Notes from Day 1 at Senior Bowl

Here what I saw in my first live look with any opinions as my own:

* Oregon State offensive tackle Kaliese Fuaga played to his reputation at the first practice of the week. He took all his snaps at right tackle and rarely lost a rep, showing good footwork and the power to dominate opposing rushers. Once he gets his hands on a rusher, they rarely escape, including one rep where he forced the most decorated pass rusher in Mobile, Laiatu Latu, to the ground. At 6-foot-6 and 332 pounds with 33 3/8-inch arms, he is projected as a top 20 pick by many analysts.

* As well as Fuaga played, he was not as dominant as Oregon interior offensive lineman Jackson Powers-Johnson. Powers-Johnson did not only win his reps, but he dominated them with a powerful punch, movement skills, and sound technique at both center and guard. At 6-foot-3 and 334 pounds, most project him as the first center off the board.

* Kingsley Suamataia started practice strong, showing good athleticism at right tackle, but lost some reps to Latu towards the end of practice. At 6-foot-4 and 329 pounds with 34 ¼-inch arms, he has all the raw tools and is projected as a late first-round pick by most analysts.

* Roger Rosengarten also played exclusively right tackle and showed the footwork necessary to ride rushers around the quarterback. Fellow tackle Jordan Morgan took snaps on the left side and measured in with 32 7/8-inch arms. Illinois’ Isaiah Adams took snaps at guard and tackle and impressed by showing power and toughness. Florida center Kingsley Eguakun was also noteworthy.

* Latu measured in at 6-foot-5 and 261 pounds with 32 ½-inch arms.

* Duke defensive tackle DeWayne Carter showed off his quickness to get upfield and was disruptive throughout practice at 6-foot-2 and 308 pounds.

* Western Michigan edge rusher Marshawn Kneeland measured in at 6-foot-3 and 268 pounds but flashed the athleticism of a smaller man with wins during the 1-on-1 period and team drills.

* At wide receiver, Michigan’s Roman Wilson stood out, showing the ability to win over the top with his speed and in the intermediate areas of the field with his quickness and route-running ability.

* USC running back Marshawn Lloyd is only 5-foot-9, but he weighs 217 pounds and is an impressive athlete. He made more than one move in space today that left defenders looking silly.

* Toledo cornerback Quinyon Mitchell looked like the best…
