7 Rounds
Updated: (3/6/14)
ROUND ONE
1. Houston Texans: Blake Bortles QB,
UCF
At 6’5,
230lbs Bortles has the size and athletic ability you want in your Franchise
QB. Some scouts have gone as far to call
him “Andrew Luck-Lite” and a “Ben Roethlisberger clone”, I’m not there yet but
he’s an intriguing prospect and is quickly rising up draft boards. More tape
shows he’s terribly inconsistent with accuracy and footwork issues, I think he
needs more time. Also, I’m not seeing
anything more than average arm strength. *Combine: The only top QB to compete
in all the drills, he really helped himself and seems to be the NFL scouts #1
QB.
Team Needs:
Franchise QB, RT, ILB, S, and CB
The Texans
will be deciding between 3 QB’s: Bridgewater, Bortles and Manziel. The other option would be Jadeveon Clowney
here and a QB at the top of Round 2.
*TRADE* Rams Trade #2 pick to Falcons
for Pick #6 and 2015 2nd and 4th Round Pick
2. Atlanta Falcons: Jadeveon Clowney DE, South Carolina
The 6’6,
270lb Defensive End is a freakish athlete with unlimited upside. He compares favorably to a combination of pro
bowl DE’s Julius Peppers and Robert Quinn, with the freak athleticism of Javon
Kearse. I don’t care that his stats were
down in 2013, all I’m doing is projecting his game to the next level and he has
a great future. It seems pretty clear
that he was just protecting himself from injury, which is understandable
considering what former teammate RB Marcus Lattimore went through last
year. His size/speed/power can’t be
denied and he should be a double digit sack machine as soon as he enters the
NFL.
Team Needs:
DE/OLB, OT/OG, TE
The Falcons
will look to address the Offensive and Defensive Line early and often in the
draft.
3. Jacksonville Jaguars: Teddy Bridgewater QB, Louisville
Teddy
Bridgewater is my #1 QB prospect and has everything you look for in a franchise
QB. At 6’2, 215lbs he was able to pack
on 15 pounds for the combine but scouts still worry about his slim build,
particularly his lower half. A strong,
accurate passer who excels at keeping his cool in the pocket and throwing on
the run when pressure forces him outside.
Great vision and touch to go along with his leadership and command in
the huddle. *Combine: Disappointing he
didn’t work out as he could have distinguished himself as the #1 QB.
Team Needs:
Franchise QB, DE, RT, CB, LB
In Round 1
expect the Jags to draft their Franchise QB or Jadeveon Clowney.
4. Cleveland Browns: Johnny Manziel QB, Texas A&M
Johnny
Football checked in at 5’11 ¾, 207lbs at the combine, he ran well and by all
accounts interviewed very well. Last
year I had him pegged as an upside 3rd round pick but this year I’ve
seen increased arm strength and improved accuracy which puts him right in the
mix as a top 10 pick. I don’t see the Drew
Brees comparisons, just because he’s short doesn’t mean he plays like all other
short QB’s. To me, his play most
resembles Doug Flutie with all the scrambling and ability to make positive
plays when it seems everything has broken down, the question is can he play
within the pocket on a consistent basis?
He struggled in college when teams made a concentrated effort to contain
him between the tackles and not allow him to run free and improvise The big question is how teams will evaluate
his personality, ability to lead a franchise and off the field question
marks. He’s simply a playmaker and his
skills on the field can’t be denied.
*The Godfather Gil Brandt ranks Johnny Football as the #1 Prospect in
the entire draft. How awesome is Gil
Brandt? Honestly, Gil is just tremendous
even if you don’t agree with him you have to respect the Godfather.
Team Needs:
Franchise QB, RB, WR, OG, nickel CB
With two
first Round picks the Browns should take their future QB with one of the picks.
5. Oakland Raiders: Sammy Watkins WR, Clemson
A true #1 WR
option at 6’1, 180lbs. He’s a threat to
score from anywhere on the field with great speed and run after the catch
ability to go along with great hands.
Although he’s a little smaller/faster, he looks similar to Larry
Fitzgerald coming out of Pitt.
Team Needs:
Franchise QB, DE, WR, CB, OT, RB
The Raiders
can go so many ways with this pick: Top QB, O-Line/D-Line or best player
available like Sammy Watkins
*TRADE* Rams Trade #2 pick to Falcons
for Pick #6 and 2015 2nd and 4th Round Pick
6. St. Louis Rams (via Washington): Greg Robinson OT, Auburn
LT Greg
Robinson crushed the Combine with freakish athleticism to go along with his
great size (4.53/40 yard dash). He’s the
#1 OT prospect and could go as high as the #2 pick. Only a redshirt sophomore, the 6’5, 320lb
O-Tackle is everything you look for in a franchise Left Tackle. He has quick feet and surprising athleticism
for such a big guy. Already an elite run
blocker in Auburn’s offense, his pass protection skills are not far
behind. I would be shocked if such an
upside prospect last past the top 6 picks.
Team Needs:
OT, S, WR, CB, maybe QB
Rams #2 pick
is for sale (To Falcons for Clowney), maybe they can move down and still pick
LT Jake Matthews/Greg Robinson or they can pick DE Clowney even though they
have DE’s Robert Quinn/Chris Long. WR
Sammy Watkins would look good here too.
7. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Khalil Mack OLB, Buffalo
The 6’3,
240lb Mack has jumped Anthony Barr in the ranks. A former Hoops player, who only played one
season of football in high school, he received few offers at the D1 level. Buffalo was happy to have him and used him
all over the field to get after the QB.
He can line up anywhere but again his best fit as an OLB in the 3-4 but
will be just fine as a 4-3 SAM LB who rushes the passer and can slide down to
DE.
Team Needs:
DE/OLB, O-Line, TE, and another DT to pair with McCoy
8. Minnesota Vikings: Derek Carr QB, Fresno State
The brother
of former #1 pick David Carr, Derek Carr stands 6’2, 215lbs with a huge arm and
athletic ability. Some people seem to
think Carr is simply a system QB only capable of throwing quick slants out of
the shotgun; those people would be wrong and are letting his last name cloud
their judgment. He has the arm to make
every throw and the confidence to sneak it into tight windows. He does have issues with footwork and
changing his arm angles (sidearm) when under pressure, it appears he simply
trust his arm strength in any situation which leads to interceptions. For a comparison, Jay Cutler would work. *Stock is on the decline after a rough bowl
game and more film study; I might have him too high given the real problems he
has when under extreme pressure. Maybe
late round 1/early round 2 will be his final landing spot. *9’ 1/8 Hands – smaller than you want.
*Senior Bowl update: Clearly the top QB in Mobile, showing off his big arm
compared to the competition
Team Needs:
Franchise QB, DE, OG, and another S to pair with Smith
9. Buffalo Bills: Anthony Barr OLB, UCLA
A gifted
pass-rusher at 6’4, 245lbs, he has made the switch from FB/RB to elite rush
linebacker. Barr is capable of playing
in any scheme but his best fit as a 3-4 OLB.
If he goes to a 4-3 team he would play 4-3 SAM LB and be used like Von
Miller. Tremendous upside
Team Needs:
OT/OG, OLB, S, and WR (to go along with Johnson/Woods)
10. Detroit Lions: Justin Gilbert CB, Oklahoma State
The 6’1,
195lb corner has ideal size for today’s NFL.
He had a down year last year but turned everything around with a
dominate 2013 campaign. He’s the total
package at corner with great size, great speed and great ball skills. Could be the first CB of the board come draft
day and can help out in the return game. *Combine: Stock up, best 40 for all
CB’s with 4.37
Team Needs:
CB, #2 WR, S, OG/OC *( A WR like Evans or Lee might be better value here but
WR’s are deeper than top end CB’s this year)
11. Tennessee Titans: Jake Matthews OT, Texas A&M
At 6’5,
305lbs, Matthews is the fighting off Greg Robinson to be the #1 offensive
tackle selected in a talented class (less now with players returning). He excels as a pass protector with experience
as a right and left tackle, his future is at left tackle. With NFL bloodlines, he has been around the
game his entire life and carries himself like a pro. He’s the safest pick in the draft but lacks
the upside of LT Greg Robinson.
Team Needs:
CB (if Verner leaves), DE/OLB/Pass-Rush, Future OT’s, RB (if CJ gets cut), and
QB
12. New York Giants: Taylor Lewan OT, Michigan
Lewan is a
giant at 6’7, 305lbs and compares favorably to former Michigan #1 pick Jake
Long. An elite run blocker right now and
his pass protection skills have improved.
He’s really a mauler with a mean streak (off the field as well?). He may not have the upside of the younger
more athletic Greg Robinson but he’s a day one starter on the left side.
*Combine: Showed incredible athleticism for a man his size, running the fastest
40 yard dash of all the O-Lineman. Stock
is on the rise
Team Needs:
OG/OC, OT (if they move Justin Pugh to OG), CB, OLB, RB, WR, TE, and DT
13. St. Louis Rams: Haha Clinton-Dix FS, Alabama
Dix is the
#1 safety prospect and is trying to fight off FS Calvin Pryor to be the first
Safety selected. The free safety has the
speed to keep up with WR’s and the size to lay out any TE that chooses to cross
his path.
Team Needs:
OT, S, WR, CB
14. Chicago Bears: Kony Ealy DE/DT/OLB, Missouri
I seem to be
higher on the 6’5, 275lb DE/OLB than most; he’s a matchup nightmare with his
size/speed combo and ability to line up anywhere on the D-Line and attack the
QB. Long and versatile, Ealy has played
DE/OLB and even DT. I would take him as
high as the Falcons/Bucs pick in round one.
Team Needs:
DT, CB, S, OG, DE, LB (depth)
15. Pittsburgh Steelers: Louis Nix III NT/DT, Notre Dame
The Vince
Wilfork clone stands 6’2, 340lbs. He can
play in any defensive front as either a NT or DT. Surprising agility for a guy of his body
type, he does more than just occupy blockers and stuff the run as he can get to
the QB with his power moves. Must prove
he’s %100 healthy after missing time this year.
Team Needs:
OT, CB, S, Youth on the DL
16. Dallas Cowboys: Aaron Donald DT, Pittsburgh
Bengals DT Geno Atkins comparisons are legit. Moving up, could go as early as mid-1st
round now. 6’1, 290lbs. Undersized but a big time talent with
production too match. Dominant at the
Senior Bowl, beats guards and centers with speed/leverage and surprising
power. Great leverage/hands. *Combine: Great combine to match his Senior
Bowl; he is now the #1 DT on many scouts’ boards.
Team Needs:
All levels on Defense, DT, DE, CB, S
17. Baltimore Ravens: Mike Evans WR, Texas A&M
The jacked
6’5, 225lb WR is a Vincent Jackson clone with the jump ball ability of an
Alshon Jeffery. So I’m very high on his
potential as a pro with his size mismatch against any DB and his yard after
catch power. Love his whole game.
Team Needs:
OT, WR, CB
18. New York Jets: Odell Beckham, Jr. WR, LSU
Game
breaking, speed WR who could push himself into the mid-1st
Round. 5’11, 185lbs, a threat to score
on every play. Great Combine (4.43) 40 yard dash. Comps to DeSean Jackson and
Percy Harvin are real and accurate.
Team Needs:
Offensive playmakers, WR, TE, OG, OLB, S/CB, RB
19. Miami Dolphins: Zack Martin OT/OG, Notre Dame
The 6’4,
300lb Martin has been holding down Left Tackle for the Irish but it’s his
versatility is what makes him so valuable.
People want to move him inside to guard but I see the feet of a Left
Tackle with improved teaching at the next level. He can start day one at guard or right tackle
and build on his tools to be a future left tackle.
Team Needs:
OT/OG, DT, CB
20. Arizona Cardinals: Ra’Shede Hageman DT/DE, Minnesota
This monster
is 6’6, 310lbs with a rare size/speed/power resume and one of the best
prospects in the draft at any position.
Reminds me of former Jags DT John Henderson with some Ed “Too Tall”
Jones thrown in, big time upside and should move up the draft board. Another guy I’m higher on than most, but I
just love the upside and athletic ability.
He started out as a TE, then moved to DE and finally found a home at
DT. The knocks are he plays too high and
doesn’t use great leverage, these are correctable and when they are he’ll be a
real nightmare to scheme against. *Stock up, great combine
Team Needs: OT,
OLB/DE, Future QB
21. Green Bay Packers: C.J. Mosley LB, Alabama
A top ten
talent who may fall a bit due to his position.
The 6’2, 230lb linebacker can do it all as an inside linebacker or weak
side in a 4-3 Defense. What sets him
apart is his ability to cover receivers; he has great speed, technique, and
instincts as the leader of the Alabama Defense.
His skill set translates nicely to the next level and is scheme diverse.
Team Needs:
O-Line, TE, CB/S, LB, D-Line
22. Philadelphia Eagles: Darqueze Dennard CB, Michigan State
Dennard is
fighting off contenders (Justin Gilbert) to be the first CB off the board. The 5’11, 185lb corner is physical and battle
tested. He excels in man coverage and
fights for position on every play, the mindset of a linebacker in a corners
body is a huge benefit while going against the monster WR’s at the next level. *Combine: Stock up with a 4.51 40 yard
dash. Long speed is no longer a
question.
Team Needs:
2 CB’s, S, OLB, #2 WR
23. Kansas City Chiefs: Eric Ebron TE, North Carolina
The new era
of athletic, pass catching Tight Ends continues with the 6’4, 245lb Eric
Ebron. He plays and lines up like an
oversized WR and that’s a good thing for today’s NFL as he’s a matchup
nightmare who can’t be covered by slower LB’s or smaller CB’s.
Team Needs:
WR, TE, DE, ILB
24. Cincinnati Bengals: Bradley Roby CB, Ohio State
After the 2012 season I thought for sure Roby would be a top
10 pick and the first CB off the board.
Some off the field trouble and an up and down 2013 will push him down a
bit but he clearly has first round potential and has shown the ability to be a
lock down #1 corner. Good size at 5’11,
185lbs. Combine: Stock Up
Team Needs:
youth at CB, S, OLB, youth OL
Biggest need
is adding youth/depth to the secondary but CB/S value may be better in rounds 2
and 3.
25. San Diego Chargers: Morgan Moses OT, Virginia
A giant 6’6, 320lb Left Tackle prospect who’s moving into the
1st round discussion.
Virginia continues to pump out great OT prospects.
Team Needs:
Pass-rush, OLB, 2 CB’s, O-Line
26. Cleveland Browns (via Indianapolis): Marqise Lee WR, USC
The 6’0, 190
lb. wide receiver has game breaking speed to go along with polished route
running. Injuries have derailed the last
two years to go along with poor QB play and quite a few drops. When healthy, he’s a true game breaker.
Team Needs:
Franchise QB, RB, WR, OG, nickel CB
27. New Orleans Saints: Kyle Van Noy DE/OLB, BYU
At 6’3,
235lbs Kyle Van Noy will excel as a 3-4 OLB pass rusher or 4-3 DE. Quick first step off the snap with great pass
rush moves, he terrorizes the quarterback and actually has solid pass coverage
skills.
Team Needs:
O-Line, OLB, CB, WR
28. Carolina Panthers: Kelvin Benjamin WR, Florida State
The redshirt
sophomore is an absolute Beast at 6’6, 235lbs.
He is truly fun to watch and has become must see TV anytime he has the
ball in his hands. He doesn’t run, he
glides and with his long strides it looks like every step is 5 yards. He’s faced top NFL corner prospects and they
simply can’t cover him, it’s really not fair.
Can you tell I’m a fan? *Stock Up
Team Needs:
Future #1 WR, CB, OT/OG, S
This looks
like it will be a Left Tackle now with Jordan Gross announcing his
retirement. Expect 2 OT’s a WR and 2
CB’s for the Panthers
29. New England Patriots: Jace Amaro TE, Texas Tech
The 6’5,
260lb TE is an elite pass catching TE. A
huge target and matchup nightmare, he has great hands/size/speed proven by the
fact that he just broke the single season record for most receiving yards by a
Tight End in NCAA history. He’s a great
athlete and moves well for a man his size. *Combine: Ran slower than expected
Team Needs:
TE, O-Line, D-Line, CB
30. San Francisco 49ers: Brandin Cooks WR, Oregon State
Smaller WR
but battles and very impressive in the red zone. Similar to a combination of Panthers Steve
Smith and Giants Victor Cruz. *Combine: Stock up with the blazing/top WR 40
yard dash (4.33) and impressive hands in WR drills.
Team Needs:
WR, CB, and youth on D-Line
31. Denver Broncos: Stephon Tuitt DE/DT,
Notre Dame
The 6’6, 320lb Tuitt can play anywhere on the D-Line in any scheme. Playing a lot like former Georgia Bulldog Richard Seymour, He can play 5 technique in the 3-4 or DE and DT in the 4-3. If his weight is down and he’s 100% healthy he should be a top 15 pick. He’s the total package with size/power and a quick burst of the line.
The 6’6, 320lb Tuitt can play anywhere on the D-Line in any scheme. Playing a lot like former Georgia Bulldog Richard Seymour, He can play 5 technique in the 3-4 or DE and DT in the 4-3. If his weight is down and he’s 100% healthy he should be a top 15 pick. He’s the total package with size/power and a quick burst of the line.
Team Needs:
Interior O-Line, D-Line, CB
32. Seattle Seahawks: Timmy Jernigan DT, Florida State
A bit
undersized at 6’2, 298lbs for a 3 technique.
But, that doesn’t stop him from being a dominant force inside using
great leverage and quickness to beat bigger centers and guards.
Team Needs:
OT/OG, youth D-Line, WR, TE
ROUND TWO
33. Houston Texans: Cyrus Kouandjio OT, Alabama
The 6’5,
310lb Bama Left Tackle has tremendous strength and athleticism and continues to
get better with every snap. He has as
much upside as any O-Lineman in the draft with a strong punch and improving
footwork. Struggled in his bowl game, getting caught lunging and off
balance. He could start off at Right
Tackle in the NFL but his future is at Left Tackle. *Combine: Huge Medical Red Flag, reports of
an arthritic knee that is hereditary.
Stock on the decline.
34. Washington Redskins: Calvin Pryor FS, Louisville
He’s going
in the 1st Round, just need to find the right spot for him. First Round talent and the clear #2 Safety, A
big hitting 6’2, 205lb with a complete skill set. Pryor can cover anyone at every level of the
secondary.
Team Needs: O-Line/D-Line, CB/S, ILB
35. Cleveland Browns: Carlos Hyde RB, Ohio State
Hyde is my
#1 RB this year, a big back at 6’0, 240lbs who can do it all. Power, good speed for his size, pass
protection and can catch out of the backfield.
36. Oakland Raiders: Jimmy Garoppolo QB, Eastern Illinois
36. Oakland Raiders: Jimmy Garoppolo QB, Eastern Illinois
*Stock Up,
high 2nd round buzz. Rising
QB prospect, Same school and similar size to Tony Romo. 6’2, 220lbs. Quick
release, average arm.
37. Atlanta Falcons: Xavier Su’a-Filo OG, UCLA
Top 3 Guard
prospect. 6’3, 305lbs. Could go in the 1st
Round as the first true Guard selected. Great Combine.
38. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Austin Seferian-Jenkins TE, Washington
One of the three Elite TE’s in the class. 6’6, 255lbs, a
gifted athlete and pass catcher who can block.
*Combine: Medical Red Flag, did not participate.
39. Jacksonville Jaguars: Dee Ford DE/OLB, Auburn
1st, 2rd Round. Elite pass rusher, Put on a show at the
Senior Bowl. He could good go top 25
now. *Combine: Medical Red Flag, did not participate.
40. Minnesota Vikings: Scott Crichton DE/OLB, Oregon State
1st
round talent at 6’3” 265lbs. Crichton’s best fit is as a 4-3 DE but he is
scheme diverse and could play OLB or 5 technique in a 3-4. Great power moves when attacking the QB,
needs to expand his finesse moves at the next level.
41. Buffalo Bills: David Yankey OG/RT, Stanford
Battling to be the 1st guard off the board. 1st round talent at 6’5, 300lbs,
athletic for his size and versatile who can play guard and tackle. Poor Combine
42. Tennessee Titans: Tre Mason RB,
Auburn
Complete 3
down RB, starter from day one. 5’10, 200lbs with speed. The Godfather Gil Brandt has him as the best
RB in the class.
43. New York Giants: Jason Verrett CB, TCU
1st Round Talent.
An undersized CB (5’10, 175lbs) with maybe the best skill set at his
position, I have to think his size pushes him down the draft. *Combine: Stock
Up, 4.38 (40 yard dash) as smooth and gifted as any CB in the draft. Looks like he will be in the first round
44. St. Louis Rams: Jordan Matthews WR, Vanderbilt
Ideal size
at 6’3, 200lbs with great hands but average speed. He’s polished and ready to contribute right
out of the gate. His game speed is
there. Stock Up with 4.46 40 yard dash,
better than expected
45. Detroit Lions: DaVante Adams WR,
Fresno State
1st round talent, Michael Crabtree clone.
46. Pittsburgh Steelers: Kyle Fuller CB, Virginia Tech
6’0,
195lbs. Up and down season, flashes
shutdown CB traits at times, inconsistent. Combine: Stock Up, 4.49 (40)
47. Dallas Cowboys: Cyril Richardson OG, Baylor
A powerful 6’5, 330lbs who can also move, will be in high
demand as the possible #1 true Guard in the class. Had a rough Senior Bowl and his stock is
down, still worth a second round pick.
48. Baltimore Ravens: Ka’Deem Carey RB, Arizona
48. Baltimore Ravens: Ka’Deem Carey RB, Arizona
Could be the
#1 RB in this year’s draft class. 5’10,
200lbs, great vision and explosive. Can
catch the ball and pass protect. *Combine: slow 40, stock down.
49. New York Jets: Allen Robinson WR, Penn State
The 6’3,
210lb WR is a big, physical receiver who’s impressive going over the middle
with ability to gain yards after the catch.
Top flight speed is not his game, compares favorably to Anquan Boldin
when he was at Florida State.
50. Miami Dolphins: Dominique Easley DE/DT, Florida
Top 10 pick
if he’s healthy. Elite first step off
the line, can win with speed and power.
Missed season due to injury.
51. Chicago Bears: Trent Murphy DE/OLB, Stanford
Plays like
Ryan Kerrigan, gifted pass rusher at 6’5, 260lbs. Powerful/violent hands help beat more
athletic blockers. Limited athleticism
showcased at the Senior Bowl, stock down a bit.
52. Arizona Cardinals: Antonio “Tiny” Richardson OT, Tennessee
“Tiny”
Richardson goes 6’6, 330lbs and has held down the Left Tackle spot for two
years. With his size/athletic ability he
has tremendous upside but needs some improvement in hand placement and footwork
to become the true Franchise Left Tackle. *Combine: Rumors swirling about his
medicals (Knee), going so far that he made need to “Redshirt his rookie season”
53. Green Bay Packers: Jimmy Ward SS, Northern Illinois
5’11, 190lbs, rising prospect. Now looking like he could go late 1st
round.
54. Philadelphia Eagles: Jeremiah Attaochu DE/OLB, Georgia Tech
Can rush the
passer, didn’t show well at the Senior Bowl as he was moved around too much and
not allowed to play DE and rush the QB.
55. Cincinnati Bengals: Ryan Shazier OLB Ohio State
6’2, 225lb
pure speed LB in the mold of Bucs Lavonte David. Best fit would be as a 4-3 Will backer but
creative D-Coordinator will find a spot for him in any scheme.
56. San Francisco 49ers (via Kansas City): Marcus Smith DE/OLB, Louisville
2nd Round
57. San Diego Chargers: Marcus Roberson, CB, Florida
Solid man
cover corner, disciplined with good technique.
Needs more fire as he avoids contact.
Great size at 6’0, 185lbs, he could go late first round. Stock down with
4.61 40 yard dash.
58. New Orleans Saints: Deone Bucannon S, Washington State
Big hitting safety
59. Indianapolis Colts: Jarvis Landry WR, LSU
Potential to
be a #1 WR, good size/speed. Better game
speed than 40 yard dash time.
Team Needs:
O-Line/D-Line, CB/S, WR
60. Carolina Panthers: Louchiez Purifoy CB, Florida
Big CB (6’1,
190lbs) who loves to gamble, fiery competitor.
Gets caught out of position or burned while going all out for
picks. Elite athletic ability to go
along with NFL size and looks for contact. *Combine: Surprisingly slow 40 at
4.61, I thought he would be faster.
61. San Francisco 49ers: Stanley Jean-Baptiste CB, Nebraska
Huge at 6’2,
215lbs. A big former WR, still learning
the CB position. Big time upside with
coaching to improve technique. The new
Legion of Boom type CB. *Stock up with a great Combine
62. New England Patriots: Kelcy Quarles DT, South Carolina
Moving into the second round
63. Denver Broncos: Terrance Mitchell CB, Oregon
Overshadowed
at Oregon as the #2 CB but solid all around.
64. Seattle Seahawks: Jack Mewhort T/G, Ohio State
64. Seattle Seahawks: Jack Mewhort T/G, Ohio State
Looks like
he will move inside to Guard or RT.
ROUND THREE
65. Houston Texans: Lamarcus Joyner CB/S, Florida State
Joyner (5’7”) is this year’s Honey Badger, a playmaker who
lines up a Safety and nickel corner.
66. Washington Redskins: Bashaud Breeland CB, Clemson
*Reports say
he could go as high as Round 2. Another
big CB.
67. Oakland Raiders: Bishop Sankey RB, Washington
5’10,
200lbs. Three down back, this year’s Gio Bernard.
68. Atlanta Falcons: Kareem Martin DE, North Carolina
6’5, 370lbs, long and fast.
A true 4-3 Right DE and rising to the top of Round 2. Not many pure 4-3 DE’s this year, this will
greatly improve is draft stock. Time to move him up. North Carolina keeps pumping out great DE
prospects
69. New York Jets (via Tampa Bay): Troy Niklis TE, Norte Dame
2nd Round, Huge 6’7, 265lb TE. Now the #4 TE in the class.
70. Jacksonville Jaguars: Jeremy Hill RB, LSU
Top 5 RB
prospect, could go as high as Round 2.
At 6’2, 225lbs, Hill combines power and speed with great vision. Some have him as the #1 RB prospect. This is too low for a talent like Hill, most
likely mid-high round 2.
71. Cleveland Browns: Chris Borland ILB, Wisconsin
Round 3, 4 Comps to
Zack Thomas
72. Minnesota Vikings: Shayne Skov ILB, Stanford
Top 5 ILB prospect.
73. Buffalo Bills: Paul Richardson WR, Colorado
73. Buffalo Bills: Paul Richardson WR, Colorado
Could go as
high as the top of 2nd round.
74. New York Giants: Christian Jones OLB/ILB/DE, Florida State
Great size/speed combo at 6’4, 230lbs, can play any LB spot
and slide down to DE. Can play in any
scheme but best fit would be at OLB in the 3-4 Defense.
2nd, 3rd Round. He’s going higher just need to
find a spot for him. I would take him
late in the 1st Round, he’s going to be great.
75. St. Louis Rams: A.J. McCarron QB, Alabama
Good size
(6’3, 220lbs) and purely a pocket QB.
His tools are not remarkable, needs talent around him for success.

Day one starter at DT.
83. Cleveland Browns (via Pittsburgh): Craig Loston SS, LSU
Round 2/3
84. Arizona Cardinals: Zach Mettenberger QB, LSU
Much improved in all areas, great size (6’5, 235lbs), classic
drop back/pocket QB. Knee injury might
knock him down the draft but incredible upside.

86. Philadelphia Eagles: Ed Reynolds FS, Stanford
2nd/3rd
Round
87. Kansas City Chiefs: Anthony Johnson DE/DT, LSU

Declared early, 2/3 round.

for his size. 6’4, 335lbs.
96. Minnesota Vikings (via Seattle): Dion Baily FS, USC
Second Round
ROUND FOUR
97. Houston Texans: Jackson Jeffcoat DE/LB, Texas

98. Washington Redskins: DaQuan Jones DT, Penn State
99. Atlanta Falcons: Arthur Lynch TE, Georgia
Rising TE
prospect played well at the Senior Bowl, complete TE.
100. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Aaron Lynch, DE South Florida
Former Notre
Dame Stud, transferred and his production never got back to his ND days. He could be Greg Hardy.
101. Jacksonville Jaguars: Joel Bitonio OG/OT, Nevada
102. Cleveland Browns: Seantrel Henderson OT, Miami
Physically gifted RT, former #1 prospect out of high
school. Does he love football? Massive
at 6’6, 330lbs and very well put together, he has the biggest wingspan of
anyone at the Senior Bowl and that really helps him at Offensive Tackle.

5’10, 195lbs.

prospect, could go round 2, 3.
111. New York Jets: Trevor Reilly DE/OLB, Utah
2nd
Round
112. Miami Dolphins: Brandon Thomas OT/OG Clemson
Solid but
may have to move inside to guard, 2nd round talk.
113. Chicago Bears: Will Sutton DT, Arizona State
Undersized
DT but great tape, how far will he drop due to size? 6’0, 315lbs, he’s short with short arms and
the added 15 pounds is not good weight.
114. Pittsburgh Steelers: Jared Abbrederis WR, Wisconsin
Great
showing at the Senior Bowl, catches everything
115. Dallas Cowboys: Logan Thomas QB Virginia Tech
Big project QB. Huge
at 6-5, 250lbs. Very inconstant, has all
the tools but needs to be broken down and rebuilt in terms of mechanics. Teams
may want him as a TE.
116. Arizona Cardinals: Telvin Smith, LB/S Florida State
Another
great FSU prospect. 3rd, 4th
Round. Jacked but very lean, may have to move to Safety
117. Green Bay Packers: Andre Hal CB, Vanderbilt

Round 2, 3.
Undersized but fast and athletic
127. Denver Broncos: Terrence Brooks S, Florida State
128. Seattle Seahawks: De’Anthony Thomas RB/WR, Oregon
DAT didn’t
run the expected blazing 40, his best position may be slot WR.
ROUND FIVE

130. Washington Redskins: Ronald Powell DE/OLB, Florida
Stock up
131. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Trai Turner OG, LSU

Bowl, pass rusher inside in the 4-3 Defense.

144. Chicago Bears: David Fales QB, San Jose State
Arm strength
is not great and only 6’1, 220lbs.
