2008 NFL Draft Stock Watch

Here's a consensus from ten sources of the prospects who did the most to improve or hurt their draft status during Senior Bowl week. My tally (the number to the left of the player names below) is drawn from various "risers and sliders" type of articles, as referenced in the sources.

One of the surprising things here is Leodis McKelvin with two "falling" mentions from a couple of respectable sources. From what I saw McKelvin solidified his standing as a first-round pick; I even jumped him ahead of South Florida cornerback Mike Jenkins in my position rankings, and took him from the twenty-second pick to the tenth in my mock draft. I'm also surprised Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie (DRC) didn't garner more positive notice as he clearly will jump from late-second/early-third round status to late-first/early-second. Similarly, Trevor Laws showed that he's a force to be reckoned with and moved himself up from a fifth or sixth round pick to a third or fourth rounder. I hope to add more thoughts to this tomorrow night.
