The Top 67 Left on the Board, and beyond...

 

This Draft is a mess. Defensively the top three players are DT, if Austin comes out. However, offensively, the top prospects at each position suffer from serious injury or mental concerns. I dare anybody to come have the slightest idea what is going to happen.

*Jimmy Clausen- 6-4, 220         

QB

Notre Dame

Played great as a Junior last season, but I have no feel for where he could go either. Should battle Bradford for top QB slot right to April.

Sergio Kindle- 6-2 240,  

DE/OLB

Texas 

Lets see, a 6-4 passrusher who runs a 4.6, and has Belichick connections. Not really my cup of tea. For a super passrusher, when I watch him play he plays better against the run than gets near the QB? Had a great Bowl game, and displayed the pass rushing abilities everyone always claimed he had but I never saw. Now I'm completely confused. He also should explode at the combine where his great athleticism will be on display.

Terrence Cody- 6-6, 248, 5.6

NT

Alabama

I think Cody has more value as a Nose Tackle, but he will be a beast in the middle of whatever defense you put him in. But as we get closer and closer to the Draft I worry more and more about his weight.

He showed up at the Senior Bowl at 370 pounds, which limits his potential to a Two-Down Nose Tackle. I watched Alabama's first game of the season, and he could barely play. It was embarrassing. His habit of using the football season to get into football shape really worries me. However, in the NFL with training camp and 4 preseason games, it will hurt him less; Until the end of the season, which you have to think will be a disaster for him. In the first half of the season, he played in less than 1/2 the defensive plays, and less than 1/3 of the Pass Plays. However, he was double teamed almost 2/3 of the time. These are good stats for a 3/4 NT. Not so good for a DT. If he doesn't show up at the Combine at 350 or less, he could blubber his way out of the 1st Round.

*Emerson Griffen- 6-3, 270,      

DE/OLB

USC

Another favorite of mine to watch play. Super versatile USC D-End, lie Willie McGinest. Played most DE in 4-3, but also play 3-4 DE, and OLB in 3-4 and 4-3.

Lamarr Houston- 6-2, 302,  

DT 

Texas

Three-Technique Undertackle who played well at the Championship game, and at the Senior Bowl 

9.5

*Brian Price- 6-3, 320 

DT

UCLA 

Super strong big interior D-Lineman. Can be as disruptive as any DT in the Draft, but also seems to end up on the ground a lot.

9.5

7

*Golden Tate- 5-10.5, 199, 4.36, 17 Reps, 10'0",    

WR

Notre Dame 

Super dynamic speed WR. Looks a perfect ft for the Pats to me. He had a truly dominate Junior Season, and if he was two inches taller he would be a top ten pick. Even though Pats fans always whine about getting a big receiver, there system works best with smaller super-quick receivers like: Troy Brown, Deion Branch, and Wes Welker. Had terrible technique in 3-Cone drill. Has excellent feet. Was a Running back in HS, and has only played WR for three years. Has the receiving skills of a WR and the running skills of a RB with the ball in his hands (1:12 Zone). Super dynamic with the ball in his hands. Has worked his butt off at ND to become a legit NFL WR prospect. Shifty in the open field. Attacks the ball in the air. He has as aggressive ball skills.

9.5X

Roger Safford III- 6-4 5/8, 312, 33.25" Arms,  

OG/OT

Indiana 

Looks like he will make a Sebastian Vollmer-type leap up the draft board after a dominating Shiner's week. Had a great East West Shrine week, and coaches and scouts were very impressed by him. 

9.4

9

Charles Brown- 6-4, 295,  

OLT

USC 

He is a 1st Round talent, and will be taken in the 1st Round. Played a little injured this past season, and didn't look good early in the year. However, by the end of the season he was showing the feet and technique that made him a First Round prospect.

9.5

10

Taylor Mays- 6-3, 230

S

USC

Super athlete who really looked like he put it all together before he got injured.  

9.5

11

*Mardy Gilyard- 5-11.5, 185, 

WR/KR

Cincinnati

Third of the three super-fast/super-big-play specialists. It looks to me like when the Pats pick the best player on the board will be a WR or a TE. And the question is, can Belichick pass on Gresham, Bryant, Tate, or Gilyard for a Pass Rusher. Doesn’t always run the most precise routes. Dropped a lot of balls at Senior Ball practices. Needs work on his route tree. Didn’t run NFL patterns at Cincinnati. 

9.4

12

Vlad Ducasse- 6-4 5/8, 300, 34.75" Arms, 29 Reps  , 4.72 SS, 

OG/OT 

UMass

I watched him play three games this year, and don't let anyone tell you he is not a real prospect. Looked like a legit OLT prospect, but the level of completion was so low it was really hard too tell. Most scout have him as an OG prospect. I really am looking forward to seeing him in some all-star games.

*Bruce Campbell- 6-6 3/8, 314, 4.78, 34 Reps, 32", 37" Arms,   

OLT  

Maryland

Another super athlete who is still learning NFL skills. He is the most athletic OLT prospect in this Draft, but he does have a lot of work to do. Another guy who is going to explode at the Combine. Has terrific knee bend in his Kickstep. Plays with good form. Excellent patience in PP. Best athlete in the Draft, when you consider size as well. Smart guy. When he plays and stays low he is a force. When he gets a little high, he gets in trouble and the inconsistency that worries most scouts show. The more consistent he can get with his technique and the better leverage he plays with, the better NFL player he is going to be. He has All-Pro talent, he just has consistently played with great leverage and technique. Has only played in 26 games and started 17, so some of his inconsistency can be seen as lack of experience. However, in the drill he did not look as good as you would expect for such a freak athlete. Some people are questioning his mental toughness, and he finish one drill at the Combine.

Daryl Washington- 6-2, 229, 4.54,

Ultra thin LB, who doesn't take on blocks well, but he sure can fly around the field and make tackles.

Ricky Sapp- 6-4, 252, 4.61-4.62, 23 Reps, 34.5" Arms,  

DE/OLB 

Clemson

Another fast super athletic DE, who does seem to do much of anything when I watch him play. A chicken-with-his-head-cut-off player.

Slavish Capers- 6-5, 306, 34 3/4" Arms, 22 Reps, 5.08, 31", 8'-11'   

OT

West Virginia

Played ORT at WV, but was blocking White's blind side. Stayed at ORT for Senior season. Is trying to make the switch over to OLT, and is practicing there at Senior Bowl. Has the athletic ability to play OLT. Needs get stronger. Showed his great athleticism at Combine. Needs technique work, and to readjust to playing on the Left side. He might take a year or two before he is ready to be a starter.

Damien Williams- 6-2, 210,    

WR

USC

I didn't want to like this guy, because I have been fooled by USC WRs too much, but every time I watched him play he impressed me. Has good hands, good speed, and excellent quickness. He can weave through traffic like no one his size should be able to.

9.4

Nate Allen- 6', 207,

Every time I watch him play he looks vastly overrated, and then he comes up with big game changing play after game changing play. Super clutch performer who reminds me of Rodney Harrison.

Corey Wooten- 6-6, 298, Injury Concern

DE

Northwestern

Super athletic big man who has the size of DT and athleticism to play DE. He would be the top 3/4 DE prospect in the draft if for knee concerns.

21

Linval Joseph- 6-4, 328, 5.05, 39 Reps, 34.5" Arms, 

DE/DT 

TCU

Amazing size, speed, and strength athlete who is built like a prototype 3-4 D- End, some say he lacks desire. Conditioning has been an issue for him at ECU. However, some teams like him in  the 3rd Round, so don't surprised if he end up as a Second Day pick. Last season he garnered 3 Sacks, 13 TFL. he has the extra long arms coaches crave in a 3-4 D-End, 34.5” Arms. Big 3-4 D-End with very long arms. He looks like a D-End. In his career at TCU he garnered 143 T, 6.5 Sacks, and 29.5 TFL. A power D-End with some grace in his movements. Doesn’t always play in balance. Mike Mayock said that he "knew he won't make it out of the 2nd Round".

DE  

Florida 

Super athletic freak with Character Concerns. He shows virtually no NFL D-Linemen skills. Every time I watched him play he just ran at the QB and smashed into who got in his way. He is the top name on my KP list.  

9.4CC

23

Mark Tennant- 6-3 7/8, 290, 

OC

BC

Most underrated player in the Draft. Absolutely dominated at B.C. When BC played North Carolina he was the only linemen who could block Marvin Austin one-on-one. Against USC they stop lining up DT in front of him in the Second half on passing downs, because he destroyed everyone they put in front of him, especially Number 44. 

Continues to be underrated. Didn’t get a starting nod at Senior Bowl, but no one could beat him in drills, practice, or the game.

9.3

24

D'Anthony Smith- 6-2, 290, 30 Reps, 5.01, 35.5", 4.58 SS, 

DT

Louisiana Tech 

He is a 3-Technique DT who has some value as a NT. He is a hard player to categorize and holds a lot of assets team like and should go higher than most draftnics think.  

9.3

25

Colt McCoy- 6-1, Injury and height concern

QB

Texas

Reminds me of Drew Brees. Could go ahead of Bradford if everything doesn't work out his shoulder, or could fall into the 3rd Round. I like him in the Second, like Brees. He excels in the top four assets of a QB: winning, leadership, preparation, and accuracy.

*Arrelious Benn-  6' 7/8, 218, 4.40, 37.5", 4.32 SS, 10'1",

Illinois

Another super athlete with a truck load of physical talent, but no discernable NFL skills. He was worked out at Proday by the Pats, and Miami, Jets, browns, and Bengals.     

9.3

LSU 

Another Super athlete who played great every time I watched him play.

9.2

28

*Tobv Gerhart- 5-11 7/8, 231, 4.5

RB

Stanford

Great college football player who is a polarizing player. I think he has what it takes to play in the NFL. He follows blocks like Craig James and runs with the power of Eddie George. Runs with good speed, but what really sold me was his great quick burst to the outside that showed he has better athleticism than given credit.   

9.2

29

*Morgan Burnett - 6-1, 210, 4.46 , 39.5", 11' 0",   

FS

Georgia Tech

Good Safety, with good size, good hands, play the run, well, good.  

9.2

30

Alex Carrington- 6-5, 284,

DE

Arkansas ST

Looks like a 3-4 DE. Plus, has good size and some nice speed. He will go higher than people expect, because he showed he is a top 3/4 D-End prospect.  

9.2

31

George Selvie- 6-3, 249,      

OLB/DE

South Florida

A favorite player of mine who dominated everyone as a Sophomore, and seemed to get worse each season since. Seems to have completely lost the ability to get to the QB. Can still be a force against the run, and if he can regain his mojo he could be a great NFL passrusher. Looked better out in space in the LB drills than I thought he would. Maybe he can convert to OLB in a 3-4. He certainly needs something to turn around the mojo of the past two seasons. 

9.2

32

Jon Jerry- 6-5, 330      

OG/ORT

Mississippi 

Big strong interior mauler. Not the niftiest running out in space. Doesn’t look like he has the feet and hips to play OLT in the NFL.

9.2

Jared Veldheer- 6-7, 320, 32 Reps, 5.07, 

OT

Hillsdale Michigan 

This years Sebastian Vollmer? Nice quick feet. Looks smooth and natural running out in space. Looks like a smooth natural athlete. Good quick Kickslide, but will get off balance sometimes. Skinny legs.

9.2

34

Dennis Pitta- 6-4, 249,    

TE

BYU

Overaged TE prospect ho can really play has great hands and knows how to get open. 

Runs a nice Drag route, and can opens his hands and make a nice catch across his body. 83 Catches for .087 6 TDs. Is not the fastest guy, but catches every ball thrown towards him.  Just has that knack to get open. Knows how to find the gaps in the zones.  Tough guy. Can take the big hit and still hold onto the football. Super productive TE, who catches everything thrown his way.

9.2

35

Javier Arenas- 5-8, 195, 

CB/PR/ST

Alabama

Undersized CB with all world quickness. However, his speed might be prohibitive. He is a great special teams player, and I just like the way he plays.

Torell Troup- 6-2, 315, 34 Reps, 34" Arms, 5.19, 29.5"

9.2

37

Chris Cook- 6-2, 212, 4.41, 11'0",  32" Arms

CB/FS 

Virginia

Versatile big DB who is moving up the charts. 

This guy came out of nowhere to have a great Senior Bowl. Big tall tough CB. Some of the smoothest feet I’ve seen this year. Nice smooth hips. For a guy who is over 6-1 he is just so smooth. He can snap his hips in either directions with equal efficiency. He will give up leverage too easily for  CB his size, but he has such good feet he can get bck into position

Ben Tate- 5-10, 214,   

RB

Auburn

Had great Senior Bowl. Should better speed than I remembered. At time looked like the only consistent offensive weapon for the South team. Hits the hole hard. Runs down hill, and has good speed on the Second level. Has some nice make you miss wiggle-wiggle. Reminds me of Shaun Alexander.

Jacoby Ford- 5-9, 175, 4.24

Dorin Dickerson- 6-1 3/8, 226, 4.40-4.43, 24 Reps, 34" Arms,  

TE

Pittsburgh

Played MLB as a Sophomore. Better in line blocker than his size would indicate.  Tough guy who will fight for every block. 49 catches in 2009. Was named first team All American. Great burst off the line. Played H-Back for two seasons, and will only continue to improve as he gains experience. Smooth in his patterns. Has no trouble with the double move. Gets up the seam quickly and causes a lot of trouble. Makes nice clean cuts and always keeps his quick feet moving. Gets into blocks with explosive quickness, but not necessarily with good power.

9.0

Mike Johnson- 6-5, 306,   

OG/OT

Alabama

Started at OLG in Senior Bowl Game. Used his great long arms to great effectiveness. In first play from scrimmage he was able to stone the DT, and still get out side and stone the OLB. I thought he was outstanding in the Championship Game, and continued that outstanding play in the Senior Bowl.

Jon Asamoah 6-4.5, 300, 34.5" Arms,

Get into position quickly and can Seal and sustain his blocks with good lower body strength and fight. Great feet. Has everything you want in an O-Lineman, except long arms. Has impress every step in the off season and looks like he could slip into the 2nd Round. Had an excellent Senior Bowl.

Antonio Coleman- 6-2, 255, 19 Reps

OLB/DE

Auburn 

This is a guy I really took notice of in the Post season. The more I watch him the more I liked him. Has has the knack for hitting the Quarterback. He has the athleticism to play OLB in a 3/4. He could be an interesting rush LB who gets picked in the 3rd or 4th Round. Led SEC in Sacks. Has nice feet in backpedal, but doesn’t transition well out of backpedal, might just be a lack of experience. 

9.0

54

Dominique Franks- 5-11.25 191, 4.47,  

CB 

Oklahoma 

Franks is a big kid with good enough feet and hips to develop into a good starting CB. He has a  good back pedal, nice hips. Gets real low in his stance which is so important. Nice feet in backpedal, and nice hips in transition. I finally see why scouts like this kid so much. Smooth feet and hips. Has everything you want in a CB except pure speed.

Akwasi Owusu- 6' 5/8, 207, 4.45-4.56, 4.19 SS, 21 Reps,    

CB

IUP 

My top super sleeper at CB. However, he is flying up the charts, and was one of the top performers at the Combine and may have moved himself into the 3rd Round. Nice feet. Get slow in his backpedal. Nice form. Keeps his hands moving. Nice machinegun feet. Has nice loose swivel hip. Turn smoother to his left. Does a nice job turn and running on deep pass and can locate the ball and highpoint it. A Combine Wonder who has worked himself into the 3rd Round. Had shoulder surgery last year. Not the smoothest turning all the way around. Ran 4.30-4.35 at Proday.

Misi Koa- 6-2 5/8, 251, 4.69     

OLB/DE/ILB

Utah 

I liked the way he played at Utah last season. He looks like a Patriots Linebacker. I really like him in a 3-4. He can play Inside and Outside, and showed he has the ability to drop into coverage and make plays on the ball at the Senior Bowl, and also  made some nice open field tackles in the game.

Cam Thomas- 6-3, 325, 34.75" Arms, 31 Reps, 5.14, 26", 4.98 SS,

NT/DT

N. Carolina

Interesting NT prospect, who is not going to give a lot of finesse. Will probably go higher than he should because of his potential as a NT. 

Another guy who made a lot of money on Senior Bowl week Looks like a 2nd or 3rd round NT to me. When he plays and stays low, he is awful tough to keep off the LOS. When he gets low he plays with vicious power. He bulled his way to the QB for a Sack in Senior Bowl, and it was nothing more than pure strength. Power, and fight.

Notre Dame 

Olsen is a big strong hard working kid who will start at Center for a long time for the team that drafts him. One of the top blockers in the Draft. Starting season at OC. He does a good job anchoring against NTs and DTs. He has a good punch. He does a nice job getting low and drive blocking DTs. He is tough guy who won't back down to anyone. He only allowed one Sack last season.

DE/OLB

LSU

When he plays with arms extended he can look pretty good. Does a good job shoving off OT, with arms extended, and then swim over the top. Played with better speed at Shiners than I saw at LSU.  Like to shuffle outside to much, but with his quick feet it’s easy to understand. Really played well at East West  Game. Showed consistent speed to get around the edge. Uses he hands well to get the edge. West QB had to keep waggling away from him when he was on the field.  Kept applying pressure on the QB the whole East West  Game , and he displayed the Pure passrushing skills that seemed to be missing last season. Has a good inside move, that he uses very intelligently after he gets around the horn a couple of times.

Cincinnati

Big, strong armed QB who was injured and lost his coach his senior season, and still put together a remarkable season. He will need to show a lot in pre-Draft process to overcome horrible Bowl game, but I blame most of his bad play on the loss of the coach and not on him. If he hadn't broken his arm he would be an easily First Round Pick.

Lacks a little patience in his PP. Plays with better form than I thought. Good feet which do not look out of place shuffling. he uses his feet and hands together well. When Calloway extends his long arms and gets his big mitts on the passrusher he is dead. He does a good job pushing, shoving, and punching. He just doesn't have the feet to always get there.  He has excellent technique. He bends his knee and keeps his back straight and arms out, and is always ready to punch.

A super sleeper that scouts all across the country seem to love. Loves like he will be gone in the 3rd Round. 

Fierce passrusher. Has that knack for hitting the Quarterback. Defensive Player of the Year in Division 1AA-football. Hustler, who is always fighting to get to the ball. Looks like a solid 3rd or 4th Round Rush Corner. A bit of a waist bender. Heavy hands. Didn’t looked as good in LB drills at the Combine as he did in the DE drills.

 Schofield O'Brien- 6-3, 248, 

DE/OLB

Wisconson

Great burst at the line. I could really see how he got 12 Sacks as a Senior. Played OLB for Grier at Shiners and was starting to look like a 1st or 2nd Round talent, and got invite to Senior Bowl. Blew past Ducasse in his first attempt in the DL/OL passrushing drill, and then blew out his knee in his second rep. An absolute tragedy. 

earned starting position of Shrine, after being convert to OLB, and promptly garnered an INT against Max Hall. It was a great play, where he flowed across the field, to his right in the zone, and snagged the ball right out of the air in front of WR, which is all the more impressive because this was his first time playing OLB, as he was a passrushing DE his hole career at Wisconsin. Lots of scout and coaches took notice of his success and work ethic at the Shrine practices, and during the game. Coaches love players who are will to move around and play in different positions that their used too, and he may have worked himself into the 2nd or 3rd round.  Garnered 12 Sacks 24.5 TFL, and 62 Tackles in 2009, second in the nation. Is an undersized DE, but is build pretty solidly for an OLB. Plus, he was balled out for missing an assignment by Romeo, and he dealt with by working harder, and set up extra time to work with the coaches to help his transition to OLB, this is the kind of player every coach wants on his team, and there where a lot of NFL coaches at this game who heard this story. He also was in on a few Special Teams tackles. Has great speed going to outside.

Tough, never quit Patriots type O-Guard. Does a good job pulling and is known more as an athletic Guard than a mauler However, his weight room strength is impressive. Set the bar at the Combine with 34 Reps benching 225 pounds, and is said to be able to bench over 5oo pounds. Good technique and excellent quickness allow him to get and hold position.  

A walk one. A FB who lifted his was into an OG. Did not show well at the Senior Bowl. Need to be in a box, where quickness can’t hurt him as much.

Smooth backpedal. Was forced to move to LB as Senior and was team MVP. Garnered a lot of experience playing in the box as a LB, taking on blocks, and blitzing as well. A better athlete than I thought. Has a good transition, for a S.

A pass catching talent, who is a freak down the field. I have said the best pure pass catching TE in college football over the past 2 seasons has been Gresham, but this guy can give him a run for his money on deep patterns. Not real good with the underneath stuff, but he is an amazing deep-threat TE, which really should be an oxymoron.

Blair White- 6-2, 205, 4.40, 35.5", 10"0',

WR

Michigan ST

Looked like a 3rd Round steal at Shiner's Game. He also measured out at 6-2 205, which I think has to be a typo. 

Really looked good at Shiners. Created a lot of separation. Just plays with excellent speed. Has excellent speed, and can really confuse the CB on the out move. Displayed one of the best moves I’ve ever seen at Shiner's Game, he was running a twenty yard out, and at about fifteen yards down field, he turned his head to the inside and looked back at the QB like he was running a go or fade route, and then quickly snapped his head around and cut the opposite way to the sideline catch an easy twenty yard Out, absolutely great deception on the route! Very smart player. One of the smartest college players in this years Draft. Was on the All-Academic team, and had over a 3.9 GPA. One of those rare guys who can translate book smarts onto the field. Has very good hands, and can leap up and catches the awkwardly thrown ball. He can extend his arms to and catch the badly thrown ball while falling forward out of balance, a very difficult catch to make. Walk on player who developed into go to guy at Michigan ST. Runs short patterns with excellent suddenness. Not a speed guy, but he has really work on his quickness and suddenness running patterns. I really like his trickery in running patterns. Seems to get open at will on short patterns, mostly outside and not inside like Welker. Caught passes all over the field and was the most productive WR at Shriners.

Quarless is an underachiever who finally looks like he may have put it all together. He has great hands and physical gifts that most people can only dream of, but struggles with consistency. He had a great Bowl Game for Penn ST, and showed his improvement wasn't a fluke by have a great Shiner's Game as well.

He can get to Second level and destroy LB in running game. He has started 53 games at OLT in the SEC, and that has to count for something. Good pass protector who has short arms and doesn't always look in balance going backwards. Most poeple think he will slip inside to OG.

Played well at Shriners, and showed some of the heart and hustle that was missing for four years at Mississippi. He was a terrible College DE, but he kept making plays at Shriners. He showed the speed to run the horn, and even showed some stoutness against the run. Fought through the double-team block on run downs more than once, something I never saw him do before. Has a great burst off the line. Tremendous athlete who plays with decent power.  Had 26.5 Sack in career at Miss, but in the end he just can’t be trusted. Once he gets some big money, will his already weak work ethnic swelter and die? I don’t see how you can’t say no.

Plays Center field with great speed and anticipation. Plus, he is a tough guy who is not afraid to snick his nose in the runner. He is very valuable to teams who like to blitz, because he can get to both sidelines from the middle of the field on deep throws, and this allows the SS to blitz, or fill in for a LB that is blitzing, like what Eugene Wilson did for Harrison . If Wilson can’t cover the deep middle by himself, than Harrison can’t play in the box.

He can jump up and snag the ball with his hands, take the big hit, and still hold onto the ball.  The more I watch him the more I like him.  Has the knack for separating from DBs, and that’s what playing WR is all about.

Smooth hands, catches the ball naturally. He can catch adjust to the under thrown ball on the deep pass. He can get deep, and really does a good job locating the ball, and catching it with his soft hands. Quick feet in the come back, and can turn back with a nice burst.

Fast and runs good patterns. Has good hands and makes the leaping catch over and over again. Hand catcher. Does a nice job extending his arms and catching the ball with his hands.

Has a nice backpedal, and even displayed some nice machinegun feet. Hips where a little tight and didn’t look good when he had to swivel them. Does a nice job turning and running and can highpoint the ball. Smart well built FS who seemed to play more SS as a Senior. Comes up fast to tackle, and sacrifice the body to hit RB. Cover Slot Receivers in 3 WR Sets. Doesn't come up to Press, but plays well Off. Physical guy who likes contact. Big Hitter. Does a good job hitting  WR as the ball arrives, good timing. Smart player and good leader, who calls signals for the secondary. Team Captain. He can be a forceful hitter.

He is a well built athlete who has surprise lateral quickness on the field. He can fly around and make hits. He can sometimes look better against the pass than the run, and could see some time early as a 3rd Down Linebacker. Not a good form tackler.

Big giant ORT only who needs to bend his knee more consistently to stay on the field. When he plays and stays low hw can be dominating run blocker. Not the  Niftiest moving backwards. Big goofy plodder who is not the niftiest O-Lineman trying to get to the second level. He is a mauler, and a relentless hitter. Loves to fight with D-Ends. Has a mean streak. Leans a little in Pass blocking. He doesn't always play in balance. However, he uses him long arms well when he get into good position, and has a good punch. He was the only ND O-Linemen who could stalemate Brandon Graham. Terrific run blocker. ND seems to run the best when they run behind him. Does a good job of shoving DE inside and coming off of him in a stunt and catch DT charging the Outside. Despite his size, he is a finesse guy. Has nice long arms, but doesn’t have the feet to ply OLT. He is a technician. He seems to wear down as the game goes on, and looses focus on his technique. Did a lot of Pass blocking in college, and worked in pro style offence.

Dominated the inside against GT in Bowl Game. Read and react instincts are top notch. Read every running play perfectly in the First half, which is amazing when you consider GT's crazy offense. Flies to the ball with underrated speed and quickness. Better on field athlete than track athlete. He can take the big hit from the FB, bounce off and still make the tackle. Plays with good force and quickness, and can take a block form an OG, shed , and still make the tackle. Does a good job extending his arm to protect his body from blockers. He can misread a play, and still has the quickness and COD to get back into the play. Doesn't look as athletic moving backwards. Can be made to look bad in coverage. Plays run first so much he can be fooled by play action, and let the TE or RB run past him. Underrated athlete who can catch ball carrier from behind, including WRs. He does a good job keeping his little legs motoring. Never stands still. Reminds me of a smaller Ted Johnson. Rarely get put on skates by O-Linemen. Loves contact. Does a good job diving into RB, and grabbing the waist or legs, and holding on as he falls. Rarely lets a RB go once he gets his mitt on him.

He is a solid draft-worthy prospect, and he enhanced his standing with a fine workout at UTEP’s Proday on March 11. Brown ran the 40-yard dash in 4.46 and 4.47 seconds, had a 10-foot, 1-inch broad jump, a 31-inch vertical jump, a 4.35-second short shuttle and a 6.84-second three-cone drill.

Worthington is an interesting prospect I think can make the conversion to 3-4 D-End. he had a good showing at the East West Game, and Showed some interior quickness that I didn’t see at Ohio ST. He has a good motor, and is always working hard. Needs technique work. Doesn't have good hands. Has nice burst off the line and can bust into the backfield when he gains the advantage initially. However, if he doesn't beat the OL with his first move he gets stalemated way too easily.   

Worthington looks like a 3-4 D-End to me. He needs to get stronger. Uses his long arms well, but sometimes latches onto the O-Lineman's shirt and stalemates himself. He will stop and drop into the LOS spy. He odes a nice job sliding siding to side on the LOS when he is spying the QB. He can hold the point of attack when the ball is run right at him. He has strong hands and can Shrug the O-lineman aside when he runs the play quickly, which he doesn't always do. He often looks like he is caught in the middle again, and is stalemate too often. he needs to play more aggressively. He has received a lot of attention in the post season and could go as high as the 5th Round for a 3-4 team that seems him as a DE.

Jeremy Williams- 6-1, 205, 

WR

Tulane

Has good quick feet. Can stop with excellent quickness, and explode back to the ball on comebacks. Displayed excellent speed a Senior Bowl, and ran a reverse for about 20 yards, and end-arounds are mostly a matter of speed. Excellent blend of size and speed, and had a lot a 37 yard catch on final drive of First Half of Senior Bowl. He leaped up and caught the ball as Devin McCourty hits him hard. Used his body perfectly, and placed himself between the ball and the CB, and McCourty had nice coverage and was right in his hip.

A.J. Jefferson- 6', 186, 4.46, 44"!, 4.0 SS!, 10'6"   

CB/FS

Fresno ST 

Super sleeper. Jefferson is another super athlete who is still learning the game. Long legs. Terrific KR, returned 3 for TDs. Decent hips. I don't know a lot about this guy, but he really impressed me at the Combine. Looks good tracking the ball deep, and could be an interesting FS. Looks like he could really find a place for himself in the TFL playing Centerfield.

167

Rod Muckelroy- 6-2, 246, 4.73,  

ILB 

Texas 

First off Muckelroy is a fierce competitor. Terrific taking on blocks, and looks like he could be a good ILB in a 3-4. When he is left unblocked he almost always finds the ball.  He hits like a freight train. He is a good form tackler. t his best when moving forward unblocked and can just attack the Ballcarrier. In the past two season he has started every game for Texas, and garnered 214 tackles, 15 TFL, 2 Sacks, and 9 PBU. He is a smart player who studies film and can read what an offense is trying to quickly. Has those great instincts for finding the ball. He studies and understands his assignments and is diligent in doing his job. Not the best athlete. Can look a little stiff sometimes. I think he would make a nice ILB in a 3-4.

168

Darryl Sharpton- 5-11.75, 230, 4.7, 26 Reps, 4.24 SS, 31", 10'1", 

MLB

Miami 

Sharpton is a short stocky Tom Jackson-type MLB. He is a tackling machine. Really came into his own in the second half of the season. He can be overwhelmed by OL if they get their big mitts on him, but he keeps fighting. Not afraid to impact OG, and bounce off them. Does a nice job hand fighting. He has long arms that he extend and uses to keep blockers off his body. He has really improved his reading skill, and looks smarter and more instinctual on the field than in 2008. He can diagnose Screen and blow them up quickly. Much better player in the last few games of 2009 than earlier in the year. Much better taking on blockers and still making tackles. Very difficult to turn him and Seal him. Not the niftiest in pass coverage. At his best when moving forward, and attacking the ball when he sees it. he sees it much more consistently now. He is ready for the NFL, mentally, but lack of size will hurt him. Makes the adjustments before the snap by reading motion. He understand film study at a high level.

8.5

169

Clifton Geathers- 6-7, 299, 37.75" Arms!, 26 Reps,    

DE

S. Carolina

He is another super athletic freak who is still learning to play football. The brother of Robert Geathers who has the longest arms I’ve ever seen measured. Not the niftiest feet I’ve ever seen. Long limped gawkiness is going to hurt this guy. Looks uncoordinated. Runs like a giraffe.

Geno Atkins- 6-1, 293,   

DT

Georgia

He is a one gap penetrater who makes O-Guards look foolish, bur where does he play in the NFL? he has a sickle cell disease that saps him of his stamina. That is why he was taken out of games so much even though he often appeared as Georgia's best defender.

171

James Ruffin- 6-3.5, 263, 4.73, 4.29 SS, 27 Reps, 31",       

DE

N. Iowa 

Has good speed to reach corner. Has a good rip move. Plays with good quickness. Well built athlete who looks like an NFL DE. Very impressive physical talent. Can explode off the line. Seems to get the edge at will. Another physical super athlete who looks like he can do anything on the field. If he can learn NFL technique, in two or three years he could be considered the steal of the Draft.  Kept attacking the QB, all the way into the 4th Quarter of the East West game. He garnered 69 T, 10.5 Sacks, 18 TFL, and 3 FF.

8.5

172

Charles Scott- 5-11.25, 238, 4.53, 31", 17 Reps, 9'6"   

RB

LSU 

Scott is a bit of a tweener who played FB and RB in college. He is strong and fast, but doesn't have a lot of wiggle. However, he runs with excellent power. Follows blockers well. Takes what his blockers give him, and then lowers his head and pounds forward. When he sees the hole, he charges through like a bull that just spotted Junior Seau in a cowboy hat. He should be more of a RB in NFL. Terrific athlete for his size. Very tough, and can block. A player who might be a better pro than college football player, if he can get a defined position. Reminds me of a cross between Sammy Morris and Heath Evans. I think he has the athleticism and COD to play RB in the NFL. He would be helped playing with a lightning, so Houston or San Diego might be the best destinations for him.  

8.5

173

Andre Dixon- 5-10, 195,   

RB

Connecticut

Very quick feet. Runs with herky-jerky shoulders. Never runs in a straight line for long. Earned starting position of Shrine.  Looked better and better in practices as the week rolled on. Does a good job of cutting with explosion through the hole.  Very good with the ball in his hands, and can make the first defender miss.  Caught every ball thrown his way in Shriners game. Speed will be the deciding factor for him, but I really like his quickness, and herky-jerky moves. .

8.5

174

Chris Hawkins - 6', 186, 4.42, 36.5", 19'11"   

CB

LSU 

Super sleeper. Hawkins is another super athlete who is still learning the game. Has all the physical skills to succeed on the field, but doesn't seem to have the instincts.

8.5

175

Lucien "The Punisher" Antoine- 6', 218, 4.6-4.65, 28 Reps, 

SS/WLB/ST 

Oklahoma ST 

The punisher can really crush ball carriers who dare to come through his zone. Not the niftiest in covers, and might be best suited as a WLB in a Tampa Two. Should be a Special Team maven the second he steps on the field in Training Camp. Only played one year of high school so he is still young in his football career. Nice backpedal, but struggles with balance when he transitions out of backpedal. Terrible ball skills.

8.5

176

Jarner Chaney- 6'-7/8, 242, 4.56, 26 Reps, 4.29 SS, 39", 

MLB

Mississippi ST

Looked like a legit NFL prospect  as a Junior and Sophomore, before he broke his leg as in 2008. Doesn't look like he hast  overcome it yet, but the potential is still there. Started 12 games in 2009 and garnered 90 T, 4,5 TFL, 2 Sacks, 2 INTs, and PBU. Played well at the East West game, and it looks like he put himself into a draftable position.

8.5

177

Trindon Holiday- 5-6, 160, 4.34   

ST/WR

LSU

Water bug special teams player with speed to burn.

He is a Special Teams Maven with special speed, and has just enough WR skills to help out as a forth or fifth WR. He can adjust to the under thrown ball. Has the speed, and really does a good job locating the ball, and catching it with his hands. He has that natural speed and quickness that makes opposing teams takes stand up and take notice.  

8.5

178

Jeff Byers- 6-3, 299      

OC/OG

USC 

Has a great punch. Fighter who won’t back down to anyone. Was a nice power step, which gets him out of trouble when the DT redirects. .

Has experience at all three interior line position, and even started at OC for a few games. Nice tough interior linemen, who minimally should be a nice utility interior OG, like Russ Hotchstein. He won't win any beauty contests, but he will play in the NFL for a decade.

179

Colin Peek- 6-5, 252, 19 Reps. 4.93, 34.5", 4.39 SS, 34" Arms        

TE

Alabama

Peek is a good TE who does a lot of things well, but doesn't do anything great. He is a good receiver who garnered 313 Yards and 3 TDs on 26 Catches last season. He has very good hands, but can't separate consistently. He was used primarily as a blocker at Alabama, and looks like he would make a nice 2nd or 3rd Tight End who could come in and block and sneak out sometimes and catch the ball. He had a great TD catch at Senior Bowl, where Larry Assante just crushed him and he held onto the ball.

8.5

180

Dennis Rogan- 6', 190, 4.59, 4.10 SS!, 38.5", 10'3"   

FS/CB

Tennessee 

Play Corner in college, but is a FS prospect. he is an excellent athlete who always looks smooth and in balance, but he just doesn't have to speed to play CB in the NFL. I like the way he move backwards. Like to keep his eye on the QB and doesn’t always flip his hips.

8.5

181

Joe Webb- 6-2.75, 223, 4.45, 35.5" 42", 11'5"

WR

UAB 

Looked great at the Senior Bowl as a WR. A super sleeper, who could be a Givens type steal in the 7th Round. Displayed an amazing physicality and aggressiveness for a converted QB in the passing game. Looked like he was trying to beat up DBs. He is so nasty in his route running that he will be called for a lot of Offensive pass Interference calls;-) Has great hands, and really caught everything thrown to him at Senior Bowl. Was one of the most interesting WR prospects in the Senior Bowl practices.

8.4

182

Kavell Conner- 6', 242, 4.58(U), 32.75" Arms, 19'11"   

OLB/ILB

Clemson 

Very productive OLB, who looks like he could play ILB in a 3-4. He has 313 Career Tackles, and over the past two seasons, he has garnered 236 T, 14 TFL, 1 INT, PBU and 3 Sacks. He is a smart player who reads and reacts very well. He has that natural knack for finding the ball. He has a high motor, and is a very completive player. However, he does not take on blocks well, and gets overwhelmed by OL too much. 

8.4

183

Cam Chancellor- 5-9, 186, 4.53(U), 4.07 SS,  

Nickel 

Clemson 

Chancellor is a very experienced player. He is a 3-year starter who started 41 consecutive games. A little unbalanced in transition. He is not the fastest guy, but has amazing quickness. He is not going to step in and start on any tea and maybe limited to a Tampa Two, but with his cover skills and great quickness, he looks to me like he could be a valuable Nickel Corner for a long time in the NFL. 

8.4

184

Crezdon Butler- 6', 191, 4.41(U), 39.5", 

CB

Clemson 

He was a 4 year starter at Clemson. Butler is another super athlete who has all the physical skills to succeed on the field. He is a very experience college player who will bring experience and maturity with him to the NFL.

8.4

185

Earl Mitchell- 6-1 3/4, 296, 4.70, 32.5" Arms, 25 Reps,    

DT

Arizona

Mitchell came to school as a RB and also played FB freshman year. Looks like a pure Undertackle to me. Does a good job bending his knees when moving laterally. I like his punch. Shows some good lateral quickness. Heavy hands.

8.4

186

Freddie Barnes- 5-10, 190, 

WR

Bowling Green

Breaks outside with great separation. Not big or fast, and doesn’t look good in practice, but he has that knack for just creating great separation. Runs route as well, and maybe better than any WR in this Draft. It is so in vogue to say this guy or that guy is the next Wes Welker, but this guy could be. Plus, he has great hands, and catches everything that is thrown to him.  Super smart. Has done a lot of work on patterns, getting open, and how to separate, and his great ability to get open is not a mistake. He should be able to make a great living in the slot in the NFL.  This is a guy who is smarter and will out work most fo the players on your roster.  

8.7X

187

Nate Collins- 6-2, 289,    

NT/DT

Virginia

Undersized NT who played for Al Groh at Virginia . Also played 5-Tchnique DE. Has a flash like quickness inside. He can swim inside and hit RB. Was very productive in Pats like defense. Another super athlete who can sometimes look like he can do anything on the field. Great interior quickness. Very tough guy. Looks like he could play 3-4 DE, and apply some much needed PR from DE position.

8.4

188

Micah Johnson- 6-1 5/8, 256, 4.8, 4.26 SS, 31 Reps  

ILB

Kentucky

Huge upper body. Strongly built Physical specimen. He has good production. Looks better moving forward. An inside thumper who would looks good as an ILB in a 3-4. he is a terrific physical tackler. He tackles hard, right in the middle of the field. A tone setter.  

8.3

189

Travis Goethal- 6-2, 240, 4.58, 9'2", 4.22 SS, 32" Arms, 

ILB

Arizona  ST

Has good smart and good instincts. Plays faster than his Forty time. A lot of team are interested in this kid and he could go as high as the 4th Round. He ran a 4.7 at the Combine, and really blew away scouts with a 4.58 at his Proday. 

8.3

190

Chris McCoy- 6-3.25, 261, 4.7, 35 Reps, 4.51 SS, 33", 10'3" 

DE/OLB

M. Tennessee

McCoy is a good looking Hybrid OLB/DE small school prospect. Does a good job finding the ball. Doesn’t tackle with good form or lean. More of a grab and catch tackler. Has a good inside spin move. He has the speed to run the horn. Plays the LOS spy on Running QBs. Does a great job moving laterally down the line on outside runs. He can push off the OT, and still meet the RB at the line of scrimmage. Great hustle. High motor guy who puts it all on the line for his team. He will get knock down by the O-Tackle, jump up and still make the tackle. The more I watch him the more I like him. Smart player Uses his reads and long arms well. He will play OLB in 2,3 and 4-point stance. He has great athleticism and explosion, and is bigger than I thought he'd be as a projected speed rusher (over 6-3 and over 260 pounds). Drops back fast in coverage, but doesn't always backpedal. he will turn his back to the QB too much, and make himself an easy victim. He has nice quick feet, and when he does backpedal he look good. Looks good moving backwards. Very good initial burst. Does a nice job Setting the Edge. Tough against the run, and is not just a pure Passrusher. Mixes up Passrush with a strong Rip, a nice Bullrush, outside speed, and inside spin. He can really burst off the line when given the green He will get knock down by the PT, jump up and still make the tackle. Can sometimes get caught peeking, and will slow down sometimes when trying to read the play. He is susceptible to Draws, and plays run inside his rush.

Ed Wang- 6-5, 309, 5.14-5.23,    

OT

Virginia Tech

Had a nice career at VT. Has a nice punch in Pass Projection. A converted TE, who still move like  TE. Needs some sand in his pants. Nice Kickstep. Very quick and gets to the outside quickly. Has some nice snap in his hips. Definitely has the feet and hips to play OLT in the NFL, I just don’t know if he has the size and strength. I like him as a Pass Blocker already, but he will need to get strong to run block. Underrated prospect who is still growing into position. 

8.2

192

George Johnson- 6-5, 265, 4.7, 31", 9'5", 4.57 SS 

OLB/DE

Rutgers

George is a very undervalues athlete, who looks fast on the field. He is good against the run. He is an interesting prospect who battled injuries most of his career until he finally played a whole season last year. He garnered 6.5 Sacks, 13.5 TFL, and 44 T, last season. He has a nice burst off the LOS. He is has great inside quickness on Stunts and Twists. He played standing up sometimes, and dropped into coverage in the Zone-Blitz, and did not look out of place. He can really change direction going full speed and looks great out in space. He has the speed to run the horn, and can bed and get around the corner. He has to learn to use his hands better, and still is more athlete than football player. Needs to extend his arms better when passrushing. He has strong hands, he just does use them in combination with his feet. he looks his best when he is allowed to just fly around the corner. He can look explosive coming around the corner and harassing the QB. However, he was ask to drop into coverage a lot more than he should have been. Looks like an interesting 3-4 OLB who is stout against the run and excellent in Coverage, and i would like to see him play when he is just allowed to attack the Quarterback.

193

Shay Hodge- 6-1.5, 214, 4.55, 33", 4.16 SS! 

WR 

Mississippi

Hodge is big possession receiver who had a great Senior season at Ole Miss. Just keeps catching the ball. Good size, good hands, and good speed. One of those underrated guys who does everything well, but not great, but the sum is better than all the pieces. One of those WR who ends up in the 2nd or 3rd Round, and a nice productive 10-12 year NFL career. Has long stride, which gives him deceptive speed on the outside. Uses a nice head and shoulder fake. Breaks with great quickness inside.

8.2

Dekoda Watson- 6-1, 232, 4.53-4.61, 24 Reps, 4.57 SS      

OLB

Florida ST 

Tampa Two Linebacker whose lack of size will hurt him in the Draft. However, his is an excellent football player. Plays with impressive speed, smarts, and aggressiveness. He was one of the best LB at Senior Bowl. I could not have been more impressed with him at the Senior Bowl.

8.2

195

Zac Robinson- 6-2, 2104 34.5" Arms,  

QB  

Oklahoma St ST 

Played well early, and the more he played the worse he looked. However, he looked like a legit NFL prospect whenever Dez Bryant was on the field, and when he wasn’t, it seemed there was no one who could get open consistently. 

Really stepped up at Senior Bowl, and made himself a lot of money. Led two minute drive to end the First Half with a TD pass to Peek. Showed a good arm on deep throws, and completed a 37 yard pass Jeremy Williams and a 26 yard pass to Riley Cooper.

8.2

196

*Mike McLaughlin- 6-2, 242, 4.82-4.83(U), 29 Reps, 

ILB/ST/FB

BC 

Super smart try hard LB who doesn't have the physical skills to start in the NFL. He was a great college player who just doesn't have the speed. I compare him to Larry Izzo. His path into the NFL will be as a Special Teams Maven. 

Could be a Larry Izzo-type player. Super smart tough guy. I think he will be limited to 3-4 ILB/Special Teams Maven. Terrific college football player, who just doesn’t look like he has the athleticism to play LB in the NFL. Doesn’t have the speed to play Middle LB, and doesn’t have the size to play ILB in 3-4. Looked very good in LB drills at the Combine.
Has the knack for finding the ball. Can read what the O is doing instantly. Struggled with lack of speed at East West game. I think he has a chance as an ILB, where his tackling alley is much thinner. If he has to cover a lot of ground to make a tackling he struggles. As a MLB he has too much open space he has to cover on both sides.  However, he is a very smart, tough, instinctual ILB who loves the physical aspect of the game.  Was able to play a little ILB when East team went into the 3-4, and played his best ball at ILB. He was able to use his instants and attack the RB in the backfield.

J.D. Walton- 6-3 3/8, 300, 5.19, 25 Reps, 33 3/8" Arms, 4.68 SS! 

OC 

Purdue

His game is quickness. He has nice quick hands, which all Centers need, and shows excellent quickness getting into D-Tackles after the snap. He does a good job fighting the NT, which is getting more and more important as teams switch to a 3-4. 

8.2

198

Shawn Lauvao- 6-3, 315, 33 Reps, 5.29, 4.51 SS, 7.56 3-Cone, 31"

OG/OC

Arizona ST

Does a good job of Mirroring DT inside. Not a pretty player, but an efficient player. Good power and base on Pass Protection. Played both OG and OT at Arizona, but will be a OG in NFL. Needs to stay low, and will sometimes give up leverage. Doesn’t have the size to play OT in NFL. However, he has experience at every OL position besides OC. I like his hips and feet.

8.2

199

Alterraun Verner- 5-10, 184, 4.53, 39", SS 4.28, 12 Reps, 

CB

UCLA

Another Corner who should develop into a good starter. He is a great athlete. I really like his feet in his backpedal. I was really impressed with his athleticism at the Combine. Does a good job staying on WR hip.  Stays a little high in hid backpedal, but has good quickness in transition, and can really break on the ball. The more I watch him the more I like him. Might maybe the most underrated CB in the Draft. All American.

Van Eskridge- 6', 200, 4.56, 39", SS 4.28, 12 Reps, 

FS/SS

TCU

Breaks on the ball well. He had INT at Shriners games. He had 102 Tackles and 8 INTs last season. Did not look out of place at Shriners. Is a ballhawk in coverage, and can play the run aggressively. He is also a good hitter. ""I think I ran maybe a 4.6 or a 4.5 at the fastest." Some of the teams said to have interest in the safety are the Colts, Browns and Dolphins, with stronger interest coming from the Titan".

Stephen Williams- 6-4.5, 210, 4.48, 38", 4.11

WR

Toledo

Williams is a small school size speed athlete. Every year there are WR who have a great combo of size and speed, but have a lot to prove. He had good production and has to prove he can do it on the next level. He is a good competitor. He has good hands.

Barry Church- 6-1 5/8, 220, 4.64, 6.65 3-Cone, 19 Reps, 

SS

Toledo 

He is a nice hitter, who can close on the WR quickly, and really punish him. He will be a SS in the NFL. He played OLB in Toledo's 5-2 Defensive scheme. He played SS at the East West game and didn't look out of place. Tight hips, and looks like he will have some trouble in coverage.
