In the past few days, the sports world has been turned upside-down with the Luka Dončić-Anthony Davis trade followed by Myles Garrett's trade request from the Cleveland Browns. Not getting lost in the zeitgeist, NFL prospects did their best during the previous week to make a good yet final on-field impression for league evaluators as part of Shrine and Senior Bowl festivities.

Their draft stocks could have experienced increases or decreases throughout the week. Granted, all-star events are only part of an evaluation. At the same time, they're the first real opportunity for teams to interview prospects and see how they react to NFL coaching. Plus, the overall level of competition rises for everyone involved. These things are important.

The Bleacher Report Scouting Department made sure to keep apprised of all the happenings to provide their latest rankings, with the latest events being factored into the group's grades.

Quarterbacks

Scouted by Dame Parson

Most Accurate: Shedeur Sanders
Best Arm Strength: Cam Ward
Best Mobility: Jalen Milroe
Most Pro-Ready: Shedeur Sanders

1. Cam Ward, Miami (8.3)
2. Shedeur Sanders, Colorado (8.0)
3. Will Howard, Ohio State (7.5)
4. Jaxson Dart, Ole Miss (7.3)
5. Jalen Milroe, Alabama (7.3)

7. Quinn Ewers, Texas (7.0)
8. Riley Leonard, Notre Dame (6.5)
9. Dillon Gabriel, Oregon (6.5)
10. Kurtis Rourke, Indiana (6.1)

Explain the Grade: Jaxson Dart, Ole Miss

Dart possesses plus-level physical tools and traits to be a good NFL quarterback. Issues arise with how he sees the game.

Dart's processing is less than ideal coming out of Lane Kiffin's quarterback-friendly scheme. Better anticipation and timing on throws can maximize his physical abilities. He has the experience and natural ability to make this happen, but some development is definitely necessary after adjusting to the pro game.

Running Backs

Scouted by Dame Parson

Best Speed: TreVeyon Henderson
Best Power: Omarion Hampton

17. Brashard Smith, SMU (6.6)
18. LeQuint Allen Jr., Syracuse (6.6)
19. Kalel Mullings, Michigan (6.4)

Explain the Grade: Kaleb Johnson, Iowa

The 6'0", 225-pound Johnson is a good overall runner with a legitimate NFL build/frame. What he lacks in top-end speed and athleticism he makes up for with burst and acceleration.

Johnson runs hard downhill with nimble, quick footwork to navigate congested spaces. He is also a functional pass-catcher out of the backfield with soft, reliable hands.

Wide Receivers

Scouted by Dame Parson

Best Hands: Tetairoa McMillan
Best Route-Runner: Emeka Egbuka
Best Speed: Arian Smith
Best Slot Receiver: Tez Johnson
Most Pro-Ready: Tetairoa McMillan

1. Tetairoa McMillan, Arizona (9.0)
2. Tre Harris, Ole Miss (8.1)
3. Matthew Golden, Texas (8.0)
4. Emeka Egbuka, Ohio State (8.0)

15. Pat Bryant, Illinois (6.9)
16. Tai Felton, Iowa State (6.8)
17. Kaden Prather, Maryland (6.2)
18. Arian Smith, Georgia (6.0)

Explain the Grade: Matthew Golden, Texas

Golden is one of B/R's biggest risers through the current draft cycle and now sits squarely among the site's top 20 prospects.

His combination of speed, tempo, ball skills and route-running is among the class' best. Golden gets open and provides a dynamic yards-after-catch threat because he transitions from receiver to runner instantaneously.

Tight Ends

Scouted by Dame Parson

Best Receiver: Colston Loveland
Most Versatile: Tyler Warren
Best Blocker: Harold Fannin Jr.
Most Pro-Ready: Colston Loveland

1. Colston Loveland, Michigan (8.1)
2. Tyler Warren, Penn State (8.0)
3. Elijah Arroyo, Miami (7.8)
4. Harold Fannin Jr., Bowling Green (7.6)
5. Jake Briningstool, Clemson (7.5)
6. Mason Taylor, LSU (7.5)
7. Oronde Gadsden II, Syracuse (7.0)
8. Gunnar Helm, Texas (7.0)
9. Terrance Ferguson, Oregon (6.9)

Explain the Grade: Tyler Warren, Penn State

Warren is a fun and versatile tight end prospect. He does multiple things well, specifically as a zone-beater through and through. His best attribute is finding the soft spots, attacking them and getting upfield for yards after the catch.

However, the abilities to defeat man coverage and successfully run-block are the biggest concerns with Warren, which is why he's not TE1. Still, he's still a legitimate first-round talent and will be a potential weapon for some offense.

Offensive Tackles

Scouted by Brandon Thorn

Best Run-Blocker: Armand Membou
Best Pass-Blocker: Josh Simmons
Best Zone-Blocker: Armand Membou
Most Pro-Ready: Ozzy Trapilo
Most Versatile: Josh Simmons

1. Armand Membou, Missouri (7.9)
2. Josh Simmons, Ohio State (7.9)
3. Kelvin Banks Jr., Texas (7.8)
4. Josh Conerly Jr., Oregon (7.5)
5. Cameron Williams, Texas (7.4)
6. Ozzy Trapilo, Boston College (7.4)
7. Aireontae Ersery, Minnesota (7.3)
8. Marcus Mbow, Purdue (7.2)
9. Charles Grant, William & Mary (7.0)
10. Chase Lundt, Connecticut (6.8)
11. Ajani Cornelius, Oregon (6.8)
12. Anthony Belton, North Carolina State (6.5)
13. Jalen Travis, Iowa State (6.4)
14. Logan Brown, Kansas (6.2)
15. Jack Nelson, Wisconsin (6.2)

Explain the Grade: Armand Membou, Missouri

Membou is one of the youngest prospects in the class—he turns 21 years old in March—with a starter-level foundation of physical tools, including the length, athletic ability, and power to play tackle or guard.

Membou does need to clean up his aiming points in the run game to minimize losses across his face and boost his sustain skills. But he had the necessary body control and power to lift, drive and dump SEC defenders on the ground, which bodes well for his ability to transition to the NFL. He also has plenty of range to expand his set points and protect the corner on an island.

Membou missed the Senior Bowl because of an illness, which could have been an important opportunity to cement his draft stock. Still, he should have an impressive combine in terms of testing and interviews.

Interior Offensive Linemen

Scouted by Brandon Thorn

Best Run-Blocker: Will Campbell
Best Pass-Blocker: Will Campbell
Best Zone-Blocker: Will Campbell
Most Pro-Ready: Tyler Booker
Most Versatile: Grey Zabel

1. Will Campbell, LSU (8.4)
2. Tyler Booker, Alabama (7.8)
3. Grey Zabel, North Dakota State (7.6)
4. Tate Ratledge, Georgia (7.5)

13. Caleb Rogers, Texas Tech (6.8)
14. Dylan Fairchild, Georgia (6.6)
15. Jackson Slater, Sacramento State (6.5)
16. Jonah Monheim, USC (6.4)
17. Clay Webb, Jacksonville State (6.1)

Explain the Grade: Grey Zabel, North Dakota State

Zabel is coming off an excellent Senior Bowl, where he won the overall practice player of the week, as voted by his peers, thanks to a steady three days of practice with only a handful of losses throughout all periods.

The FCS product had starts at four of the five positions at North Dakota State, with starting center experience from high school. His versatility allowed him to rep at all three interior line spots with equal effectiveness in Mobile, Alabama. He even had a rep at right tackle that was a decisive win during a team period on Day 3.

With the size (6'5", 316 lbs), play-strength, athletic ability and renowned football character qualities needed to win a starting job as a rookie at multiple positions, Zabel solidified himself as a top-40 draft pick before the NFL combine has even taken place.

Defensive Linemen

Scouted by Matt Holder

Best Nose Tackle: Kenneth Grant
Best Pass-Rusher: Mason Graham
Best Run-Stopper: Mason Graham
Most Versatile: Walter Nolen

1. Mason Graham, Michigan (9.1)
2. Walter Nolen, Ole Miss (8.1)
3. Derrick Harmon, Oregon (7.8)
4. Kenneth Grant, Michigan (7.7)
5. Tyleik Williams, Ohio State (7.6)

12. Sai'vion Jones, LSU (6.3)
13. Darius Alexander, Toledo (6.3)
14. Joshua Farmer, Florida State (6.3)
15. Jordan Burch, Oregon (6.3)
16. Tim Smith, Alabama (6.2)
17. Aeneas Peebles, Virginia Tech (6.0)

Explain the Grade: Alfred Collins, Texas

Collins' strength at the point of attack is apparent, as he packs a mean punch to gain control of blocks. He's also good against double teams to be very effective as a run-defender.

However, the Texas product could have a hard time putting up big numbers as a pass-rusher since he lacks the explosiveness to win consistently with a bull rush and needs to improve his use of hands.

Similar to the Indianapolis Colts' Grover Stewart, Collins has the potential to be a great two-down defender at the next level and occasionally contribute on third downs.

Edge-Rushers

Scouted by Matt Holder

Best Speed-Rusher: Abdul Carter
Best Power-Rusher: Nic Scourton
Best Run-Stopper: Mykel Williams

12. Donovan Ezeiruaku, Boston College (7.1)
13. Ashton Gillotte, Louisville (7.0)
14. Kyle Kennard, South Carolina (6.9)
15. Josaiah Stewart, Michigan (6.6)
16. Tyler Baron, Miami (6.5)
17. Quandarrius Robinson, Alabama (6.4)
18. Kaimon Rucker, North Carolina (6.2)
19. David Walker, Central Arkansas (6.0)

Explain the Grade: Abdul Carter, Penn State

While Carter has been previously featured in this specific spot, he's continually ascended B/R's rankings throughout the entire process.

The Penn State product's athletic potential has always been apparent. Initially, his technique needed more refinement. He proved himself during the College Football Playoff by showing more ways to win as a pass-rusher than just a speed-rush and substantially growing as an overall edge-defender throughout the season.

Considering Carter has only spent one full year on the edge and is already picking up the tricks of the trade, it's easy to see why he's one of the class' best players and now in consideration for the No. 1 overall pick.

Linebackers

11. Jack Kiser, Notre Dame (6.7)
12. Cody Lindenberg, Minnesota (6.6)
13. Jamon Dumas-Johnson, Kentucky (6.3)

Explain the Grade: Jeffrey Bassa, Oregon

Bassa has the potential to become a complete linebacker in an NFL defense. He already has the movement skills and speed to excel in coverage, highlighted by a rep during Senior Bowl practice in which he carried speedy Oregon teammate Tez Johnson down the field on a vertical route.

While Bassa could afford to add some size and strength to be more stout in the running game, he's physical when taking on blocks and has shown solid instincts.

Size will be the first thing mentioned whenever Stout's name enters the discussion. At 5'8" and 178 pounds with sub-31-inch arms, the North Texas transfer has a future as a nickel and only a nickel at the NFL level.

While NFL teams prefer players capable of flexing to multiple positions, Stout has enough upside to develop into one of the league's best slot defenders.

While in attendance at the Senior Bowl, the first-team All-Conference USA defensive back showed excellent fluidity in his coverage and competed during every available rep. He made life difficult for receivers and caused them to work for everything, even if they had multiple inches and pounds on him.

Granted, Stout can get grabby against tougher assignments, which he'll need to curtail. However, the coverage ability is there to overcome any perceived shortcomings.

Explain the Grade: Sebastian Castro, Iowa

Castro is the latest in the line of Iowa defensive backs prepared to play in the NFL. The Hawkeyes may not always be the most exciting or successful squad, but the program is definitely a pipeline to the professional ranks.

A season prior, Cooper DeJean played outside corner for the squad. But the Philadelphia Eagles have primarily used him as a slot defender. Castro is listed as a safety, though he technically played the leo-cash position in Iowa City. Most of his time was spent playing over the slot during the past three seasons.

So, matchups against tight ends and shifty targets weren't anything new at the Senior Bowl and it showed. Castro may not be the most explosive athlete in coverage, but he's experienced, understands his assignments, and regularly finds himself in a position to make plays. He did so twice during the all-star game with a forced fumble and fantastic open-field tackle against quarterback Jalen Milroe on a fourth-down play.
