. Dejuan Tribble, CB, Boston College
What went wrong? His inability to turn and run with faster receivers was exposed throughout the week.
Draft projection: Fourth round.

4. Colt Brennan, QB, Hawaii
What went wrong? He was able to showcase a quick release and good timing as a passer. But unfortunately for Brennan, most NFL decision-makers left Mobile wondering how this 6-foot-2, 185-pounder with a three-quarter release point and below-average arm strength would make it at the next level.
Draft projection: Fourth or fifth round.

5. Dantrell Savage, RB, Oklahoma State
What went wrong? His lack of size, power and second gear became overly apparent during his generally ineffective showing throughout Senior Bowl week.
Draft projection: Fifth round.

Injury report

Several injuries were either uncovered prior to this year's Senior Bowl or occurred during practices and on gameday. Either way, NFL team doctors will be keeping an extra close eye on the following group of hobbled prospects:

• Louisville QB Brian Brohm (ankle).
  
• East Carolina RB Chris Johnson (shoulder).
  
• West Virginia FB Owen Schmitt (knee).
  
• Texas WR Limas Sweed (wrist).
  
• LSU WR Early Doucet (hamstring).
  
• USC TE Fred Davis (ankle).
  
• Notre Dame TE John Carlson (bacteria infection).
  
• North Carolina DT Kentwan Balmer (hamstring).
  
• Auburn DE/OLB Quentin Groves (turf toe).
  
• Miami (Fla.) OLB Tavares Gooden (hip flexor).
  
• Michigan OLB Shawn Crable (back).
  
• UNLV ILB Beau Bell (lower leg).
  
• Troy CB Leodis McKelvin (hamstring).
  
• Michigan S Jamar Adams (Achilles).

(Blitz let me know if this is dangerous as I don't want to get your site in trouble)  Here is Scouts, Inc position rankings after the Senior Bowl:

The 2008 Senior Bowl is in the books, and below are our updated unit rankings following the week of practice and Saturday's game. Official heights and weights from the Senior Bowl weigh-in session are included:

Quarterbacks

1. Chad Henne, Michigan (6-2 7/8, 228)
   
2. Joe Flacco, Delaware (6-6 1/4, 232)
   
3. Andre Woodson, Kentucky (6-4 1/4 234)
   
4. John David Booty, USC, (6-2 3/8, 213)
   
5. Colt Brennan, Hawaii (6-2 1/4, 185)
   
6. Erik Ainge, Tennessee (6-5 1/2, 225)
   

Henne and Flacco were the real winners from this year's crop of Senior Bowl quarterbacks. While neither is flawless -- Henne lacks ideal mobility and Flacco is still unpolished coming from a primarily shotgun-spread offense at the FCS level -- both showed enough promising traits to move ahead of Woodson on our draft board. Woodson seemed out of sorts working under 49ers offensive coordinator Mike Martz, whose timing-based offensive system accentuated Woodson's elongated delivery while masking his powerful arm. Booty helped his cause slightly with a steady week. Brennan, on the other hand, failed to erase concerns regarding his ability to overcome marginal size, a three-quarters delivery and below-average arm strength at the next level.

Running backs

1. Chris Johnson, East Carolina (5-10 1/2, 195)
   
2. Matthew Forte, Tulane (6-1 1/8, 221)
   
3. Tashard Choice, Georgia Tech (5-10 5/8, 210)
   
4. Justin Forsett, California (5-7 3/4, 190)
   
5. Chauncey Washington, USC (5-11 1/2, 215)
   
6. Rafael Little, Kentucky (5-8 7/8, 194)
   
7. Dantrell Savage, Oklahoma State (5-8 1/4, 187)
   
8. Yvenson Bernard, Oregon State (5-8 1/4, 202)
   

Johnson showed flashes of his explosive speed before a shoulder injury cut his week short. He remains the top-rated back in a weak crop of seniors, but several others made up ground late in the week. Forte emerged as the best prospect over 215 pounds at this year's Senior Bowl. His versatility will be enticing to several teams in the third round. Choice, Forsett and Washington were the other three standouts during the week. Choice is the best pure runner, Forsett is the shiftiest and Washington displays the most complete set of skills. However, all three lack elite speed and come with durability baggage. Finally, Little and Savage were unable to standout and Bernard was a late-addition in place of Johnson.

Fullbacks

1. Owen Schmitt, West Virginia (6-1 3/2, 247)
   
2. Peyton Hillis, Arkansas (5-11 5/8, 229)
   
3. Jacob Hester, LSU (6-2 7/8, 228)
   

Schmitt possesses the most complete set of skills but a leg injury cut his week short. Hillis and Hester are a bit smaller but both are versatile contributors who the coaches fell in love with during the week. These should be the top three fullbacks selected in the 2008 draft, somewhere in the fourth-to-fifth round range.

Wide receivers

1. Limas Sweed, Texas (6-4, 212)
   
2. Lavelle Hawkins, California (6-2 3/4, 210)
   
3. Andre Caldwell, Florida (6-0, 1/2, 207)
   
4. Early Doucet, LSU (5-11 7/8, 211)
   
5. Donnie Avery, Houston (5-11, 186)
   
6. Adarius Bowman, Oklahoma State (6-2 7/7, 220)
   
7. Jordy Nelson, Kansas State (6-2 5/8, 215)
   
8. Eddie Royal, Virginia Tech (5-9 5/8, 182)
   
9. Harry Douglas, Louisville (5-11 1/8, 170)
   
10. Dexter Jackson, Appalachian State (5-11 1/2, 188)
    
11. D.J. Hall, Alabama (5-10 1/8, 198)
    
12. Dorien Bryant, Purdue (5-9 5/8, 169)
    
13. Marcus Smith, New Mexico (6-0 7/8, 214)
    

Sweed and Doucet proved to be among the premier talents at wide receiver prior to suffering injuries that would end both of their weeks. Hawkins and Caldwell gladly stepped up in their place. Hawkins was solid early in the week and had a phenomenal showing during Wednesday full-pad practice. He is in position to compete for a spot in the first two rounds. From what we saw, Caldwell was more impressive than Doucet during practice on Monday and Tuesday and also finished the week strong as one of the standouts in Saturday night's game.

Avery has great speed but his routes need lots of work. Bowman's inconsistent hands have his stock falling out of the first two rounds right now. On the flip side, Nelson and Royal helped their respective causes with very steady performances throughout the week. Douglas and Bryant failed to show the explosiveness and consistency we were hoping to see from them this week. Smith and Jackson are not quite as polished but both took advantage of the opportunity and should come off the board in the first three rounds. Hall was one of the most productive college players in this group but his lack of explosiveness was easily detectible throughout the week of practice.

Tight ends

1. Fred Davis, USC (6-2 5/8, 250)
   
2. Jacob Tamme, Kentucky (6-3 3/4, 234)
   
3. Martin Rucker, Missouri (6-4 3/4, 248)
   
4. Brad Cottam, Tennessee (6-7 5/8, 271)
   
5. Kellen Davis, Michigan State (6-6 1/4, 259)
   
6. Cole Bennett, Auburn (6-4 1/8, 246)
   

Davis was clearly the best athlete prior to suffering a mild ankle injury in the middle of the week. Tamme showed good speed and solid hands throughout the week but he's vastly undersized as a blocker and struggled to get off the press versus stronger linebackers during unit drills. He gave up ground to other senior tight ends such as Rucker, Cottam and Davis. Rucker failed to wow anyone with his athleticism but he was reliable as a short-to-intermediate receiver. Cottam improved his stock the most, displaying an excellent combination of size, strength, quickness and hands, but five surgeries during his collegiate career are bound to haunt him on draft weekend. Davis looks the part physically and flashes some playmaking skills but his effort and technique are both inconsistent.

Offensive tackles

1. Chris Williams, Vanderbilt (6-6 1/8, 320)
   
2. Sam Baker, USC (6-4 1/2, 308)
   
3. Carl Nicks, Nebraska (6-4 7/8, 343)
   
4. Gosder Cherilus, Boston College (6-6 5/8, 315)
   
5. Barry Richardson, Clemson, (6-6 3/8, 331)
   
6. Oniel Cousins, UTEP (6-4 1/8, 301)
   
7. Kirk Barton, Ohio State (6-4 3/8, 303)
   
8. Michael McGlynn, Pittsburgh (6-4 3/8, 309)
   

Williams lacks explosive power but we thought he was the most complete lineman at this year's Senior Bowl, which is why we upgraded him to the top spot. Baker lost a bit of ground but is still in the running for a first-round selection. He fails to dominate during one-on-one drills but he finds ways to execute when it counts in game conditions. He's one of the more intriguing prospects to study and is sure to give NFL scouts some sleepless nights between now and draft meetings. Nicks and Cherilus also impressed scouts with their natural ability and consistent effort throughout the week. Nicks has the natural tools to eventually develop into a left tackle starter in the NFL but he's less polished than Cherilus, whose home at the next level will be on the right side.

Guards

1. Roy Schuening, Oregon State (6-3 5/8, 308)
   
2. Drew Radovich, USC (6-4 3/8, 302)
   
3. Heath Benedict, Newberry College (6-4 3/4, 321)
   
4. Robert Felton, Arkansas (6-3 7/8, 313)
   
5. Chad Rinehart, Northern Iowa (6-5 1/4, 317)
   

All five of these guards should come off the board between the second and fifth rounds of the upcoming draft. Schuening should be the first senior selected, likely behind Virginia junior Branden Albert. Radovich is not overly explosive but he showed very consistent feet as one of the top interior linemen at this year's Senior Bowl. Benedict spent most of his time at tackle and flashes some developmental upside. However, the D-II prospect projects far better inside at guard, where he can be protected.

Centers

1. Mike Pollak, Arizona State (6-3 3/8, 299)
   
2. Steven Justice, Wake Forest (6-3 1/4, 289)
   
3. John Sullivan, Notre Dame (6-3 3/8, 284)
   
4. Kory Lichtensteiger, Bowling Green (6-2 3/8, 296)
   
5. Cody Wallace, Texas A&M (6-4 1/8, 290)
   

Pollak and Sullivan made the most of their opportunities. Pollak proved to be a consistent performer with adequate mobility and impressive upper-body strength. Sullivan climbed back into the top three at the position by showcasing his powerful run blocking skills and solid overall technique. Justice won't be a good fit for every team because he's not strong enough to anchor versus a 3-4 nose tackle, but teams with smaller offensive lines such as the Broncos should covet him in the third-round range. Lichtensteiger was solid but failed to blow anyone away with his physical skills. Finally, Wallace struggled as much as any offensive lineman at this year's Senior Bowl. He has a lot of ground to make up between now and April's draft.

Defensive tackles

1. Sedrick Ellis, USC (6-0 7/8, 308)
   
2. Kentwan Balmer, North Carolina (6-4 1/2, 308)
   
3. Marcus Harrison, Arkansas (6-2 1/4, 290)
   
4. Dre Moore, Maryland (6-4 1/8, 307)
   
5. Red Bryant, Texas A&M (6-4 3/8, 326)
   
6. Trevor Laws, Notre Dame (6-0 7/8, 297)
   
7. Andre Fluellen, Florida State (6-1 7/8, 285)
   
8. DeMario Pressley, NC State (6-3 1/4, 300)
   

Scouts expected Ellis to dominate this week and he didn't disappoint. Not only was he the best defensive lineman in Mobile, he was the best overall player. At this point he looks like a lock to go in the top 10 and could very well crack the top five before all is said and done. While both Balmer and Fluellen sustained hamstring injuries, Balmer played well before he got hurt on Tuesday and Fluellen showed some toughness by turning in a strong showing despite being banged up. Another player that made the most of his opportunity was Laws, who certainly isn't the most talented player listed here but one who plays from the snap until the whistle and showed well in the game.

Defensive ends

1. Lawrence Jackson, USC (6-4 3/8, 261)
   
2. Darrell Robertson, Georgia Tech (6-3 7/8, 247)
   
3. Jeremy Thompson, Wake Forest (6-4 3/8, 264)
   
4. Clifford Avril, Purdue (6-3, 252)
   
5. Jason Jones, Eastern Michigan (6-5 1/8, 272)
   
6. Kendall Langford, Hampton (6-5 3/8, 275)
   
7. Chris Ellis, Virginia Tech (6-4 1/4, 260)
   
8. Wallace Gilberry, Alabama (6-2 1/2, 263)
   

Jackson leaves Mobile looking like late-first or early-second round pick, and for good reason. He was the most complete player at the position, showing the ability to get to the quarterback and anchor against the run. The defensive end who improved his stock the most this week was Robertson, whose non-stop motor and pass-rushing abilities turned some heads. As far as the two small-school prospects go, Langford and Jones held their own and proved that they have what it takes to develop into effective 3-4 ends. However, it has to be said that not one of these players emerged as an elite edge rusher. Additionally, Gilberry did little to stand out on the field except getting flagged for a late hit during the game.

Inside linebackers

1. Dan Connor, Penn State (6-2 5/8, 233)
   
2. Philip Wheeler, Georgia Tech (6-2, 245)
   
3. Ben Moffitt, South Florida (6-1, 231
   
4. Beau Bell, UNLV (6-1 5/8, 243)
   

Connor isn't a great athlete by NFL standards but he proved he isn't stiff either, as he moved far better than expected. His game-high nine tackles and interception in the game won't hurt his first-round chances, either. Meanwhile, Wheeler looked great between the tackles and attacking the line of scrimmage but problems holding up in coverage may cause him to slip to the third round. In addition, Bell sustained a leg injury and didn't show great athletic ability when he was healthy.

Outside linebackers

1. Keith Rivers, USC (6-1 7/8, 236)
   
2. Ali Highsmith, LSU (5-10 5/8, 230)
   
3. Xavier Adibi, Virginia Tech (6-1 5/8, 220)
   
4. Bruce Davis, UCLA (6-2 5/8, 241)
   
5. Jordon Dizon, Colorado (5-11 7/8, 228)
   
6. Wesley Woodyard, Kentucky (6-0 5/8, 219)
   
7. Shawn Crable, Michigan (6-5 1/8, 241)
   
8. Titus Brown, Mississippi State (6-2 5/8, 239)
   

This is without question the most talented group from top to bottom, and the top three could all come off the board in the first round. While Rivers is the most complete player, Adibi and Highsmith are athletic and fly around the field. Davis struggled a bit but it's worth pointing out that he wisely moved from end to outside linebacker. His chances of succeeding at the NFL level are far greater at linebacker and playing there this week shows NFL front offices he is willing to make the move. Dizon and Woodyard simply aren't big enough to be considered viable first-day draft picks and will likely slide to the fourth round. However, both impressed scouts with their relentlessness and noses for the ball this week. It was a tough week for Crable, though, who struggled early and then sustained a back injury that sidelined him for the second half of the week.

Cornerbacks

1. Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, Tennessee State (6-1 3/8, 183)
   
2. Leodis McKelvin, Troy (5-10 5/8, 190)
   
3. Tracy Porter, Indiana (5-10 5/8, 184)
   
4. Patrick Lee, Auburn (5-11 7/8, 194)
   
5. Charles Godfrey, Iowa (5-11 3/4, 207)
   
6. Terrell Thomas, USC (6-0 3/8, 197)
   
7. Chevis Jackson, LSU (6-0 7/8, 240)
   
8. Terrence Wheatley, Colorado (5-9 3/8, 187)
   
9. Dejuan Tribble, Boston College (5-8 1/2, 190)
   

Although not the most talented, this was arguably the most competitive group of the week with Rodgers-Cromartie, McKelvin and Porter all making their pitches for best corner honors. Rodgers-Cromartie played free safety as well as corner and picked a pass off in the game. In fact, he looked so good this week he could move into the first round. McKelvin had a strong week, too. He held his own in coverage and showed scouts he can contribute as a return specialist, but he sustained an injury that prevented him from playing in the game.

Porter arguably showed better cover skills than both Rodgers-Cromartie and McKelvin but he doesn't have great size and isn't a great run defender. Moving down the list, it looks like Godfrey, Thomas and Jackson are best suited to play in Cover 2 schemes because of their problems turning and running with receivers. In addition, Tribble's stock took a big hit this week because of his inability to open his hips and stay with receivers when forced to turn and run.

Safeties

1. Thomas DeCoud, California (6-1 1/2, 196)
   
2. Marcus Griffin, Texas (6-1 1/8, 233)
   
3. Simeon Castille, Alabama (5-11 7/8, 190)
   
4. Quintin Demps, UTEP (5-11 3/4, 203)
   
5. Tom Zbikowski, Notre Dame (5-11 1/8, 209)
   
6. Jamar Adams, Michigan (6-2 1/4, 209)
   
7. D.J. Wolfe, Oklahoma (5-10 3/4, 200)
   

Considering the lack of depth and overall talent at safety this year, it came as little surprise that this group was underwhelming during Senior Bowl week. It's also important to point out that a few corners played safety during the week. Of the pure safeties, DeCoud had the most complete skills and Griffin looked more athletic than his size would indicate. Additionally, Zibikowski showed he can be a valuable special teams player and adequate reserve on defense. That said, it's unlikely any of these safeties will come off the board in the first two rounds.

Special teams
Kickers

1. Alexis Serna, Oregon State (5-6 1/2, 168)
   
2. Brandon Coutu, Georgia (5-11 1/4, 187)
   

Punters

1. Durant Brooks, Georgia Tech (6-0, 205)
   
2. Mike Dragosavich, North Dakota State (6-5 1/4, 207)
   

Long snappers

1. Tim Bugg, Indiana (6-0, 255)
   
2. Garrison Sanborn, Florida State (5-11 7/8, 239)
   

Serna showed consistency on field goals but lacks the leg to handle kickoffs at the next level. Brooks could be the only one of these six specialists to be drafted. He displayed a solid combination of leg strength and directional skills as the South team punter. Bugg is the best long-snapper in the 2008 class, so there's a chance his name could gets called in the seventh round.
