The Can't Miss Prospects at the Senior Bowl

There are a few prospects that I would just kill to have this year from the Senior Bowl:

DE Jared Odrick, Penn State
Odrick has been a force all week. He has excelled in the individuals drills. He has shown he can rush the passer and hold his own against the run. He has very good hand use. More importantly, he has all the tools necessary to be a dominant 5 technique DE for the Steelers. Sure we have Aaron Smith, Brett Keisel, and Ziggy Hood...but DEs are what makes the 34 defense work.

OL Mike Iupati, Idaho
Iupati has also made his presence known throughout the week. He has been a monster in the run game, dominating everyone he has gone up against. While he needs some work in pass protection, he even has the potential to kick out to OT. One of the talking draft heads said he can play every spot on the line as well. Scouts present have said that he looks like a ten year Pro Bowl caliber player. This line needs a dominant presense, and his ability to play all the line spots makes him super attractive.

OLB Brandon Graham, Michigan
Graham has been the most dominating defender at the Senior Bowl. He has super quick first step, complemented well by exceptional strength and good speed. He is relentless, and is a clone of LaMarr Woodley. I would kill for this team to have another LaMarr Woodley.

CB Kyle Wilson, Boise State
Wilson has excellent timed and closing speed, is exceptional is coverage, and has great hands. He the makings of a true lockdown CB. The Steelers need another CB who can step in soon and start. I also love his "take on the world" mentality.
