I think Scout has Dora ranked as the 26th best DE. Anyone know how many DE's got drafted last year?

This may have already been posted, but the Senior Bowl Practice Recap is on the NFL network at 7:00 PM tonight. It's channel 212 on DirecTV.
BJ Kissel @ChiefsReporter 6h6 hours ago Louisiana Tech DL Vernon Butler putting on a show during OL/DL 1-on-1's. @mitchholthus would enjoy this. #SeniorBowl
Kenneth Dixon, RB, Louisiana Tech
He really stood out as a pass-catcher during Wednesday’s practice, consistently getting open in one-on-one and team drills. His route-running appears to be very advanced for a running back.
Dixon’s explosiveness, both as a receiver and as a runner, was on display all season long. He ranked fifth among draft-eligible running backs in breakaway percentage (49 percent of his yards came off of breakaway runs), first in yards per pass route run, and first in elusive rating, which measures how difficult a runner is to tackle. Even more encouraging for NFL teams thinking of him as a running back with third-down capabilities: He had just two drops in 2015, and allowed just five pressures on 142 pass-blocking snaps — the 13th-best rate in the nation.

Louisiana Tech defensive tackle Vernon Butler
continued his strong Senior Bowl. He used speed rushes to get the better of Washington State tackle/guard Joe Dahl on two reps. Butler easily walked back Iowa center Austin Blythe into the quarterback marker with powerful bull rushes. Butler is showing his special skill set and validating the early round projections.

"Ya Gotta Love it" Another of TMo's pics from the Senior Bowl. Holtz is Da Bomb!!
Proud of Vernon, Kenneth and Jeff at Sr Bowl
Check these latest 2016 Draft Class rankings out today guys.
18. Louisiana Tech DL Vernon Butler
Where He Wins: Butler moves differently than most interior defensive linemen. He can be slippery on counter moves or off the snap, even at 6’4/325 lbs. Butler has displayed the ability to win through his opponent and around them. Don’t go too far with this comparison, but Butler can win in the same ways as Mo Wilkerson.
28. Louisiana Tech RB Kenneth Dixon
Where He Wins: Has three down running back ability. Will maximize the yards blocked for him and then create on his own with strength or elusiveness. Also a good receiver out of the backfield, displaying sideline awareness and body control to adjust to difficult catches.

Very impressive. And I saw a report the other day that was forecasting Jeff Driskel to be a late 2nd round pick. Now....I'm not sure I believe that. Personally, I think Driskel is more suited for the 4th to 6th round, depending on everyone's needs, and how he checks out at the combine.
Interesting. That article has Driskel being drafted in the 4th round, and WKU QB Brandon Doughty in the 7th round.
Listening to commentators during Senior Bowl week Doughty was not rated very highly because of mechanics.
Good old Memorial Gym
