Here are some players who either increased or decreased their <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-draft\/\" target=\"_self\">NFL Draft<\/a> stock during Day 3.<\/p>\n<h2>Here Is A Stock Report Of Six Players Whose NFL Draft Position Either Rose Up Or Fell Down After Day Three At The Senior Bowl.<\/h2>\n<h2>Stock Up<\/h2>\n<h3>WR Arian Smith, Georgia<\/h3>\n<p>Smith has been one of the most consistent players on either team this week and had a statement finish to his week. He\u2019s seemingly always open in one-on-ones and has found ways to win at all levels. His reps have come against a slew of different corners and have shown impressive adaptability. He had some inconsistency in his Georgia tape, but the arrow is pointing straight up after his day in Mobile.<\/p>\n<p>Potential Team Fit: <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/vikings\/\" target=\"_self\">Minnesota Vikings<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>DL Darius Alexander, Toledo<\/h3>\n<p>Alexander was a one-man wrecking crew in the team periods today. He obliterated multiple run plays and lived in the backfield on pass plays. The Toledo product forced a few \u201csacks\u201d and made his presence known with his play and with his mouth. His loud trash talk was visibly impacting the offense\u2019s processing too. He was far and away one of the best players on the field during the last practice session.<\/p>\n<p>Potential Team Fit: <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/falcons\/\" target=\"_self\">Atlanta Falcons<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>TE Mason Taylor, LSU<\/h3>\n<p>Taylor was as rock solid as they come on the final day of practices. He was a smooth mover in team sessions and had some really nice reps in red zone simulations. Consistency has been his defining trait in his time at LSU and that stayed true through the week. His calm demeanor and strong and reliable hands at the catch point will make him a coveted prospect for teams needing tight-end help.<\/p>\n<p>Potential Team Fit: <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/broncos\/\" target=\"_self\">Denver Broncos<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>DB Azareye\u2019h Thomas, Florida State<\/h3>\n<p>The defensive side of the ball in National Team practice had a stranglehold over the offense and Thomas was among the top players. He was dominating everyone he faced and <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/mason_kinnahan\/status\/1884998131831411166?s=46&amp;t=GdPH6IqCR0l4qpph_u8MNg\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">didn\u2019t give up anything in <\/a>one-on-ones. His lockdown performance carried throughout team drills as well. His side of the field was rarely targeted in the red zone. The Seminoles\u2019 star corner has steadily improved as the week has progressed and capped it off with a fantastic showing Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>Potential Team Fit: <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/patriots\/\" target=\"_self\">New England Patriots<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Stock Down<\/h2>\n<h3>RB Ollie Gordon II, Oklahoma State<\/h3>\n<p>Gordon II\u2019s 2024 season was far below the lofty expectations many placed on him, and it\u2019s fair to say he hasn\u2019t particularly stood out in Mobile. He wasn\u2019t noticeably bad, but he didn\u2019t show the explosiveness and athleticism that made him a projected top pick after 2023. He should test well and end up being selected decently high, but he still hasn\u2019t regained that 2023 form.<\/p>\n<h3>DB Sebastian Castro, Iowa<\/h3>\n<p>Castro has been dealt a tough hand in the one-on-one sessions with matchups against some shifty wideouts. He\u2019s had a rough time staying sticky in man coverage and was a step behind a few times in team red zone drills. His week in Mobile has been filled with highs and lows but he ended the last day of practice on a bit of a sour note.<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo: [Vasha Hunt] &#8211; USA Today Sports<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here Is A Stock Report Of Six Players Whose NFL Draft Position Either Rose Up Or Fell Down After Day Three At The Senior Bowl.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5364,"featured_media":213893,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"no","_lmt_disable":"","sfio_featured_image":false,"sfio_embed_code":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1647],"tags":[32605,33014,1173,33205],"class_list":["post-213776","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl-draft","tag-2025-nfl-draft","tag-mason-taylor","tag-nfl-draft","tag-senior-bowl"],"modified_by":"Michael Zimmelman","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/213776","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5364"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=213776"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/213776\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":213894,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/213776\/revisions\/213894"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/213893"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=213776"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=213776"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=213776"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
