NFL Draft intel: Marshall edge-rusher's stock should skyrocket after he dismantled O-lineman at Senior Bowl

Apparently, Green felt like his work was done. Per ESPN's Field Yates, the pass-rusher will not play in the game on Saturday at 2:30 p.m. ET and is headed home to continue preparing for the draft.

Scouts probably would've liked to see Green — who led the FBS in sacks (17 in 13 games) this past season — play in the Senior Bowl, but opting out shouldn't affect his stock.

"Green entered the Senior Bowl with fringe-Round 1 buzz, and his performance Wednesday should help solidify himself as a Day 1 pick in April," wrote ESPN's Matt Miller Wednesday.

Alabama QB Jalen Milroe met with this AFC East team 

On Wednesday, Milroe told C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald that he had positive conversations with the Dolphins about their backup QB role.

Dolphins starting QB Tua Tagovailoa has been diagnosed with three concussions in five seasons with the club. With that in mind, Miami may consider drafting Milroe as a contingency plan. 

But the Dolphins must realize Milroe (6-foot-1, 220 pounds) will probably be a project. In 13 starts this past season, he tossed 16 touchdown passes and 11 interceptions.

On day two of Senior Bowl practices, The 33rd Team's Tyler Brooke listed Milroe as a faller, writing, "[His] inconsistency and erratic ball placement can be frustrating." 

Ole Miss QB Jaxson Dart seems to be answering key questions at Senior Bowl 

QBs who have played for Ole Miss HC Lane Kiffin, including Dart's predecessor Matt Corral, have struggled to learn NFL offenses. However, ESPN's Louis Riddick indicated that Dart (6-foot-1, 226 pounds) proves his success isn't a byproduct of Kiffin's QB-friendly system. 

"[Dart] has the mental horsepower to absorb this information," the former scout said Wednesday on "The Paul Finebaum Show." "When he's sure of the call, and everyone is doing their job, you see him doing the things he did at Ole Miss."

In three seasons at Ole Miss, Dart had the most passing yards (10,617) and second-most touchdown passes (72) in school history. 

In his latest mock draft with Nick Baumgardner, The Athletic's Scott Dochterman has the New York Jets taking Dart with pick No. 42 in the second round. Dart may climb draft boards if he has a solid showing on Saturday. 

Undersized Oregon WR looks 'unguardable' at Senior Bowl practices 

Oregon WR Tez Johnson was listed at 5-foot-9, 156 pounds, making him the third-lightest WR prospect in Senior Bowl history, via Pro Football Focus' Max Chadwick.

Johnson's size may be a red flag for some teams, but it hasn't looked like a concern at Senior Bowl practices. 

"Johnson has been unguardable, using lightning-fast explosiveness to avoid physical press coverage at the line of scrimmage before creating ample separation," wrote The Draft Network's Justin Melo on Wednesday. "He'll do the same thing at the next level."

Despite that, Johnson — who tied for 13th in the FBS in TD catches (10 in 12 games) — should still consider bulking up to improve his draft stock. According to Tankathon's projections, the Baltimore Ravens will select him with pick No. 91 in the third round.

Florida State defensive back Azareye'h Thomas may be helping himself more than any player at the Senior Bowl

Although Florida State went 2-10 in 2024, scouts shouldn't hold that against Thomas, who has made a strong impression at the Senior Bowl. 

"[Thomas] was the best player on the field today regardless of any position," The Ringer's Todd McShay said Wednesday on his podcast. "You talk about easy speed and flipping your hips. It was like child's play to him."

Thomas (6-foot-1, 191 pounds) is the prototypical size for an NFL DB and has solid coverage skills. Per PFF, he posted an above-average 77.9 coverage grade and allowed zero TD catches in 12 games in 2024.

In his latest mock draft, NFL Media's Daniel Jeremiah has the Baltimore Ravens taking Thomas with pick No. 27, which could be a wise choice. Baltimore's secondary needs upgrades after the Ravens finished second to last in the league in passing yards allowed (244.1) in the regular season.
