Ive been reading the senior bowl practice articles from this week on: http://www.nfldraftcountdown.com/features/seniorbowl/reports/south124.html

Everyone loves Manny Lawson. Marcus Hudson and T.J. Williams are looking pretty good too. Heres the article for anyone who wants it:

Now for the sightings and observations. It was real refreshing to see Bill Belichick in attendance. Even though he is a Hall of Famer and at the pinnacle of his profession he is still working hard and doing the little things while some head coaches don't even bother to come to Mobile. There is a reason this guy wins so many Super Bowls. The Cleveland Browns paid a lot of attention to Marcus McNeill and had him cornered for a very long time, while also speaking with Ryan Cook, Roman Harper, Kelly Jennings, Kamerion Wimbley, Freddie Roach, and DeMario Minter. Carolina was active once again and I saw them talking to Darrell Hackney, Albert Toeina, Andre Hall, Cedric Griffin, and Greg Blue. Eric Winston was seen chatting with the Jets and Chargers, Gerris Wilkerson of Georgia Tech talked to Carolina and Philly and Tampa Bay spoke with Mark Anderson (at length) and Thomas Howard. Travis Williams was pretty popular, drawing attention from Baltimore, Cincinnati and the Giants, Marcedes Lewis spoke with San Diego, D.J. Shockley with Miami and the Jets mingled with Max Jean-Gilles and Jesse Mahelona. Kansas City spoke with Jon Scott and DeMario Minter for a bit while the Redskins were seen with Tim Jennings and the Chargers with Kamerion Wimbley and Max-Jean Gilles.
The most popular player I have seen yet though is Manny Lawson, who had a huge group around him at all times that included the likes of Kansas City, Cleveland, Carolina, Baltimore and San Diego. Lawson also sounded like a great kid and was very polite and well spoken. As always don't take these observations as locks that these teams are going to take the players, but they can sometimes give indications as to which positions they might be focusing on. All in all this was probably the most active practice yet and was a lot of fun to watch and observe.

Everything I've read says TJ Williams looks like garbage and will be lucky to get drafted...He has dropped tons off balls and gets pancaked trying to block.

that would be awesome if carolina could somehow get their hands on manny lawson

Marcus looked good at corner but looked confused at safety, as expected. All three have been reported to appear very well coached. Manny being such a hit doesn't suprise me, His athletic ability and personality makes him really popular at events like this. One chat has him gone as early as 12 but if his momentum carries over, he won't last till the 2nd round

Manny will get drafted in the first round...

maybe carolina can either take him w/ their pick or trade up for another pick and nab him along with a tight end or somethin
