Phil Savage

was stationed primarily in the end zone, watching Alabama players go through Wednesday's Pro Day while providing ongoing analysis on RollTide.com.

A color analyst on the Crimson Tide Sports Network and the executive director of the Senior Bowl, Savage worked in the NFL from 1991-2012, including four years as the senior vice president and general manager of the Cleveland Browns.

Here is Savage's take on which Alabama Pro Day participants helped their draft stock and which ones did not:

THE GOOD

Safety Nick Perry (6-foot-1, 201 pounds)

CBS Sports round projection: Undrafted free agent

Unofficial 40-yard dash time: 4.62 seconds

Bench press reps: 7

Vertical jump: 32 1/2"

Broad jump: 9'8"

Savage: "I thought that Nick Perry, who was a non-combine invite, that he ran a little faster than he did a year ago [at Alabama's Junior Pro Day]. I think he posted a time in the 4.6s, which I think really helps him. I think scouts like him as a player. They love his intangibles, the fact that he was a signal caller in the back end, so I thought [the Pro Day] helped him."

Tight end Brian Vogler (6-foot-7, 262 pounds)

CBS Sports round projection: Undrafted free agent

Unofficial 40-yard dash time: 4.8

Bench press reps: 17

Savage: "At 6-foot-6 1/2, 262 pounds, he ran [a respectable time]. He seemed very motivated. And is there a place in the league for a size tight end, an end of the line blocker with some capacity to catch the ball? There probably is. I'm not sure either [Perry or Vogler] will be drafted. They could be. But if they're not, they've definitely solidified themselves as worthy free agents."

Wide receiver DeAndrew White (5-foot-11, 193 pounds)

CBS Sports round projection: Undrafted free agent

Unofficial 40-yard dash time: 4.34

Vertical jump: 36"

Broad jump: 10'1"

Savage: "DeAndrew White of course was at the combine, but he backed up virtually everything that he did at the combine and actually did a little better on some of his jumps, so I thought that was impressive to people. He had a solid workout."

Running back T.J. Yeldon (6-foot-2, 220 pounds)

CBS Sports round projection: Third round

Unofficial 40-yard dash time: 4.55

Savage: Some people had him in the 4.5s, so that probably helps his cause to a degree. I'm not sure exactly why he has not gotten a lot of attention this spring. He is a very good player. Two years ago when Georgia and Bama played in the SEC title game, you had Todd Gurley, Eddie Lacy and T.J. Yeldon on the same field at the same time, and you would have essentially put them all in the same boat almost. I think T.J. can really fit with whatever need a time has. He's a big enough back to be a first or second down runner. He's a good enough pass receiver out of the backfield and good in pass pro, solid enough in pass protection that he can play on third down. So I think he may gain a little bit more attention after the Pro Day.

THE BAD

Offensive lineman Leon Brown (6-foot-6, 320 pounds)

CBS Sports round projection: Seventh round or undrafted free agent

Unofficial 40-yard dash time: 5.9

Vertical jump: 20"

Broad jump: 6'11"

Savage: "He did not run well. He's a guard, so does it really matter? I don't know that it does. But he didn't jump very well. There may be a team or two out there that see him as a junior college transfer that maybe there's some upside there for a part-time player over the last two years at Alabama."

Defensive lineman Brandon Ivory (6-foot-3, 309 pounds)

CBS Sports round projection: Undrafted free agent

Bench press reps: 16

Savage: "He had to show more than just being a niche 3-4 nose tackle, but I don't think he necessarily distinguished himself as somebody that can do more than just be a plug in the middle of the defense."
