Chase Minnifield
|
Virginia
|
CB
|
Sr. |
6'0 |
187 lbs |
Great work ethic, very mature, NFL bloodlines. Plays smart, knows his assignments, makes good reads, sets a great example. Can play the ball well and can avoid contact when doing so. Might struggle against the faster WRs of the NFL since his backpedal isn't the smoothest and his recovery speed is only decent. Not bad at run support. (2nd round)
|
Whitney Mercilus
|
Illinois
|
DE
|
Jr. |
6'3 |
263 lbs |
Leads the nation in sacks with 14.5, but also has 8 forced fumbles. Much like Ryan Kerrigan last year he's described as not being the greatest athlete, but uses elite effort to produce. Needs to learn some gap control since he sometimes loses that in an effort to get to the QB. Questions about ability to play 3-4 OLB because of lack of athleticism. He's a junior, but he's expected to declare. (2nd round)
|
Brandon Mosley
|
Auburn
|
OT
|
Sr. |
6'5 |
300 lbs |
Big body OT that might be able to a project at that position in the NFL or transition to OG. He's got that mean streak you look for and he's a heck of an athlete. If he were to play OG he'd need a loot of work on pulling since he's not that great in space. (3rd round) |
Coryell Judie
|
Texas A&M
|
WR |
Sr. |
5'11
|
187 lbs |
An okay cover corner with great ball skills and excels with the football in his hands. He'll return kicks for someone in the NFL and perhaps develop into a decent CB as well. (3rd round)
|
Casey Hayward
|
Vanderbilt
|
CB
|
Sr. |
5'11 |
185 lbs |
Perhaps a poor man's Asante Samuel. He's not going to wow people with Darrelle Revis type man-to-man skills, but can play zone and plays the ball well. Good at tracking the ball and jumping routes. Can hold on to interceptions. (3rd Round)
|
Cam Johnson
|
Virginia
|
DE
|
Sr. |
6'3 |
273 lbs |
Prototypical build for a 4-3 DE, but has experience playing OLB in Virgina's old 3-4 defense. His first few steps in the pass rush are impressive. He's quick and hits with power, gets good leverage quickly and can knock blockers back. Needs to get to the QB quick though, because he struggles to adjust to a moving target. (3rd round) |
Tony Bergstrom
|
Utah
|
OT |
Sr. |
6'5 |
304 lbs |
Developmental prospect. He plays OT, but better suited for guard. Too easily overpowered at this point and needs to learn to anchor. (3rd round) |
Jeff Fuller
|
Texas A&M |
WR |
Sr. |
6'3 |
217 lbs |
Fuller has more of the height you are looking for in the position, but his football IQ isn't that high and his route running is sub par. Although he can run those go and fade routes like few others can. He's strong catching the bad and has good body control. He's not a burner, but his long strides can take him places. He has an arrest from 2010 on his record for consumption of alcohol by a minor. (4th round) |
Jeff Allen
|
Illinois
|
OG
|
Sr. |
6'4 |
306 lbs |
A little chunky even for an offensive lineman. Will need to get in the weight room and tighten up. Has been playing tackle, but that's not going to flying the pros. His ability to seal off will work better as a guard. (4th round) |
Tavon Wilson
|
Illinois
|
S
|
Sr. |
6'0 |
203 lbs |
Versatile safety prospect with experience at CB and free safety. Plays will good physicality and is comfortable close to the line of scrimmage. Not all that ranging and would struggle playing bump and run at times. Long arms come in handy. (Mid rounds)
|
A.J. Jenkins
|
Illinois
|
WR
|
Sr. |
6'0' |
182 lbs |
Not tall, but not short, but certainly a little small even for his size. Slender, if you will. Can work the underneath zones, but doesn't show much as a deep threat. Needs some work on route running. Good hands, including when he gets extension. (Mid rounds) |
Tony Dye
|
UCLA
|
S
|
Sr. |
5'10 |
208 lbs
|
Good athlete with ability to move well as a safety. Transitions look good and he's got closing burst. Hasn't been much of a play maker in his time at UCLA. A little small, but nothing to be too worried about. Okay speed. Above average in man coverage for a safety. (Mid to late rounds)
|
Alex Hoffman
|
Cincinnati
|
OT
|
Sr. |
6'5 |
295 lbs |
Already labeled a finesse blocker, which probably takes him off more than a few teams' boards. He shows some good technique and great effort, but the power and ability to sustain blocks isn't there. Somewhat inconsistent. (Mid to late rounds) |
Conroy Black
|
Utah
|
CB
|
Sr. |
5'11 |
185 lbs |
Looks okay in man coverage where he can use his track speed. Long arms are helpful, but he could learn to use them better. This is a little like his ex-teammate Brandon Burton who was a decent prospect, but hasn't made an impact in the NFL. He's a project, but one with good tools. (Mid to late rounds) |

Ryan Tannehill
|
Texas A&M
|
QB
|
Jr. |
6'4 |
222 lbs |
Athletic QB that stepped in and won games last year after their starter struggled, which showed good leadership. Skills are raw. (2nd round) |
Isaiah Pead
|
Cincinnati
|
RB
|
Sr. |
5'10
|
202 lbs |
A back that can break some tackles, but doesn't have that home run speed. Has had to work hard this year since offensive line is decidedly below average. Physical style that could expose him to big hits. Doesn't necessarily keep a wide base when taking on tacklers, so there's questions about whether his style would transition well. Not shifty at all. Decent on third downs in the passing game, but a little bit of a liability in pass pro. (5th round) |
Cyrus Gray
|
RB
|
CB |
Sr. |
5'10 |
202 lbs |
Missed final regular season game with stress fracture in his shoulder, so may miss this one. High character, durable RB who could be a decent scat back in the NFL. Has kick return experience. Lots of catches out of the backfield. Not going to be hurting people by running up the middle. (4th round) |
