Terry Wright, another ridiculously fast WR.

No Keesean Johnson
I would think they'd meet with Baity, tho he has looked disappointing from what I've seen so far.
Read we also met with defensive linemen Derick Roberson and Daylon Mack
Some more Shrine breakdown.

http://www.optimumscouting.com/news/east-west-shrine-game-day-2-practice-notes

-LSU running back Nick Brosette proved again on day 2 that he is the best power running back here. Not only did he power through tacklers and fight for extra yards each play, Brosette was also a willing and effective blocker. The former Tiger was also busy out of the backfield showing smoother hands than shown on film and will continue to round out his game if his receiving ability continues to improve



-Terry Godwin put on an absolute clinic in route running throughout the entire second day of practice. His quick footwork and timing created separation wherever he lined up on the field. Along with Custis and our Day 1 Winner DeMarkus Lodge, the East team is loaded at the receiver position that seem to get better each day with more familiarity with their new quarterbacks



KeeSean Johnson was the busiest West team receiver catching over 10 passes throughout 2 team periods. Working on the perimeter, Johnson broke off hitch after hitch leaving corners 3 yards behind with crisp footwork and excellent timing. Without the ideal strength or frame to exclusively play on the outside, I'd like to see him work more from the slot


Georgia's Lamont Gaillard continues to be the best center at the Shrine Game, and his ability to move upfield and remain in control, winning with hands and finishing downfield is highly impressive. His lack of elite measurables, but he's looked the part of a quality NFL zone blocking lineman.


Sam Houston State's Derick Roberson is shorter and bit undersized, but he continues to be the best speed rusher at the Shrine Game, and it's clear how he was able to be so productive. He frustrated most of the bigger, longer offensive tackles in isolation drills, but even flashed during team run and team pass drills. He's not for every scheme, but has the motor and quick twitch to be a rotational rusher.



Our top rated corner at the Shrine Game, Michael Jackson of Miami had a strong second day, playing with plenty of physicality in full pads and stifling receivers at the line. Jackson has prototypical size and frame at 6'2" and 205 pounds and demonstrates elite instincts and tackling ability. The former Hurricane also showed tons of range and certainly is athletic enough to offer versatility as a run support safety as well as traditional corner

Purdue's Terry Wright is one of the smaller receivers at the game but plays consistently big in the middle of the field. With high-end speed and reaching his top speed quickly, Wright catches and works upfield at a remarkably high level, finishing openings in defenses with soft hands and a controlled lower half. He'll likely earn a heavier workload as more quarterbacks than just his former teammate David Blough starts to really get comfortable with him.

Lamont Gaillard had an equally impressive day but plays with a very different style than Stallings. Gaillard is tremendously agile and moves decisively to the next level where he clears the second level with ease. Gaillard was making textbook zone blocks on the move all day using lateral mobility and body control.

Sounds like he definitely will be on the 49ers radar.

Tulane's Donnie Lewis has earned strong reviews from NFL scouts, enough that I wouldn't be surprised if he earns a Senior Bowl call-up if there's an injury. He played well today, but he carries himself and has the bend and decisive steps of an NFL cornerback, outside or inside, and should test these West quarterbacks (Stick and Rypien most notably) all week long.

Paul Adams, OT, Missouri: An underrated lineman despite playing in the SEC, Adams projects as a starting right tackle at the next level. He possesses the requisite toughness and size to handle NFL defenders, and he can move well enough to be effective as a zone blocker. Even if Adams does not get selected until Saturday of draft weekend, he'll play early.
Jordan Brailford, DE/LB, Oklahoma State: Though he was a junior in terms of eligibility when he left OSU, Brailford was a fifth-year player due to two redshirt seasons. He played all over the field for the Cowboys in 2018, lining up at both ends and all three linebacker positions. Brailford's best spot is as a pass rusher, which is always in short supply come the second or third round of the draft. A strong week using his length and consistent motor to attack quarterbacks off the edge in St. Pete will cement his stock as a worthy second-tier prospect.
Blace Brown, CB, Troy: Despite suffering a knee injury in the final regular-season contest of the 2017 season, Brown played in every game as a senior. He has a chance to show he's fully back from the injury during Shrine Game practices, and that his ball skills (12 career interceptions, including one that sealed Troy's upset win over LSU two seasons ago) and physicality are worthy of a mid-round selection.
Jordan Ellis, RB, Virginia: Rookie running backs can make an impact in the right situation. Ellis might not be a big name nationally, but he will hit the line in a hurry and power through tacklers to get important yards. He's also a willing blocker who can pick up oncoming blitzers, which means he could see the field on second and third downs more often than a typical rookie.
Justin Hollins, LB, Oregon: Long and lean at 6-foot-5, Hollins looks the part of a Sam linebacker. While not elite in his pass-rush ability, he will get after the quarterback with a secondary rush. He also sets the edge effectively in the run game and is able to shed to wrap up ball carriers coming into his area. Proving to scouts he possesses the agility to handle coverage responsibilities will earn him the respect he deserves.
Michael Jackson Sr., CB, Miami (FL): Entering the 2018 college season, Jackson was expected to be among the top senior corners in the country. It's a bit of a surprise that he's at the Shrine Game, as he has the size and length (6-1, 205 pounds) to be an effective press corner at the next level. If Jackson shows better foot quickness and ball skills than expected this week (and if he excels at the NFL Scouting Combine), he could compete for a top-80 selection.
Donnie Lewis Jr., CB, Tulane: Lewis is a tough-minded corner who, while lacking great size, is not afraid to mix it up with any receiver. Opposing quarterbacks who looked his way at the start of a play often had to go to their second option because Lewis was in his man's pocket.
Delvon Randall, S, Temple: Opposing offenses had to account for Randall on every play over the past three seasons. He was a physical player against the run, pounded ball carriers in coverage, wrapped up guys in space and posted 12 interceptions -- including a spectacular one-handed grab against South Florida in November.
Matt Sokol, TE, Michigan State: Pay no attention to Sokol's receiving statistics in 2018 (eight receptions, 100 yards, one score). While not as dynamic an athlete as former Iowa Hawkeye and current San Francisco 49ers star George Kittle, Sokol is similar in that he has more receiving talent than his college production indicates. Sokol also has experience as a blocker in a pro-style system and can be a reliable move-the-chains pass catcher as a rookie.
Armon Watts, DT, Arkansas: Watts' best football is ahead of him. He did not contribute heavily with the Razorbacks until his senior season, but NFL scouts already see an athletic lineman able to wreak havoc anywhere between the tackles. Teams will be intrigued by the bend and agility he shows during Shrine Game practices, and coaches will find a way to get him on the field in sub packages as a rookie.

I seriously hope we take a look at both Roberson and Brailford. They seem like strong potential fits in our scheme.

I am not a fan of Michael Jackson Jr at all. Didn't like what I saw on tape. Maybe he'd be better at safety but I found him to be incredibly overrated at corner.
All the Shrine Game player measurements.

http://rotoworld.com/articles/cfb/85744/351/shrine-week-measurements

A few that caught my eye.


Terry Wright PurdueWR-511-1759 2/830 4/872 3/8

Taller than expected.


Khalil Hodge Buffalo LB 6011 255 1/831 3/875 5/8


He looks every bit of that 255.


Easton Stick NDSU QB 6013 217 4/831 7/876 1/8


Came in bigger and heavier than I expected.


Ryan Pope SDSU OT 6067 315 13/8 35 2/8 84 5/8


Really great size and length for Pope.
