1-25 26-50 51-75 76-100 101-125 126-150 151-175 176-200 201-250 251-300

Go back to 101-125

 

126. RLB/DE Jason Worilds (Virginia Tech) 64

4/9/10: I rarely care when a player runs a faster 40 at his Pro Day than his Combine, but Worilds’ 4.47 makes me take notice. He ran a very solid 4.61 at his Combine, but a 4.47 at 6-1 254 puts him on a completely different level. He didn’t do much last year, but he has experience playing rush linebacker and has amazing athleticism. His athleticism is right behind that of Jason Pierre Paul and Sergio Kindle and his production was only slightly less than either of there’s. He could sneak into the 2nd round, but, like Kindle and JPP, I have him ranked lower than he could go because I like to see a player actually produce on the college level before I use a pick in the first 3 rounds on him. 

Very athletic, but lacked the production to match last year with only 4 sacks, though he did have 8 sacks in 2008. He has upside and the athleticism to play rush linebacker, but he’s a project and he could be a nickel rusher as well.

127. QB/WR Zac Robinson (Oklahoma State) 64

1/30/10: Though he still may ultimately end up at wide receiver, Robinson showed he can throw by throwing for 175 yards on 12-21, with one touchdown and one pick. He showed a much stronger arm than he did in Oklahoma State’s offense this year, which was centered around the short pass. He really looked like the 3rd round prospect he was last year before going into this season without his top two receivers from 2008 and struggling. He really showed what he can do with a good supporting cast. 

Really struggled this year compared to last year, but that’s understandable as he was without his top two receivers from 2008, Brandon Pettigrew (NFL), and Dez Bryant (suspension). I don’t think he’s a quarterback at the next level, though he may prove me wrong. He’s probably better off as a wildcat or a wide receiver at the next level, a la Josh Cribbs, but he could surprise some people and turn into a decent signal caller as well.

128. CB Trevard Lindley (Kentucky) 64                

3/2/10: Only benched 9 reps of 225 pounds and had a 4.53 40 at 5-11 183, but he was one of the worst cornerbacks in the cornerback drills. He has really disappointed in this draft preseason and has fallen from one of my favorite underrated prospects, to a 4^th or 5^th round guy

1/27/10: Whether it be his injuries that are still plaguing him or whatever, this is not the same guy we saw at Kentucky in 2007 and 2008. He looked like a stick figure at his weigh in and was 2 inches shorter than what he was listed at in college and he really has looked out matched by almost every wide receiver he has faced this week and has had a really hard time breaking out of the jam at the line of scrimmage, which is not a surprise because of his extreme lack of bulk.

He was one of my favorite cornerbacks in 2008 and could have been a 1^st round pick, but then he got hurt this season and was never the same. His shutdown skills were strongly lacking this year and his athleticism is pretty bad. He’s very skinny and pretty slow and has looked really bad in everything he has done in this draft Pre-Season, but I still see some upside in him. I still see some of the player I loved in him so this is a wishful 4^th round grade.

129. OT Sam Young (Notre Dame) 64

1/27/10: After measuring in at 305 pounds, 25 less than he was listed, and a very low number for someone trying to make a name for himself as a mauling right tackle, Young has been really bad in practice. His coaches have been yelling at him all week and he’s just not getting the memo.

He should have declared last year and could have been a 1^st round pick as a left tackle. However, this year, he was really exposed at the left tackle position for Notre Dame as part of one of the worst offensive lines in the country. He could still be drafted in the 2^nd or 3^rd round as a big run blocking right tackle because of his athleticism and his run blocking skills. He has good upside.

130. G Sergio Render (Virginia Tech) 64

A former elite guard prospect who falls back quite a bit this year after struggling a bit. He’s still worth a mid round prospect because he’s a great athlete who uses his hands well, but his leverage needs work.

131. John Skelton (Fordham) 63

3/15/10: Having never gotten the chance to see him play at Fordham, getting to watch Skelton throw at his Combine was pretty impressive. I have heard the hype around him, but was conservative in my grading of him, a small school kid, until I actually say what he had. The only thing he appeared to struggle with was deep accuracy, but he has a huge arm and showed nice touch and footwork on his short throws.

Didn’t have a high level of competition at Fordham, but he had good tape, good production, and a cannon for an arm, drawing premature comparisons to Joe Flacco. At 6-6 250, he probably has one of the 3 strongest arms in the draft class, but I am a bit skeptic about his touch and reads. He’s a project with some massive upside.

132. WR Jordan Shipley (Texas) 63            

2/28/10: Again, maybe another guy who has having a bad day, but a 4.57 hurts his stock until he proves himself to be faster than that at his pro day. This is a guy who needs to be fast at the next level to succeed.

He’s a fairly boring prospect, a what you see is what get type player, with good solid hands, but lacking athleticism and no major upside. He’s already 24, but he’s also already one of the most accomplished receivers in college football and he proved with his strong game in the BCS Championship that he could do it without Colt McCoy. He should be a good slot guy at the next level, but he lacked good speed at the combine which is a bit concerning.

133. RB Ben Tate (Auburn) 63           

2/28/10: Quietly had a very impressive day with a 4.45 40 at 5-11 220, along with a 40.5 inch vertical, a 10 foot 4 inch broad jump and a position leading 26 reps of 225 pounds. He’s always had the athleticism, but he’s been plagued by inconsistencies in the past so it’ll be interesting to see if he puts it together at the next level because if he does, he’s going to be a good player.

He has the athletic tools, size and speed, to be a good running back and finally had an impressive statistical season this year, but he has a history of inconsistency, even this year and scouts hate players who are inconsistent. He’ll probably get drafted with a mid round pick but I don’t see much of anything special in him. 

134. DE/3-4 DE CJ Wilson (East Carolina) 63       

3/1/10: A very underrated left end prospect, but a 4.75 40 at 290 will get him noticed, as will 32 reps on the bench press. He could be looking at the 4^th round after some slow defensive end times today.

A very athletic left end, with 15 sacks over the last two years and the size to play on the line in both a 4-3 and a 3-4 scheme. He’s a bit of a project, but I love his upside with his athleticism and I think he can be a starting left end in the NFL in a few years.

135. CB Crezdon Butler (Clemson) 63         

3/2/10: A very impressive 4.41 at 6-0 191, plus he did well in his positional drills, which I find to be the most important thing from him as a late round prospect.

A fairly standard cornerback who should be a good depth guy at the next level, but he’s pretty skinny and doesn’t do anything extremely well. He’s a solid pick.

136. RLB/DE Koa Misi (Utah) 63

1/27/10: Believe it or not, Misi played defensive end at Utah. You wouldn’t know it from looking at him play linebacker this week in Mobile. He has shown great fluidity in pass coverage and looked like a natural linebacker. He’s also making a lot of nice hits. That definitely helps his stock as he doesn’t have the size to play in the trenches in the NFL.

He’s an undersized defensive end with a strong motor to make up for it, but he looked like a natural outside linebacker playing that position in the Senior Bowl. He’s a risk because he has to play rush linebacker, a position he didn’t play in college, but I love his motor and I think he could be a solid rush linebacker in the future.

137. TE Garrett Graham (Wisconsin) 63

2/25/10: He’s still on the small side but weighing in at 243 is a lot better than the 234 he weighed in at the combine.

1/30/10: He had a few nice catches, including a touchdown that got wiped away by a penalty, but overall it was a bad week for him. First he weighed in at 234 pounds and then showed himself to be small on the field by not being able to block anything. He is the worst run blocker of any tight end that played in this game and I’m not sure he has a position at the next level. 

1/26/10: Very skinny for his position. 

At 6-4 238 its clear he needs to bulk up a little before he can be a legitimate NFL tight end, but he has very refined fundamentals for his size. He would be a perfect fit, assuming he bulks up, to be the receiving tight end in a west coast offense. He reminds me a lot of Travis Beckum, the former Wisconsin tight end who was drafted in the late 3^rd round last year despite being undersized at 6-3 239. Graham could be looking at the same range if not a little lower because he didn’t quite as productive of a year as Beckum, mostly because he played in Beckum’s shadow most of the time.

 

 

 

138. OT Selvish Capers (West Virginia) 63         

2/25/10: He did a good job putting on more bulk, going from 294 at the end of the season to 303 at his Senior Bowl to 308 now, but after benching 225 pounds a mere 19 times, questions about his ability to be a dominant physical tackle in the draft are still there. He also looked bad in the Senior Bowl game so his stock appears to be dropping pretty fast right now.

1/30/10: As bad as Ed Wang was, Capers might have actually been worse. He couldn’t block anything. Once the defender took out his hands, he couldn’t do anything. He let Koa Misi run straight past him, as if he didn’t even notice him, on one play that resulted in a Tim Tebow fumble. He has great athleticism at 6-5 304 with long arms and a 4.9 40, but he’s not a starting caliber offensive tackle at the next level. He seems destined to be a Raider.

1/26/10: Listed at 290 so weighing in at 304 helps. Long arms also suggest there is room to bulk.

Al Davis could fall in love with Capers and draft him in the 2^nd round. He’s 6-6 290, but is projected to run a low 4.9 40. Though that doesn’t actually mean much for a tackle, it does show his athleticism. He’s very raw, but if he puts on 10 pounds, he’d be a great fit for a zone blocking scheme. He has experience in West Virginia’s run heavy offense so if he bulks up enough, he could be a solid run blocker in the NFL, in addition to being good against speed rushers. He could be a nice swing tackle, capable of playing both left and right tackle, in a zone blocking scheme.

139. C Matt Tennant (Boston College) 63

Undersized at 285 pounds, but that’s actually okay for the center position. His technique and durability are great and his snaps are flawless. He could get drafted in the early 4^th round because of need for the position. He’s the best pure zone blocking center in the draft class because of his agility and technique.

140. DT Geno Atkins (Georgia) 62                         

3/1/10: On a day of surprisingly fast 40 times for defensive tackles, it would take a lot to get noticed. A 4.75 at 293 pounds with 34 reps on the bench press will do that.

1/30/10: He’s an undersized defensive tackle who hasn’t been good since his sophomore year, but he did make a few nice hustle plays to break up the play in the backfield and actually ran down a running back from behind at one point, something very few defensive tackles can do.

Showed himself as one of the more athletic defensive tackles in the combine and he showed his pass rushing skills as a defensive tackle in the Senior Bowl. He didn’t do much at Georgia over the last two years which is why I am not considering him a 3^rd rounder yet. I wouldn’t do that based on purely his Draft Pre-Season, but he did have 7 sacks as a sophomore in 2007. He lacks elite size at 6-1 293 and I don’t think he can play 3-4 end because of his lack of height

141. S TJ Ward (Oregon) 62

A very tough run stopper and a huge hitter, but at his smaller size, I’m not sure how that will translate to the NFL. He struggles in coverage and doesn’t have good coverage speed. He’ll be a solid depth safety at the next level.

142. QB/RB Jarrett Brown (West Virginia) 61       

2/28/10: 40 times don’t matter a ton to quarterbacks, but a 4.54 will get you noticed, especially when you’re someone who may have to play another position at the NFL level. He’s a project, but he has upside at multiple positions including quarterback and running back. 

1/30/10: He didn’t have the best game overall, but he showed a lot of potential and physical tools. He’s an excellent athlete and has a running back’s frame, as shown in his weigh in, but he also showed a very good strong arm in the game. He really struggled with his touch and his footwork is very poor, he missed a wide open guy downfield because his feet weren’t set when he threw it, but overall, I like his upside a lot more now that I did before this week, when I saw him as a wildcat only.

1/26/10: Very athletic frame, measurables suggest a move to running back is possible. That’s good because he wasn’t going to make it as a quarterback in the NFL.

He’s certainly a project, but he has upside at two positions. He has the athleticism to play running back, but he also has a strong arm to play quarterback. His mechanics are an issue and he doesn’t have a lot of experience playing the quarterback position and even last year he struggled at times, but the upside is there.

143. OT Tony Washington (Abilene Christian) 61

Another athletic small school tackle with good long arms and a proven track record of success at a small school level. He looked good at the combine and could take advantage of a weak left tackle class to get himself drafted in the 3^rd.

144. RB James Starks (Buffalo) 61      

2/28/10: He lost his 2009 season due to a shoulder injury, but before that he had two straight season of 1000 yards, 3000 career yards, and 53 catches in 2008. He looked very healthy today running a very impressive 4.48 at 6-2 218. He’s a big back that runs well and can catch passes and reminds me a lot of a Tim Hightower type guy.

He has some questions to answer after his shoulder injury, but he was a very productive back before the injury, with good hands for his size. He reminds me of a Tim Hightower type 3^rd down back.

145. CB Akwasi Owusu-Ansah (IUPUI) 61       

4/9/10: First of all, how did his parents name him, hit random keys on a keyboard (or typewriter, considering his birth date)? Second of all, there’s an Indiana in Pennsylvania? What? All that aside, AOA is a very athletic cornerback with good speed and amazing kick returning ability. His 4.31 40 time, a major improvement over his 4.43 from the Combine, shows more of that amazing speed we were expecting from him. He could get drafted in the 4th on upside and he’s certainly one of the more intriguing small school mid round prospects. He averaged 29.7 yards per return on kick returns last year and 12.5 yards per return on punt returns. He also scored 5 special team touchdowns.

Could be a decent nickel corner with his speed and good hands, but if he’s drafted, it’ll be as a kick returner first and a depth cornerback second. He scored 5 special teams touchdowns last year and ranked among the best in the league in both kick and punt return yards. He had 8 picks in 2008 though, but only 2 last year.

146. QB Sean Canfield (Oregon State) 61

1/30/10: I was expecting him to show himself as a legitimate quarterback prospect in this game, as he has experience in a pro style offense, and I think he has a stronger arm than most quarterbacks in this game, but he didn’t look great in limited action, throwing an end zone pick to Taylor Mays. He did have one nice 31 yard completion to in state rival Ed Dickson, the Oregon tight end, but overall, he was disappointing and I may be rethinking his late 3rd/early 4th round grade. 

All the physical tools, but none of the production in college for the most part. He had one good year as a starter, this year, but he’s very smart, very accurate, and has the frame to become a strong thrower. He reminds me a lot of Trent Edwards coming out of school, a guy who could be drafted based on upside alone despite the fact that he didn’t have the greatest college career. Canfield could be looking at the 3^rd round range as Edwards was, possibly lower because this draft class is better at quarterback than 2007’s.

147. NT Edom Udofia (Stanford) 61

Injuries have plagued him at Stanford, but he’s been a hot commodity since he stepped on campus making the Freshman All-American team in 2006 despite not playing full time. He has a great combination of size and moves and would fit a 3-4 defense perfectly at 320 pounds, but unless he can capitalize on his upside and beat the injuries, he’s nothing more than a reserve nose tackle at the next level. However, with so many teams desperate for nose tackles, but could get drafted a lot earlier than he should.

148. RB LeGarrette Blount (Oregon) 60             

1/30/10: He probably had the most to prove in Mobile this week, after the incident in which he punched an opposing player earlier this season, but he flashes a lot of what made him an NFL prospect in the first place. He ran with great pad level at 245 pounds and also made nice plays in the open field. He scored once on a very nice 14 yard run, on which he leaped through a defender from about the 4 yard line to get into the end zone, and he almost scored again on a play in which he dragged pretty much the entire South’s defense from about the 5 yard to almost the goal line, setting up a 1 yard quarterback sneak on the next play. The character concerns are clearly there, but he is a load to take down in the open field and he moves well and runs with great pad level for someone of his size. He is, at the very least, a goal line back at the next level if he can control himself on and off the field.

Blount is a big back who plays with a low pad level, but after punching an opposing player last season and getting suspended, he certainly has some questions to answer, but I think, at the very least, that he’ll be a solid goal line back, which teams always need.

149. OLB/MLB Kavell Conner (Clemson) 60

A very athletic linebacker who can play multiple positions and, at the very least, can be a solid depth linebacker. I could see him starting as a strong side guy as well.

150. QB Max Hall (BYU) 60

Statistically great with 32 touchdowns to 13 picks this year, but at 6-1 200 he lacks NFL size, and I really didn’t see anything resembling an NFL arm when I watched him this year. He’s smart, but the physical tools aren’t quite there. He’ll be a solid backup. 

 

Go on to 151-175

 

 

1-25 26-50 51-75 76-100 101-125 126-150 151-175 176-200 201-250 251-300

Go back to 76-100

 

101. OLB AJ Edds (Iowa) 70

A big thumping linebacker at 6-4 240, but he can also do some nice finesse things as he had 5 picks this year and looked very comfortable dropping back into coverage when needed, especially for a man of his size. His production, though, was subpar with only 210 tackles in his last 3 years so he’ll be a 3^rd or 4^th round pick as a strong side linebacker.

102. C Erik Olsen (Notre Dame) 70

Notre Dame’s offensive line was horrible this year, but its not Olsen’s fault. He only gave up one sack all year. He’s a versatile interior lineman with the intelligence and technique to play center in the NFL and displayed good chemistry with Jimmy Clausen this year.

103. CB Jerome Murphy (South Florida) 70

A good corner with good size, and long arms, who plays vertically, but his cover skills need some work and he doesn’t have good recovery speed.

104. C/G Maurkice Pouncey (Florida) 69

By far the most versatile guard on here, he has the ability to play both guard positions, and center, which he played last year. He could also play right tackle and he has great athletic upside, though he didn’t quite tap into all of that in his time at Florida.

105. WR Demaryius Thomas (Georgia Tech) 69

Played in a weird offense and doesn’t have great speed, but a 25.1 YPC is nothing to overlook. He’s got good size at 6-3 229, but he’ll have trouble getting separation at the next level. He’s like a running back in the open field and he has good size. He may have a future as a goal line receiver and he’s also a strong run blocker. He did hurt his foot and was unable to work out at the combine and may not have a chance to workout for teams before the draft, which hurts, but he should be good to go for team workouts.

106. QB Colt McCoy (Texas) 69

2/26/10: McCoy measured in at 6-1 at his weigh in. Might as well add that to the list of reasons why he won’t work out in the NFL, no experience in a pro style offense, a weak arm, and now a small frame.

A proven winner with a very weak arm by NFL standards. He’ll fit a spread style offense in the NFL well and to his luck, more and more teams are switching to the spread in the NFL, but he’s still not a good fit for a good majority of the NFL scheme despite his amazing accomplishments in college.

107. RB Montario Hardesty (Tennessee) 68              

2/28/10: Hardesty is a favorite sleeper of mine. He could be that mid round running back who takes over a starting job in the NFL. He has good hands as a pass catcher and as a pass blocker and a good combination of size and speed. He has all the things you look for in a feature back. He just needs to put them together. On a day of slow 40s, a 4.49 at 6-0 225 is great. He also led all running backs in broad jump, 10 feet 4 inches, and vertical leap, 41 inches and had 21 reps of 225 pounds.

One of my favorite running back sleepers, a good size, speed combination, and very good hands, both in pass catching and pass blocking. He has everything he needs to be a factor right away and a 3^rd down back at the very least. I see him having the upside as a future starting running back.

108. NT Linval Joseph (East Carolina) 68           

4/9/10: Joseph was smart enough not to lose very much weight, dropping only to a very fit 319. He still has the size to play nose tackle. However, he was still able to drop his already impressive 5.09 to 4.93. He proved himself to be one of the most agile big men in the country last year and is now clearly my #4 nose tackle. That could sneak him into round 2. 

3/1/10: 40s don’t mean a ton to nose tackles, but a 5.09 at 328 with 39 reps on the bench will get you noticed as a very strong athlete.

Showed very good mobility for a 320 pound tackle with 60 tackles and 2 sacks last year and also showed this speed at the combine. He is your standard mid round nose tackle and he could go as early as the 3^rd because of the need for nose tackles in the NFL and his size.

109. OT Jared Veldheer (Hillsdale) 68          

2/27/10: Did not disappoint athletically running a 5.09 40, for what it matters since he’s an offensive tackle. He is one of the more intriguing small school kids and has really shown his athleticism and skills in workouts and drills this week.

One of the most athletic tackles in this draft class, with a 5.09 40 at 6-8 310. He didn’t have a high level of competition playing for Division II Hillsdale, but he was the most dominant left tackle in all of Division II from the moment he stepped on the field and he never missed a start from week 1 of his freshman year. He’s a very intriguing prospect with good upside. He looked good at the combine and is drawing a few premature comparisons to Jared Gaither.

110. MLB/OLB Joe Pawelek (Baylor) 68

Check out these stats, in his 4 years at Baylor, Pawelek has 423 tackles, 6 sacks, 5 forced fumbles, and 9 picks. He will fit in both a 3-4 and a 4-3 scheme at the next level, but his timed speed will hurt his draft stock.

111. CB Rafael Priest (TCU) 67

4/9/10: Didn’t run because of his foot injury. He’s still a favorite sleeper of mine, but I was expecting his foot to be healed by now.

He did an excellent job as a shutdown #1 corner for TCU. He played in 11 games and had 6 pass deflections, but only had 18 tackles. There are two ways you could possibly explain how he played that many games and had that few tackles, one, he let every receiver he guarded go for a touchdown, or two, quarterbacks rarely completed passes on him. Two is the most logical answer and it is the correct one. He didn’t have the toughest competition, but he shutdown everyone he faced. There are some concerns, how will he adjust to more athletic NFL corners, especially since Priest’s athleticism doesn’t jump off the page. He’s also small and not good against the run, but you can definitely see the upside here. He reminds me a lot of Quincy Butler, a former TCU cornerback, now of the St. Louis Rams. In his first season in the NFL, after bouncing around practice squads for years, Butler was a very good shutdown corner for the Rams this year, though in limited playing time, as opposing quarterbacks went 11 for 25 for 145 yards and a touchdown against him this year.

112. G Jon Asamoah (Illinois) 67

The best pure zone guard in this draft class, and he has the versatility to play both guard slots. He moves well for his size, but isn’t overpowering. He could run the fastest 40 of all guard prospects which means he could be a Raider next year.

 

 

 

113. QB Bill Stull (Pittsburgh) 66

He’s a statistical one year wonder, with a 65% completion percentage, a 8.2 YPA, and 21 touchdowns to 8 picks this year, all out of a pro style offense. If he can continue what he showed this year in the pros, and not what he did last year when he struggled badly, he could be a legit NFL signal caller.

114. WR Andre Roberts (Citadel) 66         

1/27/10: Another small school kid showing that he can play with the big boys, he may only be 5-11 180, but he’s showing excellent hustle and discipline (going to Citadel a military academy esque school will do that for yoy), but also amazing route running abilities. He doesn’t have elite NFL athleticism, but he’s looking like a mini Wes Welker this week.

A small school receiver who held his own against the big school kids at the Senior Bowl. He’s got very solid hands and, at the very least, he’ll be a solid slot guy. He’s drawing premature comparisons to Wes Welker because of his hands and his ability to contribute as a kick returner.

115. DE/RLB Austin Lane (Murray State) 66

1/27/10: First he showed up looking great at his weigh in, weighing in at 265 pounds at 6-6, adding a necessary 8-10 pounds to his frame, and to back that up, he’s looked great ob the field in practice showing that this small school kid can hang with the big boys. He has the athleticism to play rush linebacker in addition to defensive end.

The level of competition is an issue for him, but he certainly looks the part of an NFL pass rusher. He has a good refined repertoire of passing moves, but he lacks elite size and doesn’t have very fluid hips. It’ll be interesting to see whether or not he projects as a rush linebacker at the next level because he’s a little small for the trenches in the NFL.  

116. MLB Micah Johnson (Kentucky) 66              

3/1/10: He hurt his knee late last season, but chose to run the 40, which appears to be a mistake after he ran a 4.99. He can make that up with his Pro Day, but questions about the health of that knee are going to be there, which hurts him a lot because he’s a mid round prospect and, as a mid round prospect, you’re one flaw away from going in the 6^th or 7^th or even undrafted. For what it’s worth, 31 reps on the bench press showed his strength and what kind of player he can be when healthy.

He could have gone in the 2^nd round, because of his size, 6-2 258, experience in a 3-4 at Kentucky, and the fact that he was coming off of an amazing season for a 3-4 middle linebacker with 105 tackles and a sack, but then he got hurt in his bowl game and may miss both the combine and his pro day. How teams view his injured knee could determine if he gets drafted in the 2^nd or 3^rd round or the 4^thor 5^th. He’s a prototypical 3-4 middle linebacker, but his agility and timed speed aren’t good, projected 4.74-4.78 40, so I’m not sure what other positions he’ll be able to play or if he’ll fit a 4-3 at all.

117. RLB/DE Willie Young (NC State) 66

He had eight sacks this season and has good long arms and athleticism, but at his size, 250 pounds, he’s probably only a nickel rusher in 4-3 systems, so he’ll have to try to convert to rush linebacker and I’m not yet convinced he can. He’s poor against the run, even for his size and his 40 time (4.68-4.72) isn’t going to blow anyone out of the water. 

118. TE Andrew Quarless (Penn State) 66

He is a former #1 recruit for Penn State and has amazing athleticism and great measurables, 6-5 260 high 4.6 40, so he has the potential to be a 1^st round pick tight end. However, his career at Penn State was not exactly ideal, in fact quite the opposite. Arrests, probation, suspension, you name it, he had issues with it. He finally stayed out of trouble and on the field for one season, his senior season, and was able to put together a decent season with 41 catches for 536 yards and 3 touchdowns, but it may have been a case of too little too late. He’s looking at the 5^th round range, but I think he’s a 4^th round prospect because of his upside if he continues to improve his game and stay out of trouble.

119.WR Jacoby Ford (Clemson) 65             

2/28/10: Ford currently holds the record for fastest 40 time at the 2010 combine by running a blazing 4.28. He didn’t produce much on the field last year, but speed thrills. He should be a solid slot receiver, who can help on special teams, at the next level.

A speed demon with a 4.28 40, but I have a few concerns about his abilities to be an elite receiver at the next level. He doesn’t run great route or have great hands or do anything that receivers are supposed to do very well, except, of course run. He would be a 6^th round prospect if he ran a 4.4 so I have some concerns about him being ranked 3 rounds higher just because he was .12 seconds faster than 4.4

120. CB/S Chris Cook (Virginia) 65              

3/2/10: He has free safety size, but he’s looked like a natural corner in this draft preseason, impressing as a big corner in the Senior Bowl and during Senior Bowl practices. A 4.43 40 surprised me a ton at 6-2 212 and is just the cherry on top for a guy who is quietly moving himself up very quickly. He could be a 3^rd rounder.

1/30/10: I was confused about why he was invited to this game, but he proved me wrong making some nice plays and being a very tough physical cover guy. He’s still a tweener, not fluid enough to play cornerback, but not quite big enough at 6-1 210 to be a free safety, but I can see him getting drafted in the late rounds.

He’s a bit of a tweener as a free safety and a cornerback, too small for safety, not fluid enough to play safety, but he has good upside at two positions.

121. G Mitch Petrus (Arkansas) 65               

2/25/10: He benched 225 pounds 45 times. That doesn’t equate to football success necessarily, but it certainly helps. 

He’s been suspended before for academic reasons, but he’s also the same monster blocker that was getting National hype as a sophomore blocking for Felix Jones and Darren McFadden. If scouts can look past his character issues and his weaknesses against the pass, he’ll be drafted in the 4^th round as a right guard.

122. MLB/OLB Jamar Chaney (Mississippi State) 64                 

3/1/10: He’s got 3-4 middle linebacker size at 242 pounds, but after running a 4.51, he’s also got 4-3 outside linebacker speed. He can really play anywhere as a linebacker in either scheme, 3-4 middle, 4-3 middle, and 4-3 outside. He also had a 39 inch vertical and a 26 reps on the bench, putting together one of the most impressive athletic displays of the day.

A very fundamentally sound linebacker who can play anywhere in a 4-3, as well as in the middle in a 3-4. He also looked extremely athletic at his Combine. He should, at the very least, be a good depth linebacker with versatility.

123. WR Dorin Dickerson (Pittsburgh) 64

2/27/10: The biggest question Dickerson has to answer is what is his position. He can produce on the field, but he’s played everything from fullback to linebacker to tight end (where he was an All-American) to wide receiver. After measuring in at 226 pounds he proved too small for the first 3 positions, but after running a 4.40 40 with 34 inch arms and benching 225 pounds 24 times, I think he could be a fairly decent wide receiver in the NFL. A 4.40 40 at 6-1 226 with that kind of strength makes him a very interesting wide receiver option for teams in the mid to late rounds.

1/26/10: Does he have a position? He played both tight end and fullback in college, but he doesn’t appear to be anywhere near big enough to play either of those at the NFL level which is a shame because of his production. His 40 time will have to be wide receiver esque for him to get drafted.

He played linebacker, full back, tight end, and wide receiver at Pittsburgh, making the All-American team as a tight end last year. However, at 6-1 226, he doesn’t have the size to play either of the first 3 positions so he would have to be a wide receiver or just a special teamer who doesn’t have a true position. However, at the combine, he ran a 4.40 showing true wide receiver speed. He has good size. He’s a good run blocker. I have some concerns about how he’ll transition full time to wide receiver, but he did run pro style routes as a tight end for Pittsburgh.

124. OT Roger Saffold (Indiana) 64

He showed great athleticism as a left tackle at the combine and was one of the better athletic tackles at Indiana for the last 3 years. In left tackle class that is weak in the 2^nd-3^rd round range, he could go as early as the 2^nd round.

125. S Major Wright (Florida) 64

He’s an amazing athlete, as is everyone at Florida, but the on the field production didn’t match up with that. He has upside, but right now he’s not much more than that.
