Arkansas at LSU

WR Jarius Wright (Arkansas) #4

Arkansas’ all time leading receiver, the senior Wright has 3 years of strong production with Ryan Mallett and Tyler Wilson at quarterback, Wright has really stepped up in place of Greg Childs’ injury and is having a career year as a senior. In 11 games, he has 61 catches for 1002 yards and 10 touchdowns. Last season, he caught 42 passes for 788 yards and 5 touchdowns and in 2009 he had 41 catches for 681 yards and 5 touchdowns. The 5-10 180 pound receiver isn’t the most athletic, but he’s a great pass catcher and should make a nice slot receiver at the next level. He looks like a day 2 pick.

WR Rueben Randle (LSU) #2

A big, physical receiver, the 6-4 210 pound receiver is having a strong junior season and could be a day 2 pick if he declares early. He’s a great run blocker and has caught 39 passes for 755 yards and 8 touchdowns on a conservative offensive with inconsistent quarterback play. LSU has completed 139 passes for 1844 yards and 19 touchdown of Randle is a large portion of their offense. He has all the tools to be an elite receiver at the next level, but he might be best served to return for his senior season and put up another year of strong production. He looks like an early day 3, late day 2 prospect at this point. After struggling against Alabama and Dre Kirkpatrick, he needs a good game here.

Pittsburgh at West Virginia

CB Keith Tandy (Pittsburgh) #8

A mid round pick and a 3 year starter, Tandy has 49 tackles, 9 deflections, 3 picks, and 2 tackles for loss on the season. In 2010, he had 57 tackles, 11 deflections, 6 picks, and 3 tackles for loss. In 2009, he had 61 tackles, 4 deflections, 3 picks, and 4 tackles for loss. He’s a bit undersized at 5-10 195, but he did a decent job on Rutgers’ Mohamed Sanu a few weeks ago.

OT Don Barclay (West Virginia) #64

Not the most athletic guy at 6-4 310, but West Virginia’s left tackle looks like a draftable prospect. He’ll probably have to move to right tackle or guard at the next level. He’ll be matched up with Brandon Lindsey in this game. Lindsey is a fringe day 2 prospect, but needs to pick up his production. After 10 sacks last year, he has 5.5 this year and needs a good job him to help his stock.

California at Arizona State

MLB Vontaze Burflict (Arizona State) #7

He gets a bad rep for being a dirty player, and while he will draw more flags than most players, it’s really just because his motor is non-stop. Plenty of people close to him will vouch that this is not a bad kid, but in fact a high character kid who loves football. Burflict could be the first linebacker off the board this year and is prematurely drawing comparisons to guys like Ray Lewis, Bart Scott, and Rolando McClain. It might not show so much on the stat sheet, but this kid has all the abilities and a world of upside. He has 63 tackles, 7 for loss, 5 sacks, 3 pass breakups, and a pick on the year in 11 games. He’s a powerful hitter who also can do all of the finesse things as well.

MLB Mychal Kendricks (California) #30

A 6-0 240 pound 3-4 middle linebacker in Cal’s 3-4 defense, Kendricks has 3 years of starting experience and has played both inside and outside at rush linebacker. This year he has 87 tackles, 10.5 for loss, 1.5 sacks, 2 deflections and 2 picks inside and last year he had 65 tackles, 14.5 for loss, 7 sacks, and a pick on the outside. He’s best fit as a 3-4 middle linebacker, but can also play in a 4-3. He’d be a good blitzing linebacker at the next level as well. He looks like a mid round pick at the next level.

Iowa State at Oklahoma

CB Jamell Fleming (Oklahoma) #32

A day 3 pick, the 5-11 190 pound Fleming has 6 pass deflections and an interception on the season. He’s a 2 year starter and is looking to get drafted late.

CB Leonard Johnson (Iowa State) #23

A rising prospect and a potential day 2 pick, though likely an early day 3 pick, Johnson has 57 tackles, 2 for loss, 6 deflections, and a pick. He had a good game against Oklahoma State’s awesome passing attack and is now rising and if he plays well against Oklahoma, he could end up in the 2^nd day of the draft.

11/26/11 3:30 PM ET

Alabama at Auburn

DT Josh Chapman (Alabama) #99

Josh Chapman doesn’t make a huge impact on the stat sheet with 20 tackles, 3.5 tackles for a loss, and a sack on the season, but the 6-1 310 nose tackle is great at tying up blockers and making things happen for the linebacker behind him in Alabama’s 3-4 defense. He’s gaining some steam as a potential 2nd or even late 1st rounder.

OT Barrett Jones (Alabama) #75

A left tackle at Alabama, Jones, a much better run blocker than a pass protector, projects as a guard at the next level. He’s got great technique, but he’s not very athletic and he doesn’t have the size (6-5 305) to make up for it. However, in Alabama’s run heavy offense, he’s a beast and part of the reason why Mark Ingram and Trent Richardson have had so much success in recent years.

11/26/11 8 PM ET

Notre Dame at Stanford

OLB Darius Fleming (Notre Dame) #45

A hybrid linebacker in Notre Dame’s 3-4/4-3 defense, the 6-2 255 pound Fleming has 49 tackles, 6 for loss, 3.5 sacks, and 3 pass deflections on the season. He looks like a late round pick.

S Delano Howell (Stanford) #26

A 3 year starter at strong safety for Stanford, the 5-11 200 pound Howell has been battling injury problems all year and has just 27 tackles in 8 games. Last year, he had 60 tackles, 1.5 for loss, 1 sack, 5 picks, and 5 deflections. He didn’t have a good game against Oregon, missing several tackles and struggling with Oregon’s speed. The undersized safety is probably a late round pick
