2011 Senior Bowl.

Colorado LT Nate Solder's arms measured 35 inches at Monday's Senior Bowl weigh-in.
They're exceptionally long arms, boding well for Solder's ability to stay at left tackle in the pros. A former tight end (he started four games there as a freshman), Solder combines terrific athleticism with ideal size at 6'9/315. He's considered the top draft-eligible tackle prospect in some circles.

Wisconsin OT Gabe Carimi's arms measured 35 1/4 inches at Monday's Senior Bowl weigh-in.
Some projections have had Carimi kicking to right tackle in the pros after succeeding Joe Thomas for the Badgers. Perhaps that will be the case, but not because he lacks the length for the blind side. In terms of arm length, anything over 35 inches is pretty freakish. He's a likely first-round pick.

Boston College OT Anthony Castonzo's arms measured 35 1/4 inches at Monday's Senior Bowl weigh-in.
The 2011 offensive tackle class has been knocked as underwhelming, but it certainly doesn't lack outstanding length. 6-foot-7 and 310 pounds with ideal arms, Castonzo started a whopping 54 games for B.C. He's widely projected as a right tackle in the NFL, but does not lack left tackle-caliber size.

TCU QB Andy Dalton measured exactly 6-foot-2 at Monday's Senior Bowl weigh-in.
Deceivingly listed at 6-foot-3 by the Horned Frogs, Dalton was previously rumored to be in the 6-foot-1 range, so the measurement is ultimately good news. While he does come up short of "ideal height," it's not enough to severely hurt his stock. Dalton is picking up steam as a potential second-day pick.

The South is stacked with QB's... Greg McElroy, Andy Dalton, Christian Ponder.. Will be interesting to see what Ponder does considering the way his season ended, he needs a good game.

Noel Devine- RB - West Virginia: Measured in a 5-7, 160lbs... Twenty pounds less than his listed weight. I knew Devine would come up small, but that's TINY by NFL standards. I still think he gets a chance in the NFL as a return man, though.

DeMarcus Van Dyke- CB - Miami(FL): Measured in a 6-0 3/4, 168lbs... I noticed he was frail looking at the East West Shrine game, but I didn't think he would weigh in THAT small. That's tiny for an NFL cornerback.

Quinton Carter - S - Oklahoma: Weighed in bigger than expected at 211 pounds and built like a linebacker.

Colin Kaepernick- QB - Nevada: Kaepernick was listed coming in at 6-6, but measured in at only 6-4 1/2. It's not a big issue as 6-4 is plenty tall, but it makes you wonder about his weight even more, as he's been described by many as a "toothpick" despite being 225lbs.

Greg Jones - LB - Michigan State: The Spartan linebacker measured in at just 5-11 and 240lbs, but was listed at 6-1 at MSU. He's shorter than expected, but he's still a stout backer.

Jeremy Beal- DE/LB - Oklahoma: Beal weighed in at 268 pounds, which is much bigger than I expected. Many see him as a 3-4 outside linebacker.

Mark Herzlich- LB - Boston College: Herzlich measured in at 6-3 and 250lbs, which is heavier than I expected. Very very good size on him as a linebacker in a 4-3 or 3-4 scheme.

Ryan Kerrigan- LB/DE - Purdue: Kerrigan, who spoke with the Jaguars yesterday came in at 6-3 255lbs, which is about where I expected. He'll need to add some bulk to be an every down end or possibly transition to outside linebacker.

Greg McElroy- QB - Alabama: McElroy measured in just under 6-2 which was shocking to me. I thought for sure he was about 6-4, will be interesting to see how his height effects his throwing lanes.

Brooks Reed - DE/LB - Arizona: Reed measured in at 6-2 and 257lbs, furthering the belief he'll likely move to outside linebacker for the NFL.

Kind of hard to believe Devine is so light. He's strong as fuck.

Rodney Hudson is also pretty small for a guard. About 6'2 290.

He'll probably translate better as a center at the next level.

I really wish I had NFL network.

The South will win. I think McELroy is a fine QB, he wasn't flashy or anything, but he did what his team needed him to do countless times.
