I'm sure I've missed a ton of people, but this is a basic look at the practices based on what I've read.

[Gunslinger]

Man, that sucks. Fuller was a huge part of our defense this year. Hopefully he can make a turn-around.

where do you get this coveted info, CC?

[Dr. Duran Duran]

I manage a sports restaurant in California and the Senior Bowl practices are something we get on our sports satellite package. They're pretty boring for most to watch, but football geeks like myself find them pretty interesting. If any of you have a satellite dish, you might be able to get to see the practices live.

They were showing it on espn this week from around 3-4pm I believe.

Wow, I'm suprised to see Jamaal Brimmer ranked so low on these rankings.
*The more I read about Vincent Jackson, the more intriguing he sounds.
*Despite the injury concerns, I think Craphonso Thorpe could end up being a steal for someone.
*I know he is small, but Darren Sproles really intrigues me. He has sick cutback ability and instincts, and plays tougher and bigger than his actual size.
*Suprised to see Cody graded so low

[CC]

I guess the info we've received is different in a lot of aspects.

I think Vincent Jackson is a nice sleeper prospect, but Kiper has hyped him up too much he is not polished at all. I would take Larry Brackins a million times over Vincent Jackson if I was looking for pure potential.

Sproles only measured up at 5'5 and a half, they had to use a new machine because he was too small for the normal equipment.

Yeah, I know about the regular programing, but there was some extended coverage on satellite. It went for longer than one hour.

[no1cowboysfan]

I can't believe Morrison is 6th in ILBs... there goes a first day pick...

And now that I think about it, Marviel Underwood isn't on the list. Depressing... those were States finest prospects.
