Final 7 Round Mock Draft
Round 1
1. Kansas City Chiefs – Eric
Fisher OT Central Michigan
*Buzz has LT Eric
Fisher as the pick; it’s one or the other at Left Tackle. The Chiefs roster is loaded with talent; the
major problem is at QB. Andy Reid made
the decision to trade a 2013 second round pick and a 2014 pick for the average
QB Alex Smith. The Chiefs could have
gone with the LT/QB option in round 1 and 2.
Similar to the LT Jake Long/QB Chad Henne combo over top QB Matt Ryan
(not that Geno Smith is the prospect Matt Ryan was but you get the idea). *They clearly don’t agree with me and see
something in Alex Smith that I don’t. *I love the value of the CB free agent
signings.
With OT’s Lewan and
Matthews returning to college, Eric Fisher is clearly the #2 LT prospect and
many have him as the #1 Left Tackle.
Film shows quick feet and agility to go along with pure power. Scouts compare him to 49ers Joe Staley. *Stock up (6’7, 305/Long arms), dominate at
the Senior Bowl. Scouts buzz that he
could contend as top overall Left Tackle and be drafted #1 overall.
2. Jacksonville Jaguars – Luke Joeckel OT Texas A&M
*Buzz now
has LT Joeckel/Fisher landing here; I just don’t get it with such a need for a
pass rusher. The Jags need a QB (there
was lots of Geno Smith interest/buzz, possible smokescreen) but I think they
trade down or wait until the first pick in round 2 or 3 for their new QB. This pick shapes the entire draft; they could
go QB, DT, DE/OLB Dion Jordan and now a Left Tackle. The Jags are looking for big, athletic
playmakers to improve the pass rush.
*Lots of buzz that the Jags will now take a Left Tackle here.
Luke Joeckel is a
Jake Long talent and maybe the best prospect in the draft (I have him as the #2
prospect). LT Joeckel (6‘6, 310) can
protect the blind side for the next 10 years, he’s the total package. He’s not an elite athlete but that’s okay
because he physically dominates pass rushers.
3. Oakland Raiders – Sharrif Floyd DT Florida
**Trade down
Alert** (Lions move up for OT Lane Johnson)
*Buzz again has a
left tackle landing here, not buying it.
I still think DT Star Lotulelie should be the pick. With QB Matt Flynn now on board the Raiders
don’t have to reach for a QB. Still some
buzz that QB Geno Smith or a Left Tackle is in play here or it could be a great
bluff to trade down and recoup a second round pick. With their lack of playmakers on the D-Line
and loss of free agents, they could use multiple picks on the D-Line. This pick should come down to DT Lotulelie/Floyd
and DE Jordan/Ansah, QB Smith is the only offensive option as they are set at
Left Tackle. Personally I would take DE
Ziggy Ansah here.
Florida
DT Sharrif Floyd has great upside; he’s only 20 years old and already flashes
dominance with his athletic ability, burst off the line and ability to collapse
the pocket. He’s played both DE and DT
(in 4-3, best fit) which just proves his athletic ability is off the charts for
such a big guy. * Looks like clear top 5 now.*Update: Lots of buzz that Floyd
is a lock for the top 3. There are a few
scenarios (QB and Star get picked) that could push him to the 10-13 area.
4. Philadelphia Eagles – Dion Jordan OLB/DE Oregon
*Buzz has DT Star
Lotulelie or OLB Dion Jordan; I don’t see how they can pass on a Left
Tackle. The Eagles need O-Line help with
the uncertainty of Jason Peters coming back from injury. QB Geno Smith would be intriguing for new Head
Coach Chip Kelly as would OLB Dion Jordan.
OT/OLB/ and CB Dee Milliner or a NT/DE (Star Lotulelie) makes sense as
far as team needs. *Update: with the switch to the 3-4 defense a true NT or 5
technique DE (Star Lotulelie) is now a need even with the signing of NT Isaac Sopoaga.
Dion Jordan (6’7,
240) could go as high as the Jags and deservedly so. A high upside pass-rusher who still has room
to put on weight, he can play the 4-3 LEO or OLB in the 3-4 (best fit). Jordan has insane reach, closing speed and
upside. *Great all-around combine,
special athlete. Drawn comparisons to
Aldon Smith but I see a Javon Kerse/Jason Taylor type pass rusher.
5. Detroit Lions – Lane Johnson OT Oklahoma
*Buzz has one of the
top three Left Tackles or DE Ansah here.
CB, Left Tackle and DE are needs and the Lions usually go best player
available.
This pick should come down to DE Ziggy Ansah or LT Eric Fisher/Lane
Johnson.
Lane Johnson could
easily go to the Lions at 5 or a team trading up to pick 6 to jump the Cards to
secure the rising Left Tackle prospect.
Stock up for the 6’6, 302lb Left Tackle, he has moved into the early 1st
round with only 3 immediate starting Left Tackles in the draft. Impressive Senior Bowl and Combine for the
former QB/TE. *Update: Great overall
Combine numbers continues to rise, looks to be a lock to go in the top 7
picks. Lane Johnson has a faster 40 yard
dash than Anquan Boldin and the same vertical leap as A.J Green…Wow.
6. Cleveland Browns – Geno Smith QB West Virginia
**Trade down
Alert**
*Buzz has
a trade down, QB Geno Smith, TE Tyler Eifert, Dion Jordan, Ziggy Ansah and CB
Milliner (who could be dropping). *It
now looks like the Browns will jump on a QB here. It sure sounds like the Browns will trade
pick 6 to the Chargers or Dolphins so they can select LT Lane Johnson one spot
ahead of the Cardinals. This would allow
the Browns to recoup their second round pick they used on WR Josh Gordon in the
supplemental draft. Browns are switching
to the 3-4 defense and attacked pass-rushing OLB’s in FA. A CB opposite Joe Haden makes sense but it
really sounds like they want another pass rusher. *Loaded up on OLB in free agency so that is
no longer a pressing need but may be the best value here. *Perfect spot to trade down to a team looking
at CB Dee Milliner (Falcons) or LT Lane Johnson so the Browns can recoup their
second round pick.
*Buzz has Geno Smith
dropping, I still think he goes top 10.
Geno Smith (6’3 220) has the size/speed/arm to be a Franchise QB
(non-elite). Like every other QB in this
class he is very inconsistent but Smith splashes these big throws and running
ability at times that give him the “upside” factor. He’s not an option QB; he’s a pocket passer
that can simply run. *Average Combine,
did not separate himself from the pack.
7. Arizona Cardinals – Ezekiel “Ziggy” Ansah DE/OLB BYU
*Buzz has top Guard
or top pass rusher; I don’t think they pass on a Left Tackle. QB Carson Palmer is headed for Arizona so it
looks like OL and a pass rusher are the top options now. They need to develop a young QB and they
should still draft one somewhere in the top five rounds. The clear option here now is LT Lane Johnson
or Guard Chance Warmack/Cooper. The
ideal QB fit would be a big armed vertical threat QB (Glennon in round 2 or 3). As for a defensive prospect they can hope
that Dion Jordan or Ziggy Ansah fall to #7.
I think Ansah should
go in the top 5 and any lower than that would be a steal. His potential could make him a top 5 pick and
I think he should go top 3. Ziggy Ansah
has the look of Jason Pierre-Paul 2.0 as far as raw ability. He stands 6’6 and 270 lbs. with absolutely
freakish athletic ability and could develop into an elite pass rusher as he
gets more football under his belt. Right
now he is more skilled in the run game with insane closing speed, the pass rush
is not there yet and he needs to develop some moves. Ziggy Ansah can play 4-3 DE, 5 technique in
the 3-4 and rush OLB in the odd front.
At the Senior Bowl, he didn’t look good in practice but when it was game
time and he could just go out and play and not think about technique he
dominated and showed everything scouts are buzzing about (closing
speed/athletic/playmaker). *Update:
Great Combine. I see a clear Top 5
talent and that’s without any real pass rush moves.
8. Buffalo Bills – Ryan Nassib QB Syracuse
*Trade down
Alert* for QB’s Nassib/Barkley/Manuel.
*Buzz now has QB
Ryan Nassib going ahead of Geno Smith and taking Nassib right here at 8 if they
can’t trade down. QB Kevin Kolb is in
Buffalo but that won’t stop the Bills from drafting a QB here. The Bills GM Buddy Nix has told us he’s
taking a Franchise QB and Ryan Nassib is the logical fit to reunite with his
college coach. The Bills seem to be
deciding between Geno Smith, Ryan Nassib and Matt Barkley here, I know Barkley
doesn’t fit the profile of a bad weather Buffalo QB but he and Nassib won’t be
available for the Bills pick in round 2.
A WR like Tavon Austin is another strong option as is OLB Jarvis Jones. A guard to replace Levitre makes sense but
Nix says they will not be going guard at 8.
Ryan Nassib (6’2,
220) has drawn Andy Dalton comparisons.
Nassib could go as high as the Bills in round 1 and reunite with his
college coach in Buffalo. Mixed reports from Senior Bowl, I’m not seeing any
special tools and he just can’t throw the deep ball with accuracy. He has all the intangible tools you want in a
QB, however the physical tools are lacking.
Scouts much smarter than me say Nassib is the best QB in the class.
9. New York Jets – Barkevious Mingo DE/OLB LSU
*Buzz has DE/OLB
Mingo locked in here but I think they could surprise with QB Geno Smith now
that GM John Idzik is running the show and not Rex Ryan. The Jets finally traded Darrelle Revis to
Tampa Bay for pick 13 this year and a 2014 third round pick (it’s a conditional
fourth round pick but will end up being a third as long as Revis is on the Bucs
roster next year). This pick can go in
so many directions now; maybe QB Geno Smith or Ryan Nassib, top WR Tavon
Austin, a corner to replace Revis or what the Jets have always coveted: a true
pass rushing OLB. If one of the top 2
DT’s (Star Lotulelie/Sharrif Floyd) somehow fall to 9, they must be considered from
a pure value standpoint.
Mingo (6’5, 240) is
the best available pass-rusher here.
Mingo has survived on his athletic ability so far and been great; he now
needs to work on shedding blocks when initially shut down. *Update: Other pass-rushers are climbing (BYU
DE/OLB Ziggy Ansah). *Update: He could
still go top 6 but I’m moving him down for now.
10. Tennessee Titans – Star Lotulelie DT/NT Utah
*Buzz has top Guard
or the falling CB Milliner. Interior
O-Line, D-Line and the secondary are need areas. The top CB (Milliner) would be the dream
scenario and could happen if the Browns trade down. The top Guard (Warmack or Cooper) or 4-3 DE/DT
could also be considered here. Even with
Levitre they should still look for interior O-Line help.
Personally
I have Star as the #1 overall player in the draft. Star Lotulelie (6’4, 325) is a massive DT who
lives in the backfield with great explosion off the line, has drawn comparisons
to DT Suh and Ngata. Personally, I have
Lotulelie as the #1 prospect in the draft.
Scheme diverse, he can play NT and DE in the 3-4 or DT in the 4-3. *Update*: Heart problem detected at the
Combine, he has now been cleared. I
can’t move the best player in the draft too far down. He is still very much in play to be picked in
the top 4 overall. *Now medically cleared and moving back up, as he should be.
11. San Diego Chargers – Jonathan Cooper G North Carolina
**Trade up
Alert**
*Buzz has RT D.J.
Fluker, top Guard or WR Tavon Austin. They
must improve the O-Line to protect Rivers and a least give the talented QB a
chance to succeed. A trade up for LT
Lane Johnson makes a ton of sense and should be considered.
Cooper (6’2, 312) is
a dominant interior blocker with great technique and rare athleticism for a man
his size. Cooper is more athletic and
versatile than Chance Warmack; Warmack relies on pure power while Cooper is more
agile and can also play Center. He’s the
best pure athlete at the guard position to come out in nearly 10 years. *These two top guards could go lower than
originally thought.
12. Miami Dolphins – Dee Milliner CB Alabama
**Trade up Alert**
*Buzz has top Guard
available, CB DJ Hayden or a pass rusher along with RT D.J Fluker. Miami could trade up to the Browns at pick 6
to select the last top flight Left Tackle.
Miami has crushed Free Agency filling many need areas; signing #1 FA WR Mike Wallace and
re-signing WR Hartline and CB Brent Grimes. Options are a top
CB/Safety/Rush OLB /DT and OL.
*Buzz has Milliner
dropping. Miller is a big (6’1, 200)
physical corner who has all the tools to be a shutdown corner. He excels in run support while still keeping
up as a cover corner. Milliner played
well against the best the SEC had to offer and is so polished and ahead of
every other CB in this draft that he could go anywhere from pick 3 to the
Titans at 10. *Combine: Ran a 4.4, speed no longer an issue.
13. New York Jets (via Tampa
Bay Buccaneers) – Tavon Austin WR West Virginia
*Buzz has the top CB
available (DJ Hayden), TE Tyler Eifert and WR Tavon Austin. This pick was acquired in the Revis trade
from Tampa Bay.
Austin (5’9, 175) is
the ideal slot receiver and a matchup nightmare for any defense. WR Austin could go as high as the Browns in
Round 1. *Combine: Great showing and
second fastest WR. More impressive in
that he has game quickness to go along with track speed. *Buzz now has him as a top 10 pick. He’s smaller than Percy Harvin but can be
used the same way, instant game changer.
14. Carolina Panthers – Sheldon Richardson DT Missouri
*Buzz has top DT, WR
or Safety. The Panthers have needed help
at DT for years and the mid round DT picks have not been kind or produced
successful starting caliber lineman. A WR
is also a possibility here; this could be the landing spot for WR Tavon Austin. The other major need is safety which means S
Kenny Vaccaro is very much in play.
Richardson (6’2,
200) is more of a pass rushing DT than run stuffing and his upside is huge due
to this pure athletic ability. Drawn
comparisons to Warren Sapp. If DT Star Lotulelie falls for medical reasons then Richardson has the
talent to go top 10 and jump Lotulelie in the draft.
15. New Orleans Saints – Sylvester Williams DT North Carolina
*Buzz has top OLB,
CB, Safety, OT and NT. I still think the
surprise pick could be OT Meneilk Watson.
The saints need help all along the D-Line as they are near the bottom of
the league in pass/run defense. *Update:
Saints will be switching to the 3-4 Defense.
DL/Rush OLB/Secondary/O-Line all look to be strong options. Yes it would be a reach to take an O-Tackle
at this point but it makes sense and could happen even though Saints fans won’t
like it.
Stock up, great
Senior Bowl and Combine. Even with a
very deep DT class he could force his way into the mid first round. Great burst off the line, violent hands and
gets after the QB. At 6’2, 310lbs; an
ideal 3 technique but is so versatile and athletic/powerful he can play in the
3-4 defense as a 5 technique.
16. St. Louis Rams – Kenny Vaccaro FS Texas
*Buzz has the Rams
very interested in LB Ogeltree and WR DeAndre Hopkins. O-line, WR and Safety are all option here for
the Rams. With the signing of LT Jake
Long, O-Tackle is not a pressing need but an impact guard could still be the
pick here. Many have WR Tavon Austin
here and that makes a ton of sense.
Kenny Vaccaro (Free
Safety) is the clear cut #1 Safety in the draft and for good reason. He is a true difference maker on D in the
mold of Troy Polamalu. He has all the
tools, size/speed and great football instincts.
He has the speed/hands of a CB with the strength of a Safety. He has the ability to cover any Tight End
which raises his stock even more. *Stock
up, scouts say he could go top 10.
17. Pittsburgh Steelers – Jarvis Jones DE/OLB Georgia
*Buzz has OLB,
Safety and TE. The Steelers go BPA. This pick could go any number of ways: S,
OLB, WR, CB and DL.
Jarvis
Jones is a true sack machine who can be used like OLB Von Miller of the Broncos
in a 4-3 or rush linebacker in the 3-4 (best fit). An elite pass-rusher
improves every level of the defense.
Jones (6’3, 240) has an explosive first step off the snap and used speed
more than power in college. He’s a
perfect fit for any team as a 3-4 rush OLB but can play OLB in the 4-3
defense. Jones is a Top 5 talent but his
medical history could really drop him down the draft, a smart team will catch
him and be rewarded IMO. *Update:
Medical issues are a red flag so his stock could drop. *Update:
Combine: Teams are taking Jones off draft boards due to medical
(Back/Spine), could be in for a big free fall.
*Mixed reports: some say spinal stenosis is not an issue; it will come
down to team doctor’s reports.
18. Dallas Cowboys – Chance Warmack G Alabama
*Buzz has top Guard
or D.J. Fluker along with DT and S Kenny Vaccaro. Team needs include interior O-Line, D-Line
and Safety. They are changing Defensive
schemes and will now run and base 4-3 cover 2 Defense. They now need the players to fit the scheme
and a true DT will go a long way to ease the transition. Jay Ratliff’s future was uncertain to begin
with and now a DWI could land him out of Dallas, making D-Line an even bigger
need. It will come down to the top
Guard/DE/DT/S. If both guards are off
the board they could look at RT DJ Fluker.
The best available DT could have the most value. *O-Line is a bigger need than DT/S but all
the top O-Lineman may be off the board.
Guards rarely go
high but Warmack (6’3, 320) is the best power interior O-Line prospect to come
out in years; he could go as high as the Titans at 10 or even the Cardinals at
7. Warmack plays with a mean streak to go
along with great technique and pure power.
He looks like a young Larry Allen, yeah, he’s that good. He dominates at the first level then has the
ability to block at the second and even third level. *Starting to feel these
two guards could go lower than most are projecting.
19. New York Giants – Cornelius “Tank” Carradine DE Florida St
*Buzz has Giants
taking Right Tackle D.J Fluker; I still think they take the best available
DE. The Giants have needs at D-Line,
Linebacker, Corner and O-Line. The
O-Line comes back in tact with the resigning of LT Will Beatty and LG Kevin
Boothe, RT David Diehl took a pay cut but RT James Brewer could beat him out in
a training camp battle. At DE, Osi is
out and Justin Tuck had a down year. CB
Corey Webster was truly awful and hard to watch and the Giants have needed
Linebackers forever. The best available
DE is the most likely scenario. LB
options include Teo/Ogletree/Brown; DE here could be FSU DE Bjoern Werner, Tank
Carradine and UCLA’s Datone Jones. The
Giants rarely pick a linebacker in the first Round (last one was Carl Banks in
1984) but with the new era of QB/TE’s they should consider a do it all
linebacker here (Ogletree/Brown).
Tank Carradine is an elite talent (6’5,260) who is
overcoming ACL injuries, clear first round ability when healthy. If he checks out medically it’s possible a
team takes a shot at him early in Round 1.
He is a top 10 talent and a complete 4-3 DE who can also play OLB in the
3-4 D.
*Great Pro Day, stock up.
He should end up as a top 20 pick now.
Probable first round pick as high as #10, without the injury he would be
considered for the #2 overall pick.
20. Chicago Bears – Tyler Eifert TE Notre Dame
*Buzz has Linebacker
penciled in here. O-Line, TE, MLB, slot
WR. The Bears needed upgrades across the
offensive line to give Cutler a chance to be successful, which they did in free
agency. They now could look for a future
MLB like Manti Teo/Ogletree/Brown. The top
available Guard (Cooper) or the best RT in DJ Fluker should still be considered.
Adding the best TE in the draft to pair with Bennett is intriguing.
TE Tyler Eifert
(6’6, 250) should be a strong consideration here. He’s battling Stanford’s TE Zach Ertz as the
first TE off the board. Either TE could easily go mid/late in the 1st
round. He’s a great receiver and fits
the new era of pass catching Tight Ends.
*Update: Eifert outscored Zach Ertz in all areas at the Combine.
21. Cincinnati Bengals – DJ Fluker OT Alabama
*Buzz has a Safety
like LSU Eric Reid landing here. The
Bengals have been one of the best drafting teams over the last few years and
will be looking to load up with all their picks. What a great pick-up in LB
Vontez Burfict as an undrafted free agent last year. Need areas are a 3 down RB, DE, Safety and
LB. DE Michael Johnson got the Franchise
Tag so DE is no longer a pressing need. It’s
a bit early for a RB here (Eddie Lacy). A
lot of buzz that a safety lands here now (Matt Elam).
Stock up
for Fluker (6’4, 355/long arms), could move into the 12 with a team making the
mistake of thinking he can play Left Tackle.
A massive Right Tackle, doesn’t have the feet for a LT but will be a
dominate RT. *Most have him in the mid-1st Round. *Buzz that he could go as high as the
Dolphins in Round 1. It now looks like
he’s going to be over drafted; I wouldn’t use a top 20 pick on a Right Tackle.
22. St. Louis Rams (via Redskins) – Alec Ogletree LB Georgia
The Rams could go a
lot of different ways with this pick; it all depends on what they do at pick
#16. (Safety, O-line, WR and LB)
Ogletree (6’3, 225)
is the total package on the field, off the field is another question. A three down linebacker with sideline to
sideline speed and he can play all three LB positions (I see a middle
linebacker but he could play Will/Sam backer in the 4-3. Good size/speed and a nose for the
football. Ogletree averaged over 10
tackles per game, the guy’s a machine.
He’s a former safety with amazing athletic ability and will only get
better. *Update: Charged with a DUI a
week before the combine, just awful. His
stock is all over the place right now; he was also suspended for the first four
games in 2012 due to a positive drug test.
*Stock down: Off the field concerns.
23. Minnesota Vikings – Codarrelle Patterson WR Tennessee
*Buzz has LB Manti
Teo or DT Sylvester Williams along with their top rated WR for the two Vikings
picks. The Vikings need more WR help to
compliment Peterson and Rudolf and now Greg Jennings. They just need to continue to surround Ponder
with weapons to maximize his potential.
Other options include DT/MLB or CB.
The Vikings should take the best available WR to make this offense the
juggernaut it can be with Adrian Peterson.
Patterson (6’3, 210)
has the most upside of any WR in the draft and is trying to fight off Tavon
Austin as the first WR off the board. He
is truly fun to watch, he glides effortlessly like Randy Moss. He’s raw in route running but his
size/speed/hands make him the total package as a prospect. *Combine: Showed elite athletic ability,
stock up. *Rumors now have him dropping
24. Indianapolis Colts – Xavier Rhodes CB Florida St
**Trade down
Alert**
*Buzz has a pass
rusher landing here or Corner. Protect
Andrew Luck at all cost, he’s the franchise.
Even with the free agent O-Line upgrades I think they should still
consider an O-Lineman. CB, OL/ DT/OLB
(pass rush) are also big needs. With the loss of their second round pick (Vonte
Davis) they could trade down and still get their player while recouping their 2nd
round pick.
Rhodes is
a big (6’2, 215), physical, athletic corner who has really raised his draft
stock during the combine/team workouts.
Physically imposing with great ball skills. *Great Combine, showed speed
and ball skills. A bit stiff in the hips
but that’s the tradeoff you get with a big corner.
25. Minnesota Vikings (Seahawks) – Manti Teo ILB Notre Dame
Vikings
acquire this pick in the Percy Harvin trade.
Sounds like this pick will come down to the best MLB or DT, assuming
they draft a WR at pick 23.
And now we get to
Manti Teo, this is one crazy story and his draft stock is all over the place
right now. The interview process becomes
HUGE for him now as teams try and figure out what kind of guy he really is off the
field. The talent is there and should
trump any character concerns come draft day.
You can’t deny his production and complete overall game. He’s very aggressive in the run game and has
the athletic ability to cover TE’s and RB’s out of the backfield. He could be the best player available here
and at a position of need. *Update:
Really struggled against Alabama’s pro like O-Line, Ogletree and Minter could
pass him. *Combine: Did well in media
session but a bad 40 (4.80). Improved 40 time at his Pro Day.
26. Green Bay Packers – Datone Jones DE/DT UCLA
*Buzz has RB Eddie
Lacy, interior O-Line or another pass rusher.
O-line/D-Line/Linebackers are needs and TE Finley will not be around
forever, but he will be back for the 2013 season. The Packers can take the best player
available here given their talented roster.
Even with TE Finley coming back TE’s Tyler Eifert/Zach Ertz should be
considered. An O-Lineman should be
considered if available. Hearing OT/OG
Justin Pugh.
Stock way
up, great Senior Bowl/Combine. Datone
Jones is a big (6’4, 280) DE who could land in the mid first Round. Can play 4-3 Left DE or 5 technique in the
3-4 (best fit). He’s big,
athletic/powerful and can get after the QB.
Could easily land as high as the Giants at #19.
27. Houston Texans – Justin Hunter WR Tennessee
*Buzz has WR, inside
linebacker, Right Tackle and TE. A #2 WR
(who will eventually become the #1) is still a need and an impact inside
linebacker could bring the Texans D back to last year’s dominance. *Update: Texans Owner says ILB and WR are need
areas. *Looks like a WR is a very strong option here.
An ACL injury in
2011 drops Hunter a bit. At (6’4, 200)
he is pro ready and extremely talented with great size/speed. *Combine: Great showing all around (speed/vert/explosive)
28. Denver Broncos – Bjoern Werner DE/OLB Florida St
*Buzz has
a pass rushing OLB/Middle Linebacker or Corner landing here, I’m not buying the
RB in round 1 talk. Champ Baily is on
the decline and CB depth is a need area (even with great, low risk Rodgers-Cromartie signing) along with DT/OLB/ILB and
Safety. Reports say a RB will be looked
at in the first 3 rounds. I think the
best available defensive player will be the pick.
Werner is drawing
comparisons to DE Chris Long but he’s not the athlete Long is. He can play in the 4-3 (best fit) at DE or
the 3-4 as the pass rushing OLB (not ideal).
Werner (6”4, 255) continues to move up and down draft boards. The tape shows an instinctive knowledge of
his position as he loves to knock down passes like JJ Watt when he knows he
can’t get to the QB. *Combine showed he was not as athletic as first thought
but the guys a football player. *Stock
is dropping, once thought to be a top 6 pick.
29. New England Patriots – DeAndre Hopkins WR Clemson
**Trade down
Alert**
*Buzz has Boise St.
Cornerback Jamar Taylor landing here. The
Patriots could really go in any direction here.
Needs include CB, WR and Safety. I
think the #1 option here would be to trade down (to a team looking for a QB) and
get their player in Round 2 while recouping some of the mid-round picks they
lost through trades. Corners Desmond
Trufant or Xavier Rhodes fit BB’s scheme and would make a lot of sense here as
would Safety Matt Elam (BB loves his Florida players). *It’s clear now the top need
is an outside vertical threat WR. *Buzz
has the Pats targeting Jamar Taylor CB Boise St. I know they rarely draft WR in the first
round but maybe this is the year.
A difference maker
at WR like “Nuke” Hopkins (6’1, 200), who can really stretch the field, would
greatly benefit any QB. In the mold of
Roddy White, the more you watch the more he moves up the draft. He can make an impact from day one; some
scouts view him as the #1 WR in the draft. *Combine: Great all around combine, impressive hands to
go along with explosive speed.
30. Atlanta Falcons – Desmond Trufant CB Washington
**Trade up
Alert**
*Buzz has the
Falcons trading up for CB Dee Milliner/Trufant or a top DE. Needs include DE, DT, TE, CB and some help on
the O-Line. I think the #1 priority is
to find a day one starting CB. A TE
could be in the mix but it’s a deep draft for TE’s and to be honest Tony G is
showing no signs of slowing down, he’s actually getting better if that’s even
possible. If the top 5 CB’s are gone a
DE would make a lot of sense because the corners in round 2 would be rated
higher than the pass rushers.
Stock up, possible
mid-1st round. Great
Senior Bowl/Combine, showing off his man to man cover skills (6’0, 185). NFL bloodlines who has a chance to be the
second CB off the board in round one. *Combine: Showed top end speed in the 40 yard
dash. Could go higher in round 1 now. Tape shows he’s not as physical with
receivers as you want, that’s the only reason he could drop a bit.
31. San Francisco 49ers – Jonathan Cyprien SS Florida Int.
*Buzz has Safety, DE
and TE. The 49ers have a great defense
but lack depth on the D-Line. The best
available CB/S would make a lot of sense here as well.
Stock up for the 6’0, 210lb. impact safety. A big, physical safety with the athletic
ability to cover anyone on the field. A
rare blend of size and speed with elite cover skills. *Lots of buzz right now, mid 1st
round possible.
32. Baltimore Ravens – Kevin Minter ILB LSU
*Buzz has WR, Inside
Linebacker and Safety. Ray Lewis
finished his Hall of Fame career with a Super Bowl victory and it’s time to
find his replacement. Safety could also be
in play here (Florida S Matt Elam or FIU Safety Cyprien).
Minter (6’0, 250) is
a physical, aggressive linebacker who is always attacking. Big thumper who takes on blocks well, speed
is not his game. Best fit in the 3-4 D
but can play in the 4-3.
Round 2
33. Jacksonville Jaguars – Matt Barkley QB USC
*Trade Up*
Barkley (6’2, 220) is pro-ready (West Coast),
accurate and a leader. He doesn’t have
any remarkable tools (Height/ Speed/Arm).
We’ve seen reaches before and we’ll see it again this year. He’s a better prospect than USC QB’s Sanchez
and Lienart but not on the level of a Carson Palmer. His experience (starter since a freshman)
will be a big plus in the eyes of scouts.
*Combine:*Update: watching the 2011 game tape you do see why he should
be considered a top 10 pick. Some buzz that
a team will trade back into the end of round 1 for Barkley. Deep ball accuracy/arm strength was an issue
at his Pro Day.
34. San Francisco 49ers (via Kansas City Chiefs) – Margus Hunt DE SMU
Stock up physically
(6’8, 277). Physical Freak/Raw with
untapped potential. May be best suited
as a 5 Technique in the 3-4 D but can play LE in the 4-3. Game tape shows limited pass-rushing
moves. He could go as high as the late 1st
round to the 49ers. *I’m
higher on him than most, love the upside.
35. Philadelphia Eagles – EJ Manuel QB Florida State
*Trade Up*
At 6’4, 220 he has all the physical tools and should
continue to climb draft boards, I expect someone to take a chance on him in
round 1 or early Round 2. His game tape
is wildly inconsistent; he needs a good coach and talent around him. Amazing upside, as both a read option QB and
pocket passer. Right now he does not
have great footwork and his decision making is poor but I just have a gut
feeling about this guy, can’t explain it but I’m sticking with him. *Stock up, good Senior Bowl and great
Combine. I’m higher on him than most;
I’d take late 1, early round 2.
36. Detroit Lions – D.J. Hayden, CB, Houston
Amazing story here,
Hayden almost died after a freak injury in practice in which he tore a piece of
his heart. Only %5 of people survive
this injury and now it appears he is back to %100 and is being considered one of
the top overall players in the entire draft.
Mike Mayock ranks him as the #1 CB in the draft and the #14 overall
player. Mayock thinks he will go in the
top 20 picks but the question is: what do teams think about this freak injury
and is he still on team boards. He has
good size (5’11, 190) and great technique with 4.38 speed. But will teams pass on him with his huge
medical red flag?
37. Cincinnati Bengals (via Raiders) – Eddie Lacy RB Alabama
Lacy could be 1st
RB off the board. Any potential 3-down
RB will be in demand. A slow 40 time at
his pro day hurts, he seemed out of shape.
He still could land in the first round even with all the question marks.
Cleveland Browns – *(2012
Supplemental Draft)
38. Arizona Cardinals – Meneilk Watson OT Florida St
I think he will go
earlier in the first round than we all expect (Dolphins/Saints). Meneilk Watson (6’6, 320) has the upside to
be a Franchise Left Tackle (would start career off at right tackle) and you
don’t pass on that. He could rise to
this spot by draft day. *Stock up,
Big/athletic former Basketball player.
He has everything you want in a Left Tackle except experience.
39. New York Jets – Jamar Taylor CB Boise St
Stock up. Taylor (5’11, 190) is a tough, physical
corner with 4.39 speed. He can play in
any scheme. Looks like he could land at
the end of round 1.
40. Tennessee Titans – Larry
Warford G Kentucky
Stock up (6’3,
333). A Big mauler, very impressive on
film with his ability to just manhandle defensive tackles. He’s your day one starter at RG.
41. Buffalo Bills – Robert Woods WR USC
(6’1, 190) Production down this year with injured
Barkley. Extremely productive freshman
and sophomore year. Great hands, route
running. Late 1st to early 2nd
round is now possible. Looks like a
young Reggie Wayne on film. *Combine: So impressive in drills
and interviews, stock is only going up.
Looks like the most pro ready WR in the draft.
42. Miami Dolphins – Justin Pugh OG/OT Syracuse
Stock
down as a Left Tackle/ Stock up at Guard (6’4, 305/short arms, guard), May not
make it at Left Tackle but could be an impact Guard.
43. Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Kawann Short DT Purdue
With Revis landing
in Tampa Bay, corner is no longer the #1 need but should still be
addressed. The top needs now are pass
rush help at DT and DE along with a TE and CB depth.
Stock up, DT Short
(6’3, 310) has been impressive with his quick burst off the line and ability to
be explosive (great hands) and make plays in the backfield. Could go anywhere from mid-1st to
late 2nd with the great DT depth in this draft. A rare sack machine from the defensive tackle
position.
44. Carolina Panthers – Keenan Allen WR California
Keenan Allen was
battling Tennessee WR Codarrelle Patterson and WR Tavon Austin for the #1 WR
prospect spot in the draft but his injury has left his draft landing spot
cloudy. Allen, 6’3, 200lbs, has all the
traits you look for in a WR with great Height/Weight/Physical and
production. Not elite speed but can
create space off the line. Allen battles for every ball like Anquan
Boldin. Combine: did not work out due to
injury/Poor pro day. Scouts compare him
to Reggie Wayne.
45. San Diego Chargers – Terron Armstead OT Ark. Pine Bluff
*Stock up; great combine with fastest 40 yard time in
Offensive lineman history. Extremely
athletic, possible round 2 or 3 now.
Best D1 AA prospect.
New Orleans Saints – *Forfeited (Bounty)
46. St. Louis Rams – Giovanni Bernard RB North Carolina
He’s battling Eddie
Lacy/Montee Ball and Franklin to be the top RB in the draft. A complete 3 down back with home run ability
any time he touches the ball. He’s
tough, doesn’t shy away from blocking and a receiving threat out of the
backfield.
47. Dallas Cowboys – Eric Reid FS LSU
A big hitting Free
Safety at 6’2, 205. Reid could go as
high as the Rams or Bengals in Round 1.
48. Pittsburgh Steelers – Jonathan Franklin RB UCLA
*Stock up, very good Combine. Drawing comparisons to Bucs RB Doug Martin,
could be #1 RB off the board
49. New York Giants – Arthur Brown LB Kansas St
Stock up, mid round 1 is possible. Brown (6’1, 240) is an athletic/versatile LB
who has played MLB but his best fit may be WLB in the 4-3 D or ILB in the 3-4
D. Started career with the Miami
Hurricanes. He has bulked up a bit but
hasn’t lost a step, a rare prospect: size of a LB with speed of a safety. Could go as high as the NYG at #19. *Some
whispers now about lingering injuries, he has not been able to fully work
out. He is still a top 15 talent.
50. Chicago Bears – Khaseem Greene LB Rutgers
Stock up, could climb into the second round. An athletic former Safety, now a sideline to
sideline LB. Best fit in the 4-3 but a
3-4 team could look at him as in OLB/ILB.
51. Washington Redskins – Johnthan Banks CB Mississippi St
Banks is a big (6’2,
185), physical corner who looks to be best suited for a zone coverage
secondary. *Update: Stock drops after
slow 40 and other CB’s rise (Trufant/Rhodes/Taylor/Hayden).
52. Minnesota Vikings – Darius Slay, CB Mississippi State
Stock up, Round 2 possible after
great combine and film study shows he’s just as good as teammate CB Johnthan
Banks. Stands 6’0, 190lbs with 4.36 speed.
53. Cincinnati Bengals – Matt Elam SS Florida
Elam could go late
in the 1st and is a playmaking Strong Safety. (5’10, 200) A ball hawk in the mold of Ed
Reed; plays aggressive and loves contact.
Great hands, goes up and attacks the ball. Plays with a swagger and backs it up. *Stock
up, solid Combine.
54. Miami Dolphins (via Colts) – Damontre Moore DE/OLB Texas A&M
“Damonster” Moore
(6’4, 250) is a pure pass-rusher with experience at OLB and DE. Non-Stop motor, always headed up field
attacking the QB. Strength is now in
question after only 12 reps on the bench.
Even if he drops some there is no denying his pass rush skills. He’s better on the field than in shorts at
the combine, the tape doesn’t lie and he can get to the QB. *Update: Poor Combine, Stock is dropping like
a rock. Not overly athletic or strong.
55. Green Bay Packers – Kyle Long OT/OG Oregon
Stock up
(Room to grow/Howie Longs son). Long can
play O-Tackle or Guard. *Good combine, showed his athleticism.
56. Seattle Seahawks – John Jenkins NT/DT Georgia
Jenkins goes 6’3,
350lbs and is just a massive human being with good athleticism working inside
in the 3-4 Defense or DT in a 4-3. Vince Wilfork type frame.
57. Houston Texans – Jon Bostic ILB Florida
*Stock up, great Combine.
Faster than I expected
58. Denver Broncos – Montee Ball RB Wisconsin
Round 2/3
(5’11, 215). Best fit in a Zone blocking
scheme.
59. New England Patriots – Blidi Wreh-Wilson CB Connecticut
Stock up, big/physical corner (6’1, 190 lbs.) Could easily land in round 1 or 2. I think he should go higher, like everything
about his game.
60. Atlanta Falcons – Cornelius Washington DE/OLB Georgia
Stock up, great combine. Tape is not great but the talent is there.
61. San Francisco 49ers – Zach Ertz TE Stanford
Ertz could go
mid/late 1st round. At 6’6, 250lbs. he’s more of a pass catching TE
but his blocking has improved. He’s a
better all-around prospect than former teammate Colby Fleener. *Update: Not a great combine, was outshined
by ND TE Tyler Eifert.
62. Baltimore Ravens – D.J. Swearinger FS South Carolina
Stock up (5’11, 210).
Plays aggressive, big hitter with impressive all-around game tape. Early 2nd Round buzz.
Round 3
63. Kansas City Chiefs – Corey Lemonier DE/OLB Auburn
Stock up,
Round 1 talent.
64. Jacksonville Jaguars – Robert Alford, CB
Southeastern Louisiana
Stock up,
Combine
65. Detroit Lions – Alex Oakfor DE/OLB Texas
(6’4, 260) Stock
down. Once viewed as a late first round
prospect. He did not work out
at the Combine due to injury. *Update:
Mixed review from scouts, now say anywhere from Round 2 to Round 4.
66. Oakland Raiders – Tyler Bray QB Tennessee
Tools are there, maturity questions remain. *Stock up: great
combine overall, did look good when he
got in a rhythm during passing drills.
Looks like he is destined for the third round.
67. Philadelphia Eagles – Jonathan Hankins DT/NT Ohio St
Hankins is a NT in
the 3-4 but is scheme diverse and can play DT in the 4-3 Defense. At 6’4, 320 he’s a space eater with
surprising burst off the line. He didn’t
look great at the combine but his game tape backs up this selection.
68. Cleveland Browns – Jordan Poyer CB Oregon St
A rising CB prospect
that fills a need. (5’11, 180) also helps
in the return game.
69. Arizona Cardinals – Mike Glennon QB North Carolina St
Glennon (6’6, 205)
is a pocket/vertical passing QB. If a
team falls in love with his tools/upside and disregards his game tape/decision
making, he could go in the top 10 come draft day. His decision making is the big question mark
(as is his lack of pure athletic ability) and watching his game tape he is
wildly inconsistent. The tools (as a
vertical passing threat) are there to be a starter and you’re hearing Ryan
Mallet as a comparison but with no off the field questions. *Update: Good Senior Bowl, powerful arm and
good deep ball. Clearly needs to put on
weight and find a weight room. *Combine: Average
70. Tennessee Titans – Logan Ryan CB Rutgers
Looks like a solid round 2 prospect, complete CB. At 6’0, 190 lbs. he excels at man coverage.
*I think he’s going to be a great CB and a steal here.
71. Buffalo Bills – Travis
Frederick OG/C Wisconsin
His best
position looks to be Guard even though he played Center in 2012. Wisconsin keeps pumping out O-Line prospects.
A versatile (6’4, 310lbs) interior offensive lineman.
72. New York Jets – Tyler Wilson QB Arkansas
Wilson (6’2, 215)
has the arm and makeup to be a solid starter.
His film is inconsistent (as is every QB this year) deep ball accuracy
is a problem and his O-Line was truly awful this year forcing a lot of
ill-advised throws which is making him an even tougher evaluations for
scouts. Wilson has the talent to go in
the first round to the Cards/Bills and Jets.
You really have to watch the 2011 film to see the talent. *Small hands may be causing the deep ball “floaters”
73. Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Gavin Escobar TE San Diego ST
Stock way up, Round 2 or 3. Scouts have him as the #3 TE in the
draft. Physically the same as top TE’s
Tyler Eifert and Zach Ertz.
74. San Francisco 49ers (via Panthers) – Quinton Patton WR LA Tech
Stock up, Round 2 probable. (6’2, 210) impressive Senior
Bowl proved he belongs with the top 5 WR prospects.*Impressive combine, looks like round 2 lock.
75. New Orleans Saints – Jamie Collins OLB Southern Miss
*Stock up: Elite Combine performance, showed explosion
throughout the entire test.
76. San Diego Chargers – Brandon Williams DT Missouri Southern
Stock up, Round 2/3.
The best D2 defensive talent.
77. Miami Dolphins – J.J. Wilcox S Georgia Southern
Stock up, Round 2/3
buzz
78. St. Louis Rams – Terrance Williams WR Baylor
Williams (6’2,
200lbs) matches great size with speed and is a better prospect then last year
Baylor 1st rounder Kendall Wright.
*Combine: Good not great, other WR are passing him.
79. Pittsburgh Steelers – Marquise Goodwin WR Texas
Stock up, amazing speed. A true
vertical threat who can play outside and in the slot. Has some Mike Wallace to his game.
*Fastest 40 yard dash at the Combine
80. Dallas Cowboys – Bennie Logan DT LSU
Given his
athleticism and pass rush ability, I think he can play in any defensive front
and pressure the QB.
81. New York Giants – David Amerson CB/S North Carolina
A big, 6’1 corner
that could end up at Safety. Great size
and versatility. Says he’s willing to
move to Safety. Combine: Showed corner
speed (4.4), Stock up.
82. Miami Dolphins (via Bears) – Aaron Dobson WR Marshall
Stock up, Round 2/3. A big (6’3, 200), polished route runner with
plus deep speed. A future #1 WR option.
83. Minnesota Vikings – Jesse Williams DT Alabama
A big DT (6’4, 320)
that can play in the 4-3 or 3-4. More of
a space eater than pass rusher.
84. Cincinnati Bengals – Da’Rick Rogers WR Tennessee Tech
WR Rodgers started
off at Tennessee; he was kicked off the team then transferred to Tech. (6’2,
205) Rodgers is a big physical WR with good speed. Upside, character concerns with round 1
talent. At the combine he was compared
to Dez Bryant by several analysts. *Stock up: Great combine
85. Washington Redskins – Dallas Thomas OG/OT Tennessee
Thomas
looks like he will kick inside to Guard or RT (6’5, 305/Guard, RT)
86. Indianapolis Colts – David Bakhtiari OT/OG Colorado
Looks like he will move to Left Guard. *Stock up, Combine buzz, Round 2 or 3.
87. Seattle Seahawks – Sio Moore OLB Connecticut
Stock up, good Senior Bowl, Great
Combine. Round 2-3.
88. Green Bay Packers – David Quessenberry, OT/G/C San Jose State
Stock up, versatile/interior O-Line
89. Houston Texans – Travis Kelce TE Cincinnati
Stock up for play, Stock down for off the field issues. Scout called him a train wreck. He has round 1 talent.
90. Denver Broncos – Sanders Commings CB Georgia
Stock up
91. New England Patriots – Shamarko Thomas SS Syracuse
Stock up: Great Combine, physical
freak. Big hitting safety in the mold of
Bob Sanders. He’s overcome a lot in his
personal life (lost both parents during college and now cares for his 5
siblings). Mature beyond his years, he’s
going to be a success story in the NFL.
*Move up/Round 2/3
92. Atlanta Falcons – Ryan Swope WR Texas A&M
Stock up (6’1, 205). Great Combine, 2nd round buzz.
93. San Francisco 49ers – William Gholston DE/DT Michigan St
Better fit in the 3-4 D as 5 Technique.
94. Baltimore Ravens – Brian Schwenke C California
Stock up
95. Houston Texans (comp) Marc Anthony CB California
Round 3 or 4.
96. Kansas City Chiefs (comp) Stedman Bailey WR West Virginia
Stock up. A very fast (5’10, 190) slot receiver with
great hands and big play ability.
97. Tennessee Titans (comp) Michael Buchanan DE Illinois
Stock up
Round 4
98.
Jacksonville – TJ McDonald FS USC
Stock up,
big/physical safety. Stock down: game
tape. Needs to take better angles on
WR/TE when playing centerfield.
99. Kansas City – Kiko Alonso ILB Oregon
Rising Middle Linebacker prospect.
100. Oakland – Sam Montgomery DE/OLB LSU
Stock down. Not as productive as you would think while
playing on the most talented D-Line in College Football. LSU coaches are saying he doesn’t work hard,
big red flag. *Admitted to gabling with
teammates at LSU and not playing as hard vs. lesser competition. Unbelievable, someone needs to talk to this
guy. Stock way down.
101. Philadelphia – Ricky Wagner OT Wisconsin
Right Tackle
102. Minnesota (via Lions) – Akeem Spence DT Illinois
Stock up, solid Combine
103. Arizona – Leon McFadden CB SD St.
104. Cleveland – Devin Taylor DE/OLB South Carolina
Underrated DE, overshadowed by next year’s top pick J.
Clowney. *Stock up, Combine
105. Buffalo – Sean Porter OLB Texas A&M
Stock down. 4-3 OLB
106. New York Jets – Christine Michael RB Texas A&M
*Stock up, great combine.
Impressive speed, character concerns.
107. Tennessee – Jordan Reed TE Florida
Stock up (Aaron
Hernandez is training Reed). Former QB
still learning the position, Aaron Hernandez comparisons are out
there.*Combine: Stock down, checked in shorter and lighter
108. Carolina – Earl Wolff SS North Carolina State
Stock up Round 3-4.
109. New Orleans – Bacarri Rambo FS Georgia
Playmaker/ball hawk
110. San Diego – Markus Wheaton WR Oregon St
Combine: Stock up
111. Miami – Jelani Jenkins OLB Florida
Stock up, great Combine
112. Tampa Bay – B.W. Webb CB William & Mary
Stock up, more CB help.
113. St. Louis – Gerald Hodges OLB Penn State
114. Dallas – Le'Veon Bell RB Michigan State
A big (6’2, 240) RB, more than just a power back with
improved receiving skills out of the backfield.
*Stock up: Great combine
115. Pittsburgh – Kevin Reddick ILB North Carolina
Stock up, weak ILB draft class could push him up boards
116. New York Giants – Barrett Jones C/G/T Alabama
Jones is the most
versatile O-Lineman in the draft and has played all 5 positions along the
line. He plays through injuries and has
a fiery personality to go along with his aggressive interior O-Line play. *Injuries may be more serious now and could
push him down.
117. Chicago – Dwayne Gratz CB Connecticut
Stock up, great combine.
118. Cincinnati – Tony Jefferson FS Oklahoma
In the box, big hitting safety
119. Washington – Kwame Geathers DT Georgia
120. Minnesota – Mike Gillislee, RB Florida
Home run hitting RB/speed back
121. Indianapolis – Zaviar Gooden OLB Missouri
*Stock way up, great Combine. Fastest 40 time for all linebackers.
122. Green Bay – Marcus Lattimore, RB South Carolina
If not for injuries he would be a 1st
round pick. Special talent, unfortunate
injuries over the last two years have cost him.
Could go as high as round 2. I’m
a big fan. *Stock up: Sounds like his
recovery is way ahead of schedule.
123. Seattle –Alvin Bailey G Arkansas
Could go in the 3rd round
124. Houston – Oday Aboushi OT Virginia
Stock down as a Left
Tackle after being pushed around at Senior Bowl. Will land at left guard/right tackle if he
can’t play Left Tackle. Virginia has put
out a lot of solid OL prospects.
125. Denver – Brian Winters, OT/G Kent State
126. Tampa Bay – Morgan Breslin DE/OLB USC
127. Atlanta – Vance McDonald TE Rice
*Stock up, Round 3/4. Great Combine, Jason Witten comparisons.
128. San Francisco - Everett Dawkins, DT Florida State
129. Baltimore – Tyrann Mathieu CB LSU
Stock up
after impressive Combine, anywhere from round 2-5. Elite ball/return skills, 4.5 40 yard
dash. Who will take a chance on him?
130. Baltimore (comp) Brennan Williams OT North Carolina
Raw LT
prospect, Upside pick
131. San Francisco (comp) Denard Robinson WR/KR Michigan
Former QB, learning the WR
position. Better combine than I
expected, clearly putting in the work.
132. Detroit (comp) Kenny Stills WR Oklahoma
Stock up
133. Atlanta (comp) Brandon McGee CB Miami (Fla.)
Stock up, nice Combine. Great speed but undersized. I’m a fan.
Round 5
134. Kansas City – Zac Dysert QB Miami Ohio
Inconsistent QB who shows flashes,
a team could take a chance on him in Round 3 or 4.
135. Jacksonville - Cyril Richardson G/OT Baylor
136. Philadelphia - Tharold Simon CB LSU
A big CB (6’3), mixed review from scouts.
137. Detroit - Trevardo Williams OLB Connecticut
*Stock up, could go
Round 2/3. Great Combine
138. Seattle (Oakland) – Kenjon Barner RB Oregon
Stock up

167. Green Bay Packers (comp) Wes Horton DE/OLB Southern
California
168. Baltimore Ravens (comp) John

6
169. Jacksonville Jaguars - Montori Hughes NT/DT Tennessee-Martin

172. Oakland Raiders - Malliciah Goodman DE/OLB Clemson
173. Cleveland Browns (via Philadelphia Eagles) - Luke Marquardt OT Azusa Pacific
174. Oakland Raiders (Arizona Cardinals) - Josh Evans FS Florida
Josh Evans was over shadowed by Matt Elam but he’s a very
good FS prospect.
175. San Francisco 49ers (Cleveland Browns) - Marquess Wilson WR Washington State
176. Arizona Cardinals (via Vikings) (Tennessee) - Bruce Taylor ILB Virginia Tech
177. Buffalo Bills - J.C. Tretter OG Cornell

Interesting QB, who could be looked at as read option project QB.

speed. Character/fumbling concerns. 1st round talent but a lot of issues.
185. Dallas Cowboys - Lavar Edwards DE LSU
Stock up, good Combine
186. Pittsburgh Steelers - Levine Toilolo TE Stanford
A giant TE and immediate red zone threat. (6’8,250)
187. New York Giants - Dion Sims TE Michigan State
More of a blocker than pass catcher at this stage.
188. Chicago Bears - Braxton Cave C Notre Dame
189. Minnesota Vikings - Sean Renfree QB Duke
*Stock up, Lots of buzz as this
year’s sleeper QB
190. Cincinnati Bengals - Chris Gragg TE Arkansas
