This year’s Senior Bowl event, played on February 3, was none like any other in recent history.

I have been watching and following the event for some time now, and, I mean this - I never saw the bevy of talent like there was in Mobile, Alabama this year. This was the most stacked roster of Senior Bowl players that I could remember in a long time. However, it was exciting to see these prospects compete and play one last game before they head to Indianapolis for the Scouting Combine.

This is a very intriguing draft class to study so far. Position groups such as offensive tackle and wide receiver are loaded at the top with terrific depth spread out among the rest. Other groups such as defensive backs, quarterbacks, and running backs are solid but don’t appear to be as top-heavy.

This edition of the DLF Scouting Notebook will focus on the fantasy-relevant positions and my observations from both rosters as to who helped best their dynasty and draft stock after the Senior Bowl.

National Roster

Quarterbacks

Bo Nix, Oregon

Michael Penix Jr, Washington

No real surprise here for these two. Both had their moments in Mobile and flashed their traits, but also showed the red flags and concerns that preclude them heading into the Combine. I think Nix is more likely to be the guy who sneaks into day one. Penix, in my opinion, is looking closer to a day two, early day three conversation where you just cross your fingers and hope can develop.

I am fading the hype on Penix. Even though I am a gambling man, I will let someone else take that bet.

Running Backs

MarShawn Lloyd, USC

Rasheen Ali, Marshall (Honorable Mention)
