NFL draft guru names 10 winners from Senior Bowl week

NFL Network draft analyst Daniel Jeremiah spent the past week in Mobile, Alabama watching the top seniors available in the upcoming class at the Senior Bowl. As NFL coaches, executives and scouts gathered to evaluate which players they hope to draft, each player had an opportunity to raise their stock.

From Monday through Friday, the players participated in drills and practices up against each other. As he watched and spoke with those in attendance, Daniel Jeremiah ranked the 10 players who have won Senior Bowl week and raised their draft stock.

After a week of practice, the Senior Bowl game will be played at 3:30 p.m. ET on Saturday, with NFL Network providing the coverage. The NFL Draft will take place on April 28-30 in Las Vegas, Nevada, with coverage spread across ABC, ESPN and NFL Network.

10 winners from Senior Bowl Week

Greg Dulcich – TE, UCLA

Dulcich came into Senior Bowl week with a chance to measure up against some of the top tight end prospects on the board. According to Jeremiah, he was “more explosive” than Colorado State’s Trey McBride and showed an ability to run and separate from defenders.

Kingsley Enagbare – DE, South Carolina

Enagbare’s stock has risen and fallen according to the draft boards several times, but it appears back on the rise heading toward the finish line. Jeremiah believes he moved from a potential third-round pick to a second-round lock.

Logan Hall – DT, Houston

Jeremiah believes that the athletic Hall solidified his spit in the top 50 prospects list this week. The criticism for Hall states that he is in between the size of a defensive end and defensive tackle, but there is a believe he can succeed with his strength and athleticism.

Jermaine Johnson II – EDGE, Florida State

Johnson came into the week as one of the top Senior Bowl prospects and did not disappoint. Despite not practicing on Thursday, he exits the week as Jeremiah’s top-rated defensive player from the event.

Travis Jones – DT, UConn

According to Jeremiah, Jones performed as the most physically dominant player this week. Because he does not fit all schemes, there is a concern about fit within certain defenses, but he has reportedly generated some excitement.

Trevor Penning – OT, Northern Iowa

Penning came into the week as the No. 25 prospect on Jeremiah’s board and helped his case with an impressive showing. While the initial scouring report showed he stayed too high in his pass blocking stance, there was improvement during Senior Bowl week.

Jalen Pitre – S, Baylor

Pitre performed well against tight ends who measured much bigger than him this week, standing out despite his 5-foot-10 measurement. Jeremiah says that he “looked like a starting NFL safety.”

Khalil Shakir – WR, Boise State

Shakir showed off his hands and quickness to shoot up the draft boards during Senior Bowl week. He is a two-time All-Mountain West performer who Jeremiah believes will play in the slot like former USC star Amon-Ra St. Brown.

Malik Willis – QB, Liberty

Willis is the only quarterback to make the list, which could put him in contention to be the first off the board if teams view the week similarly. Although no quarterback ran away from the pack, he impressed through some challenging conditions throughout the week.

Devonte Wyatt – DT, Georgia

Coming off a national championship, Wyatt again showed his value on the defensive line. He is dynamic and explosive with versatility which Jeremiah believes could make him a first-round pick.
