It’s that time of year again. The weather is getting warmer, the scouting combine is about to start, and the draft is just two short months away. Can you feel it, boys and girls? Mock Draft season is upon us. If you haven’t already, you should pause now to check out Albert Breer’s latest mock draft. Are you back? Good. Because, as mock draft mania kicks into high gear, we thought it would be a fine time to check in with Phil Savage, the executive director of the Senior Bowl, who spends all year studying prospects.
In this week’s edition of Talking Football, we talk with Phil about Saquon Barkley’s chances of going in the top five, the quarterback in this year’s class who reminds him of Tom Brady, the player to watch at the combine and the reason for the season: Phil’s take on all those mock drafts.
