The Senior Bowl is in the books, which means the pre-draft overreactions are off and running.

Does the All-Star game boost draft stocks? Of course, though probably not as much as some indicate. And does it hurt others? Absolutely, though it’s still very early in the pre-draft process.

Saturday concluded the beginning of all of that. Never mind the fact that the South team dominated. More important than the result of the game is which players got a boost, and which players got a bruise from the week in Mobile.

Here are five former SEC players who fell into one of those categories.

3 who helped their stock

1. D.J. Chark, LSU WR

I hate to say that I told you so, but I did write this in the middle of last week:

And what did Chark do Saturday? He went off. His 160 receiving yards were a game high, which included a 75-yard touchdown catch. Turning 7 targets into 160 yards certainly turned some heads.

For those who saw Chark flash his potential in his senior season in Baton Rouge, Saturday’s co-MVP performance didn’t come as much of a surprise. Of course he was going to catch some deep balls with quarterbacks who could air it out. But even Chark came out and said that it was up there with the best games he’d ever played.

Chark will enter the next phase having shown his next-level speed, which shouldn’t put as much pressure on his 40-yard dash time. And with his ability to run end-arounds and play in the return game, that combination will make Chark a high-floor guy who should rise up draft boards.

Even if Chark isn’t viewed as an ace route-runner yet, there’s still plenty of upside for someone who stretches the field like that.

2. Isaiah Wynn, Georgia OL

Ohhhhh, so that’s why the Dawgs were so dominant running the ball all year. It turns out that Wynn is plenty capable of clearing some room up front (notice the handful of SEC defensive linemen he pushed around).

Yeah, we obviously knew Wynn was capable of that.

Wait, why didn’t any of those clips come from the game, you ask? Well, Wynn actually has been playing through a torn labrum. He practiced all week, but didn’t play in the game itself and is scheduled for surgery next week.

So with a torn labrum, Wynn still played at that level. Wynn, in the eyes of many, looked best offensive lineman in Mobile. If that’s what he looks like at less than 100 percent, teams are going to do whatever they can to try and snag him up on Day 2.

Can you blame them?

3. Oren Burks, Vanderbilt LB

What do you do when you don’t get an invite to the party until the last minute? You walk in and act like you own the place.

That’s what Burks did after he got the call to come to Mobile at the end of the week. All he did was show up and make plays.

Burks finished the game with 6 tackles, 2 of which were for a loss. For a guy who was probably playing catch-up from the moment he got to Mobile, that’s a pretty solid accomplishment. For anyone, that’d be a solid accomplishment.

Burks represented well in some atypical circumstances. His name popped up as a possible sleeper after he showed some impressive range on Saturday.

Burks passed his “baptism by fire” pre-draft test with flying colors.

2 who hurt their stock

1. JaMarcus King, South Carolina CB

King had the nice interception in the Outback Bowl, but his stock might’ve taken a bit of a hit in Mobile. The hometown kid didn’t have his best moment when he was burned deep on one of Chark’s long catches. That was a theme throughout the week with King.

The knock on him was that he struggled to stay with faster receivers deep. That’s not the knock you want on you if you’re a cornerback in the pre-draft process.

King did assist on an interception, and his first half was better than his second. The question NFL draft analyst Mike Mayock posed is if King is capable of being physical because his 6-0, 182-pound frame has potential.

The former Gamecock can still impress with his quickness, but he probably wishes he could have a few of those plays back.

2. Tray Matthews, Auburn DB

In the middle of last week, Matthews didn’t look like he’d be a guy who fell into this category. By all accounts, the hard-hitting safety had a solid week of practice, the highlight being this hit he laid on Rashaad Penny:

So what went wrong for Matthews? He was scratched off the Senior Bowl roster. It wasn’t publicly known why Matthews left, but by all accounts, he was planning on playing in the game. He talked about how excited he was to be getting another shot to take on Baker Mayfield after the 2017 Sugar Bowl didn’t go so well.

Still, Matthews was an unknown scratch Saturday. If that was health-related, he’ll have to try and prove that he’s 100 percent come combine time. Matthews was already going to have to deal with the whole “character issues” question for the way things ended at Georgia. To his credit, he handled that question well so far.

But for someone who was looking to make a big push up draft boards and show that he could play anywhere, Matthews’ absence might’ve just added another question to the list.
