2011 Senior Bowl weigh-in notables

I thought he’d have shorter arms.

Not sure why I thought that sentence was funny, but I did.

Derrek Sherrod helped himself at the weigh in too. 6’5 312lbs and 35" arms. I think those that were predicting him as a high riser, into the top 10 possibly, may be right should he blow up the combine too.

as a 3-4 NT? If so he seems a little light for the position….

Solder’s 34.5’’ arm length is what I had read from a preseason Pro Football Weekly write-up beforehand. Definitely wish it was longer (the ideal is 36’’), especially for such a tall tackle – although glad to see he’s 6-8 and not 6-9 as some pegged him as.

What surprised me was Sherrod at 35.5’’, and both Castonzo and Carimi at 35.25’’, all of those an inch-plus longer than the aforementioned PFW write-up. Very pleasant surprise.

As a Colts fan, I love it. Heights and weights all look good for those guys too, particular Sherrod as Rorschach stated above (I’d ideally like a left tackle in the 6-5 or 6-6 range and around 310 lbs.). Can’t wait for the Colts to get one of these guys, hopefully at least one lasts until their pick.

I think James Brewer is well-regarded by the Colts for that matter. They like to take somewhat developmental offensive lineman in the 4th round (Jacques McClendon of Tennessee being the most example last year), he could be that guy this year.

Glad to see Carimi come in at 315, but also his Badgers teammate John Moffitt at 314 as I was hoping to see him lose some pounds from his frame. Conversely Rodney Hudson came in at 291, more than some expected/listed.

I’ve been public with my disbelief of Paea’s listed 311 weight, he came in as I expected at a much lighter 295. One such reason why I’ve been consistent the last few weeks in bringing him up in the discussion of the Colts’ 2nd round pick, but not their 1st round pick.

Greg Jones’ height won’t help him, although the Colts love linebackers at his size (6-0/240ish). The bigger problem is that I don’t he’s particularly quick and explosive. If teams aren’t looking at him as a middle linebacker, he needs speed/explosion as a weakside linebacker prospect.

Meanwhile Kelvin Sheppard weighed in at 250. Damn, son. If he played at that weight during the season, he looked quicker. He’s a good linebacker prospect.

Jeremy Beal similarly came in at a robust 268. I think both 4-3 and 3-4 teams are going to look at him.

That’s what immediately caught my eye, anyways.

Does that mean I’m in the wrong profession?

all these kids look stupid when its blatantly obvious their “listed” size is nowhere near the truth.

Paea I didn’t think he was 311, but 295? He better hope to put on at least 10 pounds by the combine or any 1st round hopes of his are gone

he took a shot at Wes Bunting
do you think Wes like’s guys? and their body types?

check out Wes for that kind of thing, I guess

it sounds weird to me

looks like subtle shots man, I dont care just saying

6-2.5, 237 lbs.

I think he’s off numerous 3-4 teams’ lists.

I admit its kinda awkward, but I think it does help. Look at Andre Smith, he looked like a fat piece of crap without his shirt on and guess what? He plays like a fat piece of crap. I know its not a perfect formula, but I bet teams pay a lot of attention to these kids’ bodies, there’s a reason why they all weigh in in just compression shorts.

Maybe thats why Clayborn and some of these other kids pulled out of the Senior Bowl. I think its because they and their agents didn’t like their weight/body and didn’t want to risk them hurting their draft stock. They could be just waiting for the combine so they either gain/lose the weight to impress scouts
