Senior Bowl: Praise for Dwayne Harris

by Ryan Van Bibber on Jan 26, 2011 3:30 PM CST in 2011 NFL Draft

We've got some mid-day Senior Bowl action for your reading pleasure. It involved some reports from the North squad's mornign practice and includes a few players that the St. Louis Rams might be interested in for the 2011 NFL Draft, even one player that the Rams have already spoken with this week.

East Carolina receiver Dwayne Harris was one of the prospects that the Rams talked to this week, and he's getting some good reviews for his work today. Here's Doug Farrar on Harris in his mid-day report at the Shutdown Corner:

East Carolina receiver Dwayne Harris has been impressive all week - a real burner off the blocks and tougher than you might expect on a square-in

Harris was returning kicks and punts today. He wasn't without a few drops today some noted on Twitter.

The real standouts in Farrar's report are a couple of running backs from the state of Oklahoma: OU's DeMarco Murray and OSU's Kendall Hunter. Murray's getting Jamaal Charles comparisons already, and predictions of a third round pick might be short lived as the hype starts to build. He'd be a great partner to Steven Jackson, but would definitely eat into Jackson's carries. Hunter had his quickness on display, according to Farrar and others on the scene, and even showed an eagerness for blocking.

For all the talk about the Rams drafting a receiver, finding a complementary running back might be more exciting, intriguing at this point. It could really add another dimension to this offense.

I'd love to see us take a shot on Kendall Hunter

if he’s there in the 4th. He’s the kind of COFP RB that would change our offense…if McDaniels is interested.

You don't seem to want to accept the fact you're dealing with an expert in guerrilla warfare, with a man who's the best, with guns, with knives, with his bare hands. A man who's been trained to ignore pain, ignore weather, to live off the land, to eat things that would make a billy goat puke. In *St. Louis* his job was to dispose of enemy personnel. To kill! Period! Win by attrition. Well, *Steven Jackson* was the best.

My draft needs have completely morphed

because of the labor problem. I have no use for a WR anymore. It’s a luxury we can’t afford unless FA exists sometime this year. We need OG, OLB, DT, RB. rounds 1 through 4. We could double up on the OG and OLB and it wouldn’t hurt. We need too many other spots filled too.
I say this because I can ask, what if all our receivers ARE healthy this year? If all our players are healthy, those other needs still exist. I want a shutdown corner, a lurker rover type safety, and another ballhawking corner, along with moving Murph over to safety. As far as I’m concerne3d we have 3 DBs worth keeping, we have 5 WR worth keeping, although none are true #1s our QB makes up for that. I’d rather have 2 RBs than a WR.
Because of all this I have mocked a WR to us for the last time unless some how we wind up with at least 10 picks.
