Here is a few players this blogger wanted to focus on during the Senior Bowl.

Noel Devine, RB, West Virginia - Devine would certainly help fill that need for overall team speed, wouldn't he? The kid has blazing speed, quickness, and agility. His burst through the hole is really exceptional. And despite his size, he plays tough. But his size is a concern. He weighed in at just 5'7, 160 pounds in Mobile - about twenty pounds lighter than many expected. But the electrifying little tailback is fun to watch and will have a role on an NFL team. The question is how big that role might be.

Derrick Locke, RB, Kentucky - I feel like Locke might be getting overlooked by many as the draft process begins. But Locke is going to be an interesting player at the next level. He possesses excellent speed (likely sub 4.4) and can change directions on a dime. He also has the ability to make plays in the passing game thanks to his very good hands. Those same reliable hands make him a legitimate option as a return man at the next level - another gaping hole the Dolphins have. His lack of ideal size (5'8, 186), though, is a concern. Keep an eye on Locke not just this week but in the weeks to follow.

Luke Stocker, TE, Tennessee - It's hard to judge a tight end with just 85 career catches in college. But Stocker's style of play is impressive when you see some of the plays he has made. At 6'4, 255, Stocker is a willing and able blocker who, despite great speed, knows how to run good routes to get open. He's also regarded by some as having some of the best hands in the draft. I'm going to be interested to see how he performs day in and day out in practice when he has some opportunities in the passing game.
