The 2016 college football regular season has come to a close, with conference championships and then the bowl season set for the next month. Once the bowl games end, we move on to the first major part of the 2017 NFL Draft process. It starts with the all star games.
Teams have been scouting college prospects all season long, but the all star game is when the bulk of NFL fans begin to focus in more on the draft process. We have plenty of people who follow the draft on a week-in, week-out basis during the season, but for fans of the 49ers and other teams, the end of the regular season will mark a significant pivot.
The all star game process includes the East-West Shrine Game and NFLPA Collegiate Bowl on January 21, 2017, and the Senior Bowl on January 28, 2017. I think there are some other games, but those are the three most notable.
We’ll be tracking each of those three games, and for today, I thought I would start with the Senior Bowl. The game’s website is tracking accepted invites, but I thought I would split them up by position. The rosters are not complete yet, and I will update this list each week as new information arrives. This is updated as of Monday, December 5.
