ANDREW LUCK |
QB |
STANFORD |
PICK HAS BEEN MADE FOR WEEKS. COLTS LUCK OUT AS THEY WILL HAVE ANOTHER FRANCHISE QUARTERBACK TO LEAD THE REBUILDING FRANCHISE. LIKELY MEANS A LOT OF OTHER PLAYERS (GARCON, WAYNE, SATURDAY, ET AL.) WILL LIKELY FIND BETTER SITUATION$ ELSEWHERE AND WILL FORCE A TOTAL REBUILD JOB ON THE NEW FRONT OFFICE. THE COLTS ARE FAR FROM CONTENDING, BUT THE FOUNDATION IS POURED IN THIS PICK.

ROBERT GRIFFIN III |
QB |
BAYLOR |
STL REC: 6, 38, 2013 #1, 2014 #1 – UNBELIEVABLE RANSOM PAID TO GET THIS PICK…NO MYSTERY TO THE PICK. RG3 IS A MOBILE PLAYMAKER WHO MAY OR MAY NOT BE READY RIGHT AWAY. SHANNAHAN IS KNOWN FOR QUARTERBACK DEVELOPMENT, BUT HE ALSO WAS AT HIS BEST WHEN HE HAD A DOMINANT RUNNING GAME IN ADDITION TO CAPABLE QB PLAY
|

MIN |
RYAN KALIL |
T |
USC |
KALIL IS A TEN YEAR STARTER AT LEFT TACKLE THAT WILL ALLOW PONDER TO THROW FROM THE POCKET MORE AND STAY HEALTHY. HE WILL OPEN RUNNING LANES AND ALLOW CHARLIE JOHNSON TO SLIDE INSIDE TO GUARD OR BE AN ATHLETIC RIGHT TACKLE WHICH UPGRADES THE OFFENSIVE LINE IN TWO POSITIONS. TALENTED YOUNG TEAM THAT COULD SURPRISE WITH A HEALTHY PETERSON
|

CLE |
TRENT RICHARDSON |
RB |
ALABAMA |
CLEVELAND REGRESSED AS A TEAM WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE RUN GAME. THE ABILITY TO ADD RICHARDSON TO THE OFFENSE WILL PROVIDE STABILITY AND MORE PLAY-MAKING POTENTIAL FROM THE POSITION. RICHARDSON CAN WORK AS THE FEATURE BACK AND ALLOW THE TEAM TO MOVE ON WITHOUT PEYTON HILLIS. IF WR IS A NEED…GET IT AT 22 OR IN THE SECOND ROUND.
**KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR…THE TRENT RICHARDSON MARKET IS HEATING UP. CINCINNATI, NEW ENGLAND AND TAMPA ARE ALL ABLE TO MAKE A MOVE UP TO LAND THE BEST FEATURE BACK TO COME OUT SINCE ADRIAN PETERSON. NEW ENGLAND HAS A HISTORY OF DRAFT DAY BOLD MOVES AND IF THEY ARE AWARE OF THE BRADY WINDOW NARROWING, THE PATRIOTS COULD BE BEST SERVED BY SENDING 27, 31 & 48 FOR RICHARDSON AND CLEVELAND WOULD HAVE 4 PICKS IN THE TOP 50 WHICH WOULD HELP AT WR, LB, DL AND QB.

TMP |
MORRIS CLAIBOURNE |
CB |
LSU |
THE BUC’S ARE THIN IN THE SECONDARY AND WITH RONDE BARBER NEARING RETIREMENT AND AQIB TALIB NEARING JAIL, THE BUCS NEED A CAPABLE LEAD CORNER WHO CAN BRING SOME CONFIDANCE AND ABILITY INTO THE POSITION. GREG SCHIANO IS TAKING ON A NEW CHALLENGE AND THE DEFENSE’S ABILITY TO GET PRESSURE WILL BE AIDED BY THE ABILITY TO COVER A SECOND OR TWO LONGER.
|
6 |
STL* |
JUSTIN BLACKMON |
WR |
OK STATE |
ST LOUIS NEEDS A PLAYMAKING WIDE RECEIVER AND WITH THE LOSS OF DONNIE AVERY AND BRANDON LLOYD, THE POSITION GROUP IS ONLY THINNER. FINDING AN IMPACT PLAYER AT WIDE RECEIVER IS A CHALLENGE AND BLACKMON DOES NOT COME WITHOUT QUESTIONS (LONG-SPEED, ROUTE RUNNING) HOWEVER HIS TALENT AND POTENTIAL ARE UNDENIABLE.
|
7 |
JAX |
MICHAEL FLOYD |
WR |
NOTRE DAME |
FLOYD CARRIES A LOT OF BAGGAGE INTO THE NFL. THREE ALCOHOL RELATED INCIDENTS ARE RED FLAGS IN HIS BACKGROUND. HE LIVED IN THE FRESHMAN DORMS HIS SENIOR YEAR AS A PART OF HIS REINSTATEMENT AND IT PAID DIVIDENDS TO HIS DRAFT STOCK. RUNS WELL IN GAMES, RAN BETTER THAN EXPECTED IN TESTING, SHOWED GREAT HANDS AND IS THE BEST RED ZONE TARGET IN THE DRAFT. NOTRE DAME’S ALL-TIME LEADER IN EVERY MAJOR STATISTIC. BLOCKS EXTREMELY WELL AND IS COMPETITIVE IN ALL AREAS OF HIS GAME. VERY HIGH TALENT. SOLID FIT IN ANY OFFENSE AND WILL PROVIDE LONG-TERM TARGET FOR GABBERT OR WHOEVER FITS AT QUARTERBACK. LUKE KUECHLY ALSO MAKES SENSE HERE
BEARS THOUGHT: I HAVE FLOYD GOING HIGHER THAN ANYONE I’VE SEEN, BUT IF JAX KEEPS THE PICK, HE HELPS THEM MORE ON DAY ONE THAN ANYONE ELSE ON THE BOARD. HOWEVER HIS OFF THE FIELD STUFF COULD DROP HIM TO 19…IF THAT’S THE CASE, CHICAGO HAS TO PICK HIM AND WILL HAVE BRANDON MARSHALL, EARL BENNETT AND MICHAEL FLOYD AT WIDE RECEIVER. TALENTED RECEIVERS, BUT NONE HAVE ELITE SPEED AND THAT COULD LIMIT EFFECTIVENESS OF PASSING GAMES AND FORCE TURNOVERS…BUYER BEWARE
**KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR… THE JAGUARS WOULD LOVE TO TRADE DOWN AND STOCKPILE PICKS TO FILL THE MANY GLARING HOLES ON THE DEFENSE. HOWEVER WITHOUT ANY SINGLE PLAYER COMMANDING THE VALUE THAT THIS PICK WILL CARRY, THEY WOULD BE WISE TO TRADE THE PICK. WITH TEAMS LIKE NEW ENGLAND HAVING TWO LATE 1′s AND TWO SECOND ROUND PICKS A TRADE COULD BE THE BEST CASE SCENARIO. PHILADELPHIA COULD BE WILLING TO MOVE UP FROM 15 FOR KUECHLY OR POE.
|
8 |
MIA |
RYAN TANNEHILL |
QB |
TEXAS A&M |
I JUST HAVEN’T SEEN ENOUGH OF TANNEHILL TO UNDERSTAND ALL THE BUZZ SURROUNDING HIM. HE HAS A SHORT AND QUICK RELEASE. GOOD SIZE AND ATHLETICISM, BUT LIMITED EXPERIENCE IN A MULTI-READ/PRO-STYLE OFFENSE, HOWEVER HE IS A BIOLOGY/PRE-MED MAJOR WHO IS MENTALLY CAPABLE. RARELY PUSHED THE BALL DOWNFIELD AND WAS OCCASSIONALLY INACCURATE IN THE INTERMEDIATE PASSING GAME. I’M NOT A HUGE FAN, BUT MIKE SHERMAN IS THE OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR IN MIAMI AND WAS HIS HEAD COACH AND RECRUITER WHILE AT TEXAS A&M, TREMENDOUS ADVANTAGE IN THE LEARNING CURVE AS VOCABULARY AND SYSTEM ARE SECOND NATURE TO TANNEHILL AT THIS POINT. COULD BE FORCED INTO ACTION EARLY. BOOM OR BUST.
**MIAMI COULD COME UP FOR AIR BETWEEN NOW AND WHEN THEY ARE ON THE CLOCK…GET A LITTLE OXYGEN TO THE BRAIN AND REALIZE THEY ARE GOING TO INVEST A TOP 10 PICK ON A QUARTERBACK WITH POOR PERFORMANCE AGAINST TOP PROGRAMS, LIMITED EXPERIENCE AT THE POSITION, LOSING RECORD AS A STARTER AND LITTLE HOPE ON BEING ABLE TO PLAY EFFECTIVELY AS A ROOKIE…THE JUICE ISN’T WORTH THE SQUEEZE. IF IT’S ME, I’M HOPING MICHAEL FLOYD IS AVAILABLE, AND PUT HIM IN THE BRANDON MARSHALL ROLE WHERE HE CAN LEARN TO WORK WITH WHOEVER THEY HAVE AT QUARTERBACK.
|

CAR |
DONTARI POE |
DT |
MEMPHIS |
THE FIRST SURPRISE OF THE DRAFT ACTUALLY MAKES A LOT OF SENSE. IT GIVES THEM A TRUE NOSE TACKLE IN ODD FRONTS, A TWO GAP IN THE EVEN FRONT, RUN PLUGGER WHO RUNS WELL DOWN THE LINE IN PURSUIT. COULD COLLAPSE POCKET AND INCREASE EFFECTIVENESS OF EDGE RUSHERS AND ALLOW ATHLETICALLY LIMITED LB’S BETTER OPPORTUNITIES IN THE RUN. POE WAS A WORKOUT WARRIOR AND THAT TELLS ME ‘IT’ MATTERS TO HIM AND THAT’S AS VALUABLE AS ANYTHING IN THE SCOUTING PROCESS.
BEARS THOUGHT: AGAIN I HAVE A PLAYER GOING HIGHER THAN MOST PEOPLE DO. POE IS A LEGIT SPACE EATER WHO CAN OFFER A LITTLE MORE THAN MOST IN PURSUIT AND SCHEME VERSATILITY. CHICAGO HAS BEEN VERY AGGRESSIVE IN THE OFFSEASON IN ADDING MARSHALL, WEEMS, CAMPBELL, BUSH, COSTANZO, HAYES, HAYDEN, WILHITE, RACHAL, THOMAS AND RESIGNED JENNINGS, McCOWN, DAVIS, IDONIJE & STELTZ…THEY HAVE PARTED WAYS WITH THE EFFECTIVE ANTHONY ADAMS AND DIDN’T SEE AMOBI OKOYE AS THE FUTURE. STEPHEN PAEA HAS A SERIOUS KNEE ISSUE THAT TOOK HIM OFF SOME TEAMS DRAFT BOARDS LAST SEASON. THE BEARS COULD MAKE A WISE INVESTMENT IN A PLAYER LIKE POE AND ALLOW PAEA TO BE THE PASS RUSH NOSE & SHORT YARDAGE THREE TECHNIQUE. IF POE FALLS TO THE TEENS, I WOULD MAKE A PITCH AT MOVING UP TO PAIR A RAW ATHLETE WITH INCREDIBLE SIZE AND ROD MARINELLI
|

BUFF |
RILEY REIFF |
T |
IOWA |
REIFF HAS GREAT FOOTWORK AND COMES TO A TEAM IN NEED OF A LEFT TACKLE. BUFFALO STARTED HOT AND FINISHED ICE COLD. GETTING SOMEONE TO PROTECT FITZPATRICK AND ALLOW HIM TO SUCCEED IS PARAMOUNT IF THE BILLS ARE GOING TO TURN THE CORNER. DEFENSE COMES LATER AS DEMETRESS BELL IS NO LONGER IN THE FOLD AND LITTLE ELSE IS ON THE ROSTER THIS PICK HAS VALUE AND FITS A NECESSITY.
KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR…THERE IS A HISTORY OF OHIO STATE BUCKEYES MAKING THEIR WAY UP TO ORCHARD PARK. MIKE ADAMS COULD SNEAK HIS WAY AHEAD OF REIFF ON THE BILLS BOARD; THERE IS CLEARLY NO BIGGER NEED AND NO HEALTHY FREE AGENTS ON THE MARKET (MARCUS MCNEIL+). IF BUFFALO IGNORES THE OFFENSIVE LINE AT THIS POINT IN THE DRAFT, THEY WILL BE SEVERELY DISAPPOINTED ON WHAT PROSPECTS THEY ARE LEFT WITH AND FORCED INTO PLAYING EARLY.
|
11 |
KC |
DAVID DECASTRO |
G |
STANFORD |
DECASTRO IS A PERFECT FIT FOR AN OFFENSE THAT NEEDS A ROAD GRADER WHO CAN PULL AND TRAP TO OPEN THE RUNNING GAME UP. DECASTRO IS A TEN YEAR STARTER AT GUARD WHO WILL START OPENING DAY. CARRIES A TOP TEN GRADE IN MY EVALUATION AND IF HE WAS AN INCH TALLER, WOULD ALMOST CERTAINLY BE A TOP TEN TACKLE PROSPECT. TENDS TO PLAY TALL, BUT MEAN
|
12 |
SEA |
LUKE KUECHLY |
LB |
BOSTON COLLEGE |
KUECHLY HAS AMAZING EYES FOR THE BALL. 500+ TACKLES IN HIS CAREER WITH GREAT SIZE AND SPEED. FLAT OUT PRODUCES ON THE FIELD AND PLAYS UNDER CONTROL AND COMMUNICATES WELL WITH TEAMMATES AND COACHES WHICH IS AN UNDERESTIMATED VALUE FOR YOUR LINEBACKERS. PETE CARROLL HAS HAD A REVOLVING DOOR AT LB THE PAST FEW SEASONS. 10 YEAR STARTER ON THE WEAKSIDE AND NICKEL
**KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR…SEATTLE HAS MADE A CULTURE CHANGE WITH PETE CARROLL, THEY ARE A TOUGH, FAST AND BORDERLINE DIRTY TEAM. NICK PERRY WAS RECRUITED TO USC BY PETE CARROLL AND CARROLL DOESN’T OFTEN MAKE THE TRIP TO DETROIT TO RECRUIT PLAYERS. THERE IS A LEGIT CONNECTION THERE AND CARROLL KNOWS THE TALENT HE SAW IN PERRY & HE COULD FIND HIS WAY INTO DRAFTING HIS FORMER PUPIL.
|
13 |
ARZ |
JONATHON MARTIN |
T |
STANFORD |
MARTIN BRINGS IN A RESPECTED RESUME AS A WORKER, WINNER AND LEADER. STANFORD PROGRAM HAS PROVIDED GREAT COACHING AND DEVELOPMENT OF PLAYERS. GREAT FOOTWORK, BUT LACKS ELITE POWER IN THE RUN GAME. SHOULD BE READY TO PLAY EARLY AND ON THE LEFT SIDE, HOWEVER HE WILL NEED SOME SEASONING BEFORE BEING A FINISHED PRODUCT. MARTIN MAY MAKE HIS FIRST IMPACT AT LEFT GUARD.
**ARIZONA HAS A TERRIBLE OFFENSIVE LINE, HOWEVER THEY DID ADD ADAM SNYDER AND RESTRUCTURED THE CONTRACT OF LEVI BROWN AND COULD ADDRESS THE INTERIOR LINE IN LATER ROUNDS… HOWEVER THIS IS WHERE THE MARK BARRON BIDDING BEGINS AND ENDS…THE CARDINALS COULD BE IN THE MARKET TO TRADE DOWN IF THE ASKING PRICE WAS RIGHT. CINCINNATI COULD PACK THE #17 AND A THIRD ROUND PICK (#83) TO ARIZONA WHERE THEY COULD STILL GO OFFENSIVE LINE.
BEARS THOUGHT: MARTIN IS A SINKING SHIP ON THE INTERNET THE PAST FEW DAYS. I DON’T KNOW IF THERE IS MUCH RISK IN MARTIN, BUT THERE IS ALSO LIMITED REWARD. HE IS AN AGGRESSIVE RUN BLOCKING LEFT TACKLE WHO MAY NOT HAVE ENOUGH ASS TO ANCHOR IN THE NFL AGAINST ELITE BULL RUSHERS AND MAY NOT GET MOVEMENT AGAINST 3-4 FIVE TECHNIQUE. HOWEVER HE IS 6’5 310…IT’S NOT LIKE HE’S A SMALL GUY. HIS FOOTWORK IS ABOVE AVERAGE AND IS MADE BETTER BY HIS STRONG HANDS AND TENACITY. IN GREAT PHYSICAL CONDITION WHO WEARS DOWN DEFENSIVE LINEMAN AND PLAYS WITH AN AGGRESSIVE MINDSET. LEFT TACKLES ARE HARD TO FIND AND IF HE FALLS TO #19 I TAKE HIM AHEAD OF BOTH FLOYD AND POE. HE JUST FITS THE SYSTEM BETTER.
|
14 |
DAL |
MARK BARRON |
S |
ALABAMA |
BARRON IS AN IMPACT CENTERFIELD SAFETY WHO CAN READ AND REACT SO SUDDENLY HE OFTEN MAKES PLAYS INSIDE THE FIRST THREE YARDS FROM SCRIMMAGE AND BEHIND THE LINE. HIS FOOTBALL IQ ISN’T AS IMPRESSIVE AS EARL THOMAS (SEATTLE) BUT HE IS A THUMPING TACKLER AND SOMEONE WHO KNOWS HOW TO WIN AND PLAY WITH A CONTROLLED AGGRESSION. SOMEONE TO CHANGE THE TEMPO OF THE DEFENSE AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF AN AGING DIVISION.
|
15 |
PHI |
FLETCHER COX |
DT |
MISSISSIPPI STATE |
COX HAS POTENTIAL AND IS LIKELY GONE WELL BEFORE NOW, HOWEVER I CAN’T SEE A TEAM WITH A GLARING NEED AT AN UNDERSIZED THREE TECHNIQUE WITH GOOD BUT NOT GREAT QUICKNESS AND NO SECONDARY PASS RUSH MOVE. HAS A MOTOR AND PLAYS TO HIGH LEVELS. HOWEVER I HAVEN’T SEEN NEARLY ENOUGH TO KNOW HE CAN WARRANT AN EARLIER SELECTION
|
16 |
NYJ |
MELVIN INGRAM |
DE/OLB |
SOUTH CAROLINA |
GREAT VALUE AT THIS POINT IN THE DRAFT. HE LACKS A PROVEN RESUME AS A RUSH LINEBACKER, HAS NEVER SHOWN AN ABILITY TO DROP INTO COVERAGE. WHICH WILL CAUSE HESITATION FROM TEAMS WITH A 3-4 HOWEVER HE IS A HIGHLY EFFECTIVE PLAYER WITH LONG ARMS AND A NON-STOP MOTOR THAT SHOULD FIT IN AN EDGE RUSH POSITION.
|
17 |
CIN |
STEPHON GILMORE |
CB |
SOUTH CAROLINA |
GILMORE IS A CONVERTED QB WHO HAS ROUTE RECOGNITION SKILLS AND MAY BE THE BEST ATHLETE IN THE DRAFT. HAS GOOD HEIGHT WHICH IS IMPORTANT IN A DIVISION WHICH FEATURES PHYSICAL RECEIVERS (NELSON, MARSHALL, RICE). THE UNIQUE ASPECT TO GILMORE’S GAME IS THAT HIS SIZE DOES NOT LIMIT HIS ATHLETICISM. HAS THE POTENTIAL TO JAM RECEIVERS AND TRAIL IN COVERAGE WITH GREAT MAKE-UP SPEED AND BALL SKILLS. WILL START IN CINCINNATI ON DAY ONE.
|
18 |
SD |
COURTNEY UPSHAW |
SLB /DE |
ALABAMA |
UPSHAW IS A TALENTED PASS RUSHER WHO ALSO PLAYS WELL IN SPACE AND LATERALLY. KNOWS THE POSITION AND THAT WILL HELP HIM TRANSITION FASTER. PLUS ATHLETE WHO IS STRONGER THAN HE IS FAST, BUT HAS A GREAT FOOTBALL IQ AND SHOULD CONTRIBUTE IMMEDIATELY AT A HIGH LEVEL. IS A 3-4 OLB MORE THAN A 4-3 DE
|
19 |
CHI |
NICK PERRY |
DE |
USC |
6’3 271# DEFENSIVE END WITH AN EXPLOSIVE FIRST STEP AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE SCHEDULE HE FACED THE TOP LEFT TACKLES IN PRACTICE AND IN GAMES FOR THE PAST THREE SEASONS AND PLAYED TO A HIGH LEVEL. WHILE THIS COULD BE SEEN AS A REACH HOWEVER PERRY IS A BETTER ATHLETE WITH COMPARABLE SIZE AND MORE CONSISTANT MOTOR ON THE FIELD THAN ANY OTHER DE IN THIS CLASS. MAY HAVE OFF THE FIELD CONCERNS, BUT I LOVE HIS POTENTIAL. FORMER DETROIT HIGH SCHOOL PRODUCT ISN’T AFRAID OF THE COLD, AN ADDED BENEFIT. KENDALL WRIGHT IS ON THE RADAR, BUT I THINK THE BEARS LOOK TO DEFENSE. IF MARTIN WAS AVAILABLE HE WOULD FIT. MICHAEL ADAMS A REACH.

TEN |
DRE KIRKPATRICK |
CB |
ALABAMA |
||
HAS GREAT SIZE AND SPEED. WAS AN ELITE PREP RECRUIT COMING INTO ALABAMA AND STEPPED ON THE FIELD IMMEDIATELY, ANCHORED A SECONDARY TO TWO NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS IN HIS THREE SEASONS. PLAYED UNDER A TOUGH COACHING STAFF KNOWN FOR DEVELOPING MATURE PROSPECTS. BEST CORNER AGAINST THE RUN IN A RUN HEAVY DIVISION.
BEARS THOUGHT: KIRKPATRICK MADE MORE SENSE BEFORE THE KELVIN HAYDEN SIGNING. CHARLES TILLMAN, TIM JENNINGS, KELVIN HAYDEN AND DJ MOORE IS A FINE FRONT FOUR OF CORNERBACKS. KIRKPATRICK DOESN’T HAVE A HISTORY AS A GUNNER OR JAMMER ON SPECIAL TEAMS, DOESN’T HAVE RETURN SKILLS. NOT AS MUCH VALUE HERE AS IT ONCE LOOKED.
|
21 |
CIN |
KENDALL WRIGHT |
WR |
BAYLOR |
WRIGHT IS A VERSITILE SLOT RECEIVER WHO CAN RUN UNDERNEATH ROUTES AND COMPLIMENT AJ GREEN AND JERMAINE GRESHAM. A NICE FIT IN AN OFFENSE WHO WILL BE IN SEARCH OF PASS CATCHERS AS THEY DON’T HAVE A SET LEAD RUNNING BACK. RETURN SKILLS A PLUS AND SHOULD PROVIDE IMMEDIATE CONTRIBUTIONS
|
22 |
CLE |
QUINTON COPLES |
DE |
NO. CAROLINA |
TOP TALENT ON THE BOARD.ONE SEASON AT DEFENSIVE TACKLE AND LAST SEASON LOOKING LAZY AND LACKING INTEREST AT TIMES. COPLES HAS THE BUZZ BEHIND HIM, BUT SOME TEAMS MAY ELECT TO PASS IN ORDER TO FILL MORE PRESSING NEEDS WITH FEWER HEADACHES. COULD SLIDE TO NEAR THE 20TH PICK IF TEAMS JUST DON’T WANT TO RISK THE EFFORT…CAROLINA HAS CHARLES JOHNSON ON ONE SIDE AND TWO YOUNG DT’S IN THE MIDDLE WITH FAST LINEBACKERS. HE SHOULD FIT THE STRONG SIDE END ROLE AND NOT RACK UP STATS, BUT PLAY EFFECTIVE IN A TEAM SYSTEM OR HE COULD BECOME TOTALLY DISINTERESTED AND FAIL TO COMPETE AND DISAPPOINT. BOOM OR BUST. STEPHEN HILL ON THE RADAR
**KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR…BRANDON WEEDEN. CLEVELAND IS HARD PRESSED TO FIND A NEW QUARTERBACK AND WEEDEN HAS THE STRONG ARM, INTELLIGENCE, PROFESSIONALISM AND ACCURACY TO MAKE AN EASIER TRANSITION.THE PROBLEM IS, HOW DO YOU PASS ON A TOP DEFENSIVE LINEMAN IN ORDER TO LAND A 29 YEAR OLD QUARTERBACK WHO HAS ARM PROBLEMS AND PLAYED OUT OF THE SHOTGUN MOST OF HIS LIFE?
BEARS THOUGHT: COPLES IS A BIG NAME, BIG REPUTATION GUY…HIS FILM IS AWFUL. HE DOESN’T RUSH THE PASSER, HE OUT ATHLETES OFFENSIVE LINEMAN. HIS STYLE LOOKS SOFT AND DISINTERESTED. HE HAS AN INCREDIBLE FRAME AND ATHLETICISM. IF HE CAN LEARN HOW TO APPLY THAT TO ACTUALLY PLAYING DEFENSIVE END, HE COULD BE SPECIAL. ROD MARINELLI IS THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS AT DEVELOPING DEFENSIVE LINEMAN. ADD TO THE MIX JULIUS PEPPERS A FELLOW TAR HEEL WHO COPLES SHOULD RESPECT, THE BEARS MAY PROVIDE THE BEST FIT FOR HIM AS A PLAYER. MICHAELHAYNES-PHOBIA.
|
23 |
DET |
MICHAEL ADAMS |
T |
OHIO STATE |
ADAMS IS LONG ON EXPERIENCE AND POSSESSES THE MEASURABLES THAT SCOUTS LOOK FOR. HEIGHT, FEET AND STRENGTH. MISSED TIME DUE TO NCAA VIOLATIONS AND COMES FROM A CONSERVATIVE OFFENSE WHICH UTILIZED A BOOTLEG/ROLLOUT PASSING ATTACK WHICH LIMITS HIS TIME ON AN ISLAND. COULD START AS A LEFT OR RIGHT TACKLE. HOWEVER HIS LIMITED TAPE COMBINED WITH CHARACTER CONCERNS COULD HAVE HIM SLIP INTO ROUND 2. KEEPING MATTHEW STAFFORD HEALTHY IS THE TOP LONG-TERM PRIORITY AND ADAMS DOES THAT BETTER THAN ANYONE ELSE
**KEEP AN EYE ON…JANORIS JENKINS COULD BE A NICE ADDITION TO THE LIONS SECONDARY WHICH IS ALSO IN NEED.HOWEVER THE CHARACTER COMPARISONS TO ADAM ‘PAC-MAN’ JONES ARE TOO SERIOUS. DETROIT HAS TAKEN BAD PRESS WITH A NUMBER OF PLAYERS THIS OFFSEASON AND WITH SUH VOTED THE DIRTIEST PLAYER IN THE GAME, THE LIONS COULD BE HESITANT IN GATHERING TOO MANY BAD EGGS IN A TALENTED GROUP. I ALSO LIKE DONT’A HIGHTOWER AT THIS POINT.
BEARS THOUGHT: ADAMS IS A LEFT TACKLE AND AS A RESULT REQUIRES THE BEARS THOUGHT AND CONSIDERATION. ADAMS PLAYS UPRIGHT, PROVIDES A HUGE TARGET TO BULL RUSHERS AND ISN’T NIMBLE ENOUGH TO PLAY AGAINST QUICK DEFENSIVE ENDS WHO CAN DIP AND RIP. THE BUST METER ON ADAMS IS HIGH AND WITH CARIMI BEING THE FUTURE AT RIGHT TACKLE, HIS SELECTION COULD ONLY MEAN THE BEARS ARE NOT SOLD ON THE LONG-TERM HEALTH OF CARIMI. TOO MUCH RISK FOR ME TO FEEL COMFORTABLE.
|
24 |
PIT |
DONTA’ HIGHTOWER |
LB |
ALABAMA |
HOWEVER HIGHTOWER IS A HIGH CHARACTER RUN STOPPING LINEBACKER WITH EXPERIENCE IN THE 3-4 AND PROVEN ABILITY TO RUSH THE PASSER. A TECHNICALLY SOUND PLAYER WHO PLAYS WITH A HIGH MOTOR AND WILL BE AN ANCHOR AT INSIDE LINEBACKER IN ANY DEFENSIVE FRONT. AS LOW RISK A PICK AS YOU CAN FIND. PITTSBURGH HAS MAINTAINED A STANDARD OF DEFENSIVE EXCELLENCE AND HIGHTOWER SEEMS TO BE A LOGICAL FIT IN THE CONTINUATION OF THAT SUCCESS.
|
25 |
DEN |
JERELL WORTHY |
DT |
MICHIGAN STATE |
WORTHY IS A PENETRATING BALL OF BUTTER KNIVES. HE PLAYS AMAZINGLY QUICK, SOMETIMES GUESSING THE SNAP COUNT AND THAT WON’T WORK IN THE NFL. STRONG AT THE POINT AND DANGEROUSLY EFFECTIVE IN PURSUIT. BETTER FOOTBALL PLAYER THAN ATHLETE. COULD BE A PREMIER NOSE TACKLE IN THE RIGHT SYSTEM.
BEARS THOUGHT: WORTHY IS A PERFECT FIT AT NOSE TACKLE. HE IS A LOW TO THE GROUND, QUICK AND STOUT DISRUPTIVE PENETRATOR WHO COMES FROM A COLD WEATHER TOWN AND A SCHEDULE THAT PUT HIM UP AGAINST SOME OF THE BIGGEST LINEMAN IN THE COUNTRY AND HE PERFORMED TO AN ALL-AMERICAN LEVEL. HELPED ERIC GORDON AND GREG JONES TO NFL CAREERS.
|
26 |
HOU |
CORDY GLENN |
G/T |
GEORGIA |
ERIC WINSTON WAS GIVEN THE DOOR AND THAT REMAINS THE ONLY NOTICEABLE HOLE IN THE TEXANS LINEUP. GLENN IS A BIG BODIED RIGHT TACKLE WHO HAS EXPERIENCE PLAYING ON THE LEFT SIDE FOR A PRO-STYLE OFFENSE IN THE SEC. PLAYED BETTER THAN HE LOOKS IN PERSON. GLENN IS ALSO VERSATILE ENOUGH TO LAND INSIDE AT GUARD IN HOUSTON OR FILL IN IMMEDIATELY FOR THE DEPARTED WINSTON
|
27 |
NE |
WHITNEY MERCILOUS |
DE/OLB |
ILLINOIS |
EDGE RUSHERS WHO CAN CREATE PRESSURE ON A CONSISTANT BASIS ARE TOUGH TO FIND. MERCILOUS HAS FIRST ROUND MEASURABLES, BUT LACKS THE EXPERIENCE AT LINEBACKER AND PROVEN SUCCESS AT DEFENSIVE END AGAINST THE RUN. A SITUATIONAL PASS RUSHER MAKES SENSE AND FITS THE TEAM’S PHILOSOPHY FOR BEST PLAYER AVAILABLE, BUT NEW ENGLAND IS ALWAYS A GUESSING GAME.
|
28 |
GB |
ANDRE BRANCH |
DE/OLB |
CLEMSON |
BRANCH GIVES THE PACKERS A LEGIT PASS RUSH OPPOSITE CLAY MATTHEWS. THE TRANSITION FROM DE TO OLB WILL BE A CHALLENGE, BUT HE GIVES IMMEDIATE PRODUCTION AND A LONG TERM CONTRIBUTOR TO A DEFENSIVE SYSTEM. BRANCH HAS GOOD PLAY AGAINST THE RUN FOR AN OLB AND SHOULD GIVE THE STARTING LINE-UP A VISIT BY THE END OF THE SEASON. COULD ALSO GO RUNNING BACK, BUT I DON’T SEE ONE THAT CAN BLOCK AND THAT IS ESSENTIAL IN GREEN BAY.
**KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR… GREEN BAY DOESN’T HAVE A LOT OF GLARING NEEDS AND IF A TEAM LIKE ST. LOUIS WOULD WANT TO STEAL MICHAEL BROCKERS, THEY HAVE THE AMMO AND A WILLING PARTNER.
|
29 |
BAL |
PETER KONZ |
C |
WISCONSIN |
KONZ IS THE LONGTERM ANSWER TO REPLACING MATT BIRK. KONZ HAS GREAT LEVERAGE AND PLAYS WITH A FORWARD LEAN THAT TRANSLATES INTO QUICK MOVEMENT UP AND DOWN THE LINE. A SOLID FIT FOR AN OFFENSE LOOKING TO SOLIDIFY THE RUN GAME IN A DIVISION THAT EXCLUSIVELY FEATURES THE 0 TECHNIQUE (NT). KONZ IS A HIGHLY RATED TALENT AND HE COULDN’T FIND A BETTER FIT ON A ROSTER.
|
30 |
SF |
MICHAEL BROCKERS |
DT |
LSU |
TOO BIG, TOO STRONG, TOO ATHLETIC, TOO YOUNG…BROCKERS HAS IT ALL AND IS AN IMMEDIATE IMPACT PLAYER FOR THE FRONT SEVEN AND SOMEONE THAT DEFENSIVE COORDINATORS AROUND THE LEAGUE WANT TO GET ON THE NEXT LEVEL. BROCKERS PLAYS WELL DOWN THE LINE IN PURSUIT AS WELL AS A DISRUPTIVE HAND FIGHTER INSIDE IN THE RUN GAME. NEEDS TO IMPROVE PAD LEVEL WHICH WILL COME WITH BETTER CONDITIONING, BUT AS A THREE OR FIVE TECHNIQUE HE COULD BE UNSTOPPABLE. THE RICH GET RICHER IN SAN FRANCISCO.
BEARS THOUGHT: PLEASE NO. HE IS A HUGE MAN. HUGE. BUT HE PLAYS UPRIGHT AND NFL LINEMAN ARE GOING TO HAVE HIM ON ROLLER SKATES. HIS TECHNIQUE ALL BUT ELIMINATES HIM FROM PLAYING THE NOSE TACKLE SPOT. FORCING HIM TO PLAY THE 3 TECHNIQUE, SOMETHING THAT HE WON’T HAVE THE QUICKNESS TO PULL OFF. I FRANKLY HAVE BROCKERS AS AN EXCLUSIVE 5 TECHNIQUE IN THE MOLD OF RICHARD SEYMOUR. HOWEVER IF HE DOESN’T LEARN TO PLAY LOW, HE’S GOING TO RESEMBLE PHILLIP MERLING MORE
|
31 |
NE |
JANORIS JENKINS |
CB |
NO. ALABAMA |
JENKINS IS A LEGIT TALENT, BUT HAS MULTIPLE ARRESTS FOR DRUG RELATED CHARGES. WAS AN ALL-SEC COVER CORNER AND RETURN MAN FOR URBAN MEYER’S GATORS BUT WILL MUSCHAMP’S DISMISSAL FROM THE PROGRAM SPEAKS VERY LOUDLY IN REGARDS TO HOW HE IS VIEWED…TERRIBLE IN INTERVIEWS AND REFERS TO HIS ARRESTS 12 MONTHS AGO AS ‘WHEN I WAS A KID’, CLEARLY A SIGN OF P.R. COACHING AND NOT PROCESSING WHAT HE DID AS BEING WRONG. ALSO CLAIMS TO HAVE LEARNED FROM HIS MISTAKES, YET WAS ARRESTED THREE TIMES… NO DENYING TALENT, TOO MANY QUESTIONS SURROUNDING CHARACTER. THE LEAGUE IS STARTING TO THROW MORE WHICH INCREASES HIS VALUE, BUT JENKINS IS AS LIKELY TO BE SUSPENDED AS HE IS TO LAND IN THE PRO BOWL. CAN THE LOCKER ROOM KEEP HIM IN CHECK ? FOR HOW LONG?
|
32 |
NYG |
BRANDON THOMPSON |
DT |
CLEMSON |
THOMPSON IS AN ACTIVE DEFENSIVE TACKLE WHO BRINGS SIZE AND QUICKNESS FROM THE UNDER TACKLE POSITION. THE CHALLENGE FOR THOMPSON IS TO PLAY WITH MORE STRENGTH AGAINST THE RUN, HOWEVER IN A PENETRATING SYSTEM, HE IS A PERFECT FIT AND A POTENTIAL IMPACT PERFORMER FROM THE NOSE POSITION.

STL |
ZACK BROWN |
LB |
NO. CAROLINA |
BROWN HAS AMAZING SPEED AND WILL EXCEL ON THE WEAKSIDE IN THE NFL. QUINN, LONG, LAURINITIS AND BROWN WILL MAKE A FINE FOUR IN THE FRONT SEVEN. THE SECONDARY NEEDS HELP TOO, BUT THAT CAN COME AT 39 AS THEY HAVE STOCKED AN EXTRA PICK IN EXCHANGE FOR THE #2 OVERALL IN THE WASHINGTON DEAL
|
34 |
IND |
RUBEN RANDLE |
WR |
LSU |
TALL RECEIVER WHO WAS AN ELITE PREP RECRUIT, WHO NEVER HAD A QUALITY QUARTERBACK TO GET HIM THE BALL. AS A SENIOR HE STEPPED UP AND BEGAN TO MAKE PLAYS IN TRAFFIC, GOING OVER THE TOP OF DEFENSIVE BACKS AND SHOWING RELIABLE HANDS. NEEDS POLISH ON ROUTES, BUT COULD SURPRISE AS HE HAS ALL THE TOOLS SCOUTS WILL LOOK FOR.
|
35 |
MIN |
JOSH ROBINSON |
CB |
CENTRAL FLORIDA |
INSTINCTIVE CORNER WHO STARTED AS A TRUE FRESHMAN AND QUICKLY SHOWED ENOUGH TO KEEP OFFENSES LOOKING THE OTHER WAY. A TALENTED COVER CORNER WHO WILL ALSO FILL IN THE RUN GAME. AN INTERESTING PROSPECT WHO HAS A GREAT WORK ETHIC BUT HAS DECISION MAKING PROBLEMS. ROBINSON HAS 4.3 SPEED AND AT 6’1 COULD BE AN ELITE TALENT IF COACHED UP.
|
36 |
TMP |
DOUG MARTIN |
RB |
BOISE STATE |
NATURAL PASS CATCHER AND HAS ENOUGH BURST TO RUN BETWEEN THE TACKLES AND BREAK A LONG GAINER. SOLID IN PASS PROTECTION AND THE ABILITY TO PLAY PHYSICALLY WITH AND WITHOUT THE BALL. THE BUCS HAVE BEEN DISAPPOINTED BY LEGERRETTE BLOUNT IN PASS PROTECTION AND BALL SECURITY…MARTIN IS THE SMART PICK TO IMPROVE THE OFFENSE’S ABILITY TO CONVERT FIRST DOWNS AND EXPAND THE SCREEN / CHECK DOWN PASSING GAME. MARTIN WILL ALSO PROVIDE A 1-2 PUNCH WITH BLOUNT WHICH GIVES THE OFFENSE A LEAD IDENTITY.
|
37 |
CLE |
BRANDON WEEDEN |
QB |
OKLAHOMA STATE |
THERE ARE NO GUARANTEES IN COLT McCOY… WEEDEN IS A PRO READY QUARTERBACK WHO IF HE WAS 23 YEARS OLD WOULD BE A TOP TEN PICK. HE HOWEVER IS 28 AND NOT GETTING YOUNGER. THE CHALLENGE FOR WEEDEN WILL BE ADJUSTING TO THE OFFENSIVE TERMINOLOGY AND TIMING FROM UNDER CENTER. A FORMER PRO BASEBALL PLAYER, WILL BE PREPARED AND READY IF GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY. HE STILL HAS 10 YEARS AHEAD OF HIM IN TERMS OF PRODUCTIVE FOOTBALL AND THAT SHOULDN’T BE IGNORED. WINNER.
|
38 |
JAX |
CHANDLER JONES |
DE |
SYRACUSE |
JONES IS BEING BILLED AS A PASS RUSHER, YET HE ONLY LOGGED 10 SACKS IN HIS CAREER AT SYRACUSE. HARD TO IMAGINE SOME ARE BILLING JONES AS A FIRST ROUND PICK, YET HIS BLOODLINE AND REPUTATION AS A TIRELESS WORKER WILLING TO INVEST THE TIME AND MOTIVATE HIS TEAMMATES. MUCH IS MADE OF HIS UFC CHAMPION BROTHER AND BACKUP DEFENSIVE LINEMAN BROTHER, HOWEVER TO ME, NONE OF THAT MATTERS. CAN HE GET TO THE QUARTERBACK ? THAT IS TO BE DETERMINED. HE’S ALSO 12 MONTHS RECOVERED FROM A KNEE INJURY WHICH HAS TO BE A RED FLAG IF HE’S GOING TO BE ASKED TO GAIN WEIGHT AND PLAY WITH HIS HAND ON THE GROUND. I’M ALSO NOT SURE IF HE HAS THE EXPLOSIVE PASS RUSH SKILLS THAT SOME WILL WANT IN THE 3-4. TOO MANY ?’s FOR A FIRST ROUND GRADE IN MY OPINION.
BEARS THOUGHT: JONES HAS A LOT OF ENERGY BEHIND HIM. HIS BROTHER IS WINNING UFC FIGHTS, HIS OTHER BROTHER IS A GOOD YOUNG PLAYER ON A GREAT BALTIMORE DEFENSE. HOWEVER, CHANDLER IS A DEFENSIVE END, NOT A TACKLE. HIS PRIMARY PURPOSE WILL BE TO RUSH THE PASSER, HE JUST DOESN’T HAVE ENOUGH BURST TO PROVIDE A CONSISTANT BURST… JONES HAS ENOUGH BUZZ TO SLIDE INTO THE FIRST ROUND AND WOULD BE A HUGE RISK CONSIDERING THE PLAYERS AVAILABLE IN ADDITION TO HIM.
|
39 |
STL |
KEVIN ZEITTLER |
G |
WISCONSIN |
ZEITTLER IS A STRONG HANDED RIGHT GUARD CAPABLE OF PLAYING ANYWHERE ACROSS THE MIDDLE OF THE LINE AND SOME RIGHT TACKLE IN A PINCH. ZEITTLER CAN PULL AND TRAP WITH EASE, PLAYS WITH A LOW PAD LEVEL AND JOLTS THE DEFENSIVE LINEMAN IN THE RUN GAME. GETS TO THE SECOND LEVEL WITH PROPER FOOTWORK AND ANGLES. STRONG AND ATHLETIC GUARDS WHO CAN MOVE THE POINT OF ATTACK ARE HARD TO FIND AND LANDING IN THE TOP 50 IS A GOOD DEAL FOR ST. LOUIS WHO HAS INVESTED IN JASON SMITH AND RODGER SAFFOLD AT THE TACKLE POSITIONS.
|
40 |
CAR |
STEPHEN HILL |
WR |
GEORGIA TECH |
HILL HAS INCREDIBLE SIZE AND SPEED. HOWEVER, HE IS LIMITED IN HIS POLISH WHEN IT COMES TO RUNNING ROUTES AND CATCHING THE BALL WITH HIS HANDS INSTEAD OF HIS BODY. CAROLINA DOESN’T HAVE A BIG TARGET TO THROW TO ON THE OUTSIDE AND STEVE SMITH IS NO SPRING CHICKEN. GETTING A TARGET FOR CAM PROVIDES A LOT OF OPPORTUNITY FOR AN EXPANDING OFFENSE. HILL IS ALSO A TERRIFIC AND ACTIVE BLOCKER WHICH FITS EXTREMELY WELL IN THIS SYSTEM.
|
41 |
BUF |
JAYRON HOSLEY |
CB |
VIRGINIA TECH |
HOSLEY IS A BIT UNDERSIZED BUT PLAYS WITH AN AGGRESSIVE SWAGGER AND IS A PLAYMAKER IN MAN TO MAN COVERAGE. A RETURN SPECIALIST IS ADDED VALUE AND A NEEDED ADDITION TO THE SPECIAL TEAMS. A TREMENDOUS VALUE AT THIS POINT AND SOMEONE THAT WILL CONTRIBUTE IN THE NICKEL IMMEDIATELY AND POSSIBLY OUTPLAY LEODIS McKELVIN.

42 |
MIA |
BOBBIE MASSIE |
T |
OLE MISS |
A PHYSICALLY IMPRESSIVE RIGHT TACKLE PROSPECT WHO CAN MOVE THE PILE IN THE RUN GAME AND HAS A LOT OF ATHLETICISM AND IS LOADED WITH EXPERIENCE. LED THE SEC IN PANCAKE BLOCKS AND DID SO ON A 2-11 TEAM. MASSIE WAS AN ELITE PREP RECRUIT WHO OPTED FOR OLE MISS OVER ‘BAMA. MASSIE SEEMS TO HAVE A LOT OF TALENT, BUT HAS NEVER ARRIVED ON THE SPOTLIGHT

SEA |
BROCK OSWEILER |
QB |
ARIZONA STATE |
OSWEILER IS A TALL STRONG ARMED QUARTERBACK WHO WORKED IN A TIMING SPREAD OFFENSE WITH A LOT OF YARDS AFTER CATCH INFLATING HIS COMPLETION PERCENTAGE AND YARDAGE STATISTICS. LOOKING AT HIS MECHANICS HE HAS A SEMI-SIDEARM RELEASE SIMILAR TO REX GROSSMAN. TANNEHILL HOWEVER IS 6’7 AND WON’T STRUGGLE TO SEE THE FIELD LIKE REX. MATT FLYNN IS ANYTHING BUT A GUARANTEE AT QUARTERBACK AND WHILE TAVARIS JACKSON WILL STAY THE #2 FOR A SEASON, OSWEILER COULD HAVE THE ARM TO GO DOWNFIELD AND UP THE SEAM. DEVELOPMENTAL PROSPECT WHO GOES AHEAD OF WHERE HE SHOULD.

44 |
KC |
SHEA McCLELLIN |
DE/OLB |
BOISE STATE |
McCLELLIN IS A FOOTBALL PLAYER. PLAIN AND SIMPLE. COMES FROM A SMALLER PROGRAM BUT WAS THE BEST AND MOST CONSISTANT PERFORMER ON A DEFENSE THAT IS GOING TO PRODUCE FIVE DRAFT CHOICES THIS YEAR ALONE. McCLELLIN HAS GREAT SIZE AT 6’5 265 AND THE ABILITY TO WEAR OFFENSIVE LINEMAN DOWN THROUGH A GAME. WILL WORK IN A ROTATION AND ON SPECIAL TEAMS IMMEDIATELY.
|
45 |
DAL |
BRANDON BOYKIN |
CB |
GEORGIA |
BOYKIN HAS INCREDIBLE ATHLETICISM AND PLAYS LIKE HIS HAIR IS ON FIRE WHEN FILLING AGAINST THE RUN HE IS QUICK TO THE POINT AND PICKS A LOW TARGET. CAN FLIP AND RUN WITH ANYONE, WHILE ONLY 5’9 HE CAN PHYSICALLY HOLD UP IN THE NFL WILL BE HIS BIGGEST QUESTION. ADDS VALUE AS A RETURN MAN AND HAS SOME EXPERIENCE PLAYING OFFENSE, SHOWING RELIABLE HANDS. TOUGHNESS AND COMPETITIVE SPIRIT ARE VISIBLE ASSETS FOR BOYKINS, BUT DON’T BE FOOLED, HE CAN PRESS AND RUN WITH THE BEST IN THE SEC AND PRACTICED AGAINST AJ GREEN
|
46 |
PHI |
MYCHAL KENDRICKS |
OLB |
CALIFORNIA |
PAC-12 DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR. WAS THE FASTEST LINEBACKER AT THE COMBINE. INCREDIBLE INSTINCTS AND THE ABILITY TO WRAP-UP AND DRIVE THROUGH TACKLES. WILL BE HURT BECAUSE OF LIMITED SIZE (5’11 230) AND WILL BE TRANSITIONING OUTSIDE FROM THE MIKE POSITION.
|
47 |
NYJ |
LAMAR MILLER |
RB |
MIAMI (FL) |
MILLER BRINGS SOME SPEED INTO THE JETS BACKFIELD. THE JETS NEED A FEW FRESH LEGS AS SHONNE GREENE IS NOT GETTING THE JOB DONE. MILLER HAS HANDS AND COULD BRING ENOUGH SPEED TO CHANGE THE FACE OF THE OFFENSE AND MAKE THE INTERMEDIATE PASSING GAME OPEN UP AS LINEBACKERS WILL HAVE TO GIVE MORE ATTENTION TO MILLER IN THE PASSING GAME…SIMILAR TO THE OFFENSE SANCHEZ RAN AT USC
|
48 |
NE |
HARRISON SMITH |
S |
NOTRE DAME |
SMITH IS AN EXPERIENCED AND ATHLETIC SAFETY WHO CAN FILL AGAINST THE RUN AND IS A BETTER ATHLETE THAN ANYONE WANTS TO GIVE HIM CREDIT FOR. WHEN HE PICKS UP THE SPEED OF THE GAME, HE WILL BE AN INTIMIDATING STRONG SAFETY. WILL BE AN IMMEDIATE SPECIAL TEAMS CONTRIBUTOR AND BRING A POSITIVE ENERGY TO THE DEFENSE. THE PATRIOTS HAVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR A STRONG SAFETY SINCE RODNEY HARRISON LEFT TOWN. SMITH IS A PERFECT FIT IN NEW ENGLAND.
BEARS THOUGHT: SMITH IS A SOLID ATHLETE. HOWEVER, HE MISSES TOO MANY TACKLES IN THE OPEN FIELD. PLAYS A DECENT CENTERFIELD, BUT WHEN ASKED TO COVER A SLOT RECEIVER HE IS TOTALLY OUT OF HIS ELEMENT. WAY TOO STIFF FOR MY TASTES. IF HE WAS TRYING TO FIT AT STRONG SAFETY FOR A TEAM WITH A ZONE SCHEME, I WOULD BE A BIG FAN, BUT THE BEARS STARTED CHRIS CONTE AT FREE SAFETY LAST YEAR AND GETTING HIM OFF THE FIELD HAS TO BE A PRIORITY…I LIKE JANZEN JACKSON, CHRISTIAN THOMPSON OR TRENT ROBINSON LATER BEFORE PUTTING A SQUARE PEG IN A ROUND HOLE.
|
49 |
SD |
COLBY FLEENER |
TE |
STANFORD |
FLEENER IS A GREAT PASS CATCHING TIGHT END AND A CAPABLE SLOT RECEIVER. ANTONIO GATES HAS A BIG CONTRACT AND IS SHOWING SIGNS OF SLOWING DOWN AND STIFFENING UP. FLEENER GETS TO LEARN FROM ONE OF THE BEST AND PROVIDE A BIG BODY TARGET TO REPLACE VINCENT JACKSON. GREAT OFFENSIVE FIT AND KEEPS THE THROTTLE DOWN ON A DIVSION THAT IS IN FLUX YET AGAIN.
BEARS THOUGHT: FLEENER WON’T FALL THIS FAR. HE DOESN’T CARRY A HIGH ENOUGH OF A GRADE TO GO MUCH HIGHER, BUT SOMEONE WILL TRADE UP OR DOWN AND SHUFFLE THE BOARD ENOUGH TO HAVE A TEAM LIKE CLEVELAND OR ST LOUIS END UP WITH FLEENER AS THEIR QUARTERBACK SUPPORT SYSTEM TO COME OUT OF THE DRAFT. I ALSO DON’T THINK HE FITS THE BEARS SYSTEM AS THEY LIKE KELLEN DAVIS AS A BREAKOUT PASS CATCHER AND MATT SPAETH AS THE BLOCKING TIGHT END WHO MAY SEE MORE TIME.
|
50 |
CHI |
DEVON STILL |
DT |
PENN STATE |
STILL HAS AN EXPLOSIVE PRESENCE INSIDE CAPABLE OF COLLAPSING THE POCKET AND WINNING THE EDGE OFF THE SNAP. POWERFUL HANDS AND PLAYS WITH A MEAN STREAK. PHYSICALLY OVERWHELMED BIG TEN LINEMAN AND THAT ISN’T EASY TO DO. STRUGGLED AGAINST FOREMAN, ZEITTLER AND MOLK…BUT MADE MOST LOOK SILLY. STRONG WORKOUTS. CHARACTER ISSUES AS HE HAS BEEN SUSPENDED FOR OFF FIELD RUN INS WITH THE LAW AND MAY BE BETTER SERVED ON A TEAM WITH A STRONG LEADERSHIP BASE AND FOCUSED PROFESSIONALS…
**KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR… IF THE DEFENSIVE TACKLE POSITION SLIDES TO THE END OF ROUND ONE , BEFORE THERE IS A RUN WORTHY, BROCKERS & STILL…DON’T BE SURPRISED IF THE BEARS DON’T TRY TO TRADE UP TO LAND AN ATHLETIC NOSE TACKLE. THEY WILL ALSO ADDRESS THE THREE TECHNIQUE IN LATER ROUNDS, BUT THE PICK IS MADE AS A RESULT OF ANTHONY ADAMS AND AMOBI OKOYE BEING GONE AND STEPHEN PAEA PLAYING THE MAJORITY OF THE SNAPS ON A BAD KNEE…

BEN JONES |
C |
GEORGIA |
||
PHILLY HAS BEEN SHUFFLING CENTERS IN AND OUT OF THE LINEUP FOR YEARS…BEN JONES HAS SECOND ROUND VALUE WITH A REPUTATION FOR PLAYING DOWN RIGHT NASTY. PLAYS LOW AND SOMETIMES TOO FAR OUT IN FRONT OF HIS FEET, BUT IF THAT IS SELF CORRECTING WITH SPEED TO SOME DEGREE AND IF THE BUCCANEERS ARE GOING TO BE A TOUGH TEAM ON OFFENSE, THEY COULDN’T FIND A BETTER PERSON TO BRING IN. JONES COULD GO IN THE TOP 50
|
52 |
TEN |
KENDALL REYES |
DT |
UCONN |
REYES IS A TWO TIME ALL BIG EAST DEFENSIVE TACKLE. PLAYS WITH STRONG HANDS AND HAS SHOWN GOOD PURSUIT DOWN THE LINE. SHOULD BE A NICE COMPLIMENT TO A DEFENSIVE FRONT WHICH IS QUICKLY BUILDING SPEED AND ATHLETICISM. JASON JONES WAS A TALL, LONG AND ATHLETIC DEFENSIVE TACKLE WHO REYES REMINDS ME OF AT TIME.

53 |

DAVID WILSON |
RB |
VIRGINIA TECH |
WILSON SLIPS ON DRAFT DAY AS HE LACKS ANY ELITE SKILL SET. DID NOT GET INTO THE ENDZONE AGAINST QUALITY COMPETITION AND WAS BEHIND BOTH DARREN EVANS AND RYAN WILLIAMS FOR MOST OF HIS TENURE IN BLACKSBURG. WILSON HAS THE PHYSICAL TOOLS TEAMS LOOK FOR AND LOW MILEAGE ON THE TIRES. THE BENGALS HAVE BERNARD SCOTT, BRIAN LEONARD AND BEN-JARVIS GREEN-ELLIS…WILSON IS CAPABLE OF TAKING 20 CARRIES A GAME AND THAT IS LACKING AMONGST ANY OF THE PLAYERS LISTED ABOVE.
|
54 |
DET |
TRUMAINE JOHNSON |
CB/FS |
MONTANA |
SMALL SCHOOL CORNER WITH GOOD SIZE AND AN AGGRESSIVE STYLE OF PLAY THAT COULD CONVERT TO THE FREE SAFETY POSITION AS OFFENSES CONTINUE TO SPREAD THE FIELD WITH MORE RECEIVERS, FINDING SAFETIES WHO CAN TURN AND RUN WITH THE SLOT RECEIVER ALLOWS DEFENSES TO PLAY MORE AGGRESSIVE AND MAINTAIN PERSONEL WITH VARIABLE PACKAGE/PLANS.
|
55 |
ATL |
MITCHELL SCHWARTZ |
T |
CALIFORNIA |
SAM BAKER LOST THE STARTING LEFT TACKLE JOB AND THE RIGHT SIDE WASN’T EXACTLY A FINELY OPERATING MACHINE. SCHWARTZ WILL START ON DAY ONE WHEN HE COMES TO ATLANTA AND IS A CAPABLE RUN AND PASS BLOCKER WHICH IS A RARE FIND IN THE SECON ROUNS.
BEARS THOUGHT: SCHWARTZ HAS AN IMPRESSIVE RESUME FOR A LINEMAN. EXPERIENCE PLAYING A VARIETY OF POSITIONS AND EARNING FIRST TEAM ALL PAC-12 (MARTIN, KALIL, DECASTRO) GIVES HIM GOOD COMPANY IN TERMS OF PEERS. HAS THE ABILITY TO PASS PROTECT BUT MAY NOT HAVE IT TO AN ELITE LEVEL. PLAYED WELL AGAINST STANFORD BUT TEAM STRUGGLED MOST OF THE SEASON TO SCORE POINTS.

PITT |
BRANDON BROOKS |
G |
MIAMI (OH) |
BROOKS IS A 6’5 350LB LINEMAN WITH SOLID MOVEMENT SKILLS AND STOUT POWER. DOESN’T PLAY WITH A HIGH LEVEL OF INTENSITY, BUT HIS ATHLETICISM AND SIZE ARE SUCH RARE COMBINATIONS, SOME COACH WILL STAND ON THE TABLE AND SAY THAT HE IS THE KIND OF PLAYER HE CAN MOULD AND DEVELOP INTO A GUARD OR TACKLE
|
57 |
DEN |
NIGEL BRADHAM |
LB |
FLORIDA STATE |
BRADHAM IS A TERRIFIC PLAYER WITH INCREDIBLE STRENGTH AND THE ABILITY TO PLAY ALL THREE POSITIONS AT LINEBACKER. I CAN’T EXPRESS HOW HIGHLY I VIEW BRADHAM’S ABILITY TO TRANSLATE TO THE NFL LEVEL AND WHOEVER LANDS HIM WILL HAVE A TEN YEAR CONTRIBUTOR WHO WORKS HARD, LEADS BY EXAMPLE IN THE WEIGHT ROOM AND CARRIES A CLEAN BILL OF HEALTH.
BEARS THOUGHT: IF THE BEARS WERE GOING TO FIND A SAM LINEBACKER WHO COULD TRANSITION OVER TO THE MIKE OR WILL TO REPLACE THE TWO HALL OF FAMERS NEXT TO HIM, BRADHAM WOULD BE A PERFECT FIT. HE HAS GREAT SIZE, SPEED, ATHLETICISM. HE HITS HARDER THAN ANYONE ELSE IN THE DRAFT AND I CAN’T THINK OF A HARDER HITTER FROM THE LINEBACKER SPOT WHO HASN’T MISSED TIME WITH A SHOULDER, KNEE, CONCUSSION OR SOMETHING? BRADHAM IS A PHYSICAL FREAK AND MIGHT BE MY FAVORITE PLAYER IN THE DRAFT http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9RDfkvOMXU

HOU |
ALAMA’DU TA’ AMU |
NT |
WASHINGTON |
TA’AMU IS A CAPABLE NOSE TACKLE AND THE BRONCOS HAVE BEEN LAGGING A SPACE EATER IN THE MIDDLE. THE BRONCOS AREN’T SETTLED ON A ODD OR EVEN FRONT, BUT TA’AMU CAN ALSO FLASH ENOUGH ABILITY TO PLAY THE ONE GAP PENETRATING SYSTEM FROM THE NOSE… TA’AMU IS A 340 LB MONSTER WHO PLAYS QUICKER THAN HIS SIZE WOULD INDICATE AND COMES WITH A CLEAN BILL OF HEALTH, WHICH IS ABOUT AS RARE AS HIS SIZE.

ALFONZO DENNARD |
CB |
NEBRASKA |
||
DENNARD IS THE TOP TALENT ON THE BOARD AND FILLS A POSITIONAL NEED FOR THE LIONS WHO LACK ANYTHING RESEMBLING A SHUTDOWN CORNER. DENNARD FITS ABOUT ANY DEFENSE BECAUSE HE CAN PRESS AND RUN WITH MOST RECEIVERS AND IS A SOUND TACKLER ON THE OUTSIDE. HAS SOME INJURY CONCERNS, BUT NONE THAT SHOULD STOP HIM AT THIS POINT IN THE DRAFT

BAL |
BRUCE IRVIN |
DE/OLB |
WEST VIRGINIA |
IRVIN IS THE TAZMANIAN DEVIL OF PASS RUSHERS. WITH NO DEFINED EDGE RUSHERS, ADDING A GUY LIKE IRVIN TO A LOCKER ROOM OF PRO’S WHO WILL DEMAND HIS FOCUS AND ALLOW HIS ATHLETICISM TO PRODUCE ON SPECIAL TEAMS AND AS A SITUATIONAL PASS RUSHER. A DANGEROUS FIT FOR A TEAM THAT MAKES IT HAY ON DEFENSE AND SPECIAL TEAMS
|
61 |
SF |
AMINI SILATOLU |
G |
MIDWESTERN ST |
SILATOLU WAS A SMALL SCHOOL LEFT TACKLE WHO PROJECTS INSIDE AT GUARD. HAS GOOD MOBILITY AND STRENGTH AT THE POINT OF ATTACK. SHOULD BE A NICE FIT INSIDE FOR AN OFFENSE WHICH FOCUSES ON PASS BLOCKING, BUT HAS THE ABILITY TO SLIDE AND WALL IN RUN BLOCKING TO OPEN HOLES FOR AN EXPLOSIVE TANDEM OF RUNNING BACKS.
|
62 |
NE |
PHILLIP BLAKE |
C |
BAYLOR |
BLAKE HAS THE LOOK OF A STARTER AT CENTER. SOLID LOWER BODY STRENGTH AND EXPLOSION OFF THE LINE. SHOWS A POWERFUL FLASH OFF THE BALL AND IS A VERY STRONG SHOTGUN SNAPPER, WHICH FITS THE NEW ENGLAND SPREAD OFFENSE. BLAKE IS A CANADIAN NATIVE, SO THE COLD WEATHER WON’T BE TOO MUCH OF AN ADJUSTMENT.

LAVONTE DAVID |
OLB |
NEBRASKA |
DAVID IS A TACKLING MACHINE FROM THE WEAKSIDE AND WILL FIT IN NEW YORK BRILLIANTLY. AN UNDERSIZED PLAYMAKER WHO AVERAGED OVER TEN TACKLES PER GAME IN THE BIG 12 WHO CAN DROP AND COVER WITH THE BEST OF THEM. A STARTER ON OPENING DAY WHO WILL CONTRIBUTE ON SPECIAL TEAMS IF HE STRUGGLES TO PICK UP THE SCHEME.

CHASE MINNIFIELD |
CB |
VIRGINIA |
BEST PLAYER AVAILABLE BY MY ACCOUNT. HAS SIZE, DECENT SPEED AND A KNACK FOR FINDING THE FOOTBALL. WHEN RAS-I DOWLING WAS OPPOSITE MINNIFIELD HE WAS OUTSTANDING WITH SUPPORT COVERAGE FROM THE SAFETY. HAS AN NFL PEDIGREE AND THE POTENTIAL TO PLAY RIGHT AWAY IN THE NICKEL AND POSSIBLY AT SOME FREE SAFETY.
|
65 |
STL |
ZEBRIE SANDERS |
T |
FLORIDA STATE |
SANDERS COMES INTO A TEAM THAT HAS ONE OF THE MOST DIFFICULT OFFENSES TO PASS BLOCK IN. A SHORT DROP WEST COAST ATTACK WITH A QB WHO BREAKS THE POCKET. SANDERS HAS THE MEASURABLES TO PLAY ON THE LEFT SIDE IN A PINCH, BUT HAS MORE EXPERIENCE AND A CHANCE TO REPLACE FORMER #2 OVERALL PICK JASON SMITH AT RIGHT TACKLE
|
66 |
MIN |
CASEY HAYWARD |
CB |
VANDERBILT |
AT 5’11 HAYWARD DOESN’T HAVE THE ELITE SIZE AT CORNER TO MATCHUP AGAINST THE BIGGER RECEIVERS IN THE NFL, HOWEVER HE IS AN ACTIVE DEFENDER WHO WAS THIRD IN THE NATION IN PASSES DEFENDED AND A SECOND TEAM ALL-SEC COACHES SELECTION. HE CARRIES RESPECT BECAUSE HE HAS PLAYED UP TO THE TALENT OF THE LEAGUE, BUT FAILS TO CARRY A HIGH DRAFT GRADE BECAUSE OF SIZE AND SPEED CONCERNS.
|
67 |
CLE |
VINNI CURRY |
DE |
MARSHALL |
CURRY HAS A LOT OF BUZZ AND COULD SLIDE INTO THE SECOND ROUND, HOWEVER HIS LACK OF SPEED IS A CONCERN AS WAS HIS DISAPPOINTING SENIOR SEASON. CURRY HAS A GOOD FRAME TO BUILD ON, BUT MAY NOT HAVE THE EXPLOSIVE FIRST STEP TO BE AN EFFECTIVE EDGE RUSHER. HOWEVER THAT ISN’T TO SAY HE COULDN’T PLAY STOUT AGAINST THE RUN, WHICH IN THE AFC NORTH IS A HIGHLY COVETED SKILL
|
68 |
TMP |
KEENAN ROBINSON |
LB |
TEXAS |
ROBINSON IS A TREMENDOUS ATHLETE WHO CARRIES SOME SIZE AND PLAYS WITH GOOD VISION. HAD TWO DISAPPOINTING TEAM SEASONS FOR THE LONGHORNS, HOWEVER MOST SCOUTS WILL POINT OUT THAT ROBINSON HAS THE SIZE, EXPERIENCE, HEALTH, SPEED AND COMES FROM A SYSTEM WHERE HE WAS FORCED TO PLAY OUTSIDE AGAINST THE SPREAD OFFENSES OF THE BIG 12 WHICH LIMITED HIM BEING ABLE TO PLAY TO HIS STRENGTH OF STOPPING THE RUN AND COVERING THE TIGHT END.

69 |
WAS |
VONTAZE BURFICT |
MLB |
ARIZONA STATE |
BURFICT HAS HAD THE WORST OFFSEASON OF ANY DRAFT PROSPECT ON THE BOARD. SHOWED UP OVERWEIGHT AND SLOW TO THE COMBINE AND HAS BLASTED HIS FORMER COACHES AND TEAMMATES IN INTERVIEWS. BURFICT HAS TALENT…HOWEVER IT WILL BE LIMITED TO A TEAM WHO RUNS A 3-4 BASE DEFENSE AND LIMITS HIM IN PASS COVERAGE AS HE CAN NOT DROP WITH THE SPEED AND ATHLETICISM NECESSARY TO COVER THE MIDDLE OF THE FIELD. HOWEVER AGAINST THE RUN, HE IS TRULY SPECIAL. HE MAY SLIP TO THE FIFTH ROUND, BUT I LIKE HIS FIT AND ENERGY COMING INTO WASHINGTON WHERE HIS TOUGHNESS WILL COMPLIMENT AND COVER UP THE OUTSIDE PASS RUSHERS.

70 |
JAX |
MARKELLE MARTIN |
S |
OKLAHOMA STATE |
MARTIN HAS GREAT SIZE AND RANGE IN THE SECONDARY. WOULD HAVE GONE MUCH HIGHER THAN THE MIDDLE THIRD ROUND BEFORE HIS OFFSEASON KNEE INJURY WHICH HAS LIMITED HIM IN WORKOUTS, BUT IF HE CAN GET A CLEAN BILL OF HEALTH, HE WILL PROVIDE TREMENDOUS VALUE FOR THE TEAM WHO SELECTS HIM. PLAYS HIS BEST IN BIG GAMES, FINDS THE FOOTBALL AND TACKLES WELL IN THE OPEN FIELD. HARD TO FIND A HOLE IN HIS GAME, BUT WHEN THE INJURY REPORT SAYS ‘FLUID BEING DRAINED FROM HIS KNEE’ THAT COULD REMOVE HIM ENTIRELY FROM SOME TEAMS DRAFT BOARDS
BEARS THOUGHT: MARTIN POSSESSES THE PHYSICAL SKILL SET THAT FITS THE FREE SAFETY POSITION IN THE TAMPA 2. HE CAN TURN AND RUN, HAS THE INSTINCTS TO RECOGNIZE RUN/PASS AND HE CONSISTANTLY MADE BIG PLAYS AGAINST OKLAHOMA, TEXAS AND ON PRIMETIME BROADCASTS. HE LIKES THE SPOTLIGHT AND IS A SMART FOOTBALL PLAYER. THE BIGGEST ATTRACTION TO HIS GAME IS THAT HE IS ASSIGNMENT SOUND, WHICH INCREASES HIS EFFECTIVENESS AND LIMITS THE STRAIN ON HIS BODY.

71 |
BUF |
DEWAYNE ALLEN |
TE |
CLEMSON |
ALLEN ISN’T A TREMENOUS BLOCKER AND LACKS EXPLOSIVE SPEED. HOWEVER HE DOES HAVE ABOVE AVERAGE HANDS, RUNS PRECISE ROUTES AND AS A RESULT OF TECHNIQUE IS AN EFFECTIVE BLOCKER AND CREATES SEPERATION IN THE PASSING TREE. MAY NEVER BE ELITE, BUT CAN BE GOOD.
|
72 |
MIA |
AJ JENKINS |
WR |
ILLINOIS |
JENKINS HAS ELITE SPEED AND PLAYS FAST. HAS AVERAGE SIZE AND QUICKNESS WITHIN HIS GAME, BUT HE PLAYS WITH PASSION AND IS THE TYPE OF RECEIVER THAT MIAMI NEEDS TO OPEN UP THE TOP OF DEFENSES WHERE DEVON BESS AND THE TIGHT ENDS CAN PLAY WITH MORE SPACE. WITH BRANDON MARSHALL GONE THERE IS A HUGE HOLE IN THE DOLPHINS RECEIVING GROUP THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. EARLY AND OFTEN.
|
73 |
MIA* |
ALSHON JEFFERY |
WR |
SOUTH CAROLINA |
JEFFERY IS A BIG BODIED POSSESSION AND RED ZONE RECEIVER WHO WILL BLEND WELL IN THE NFL GAME. THE DOLPHINS WILL NEED A TARGET THEY CAN RELY ON AND JEFFERY GIVES THEM ONE WITH SIZE AND POTENTIAL. HE MAY NOT BE AN IDEAL FIT IN AN OFFENSE THAT WANTS TO SPREAD THE FIELD AND USE PRECISE ROUTES AND SPEED, BUT MIKE SHERMAN WAS SUCCESSFUL IN USING JEFF FULLER AND MAY HAVE SIMILAR HOPES FOR JEFFERY IN MIAMI

KIRK COUSINS |
QB |
MICHIGAN STATE |
COUSINS IS A SOLID PROSPECT. HAS THE ARM AND THE INTANGIBLES. HAS BETTER THAN ADVERTISED ATHLETICISM AND IS CAPABLE OF THROWING THE BALL DOWN FIELD AND HIT THE OUTS. A WINNER. LEADS HIS TEAM WITH HIS PLAY AND WITH SOME MODEST VOCALS. COMES FROM A PROGRAM WHERE MISTAKES WERE MINIMIZED IN ORDER FOR THE GROUP TO IMPROVE EFFICIENCY, WHICH SHOULD TRANSLATE WELL.

75 |
SEA |
ORSON CHARLES |
TE |
GEORGIA |
CHARLES HAS LESS THAN IDEAL SIZE AT 6’2+, BUT HAS GREAT SPEED, IS A PHYSICAL SPECIMEN AND IS A TRY HARD BLOCKER WHO GETS RESULTS ON THE OUTSIDE BECAUSE OF HIS ATHLETICISM. CAPABLE OF SPLITTING OUTSIDE TO THE SLOT AND WORKING THE SEEM. THE QUARTERBACKS BEST FRIEND HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE RUNNING GAME AND A TIGHT END TO WORK THE SEEM. WITH CHARLES THE SEAHAWKS HAVE AN ATHLETIC TIGHT END TO SPLIT THE SEEM AND A TRY HARD BLOCKER TOO
|

HOU |
JARED CRICK |
DE/DT |
NEBRASKA |
CRICK IS AN AGGRESSIVE RUN STUFFING DEFENSIVE END FOR THE 3-4 CAPABLE OF COLLAPSING THE POCKET WITH A BULL RUSH AND SLANTING INSIDE AGAINST A DOUBLE TEAM AND PILING UP BLOCKERS. THE DEFENSIVE LINE MAY NEED A FACELIFT UP FRONT AND CRICK PROVIDES SOME IMMEDIATE CONTRIBUTIONS. CRICK IS A LONG-TERM REPLACEMENT TO JUSTIN SMITH AND A ROTATION GUY IMMEDIATELY.

KALECHI OSEMELE |

IOWA STATE |
OSEMELE WAS A LEFT TACKLE AT IOWA STATE AND HAS ENOUGH ATHLETICISM TO PLAY GUARD OR BE AN ATHLETIC RIGHT TACKLE WITH ENOUGH SIZE TO BE COACHED INTO USING IT TO CREATE LEVERAGE AND MOVEMENT IN THE RUN GAME. DEVELOPMENTAL PROSPECT WHO HAS SOME BUZZ IN THE SCOUTING COMMUNITY, COULD PLAY SOONER THAN LATER BECAUSE OF A LACK OF DEPTH IN NEW YORK

NORTH CAROLINA |
JONES IS A MASSIVE TARGET THAT WHEN HE GOT EXTENDED PLAYING TIME, PRODUCED. OVER 1,200 YARDS AND 12 TD’S HIS FINAL SEASON IN CHAPEL HILL, ADD TO THE MIX AN IMPRESSIVE WORKOUT OFFSEASON AND HE MAY CLIMB INTO THE TOP 40. DENARIOUS MOORE AND DARIUS HAYWARD-BEY ARE THE ONLY RECEIVING THREATS ON THE ROSTER AND THEY ARE INCAPABLE OF BEING A LEAD RECEIVER. JONES HAS THE SIZE TO GIVE SMALLER CORNERS FITS AND THE TOUGHNESS TO GO OVER THE MIDDLE AND ALLOW THE OFFENSE TO EXPAND.

TRENT ROBINSON |

MICHIGAN STATE |
ROBINSON IS A GREAT ATHLETE WHO CAN RUN WITH THE BEST OF THEM. IS AN ACTIVE AND EXCITABLE FREE SAFETY WHO CAN COVER THE SLOT AND HIS READ RECOGNITION SKILLS ARE TOP OF THE CLASS. HE IS A BIT UNDERSIZED AT 5’10 200#; BUT HE DOESN’T RELY ON USING HIS HEAD/SHOULDER TO MAKE CONTACT WHEN TACKLING AND OFTEN PREFERS TO GO LOW ON RUNNING BACKS AND TIGHT ENDS, MINIMIZING THE WEAR AND TEAR ON HIS BODY, HOWEVER HE CAN BE OVERMATCHED PHYSICALLY BY LARGER RECEIVERS.

LATE INVITE TO SENIOR BOWL, WHO HAD A GREAT WEEK OF PRACTICE

BRANDON WASHINGTON |

MIAMI (FL) |
TO THE SURPRISE OF MANY WASHINGTON ENTERED THE DRAFT EARLY. MAY HAVE RAN FROM THE PROGRAM AS A RESULT OF THE PENDING PENALTIES. WASHINGTON IS A SHORTER LINEMAN WHO IS SOFT BODIED, BUT HAS SMALL ANKLES AND THAT TRANSLATES TO QUICK FEET AND NATURAL EXPLOSION. WASHINGTON IS A 3 YEAR JUNIOR WHICH MAKES HIM PHYSICALLY STILL A WORK IN PROGRESS WHERE A GREAT STRENGTH COACH COULD HAVE SOMETHING TO WORK WITH.

UTAH STATE |
WAGNER HAS SOLID MEASURABLES AND PERFORMED AT A VERY HIGH LEVEL FOR A SMALL PROGRAM. GENERALLY SPEAKING WAGNER MAKES A LOT OF PLAYS IN PURSUIT AND HAS ENOUGH SIZE TO HOLD UP AND SHED BLOCKERS. WHAT MAKES WAGNER RARE IS HIS SPEED AND ABILITY TO PLAY SIDELINE TO SIDELINE FROM THE INSIDE, WEAKSIDE OR STRONGSIDE…

ATL |
CAM JOHNSON |
DE |

JOHNSON IS AN ATHLETE FIRST AND FOREMOST, IF HE GETS A LITTLE COACHING HE COULD TURN INTO AN ELITE PERFORMER. HAS RARE SIZE/SPEED COMBINATIONS AND IS AN IMPOSING ATHLETE. PLAYS WELL IN PURSUIT, EXPOSES OPPONENTS FOOTWORK AND IF HE LEARNS TO PLAY MORE PHYSICAL IN HIS PASS RUSH MOVES, HE COULD BE AN ABSOLUTE STEAL.

CINCINNATI |
PEAD HAS AN EXPLOSIVE BURST THROUGH THE HOLE, IS A CAPABLE PASS CATCHER AND IS SOMEONE WHO CAN START AND TAKE THE BULK OF THE CARRIES OR STEP IN ON THIRD DOWN AND PROVIDE A CHANGE OF PACE. WITH MENDENHALL COMING BACK FROM A SERIOUS INJURY, IT MAY BE A NECESSITY RATHER THAN A LUXURY TO ADD A BACK LIKE PEAD TO THE MIX

CHRIS GIVENS |
WR |
WAKE FOREST |
GIVENS PROVIDES A GREAT SLOT RECEIVER WHO CAN POP THE TOP OF A DEFENSE. GIVENS ALLOWS DEMARYIOUS THOMAS TO WORK MORE OF THE SIDELINE ROUTES WHICH SUITS HIS SKILL SET. GIVENS WILL NOT MISS A BEAT TO STEP IN AND PRODUCE IMMEDIATELY ON THE FIELD, A TOUGH PLAYER WHO HAS A KNACK FOR FINDING HOLES IN THE ZONE AND BEING DIFFICULT IN THE OPEN FIELD TO BRING DOWN.

APPALACHIAN STATE |
QUICK POSTED 2,000 RECEIVING YARDS LAST SEASON…BIG BODY WITH NATURAL HANDS AND LONG-SPEED…LACK OF EXPERIENCE PLAYING FOOTBALL COULD POSE PROBLEMS FOR ANYONE LOOKING FOR AN IMMEDIATE IMPACT, BUT IN A PASSING OFFENSE, YOU CAN’T HAVE ENOUGH BIG TARGETS WILLING TO FIGHT FOR THE FOOTBALL AND USE THEIR SIZE IN THE RUN GAME AS A BLOCKER.

ALLEN HAS A HARD SELL CONVINCING GM’S THAT AT 6’3 AND CHANGE HE CAN HOLD UP ON THE OUTSIDE, THE GOOD NEWS IN GREEN BAY IS THAT THEY NEED GUARDS AND ALLEN’S BEST FIT MAY COME IN THAT ROLE. ALLEN HAS LONG ENOUGH ARMS, 47 CONSECUTIVE STARTS IN THE BIG TEN AND ENOUGH POLISH TO HIS GAME HE CAN PROVIDE VERSATILITY AS WELL AS HIGH END PERFORMANCE.

WOLFE IS A GAP PENETRATING DEFENSIVE TACKLE WHO PLAYS WELL BEHIND THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE AND IS DISRUPTIVE AS A RESULT OF HIS QUICKNESS AND ABILITY TO HAND FIGHT IN THE TRENCHES. PLAYED AGAINST LIMITED COMPETITION AT CINCINNATI AND MAY NOT TRANSLATE AGAINST THE BEST OF THE BEST

JAMELL FLEMING |
CB |
OKLAHOMA |
FLEMING HAS GREAT FOOTWORK AND CAN TURN AND RUN WITH ANYONE AT THE NCAA LEVEL. NOT A SMART PLAYER. STRUGGLES IN SPACE. DOESN’T TACKLE WELL AND LACKS TOUGHNESS TO PERFORM AT A HIGH LEVEL ON COVERAGE TEAMS. A COVER CORNER SPECIALIST WHO WILL STRUGGLE TO FIND A ROLE IN THE AGGRESSIVE SAINTS DEFENSE
