Even though a few sites say otherwise, I think Kory Sheets gets drafted. He showed enough speed to get outside a couple of times in the Senior Bowl, even though one was called back for holding. He had 7 carries for 32 yds and a 61 yd kickoff return. He caught several checkdowns, but they were well-covered, so no yardage. I liked how he read his blocks and showed some acceleration off his cuts.

Shawn Nelson was also sold pretty well by Mayock and Davis during Senior Bowl week. I'm just as guilty as anyone. Just to name a few.

![]() You'll have to 'splain this to me, because I'm not familiar with your reference. I sometimes like talking about guys besides the "usual suspects". It might be interesting for everyone to list their sleepers. It probably should be done in its own thread. Texan fans from different parts of the country should have a better familiarity with players in their region. The question is, can you be objective. |

Charles Davis and Mike Mayock are analysts for the NFL Network. The network covered Senior Bowl practices. Every time Shawn Nelson caught a pass or blocked a LB, Davis and Mayock were just oohing and aahing about how this kid "flashed" all week. While Nelson reminds me of Marcedes Lewis, I thought that they were a little over the top in spotlighting him. My point was, every time that mentioned his name they stir up some buzz. Therefore, if he "climbs" up the draft board, he'll make more money and his agent will get paid more.

I figured it was something like that. I meant to watch those shows throughout the week. Every afternoon when I got home from work, I would forget it. Getting old ain't for sissies, boys.
Mayock may be a good analyst and evaluator, but he was annoying to me doing the game. While he was right dogging Harrell's arm, there were 3 times when he was so wrong it was agitating. I would have to go back to the game to get all the names correct, but here is were the crappy commentary came from. First, there was a run to the outside where Cushing was pursuing. He engaged the pulling OL and knocked him backwards. The rb cut to the inside and Mayock criticized Cushing for overrunning the play. I guess he expected Cushing to somehow overcome a lineman who probably had 40 to 50 pounds on him (and a good blocking angle) and make the tackle on a running back in space. Most good running backs can make a move to get around a linebacker one on one. Davis tried to diffuse the comment by saying something like " well, the good thing is, he spilled the play back inside". I thought it was a great play by Cushing, but I guess he could have grabbed the lineman and thrown him over his head and made the tackle himself. ![]() On a kickoff return, the returner worked himself towards the far sideline, and when a crease developed, Mayock shouts, "Explode! Right now!" The guy was already going pretty full out at that point, and was able to accelerate slightly through the crease and got the most out of the opportunity. The only way that a guy could have "exploded" at that point was if he had a jet pack on his back. On another play where the running back got stuffed by the interior dl, Mayock said the center (I think it was Unger, but not sure) and right guard ( Levitre) got blown up. They showed a replay and clearly, Levitre took his man completely out of the play to the right. Mayock should have corrected himself at that point, but didn't. |

McGee is looking like most athletic QB at combine. Too bad he got injured early in 2008. Think he'll last to 7th round.
