Scouts and NFL-associated persons of varied repute talked about their impressions of the first day of the Senior Bowl practices, and both Audie Cole and T.J. Graham made some positive impressions. (Though Graham did have his share of drops, according to this account from the Philadelphia Eagles website.)

NC State WR TJ Graham has real impressive speed and runs better routes then first anticipated. 5'11 183lbs. Could turn into a nice slot guy

TJ Graham continues to impress. Made a nice catch in traffic, running good routes. Can tell he's got 4.4 or faster speed.

Another NC St. LB, Audie Cole is a hardnosed kid that flows well tackle to tackle.

#Vikings coach Mike Singletary took a liking to #NCState LB Audie Cole, coached him up similar to Patrick Willis when he was down here

Names who stood out today: Chris Polk, Audie Cole, Russell Wilson (lot of zip on this one), Mike Adams.

Mayock on #Wisconsin QB Russell Wilson: "Could be Doug Flutie. I mean, that's how good this kid is. Innate understanding of making plays."

More Mayock on Russell Wilson: "He's a playmaker, I don't care how tall he is. He's got a good enough arm. ... That kid is special."
