* One of the biggest stories of Thursday was the players who didn't participate in practice for a variety of reasons. Standout Oregon offensive lineman Jackson Powers-Johnson, offensive tackle Taliese Fuaga, wide receivers Roman Wilson and Ricky Pearsall, cornerback Quinyon Mitchell and pass rusher Laiatu Latu all missed practice.
* Gabe Hall put an exclamation point on a strong week of practice with multiple wins in 1-on-1 pass-rush matchups. Hall looks the part at 6-6 and 290 pounds and flashed pass rush ability throughout the week.
* Oregon cornerback Khyree Jackson has impressive size at 6-3 and 203 pounds. He deflected a pass intended for Devontez Walker during red zone drills, preventing a touchdown capping off a strong day of practice.
* Rutgers cornerback Max Melton had tight coverage on Luke McCaffrey (son of Ed McCaffrey) in the end zone forcing a high throw from Michael Pennix. A couple plays later, Pennix made a nice through up and away from the defender to McCaffrey running along the back of the end zone after he was flushed out of the pocket to his left.
* In the same red zone team drills, Notre Dame quarterback Sam Hartman ran it in for a touchdown when he couldn't find anyone open in the end zone. His teammates erupted in cheers, making it obvious they are fond of the signal caller.
* In 7-on-7 red zone drills, Bo Nix threw three straight touchdown passes to Western Kentucky wide receiver Malachi Corley, USC wide receiver Brenden Rice (son of Jerry Rice) and North Carolina wide receiver Devontez Walker.
* At the end of the National practice, they ran two plays of team competition at the goal line. On the first play, Notre Dame cornerback Cam Hart knocked away a Bo Nix pass.
* In the America practice, Georgia wide receiver Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint made one of the best catches of the week during individual drills with no defense, reaching one hand up into the air and snatching it with one hand in Odell Beckham Jr. fashion. He has good size at 6-1 and 205 pounds and has been consistent this week catching the football.
* Alabama defensive tackle Justin Eboigbe had a good day of practice, winning a 1-on-1 rep with a push-pull move, using the offensive lineman's forward lean against him to pull him to the ground, giving him a free run at the quarterback.
* Miami guard Javion Cohen had more good reps after playing well earlier in the week after measuring at 6-4 and 319 pounds.
* Louisville cornerback Jarvis Brownlee Jr. was one of the few players able to stay with Ladd McConkey in coverage, preventing a completion and staying with him on his route. Brownlee, who measured at 5-10 and 183 pounds, has been solid much of the week and looks capable of playing the nickel in the NFL.
* It's no surprise that Georgia safety Javon Bullard can cover at 5-10 and 197 pounds, but his willingness to fill in the run game has been impressive this week, often making plays and "thudding" running backs at the line of scrimmage. Bullard also had a pass break-up covering Florida State tight end on a pass over the middle.
* Kansas State tight end Ben Sinnott was hard to cover during red zone team portions of practice. At 6-4 and 254 pounds, he was too physical for smaller defenders, using his strength to create space. He also flashed some route running to get open in some short areas. He was also used as a fullback and H-back at Kansas State this season.
* As a group, the quarterbacks have shown improvement each day, which is to be expected as they not only become more comfortable with an NFL offense (including receiving plays via their helmet system and calling that play in a huddle) but also a group of wide receivers they have never thrown to before.
* Some of Spencer Rattler's throws did stand out, including a perfectly times and accurate "out" throw to his teammate at South Carolina, wide receiver Xavier Legette. He stands only 6 feet tall, but Rattler can spin the ball as well as anyone in Mobile. Tennessee Joe Milton III certainly looks the part at 6-5 and 235 pounds.
* I also want to give a shout-out to South Alabama quarterback Carter Bradley, who is the least recognized name of the group here but was as consistent as any of the other quarterbacks.
* Overall, the group of players at the Senior Bowl have been as impressive as advertised. In the various mock drafts I've seen, there could be as many as 12 first-round draft picks that participated in the Senior Bowl. Those players either met or exceeded expectations.

Here are my overall notes from the week:
Defensive Front
* Laiatu Latu showed off his advanced pass rush repertoire even if he doesn't wow with his physical profile or athleticism. He started a little slow on Tuesday but played better Wednesday and was winning consistently.
* Missouri defensive lineman Darius Robinson was winning 1-on1 reps all week long. At 6-5 and 286 pounds, he won at end and tackle with a combination of strength, athleticism and a strong pass rush plan.
* Texas defensive tackle T'Vondre Sweat did not weigh in, but no one needed to see a number to know he is a huge man that can move offensive linemen.
* Ohio State's Michael Hall and Florida State's Braden Fiske were athletic undersized three-techniques that constantly showed off their explosiveness to get into the backfield.
Offensive Line
* Oregon interior offensive lineman Jackson Powers-Johnson dominated at center and guard, showing off his power at 334 pounds in tandem with his quick feet and strong technique.
* Offensive tackles Taliese Fuaga, Tyler Guyton, and Kingsley Suamataia didn't appear to do anything to dispel the first-round hype around their play throughout three days of practice.
Wide Receiver/Running Back/Tight End
* USC running back Marshawn Lloyd's change of direction was impressive and stood out amongst running backs. Marshall's Rasheen Ali showed up in the pass game before tearing his bicep on Wednesday.
* Michigan's Roman Wilson and Georgia's Ladd McConkey were difficult to cover all week long, showing off their quickness and route-running ability. UNC's Devontez Walker got open consistently. Ricky Pearsall was also often open and had reliable hands.
Linebacker
* It's hard to judge linebacker play in practice, but Payton Wilson seemed to be in the middle of a lot of plays.
Defensive Backs
* Quinyon Mitchell was tough to beat in coverage the entire week, and he was able to locate the ball. He not only knocked passes away, but also intercepted some passes in practice.
