At Senior Bowl weigh-in circus, all that matters are the numbers

...

While the weigh-in highlights the most ridiculous aspects of the pre-draft process, the rest of Senior Bowl week actually provides the best window into whether these guys can actually play football at the highest level. Practicing in pads with representatives of every team watching provides the ultimate motivation and opportunity. For those who take advantage of it, the financial rewards can be considerable. Still, those considered the best of the best aren't here, either because they feel they have nothing to prove or because they worry they could harm their stock. Some are correct. For example, Alabama guard Chance Warmack should handle every pre-draft interview the same way. He should walk in, hand team officials a DVD of the Crimson Tide's 2012 season and walk out.
