(19th Post) Defensive Ends

Here's my top 10 of defensive ends for both 3-4 & 4-3 alignments (** means 3-4 OLB possible) :


1) Robert Quinn - NORTH CAROLINA**

Ht: 6'4" Wt: 265
He routinely defeats offensive tackles by using a combination of speed, quickness and power that is complemented by exceptional leverage. Quinn's ability to bend and burst while maintaining his speed is rare, and he'll be nearly impossible to block when he learns better hand-to-hand combat skills. Although he needs to be a stronger presence against the run, his natural pass-rush skills make him the top defensive end in the draft. -Bucky Brooks

Best Fits: (Redskins, Falcons, Chargers, Packers)

2) Da'Quan Bowers - CLEMSON**

Ht: 6'3" Wt: 280
Bowers was regarded by most teams as the top defensive end prospect until medical concerns and a sub-par workout hurt his status. Bowers can play with power or finesse and shows a knack for getting to the ball. He emerged this season, leading the nation with 15.5 sacks behind an assortment of moves. Even though his motor and hustle could be called into question, his production stands out on tape.  Looming concerns regarding Bowers' knee have plummeted his value. -Bucky Brooks

Best Fits: (Chargers, Packers, Falcons, Browns)

3) JJ Watt - WISCONSIN

Ht: 6'5" Wt: 290
He overwhelms blockers with his strength, and his relentless approach results in a number of disruptive plays. As a run defender, he uses strength and leverage when taking on single and double teams at the point of attack. He fends off blockers well with his hands and finds a way to get in on tackles late. Watt's non-stop motor and superior physical and mental toughness wear down opponents. He's the kind of player whom every defense needs on the line. -Bucky Brooks

Best Fits: (Chargers, Cowboys, Redskins, Packers)

4) Cameron Jordan - CALIFORNIA

Ht: 6'4" Wt: 287
His quickness, athleticism and polished hand skills made him seemingly impossible to block in individual and team drills, and he emerged from the game as one of the top defenders. He flashes a combination of quickness and burst that allows him to beat blockers on slants and stunts, and he is capable of thriving in a one-gap system that places a premium on penetration. Jordan is stout against the run and has the ideal frame to take on double teams at the point of attack. He plays with leverage, and his wide base makes him difficult to move off the ball. -Bucky Brooks

Best Fits: (Chargers, Cowboys, Packers, Falcons)

5) Muhammad Wilkerson - TEMPLE

Ht: 6'4" Wt: 315
Wilkerson is an elite 3-4 defensive end prospect with idea size, excellent shedding ability and the athleticism to pursue from the backside and rush the passer. Jolts offensive lineman at the point of attack, can beat the double team, finds the football and makes plays against the run. Does not have rare first-step quickness but can take a direct line through blockers to pressure the quarterback and has range against the run. Despite size, is a three-down guy who plays with a high effort level for four quarters. -NFL.com

Best Fits: (Chargers, Packers, Cowboys, Saints)

6) Aldon Smith - MISSOURI**

Ht: 6'4" Wt: 263
His freakish athleticism has captivated scouts, but his pass-rush skills are what put him among the top defensive end prospects. His first-step quickness and burst is remarkable and he shows body control turning the corner while pursuing the edge.  As a run defender, he has the quickness to slip into cracks against runs to and away from his side, but he needs to play with better leverage more consistently. -Bucky Brooks

Best Fits: (Chargers, Falcons, Packers, Jaguars) 

7) Adrian Clayborn - IOWA

Ht: 6'3" Wt: 281
Clayborn has the ability to be a very good starting defensive end in a 3-4 or 4-3 front and can play some defensive tackle in passing situations. Smart, instinctual player, especially against the run. Doesn't stay blocked long and can stop the running game right at him. Uses his hands and power to take a direct route to the quarterback. Doesn't possess elite quickness or top-end speed which limits his big-play ability rushing the passer, away from him in the running game, and in space. Clayborn could draw interest from several clubs due to his versatility. -NFL.com

Best Fits: (Falcons, Lions, Jaguars, 49ers)

8) Ryan Kerrigan - PURDUE**

Ht: 6'4" Wt: 267
A relentless rusher with strength and sneaky athleticism, he routinely fills up stat sheets with sacks, forced fumbles and tackles for loss. His awareness and non-stop motor rate near the top of the charts. In fact, you'd be hard-pressed to identify another rusher in the draft who makes a bigger impact for his respective team. Against the run, Kerrigan shows strength and power while holding the point of attack. His superior hand skills allow him to fall in on a number of plays. -Bucky Brooks

Best Fits: (Lions, Eagles, Buccaneers, Jaguars)

9) Cameron Heyward - OHIO ST.

Ht: 6'5" Wt: 294
Heyward is big, versatile defensive end who can play in a 4-3 or a 3-4 at the next level. He is a powerful athlete at the point of attack who can eat up blocks in the running game and uses heavy active hands to shed quickly. He possesses a less-than-ideal burst but is a relentless pass rusher who gets more sacks than he should. His greatest asset is his versatility, as he can control blockers to be effective in a two-gap scheme, but also could have an impact as a traditional defensive end in a 4-3. -NFL.com

Best Fits: (Packers, Chargers, Ravens, Steelers)

10) Justin Houston - GEORGIA**
Ht: 6'3" Wt: 270
Houston is a bit undersized as a traditional 4-3 defensive end but fits the mold of a 3-4 outside linebacker. Gets off the ball quickly, has enough athleticism to get the corner and can also use the bull rush but needs to do a better job after contact and widen his array of moves. Flashes the ability to keep blockers off his body, set the edge, get off blocks, and make plays in pursuit but needs to show more intensity shedding and playing in a phone booth. Has the athleticism to drop into coverage but might struggle in man. -NFL.com

Best Fits: (Falcons, Eagles, Lions, Packers)

(18th Post) Defensive Tackles

Here's my top 10 of big guys in the middle:

1) Marcell Dareus - ALABAMA

Ht: 6'3" Wt: 319
He has shot up draft boards across the league after a sensational showing at the Combine, demonstrating his combination of size, strength, athleticism and savvy. He shows outstanding strength and power holding the point against the run, engaging blockers quickly after the snap; his superior hand skills allow him quickly work free to make plays on the ball. His potential has coaches salivating over the possibilities of utilizing him as a versatile defender in a "30" or "40" front. -Bucky Brooks

Best Fits: (Panthers, Broncos, Packers, Chargers)


2) Nick Fairley - AUBURN

Ht: 6'4" Wt: 292
he game tape suggests that Fairley is arguably the most dominant defender in the draft. He simply takes over games at critical moments, and his ability to disrupt sets the tone for the defense. While his outstanding production stands out on tape, scouts point to his shoddy technique, inconsistent motor and questionable character as the biggest concerns in his evaluation. He takes too many plays off during the course of a game and scouts worry about his ability to consistently play at a high level despite his exceptional talent. -Bucky Brooks

Best Fits: (Broncos, Chargers, 49ers, Titans)

3) Corey Luiget - ILLINOIS

Ht: 6'2" Wt: 298
He is a big, nimble player with an outstanding combination of size, strength and athleticism. Against the run, Liuget flashes the ability to play with force or finesse at the point of attack. He can overpower blockers with his sheer strength, or slip into a crack using his speed and quickness. He uses that same combination of agility and power routinely in the pass rush. He shows good hand skills in one-on-one matchups, and his natural strength helps him collapse the pocket from the middle. -Bucky Brooks

Best Fits: (Saints, 49ers, Cowboys, Texans)

4) Marvin Austin - NORTH CAROLINA

Ht: 6'2" Wt: 309
Austin is a talented interior defender with outstanding strength, power and movement skills. He shows good hand skills engaging blockers after the snap, and his ability to quickly work free is impressive. While he didn't demonstrate that skill consistently in 2009, Austin's solid play at the East-West Shrine Game showcased his hands and escape moves. Austin also flashes rush skills as an interior defender. His first-step quickness and agility make him slippery inside, and he has the strength to burst through gaps when he gains the advantage on blockers. -Bucky Brooks

Best Fits: (Chargers, Chiefs, Saints, Vikings)

5) Phil Taylor - BAYLOR

Ht: 6'3" Wt: 334
He possesses rare movement skills for a big man and his blend of strength and power makes him a natural fit at nose tackle. Against the run, he shows the ability to jack, stack and shed at the point of attack while quickly flowing to the ball. Opponents have a tough time running up the middle when he's on the field. Although Taylor isn't a polished pass rusher, his movement skills and strength allow him to press the pocket up the middle and force quarterbacks from their comfort zone. -Bucky Brooks

Best Fits: (Chargers, Jets, Rams, Dolphins)

6) Stephen Paea - OREGON ST.

Ht: 6'1" Wt: 303
Paea is a powerful run stuffer that plays angry and should contribute immediately at the next level. He is as strong as an ox and consistently knocks lineman back on their heels. He takes on double teams and is near impossible to move out of the hole. He lacks refined pass rushing skills, but has heavy hands and a good burst to eventually become a weapon on third down. He is still learning the finer points of the game, but he has unparalleled toughness and a tireless work ethic. -NFL.com

Best Fits: (Chargers, Ravens, Saints, Steelers)

7) Jurrell Casey - USC

Ht: 6'1" Wt: 300
Casey is not the most impressive player on the hoof, but he has the strength and foot quickness to develop into a disruptive force at the next level. His stocky build and lower body strength make him very difficult to move out of holes, and he uses his quick hands to effectively shed blockers. He is not a refined pass rusher, but he has a relentless motor and will become more effective with improved hand placement and technique. Casey is not athletic enough to be a three-technique at the next level, but he is a great run stopper.

Best Fits: (Saints, Ravens, Dolphins, Texans)



8) Christian Ballard - IOWA

Ht: 6'4" Wt: 283
Ballard's draft stock could depend upon whether teams see him as versatile defensive lineman who could be a strong side end or move inside in a Tampa 2-type, penetrating scheme, or if he's viewed as a raw "tweener" who lacks speed to play end and the strength needed inside. Either way, he possesses a great frame coupled with quickness and agility. Can penetrate with his explosive get-off but doesn't have the pass-rushing arsenal or closing speed to consistently arrive at the quarterback. Displays good range against the run but doesn't shed quick enough. -NFL.com

Best Fits: (Lions, Jaguars, Dolphins, Browns)

9) Jarvis Jenkins - CLEMSON

Ht: 6'4" Wt: 310
Jenkins is an active defensive tackle against the run but isn't a classic nose tackle or two-gaper and doesn’t appear to have the skill set worthy of staying on the field in obvious passing downs. He does a good job of getting off the ball, getting off blockers and making plays in the backfield against the run. Exhibits good awareness in the passing game to sniff out screens and play-passes but have the burst or technique to pressure the quarterback with consistency. Was rested at times and given frequent blows during college career. -NFL.com

Best Fits: (Browns, Bengals, Panthers, Saints)


10) Drake Nevis -LSU
Ht: 6'1 Wt: 294
Nevis has a chance to become an active 3-techinique in a 4-3 defense with his combination of initial burst, toughness and motor. Surprisingly solid at the point of attack and against double teams despite lack of size. Has the quickness to be disruptive but doesn't have the agility or closing burst to always finish. Has some upside as a pass rusher because of his get off but again lack of top-end speed limits his productive and he's not a bull rusher. Constantly moving his hands and doesn't stop working hard until the whistle. -NFL.com

Best Fits: (Saints, Chargers, Packers, Broncos)

(17th Post) Offensive Guards/Centers

These guys are the foundation for any interior line, here's my top 10:


1) Mike Pouncey - FLORIDA

Ht: 6'5" Wt: 303
He brings outstanding versatility to the table with his combination of athleticism, strength and skill. Though his game is built on finesse, he is a sticky blocker who understands how to use help from his teammates to handle massive defensive tackles. He flashes the quickness and body control to work effectively on the second level against linebackers. At center, he shows excellent "snap and lock-on" quickness, and he shouldn't have a problem handling quick-penetrating nose tackles. -Bucky Brooks

Best Fits: (Ravens, Steelers, Packers, Bears)


2) Danny Watkins - BAYLOR

Ht: 6'3" Wt: 310
He has the sheer strength to overwhelm defenders. His dominance on the outside allows scouts to easily project his potential against stout defensive tackles. As a pass protector, he shows adequate quickness and lateral movement skills. He does a decent job of shadowing athletic rushers, but he will have issues against the NFL's elite. His skill set suggests he could easily make the move, but you never know how well he will handle the change until he shows up at mini-camp and training camp workouts. -Bucky Brooks

Best Fits: (Packers, Giants, Patriots, Rams)

3) Clint Boling - GEORGIA

Ht: 6'5" Wt: 308
Boling's a prospect with a lot of starting experience at both guard and tackle who profiles best as an NFL guard. A savvy, maximum-effort guy who could find a home with a franchise that values technique and mobility up front above pure strength. Has great awareness and understands the finer points of line play. Is comfortable when zone blocking or matched up against speed rushers or gap penetrators in pass protection. Isn't going to blow defenders off the ball and stand his ground against the bull rush.

Best Fits: (Packers, Patriots, Ravens, Redskins)

4) Orlando Franklin - MIAMI

Ht: 6'6" Wt: 316
Franklin's got a chance to emerge as a starting right tackle but could also settle in as a guard. Has very impressive measureables. Outstanding run blocker who gets off the ball quickly and is capable of holding up at the point or pulling and getting to the second level. Does a great job locating blitzers, staying home against stunts or helping out when not covered up. Can be tested when asked to mirror quicker pass rushers. Relentless player who wants to finish every block like its his last.

Best Fits: (Cowboys, Steelers, Ravens, Jaguars)

5) William Rackley - LEHIGH

Ht: 6'3" Wt: 309
Rackley's a small-school tackle who projects well as a guard in the NFL. He's above-average in pass protection and as a run blocker and has the mentality necessary to become a starter. Does a good job against power pass rushers but may have some difficulty against defensive linemen with great agility. Fires off the ball, wins the position battle, and is very capable moving to the second level but does not possess the leg drive to move defenders off the ball. Shows average awareness but may need some time to adjust to the complexity of the NFL.

Best Fits: (Giants, Colts, Bears, Steelers)

6) Rodney Hudson - FLORIDA ST.

Ht: 6'2" Wt: 299
He brings an impressive blend of toughness, athleticism and intelligence, which makes him an intriguing prospect as a center or guard. He has demonstrated the ability to make the calls and adjustments at the line, and should not have a problem handling similar responsibilities as a pro. As a blocker, he shows balance, body control and power battling defenders. Though he doesn't create a lot of movement, his tenacity allows him to win downs consistently. He quickly engages rushers and has enough body control to anchor against power. -Bucky Brooks

Best Fits: (Steelers, Jaguars, Ravens, Dolphins)

7) Stefen Wisniewski - PENN ST.

Ht: 6'3" Wt: 313
Wisniewski comes from a football family and has the versatility to be a quality backup at the next level. He has great football intelligence, quickly recognizes stunts and blitzes and is rarely caught out of position. However, he lacks the lower body strength to generate a consistent push in the running game and will not thwart the bull rush in the NFL. He played guard early in his career and can line up at all three interior offensive line positions.

Best Fits: (Patriots, Packers, Giants, Eagles)

8) James Carpenter - ALABAMA

Ht: 6'4" Wt: 321
Carpenter has a chance to end up as a starter and certainly has the ability to provide valuable depth as a backup. Looks the part of an NFL left tackle with his great size and frame. At this stage, Carpenter grades out as a good pass blocker but just adequate in the running game. His game could benefit from some improved awareness in blitz pickup. Would become more valuable as a run blocker with increased strength and power.

Best Fits: (Falcons, Texans, Chargers, Colts)

9) Andrew Jackson - FRESNO ST.

Ht: 6'5" Wt: 299
Jackson has a chance to turn into a starting NFL guard with the addition of some needed bulk and strength. Could serve as a valuable backup in the meantime. Is a tough, hard-nosed player who plays with maximum effort but isn't the type of lineman who can overwhelm opponents. Does a good job when matched up with quicker, gap penetrating defensive tackles but can be overpowered by the bull rush. Uses his quickness to get in position while run blocking and has some upside as a guy who can pull and lead and get to the second level.

Best Fits: (Giants, Patriots, Colts, Packers)

10) Chris Hairston - CLEMSON

 Ht: 6'6" Wt: 326
 Hairston has the natural size, strength and adequate athleticism necessary to develop into a starting right tackle in the NFL. Exhibits the awareness needed at the next level. Uses power to his advantage stalemating the bull rush and engulfing smaller defensive lineman in the running game. Not at his best when asked to block out in the open, getting to the second level, or in the screen game. Has a tough time dealing with upper-level quickness from DL's. Must overcome minor injury history.

Best Fits: (Ravens, Jaguars, Steelers, Bears)

(16th Post) Offensive Tackles

Easily the second most important position on the field, missing on these guys can cost your franchise, so here's my top 10:

1) Tyron Smith - USC

Ht: 6'5" Wt: 307
He has impressive physical dimensions, with outstanding athleticism and movement skills. His strength allows him to create a push in the running game, overpowering defenders at the line of scrimmage. He seals the edge on perimeter runs with force and ranks as one of the position's top run blockers. As a pass blocker, he shows quick feet, balance & body control. He doesn't dance with rushers but shadows initially before stunning them with powerful blows. He easily handled top rushers in his iso-matchups, which suggests he might excel as an NFL left tackle. -Bucky Brooks

Best Fits: (Cowboys, Chargers, Cardinals, Eagles)

2) Anthony Castonzo - BOSTON COLLEGE

Ht: 6'7" Wt: 311
He is a solid technician with outstanding size, strength and skill. He excels in pass protection by quickly engaging rushers after the snap. He shows a strong initial punch and active hands. He flashes quick feet, balance and body control shadowing rushers but occasionally gets overextended and falls off before finishing blocks. As a run blocker, he is powerful at the point of attack and creates push. His aggressiveness stands out on tape and makes him a viable candidate to play on an offensive line built on toughness. -Bucky Brooks

Best Fits: (Patriots, Giants, Chargers, Ravens)


3) Gabe Carimi - WISCONSIN

Ht: 6'7" Wt: 314
He's a physically imposing prospect with an aggressive demeanor who bullies defenders at the point of attack in the running game. He's comfortable playing in a power-based rush attack that features man or zone blocking schemes with his combination of power and tenacity. His strong punch and active hands stop defenders in their tracks, and he finishes as well as anyone. Although he doesn't possess the footwork and lateral movement skills of a prototypical left tackle, he doesn't look out of place, and coaches will certainly give him an opportunity to play on the blind side. -Bucky Brooks

Best Fits: (Chargers, Packers, Giants, Bears)

4) Nate Solder - COLORADO

Ht: 6'8" Wt: 319

He is arguably the most athletic offensive tackle in the draft. He possesses the combination of quickness, athleticism and movement skills. He easily dances with pass rushers, and his nimble feet allow him to maintain balance and body control while engaged. His movement skills shine when he gets to block on pulls or traps in the running game. He quickly gets out of his stance and has the quickness to engage linebackers and defensive backs in space. He struggles to occasionally create push against power players, but he gives relentless effort upon contact and does enough to win the down. -NFL.com

 Best Fits: (Eagles, Dolphins, Raiders, Bears)


5) Derek Sherrod - MISSISSIPPI ST.

Ht: 6'5" Wt: 321

Sherrod currently looks more like a backup but could be a future starting tackle if he can add quite a bit of bulk and strength. A nice blend of length and good feet, he can slide laterally with pass rushers and push them by the launch point but struggles to anchor against the bull rush. Could benefit from improving awareness against pressure looks. Uses positioning and instincts as a run blocker to create running lanes but isn't an effective drive blocker and won't push defenders backwards. Has a solid makeup but doesn't possess a non-stop motor or great aggressiveness. -NFL.com

 Best Fits: (Packers, Vikings, Chargers, Seahawks)

6) Ben Ijalana - VILLANOVA

Ht: 6'4" Wt: 317

Ijalana was a star for Villanova at the FCS level and he has enough talent to make the jump to the NFL. He projects as a guard at the next level and his strength and finishing attitude will make him a powerful drive blocker. He makes good decisions in pass protection and has quick feet and long arms to handle athletic defensive lineman. He plays a bit high and takes too many false steps and these technical flaws will be exposed against better competition. -NFL.com

 Best Fits: (Chargers, Patriots, Giants, Dolphins)


7) Daniel Zeimba - AUBURN

Ht: 6'6" Wt: 317

Ziemba, fresh off a BCS National Championship with Auburn, has a chance to become a solid starting right tackle at the next level. Has a ton of starts on his resume including many against top competition. He possesses excellent size and good mobility for a big man. Despite all his starting experience, he could still benefit from tightening up his technique as both a pass and run blocker. Flashes the foot speed and quickness the teams covet but still needs to do a better job protecting the quarterback and blocking out in space. -NFL.com

 Best Fits: (Packers, Chiefs, Patriots, Redskins)


8) Marcus Cannon - TCU

Ht: 6'5" Wt: 358

Cannon is a big boy with sneaky athleticism that could develop into a starting right tackle at the next level. He shows good initial quickness and can really push around defenders once he gets his hands on them. He moves well enough to mirror defenders in pass protection and shows the ability to pursue moving targets in the second level on run plays. The biggest concern is his inability to consistently recognize blocking assignments and he gets beat far too often on stunts and blitzes. -NFL.com

 Best Fits: (Cowboys, Cardinals, Redskins, Vikings)


9) James Brewer - INDIANA

Ht: 6'6" Wt: 323

Brewer has some redeeming qualities - size and work ethic - but does not possess the movement skills of an NFL offensive lineman. Really struggles versus quick pass rushers and is not a candidate to lead out on the edge or be productive blocking at the second level. Despite size, can be pushed back by defensive lineman with similar size and strength and doesn't get great movement off the ball. He will create some running space by getting into position and walling off defenders and occasionally flashed the ability to pass protect in college. -NFL.com


 Best Fits: (Packers, Rams, Colts, Seahawks)

10) Marcus Gilbert - FLORIDA

Ht: 6'6" Wt: 330

Gilbert has the height, length and athleticism NFL teams are looking for in an offensive tackle. Could become a quality starter with some added power and attitude. Does a really good job in pass protection getting set, engaging with his long arms, riding ends past the launch point, or mirroring inside moves with his feet. Gets out of his stance quickly and can seal and wall off defenders when run blocking but isn't a mauler. Not going to blow defenders off the ball and is susceptible to the bull rush. Awareness is adequate but still improving. -NFL.com

Best Fits: (Texans, Redskins, Giants, Lions)

(15th Post) Wide Receivers

Here's my top Wideouts:

1) AJ Green - GEORGIA

Ht: 6'4" Wt: 211
As one of the most dominant receivers to play in the SEC, he enters the league as a polished product. He has the skills to thrive as a No. 1 receiver in any system, and scouts love his combination of hands, route-running ability and explosiveness. He slips past aggressive defenders at the line and has the athleticism and leaping ability to go get the ball. As a runner, he doesn't posses overwhelming speed, but he is crafty with the ball and has a knack for moving the chains in critical situations. -Bucky Brooks

Best Fits: (Bengals, Browns, Redskins, Rams)


2) Julio Jones - ALABAMA

Ht: 6'3" Wt: 220
He projects as a prototypical lead receiver in a West Coast offense that places a premium on athleticism and running after the catch. While he lacks polish as a route runner, his natural talent allows him to get open against elite corners. He routinely uses his size and strength to overpower defenders at the top of his routes, and he provides the quarterback with a big target over the middle. He also shows a tenacity blocking that will endear him to scouts and coaches. Scouts have cited Jones' inconsistent hands and playing speed as issues. -Bucky Brooks

Best Fits: (Redskins, Bengals, Rams, Falcons)

3) Randall Cobb - KENTUCKY

Ht: 5'10" Wt: 191
Cobb's a 'tweener lacking the size to be a full-time back or the ball skills and deep speed of a pure receiver. However, he could still make plays as a scat back, sub-package slot receiver and as a returner. Plays his best in the biggest moments. Possesses solid vision, enough quickness to get the corner and gain yards after short passes but isn't a true home run threat. Could be an effective third down back with his short area speed and route-running but hands need to be more consistent and he has a ways to go in pass protection. -NFL.com

Best Fits: (Falcons, Bears, Patriots, Cowboys)




4) Titus Young - BOISE ST.

Ht: 5'11" Wt: 171
Young possesses the makeup and run-after-the-catch ability of an NFL slot receiver who could also contribute in the return game. Put a few really impressive statistical seasons on his resume. Has the quickness and speed to get open underneath but route-running is still somewhat or a work in progress. Was not being covered by elite defensive backs on a week-to-week basis. Size is an issue, as more physical defensive backs can out-muscle him, and limits his down-field big-play potential. Has some off-the-field and on-field behavioral issues that must be checked out. -NFL.com

Best Fits: (Packers, Cowboys, Bears, Colts)

5) Torrey Smith - MARYLAND

Ht: 6'1" Wt: 204
He is a speedster who routinely runs past defenders on vertical routes. While he isn't a refined route runner, he is effective on short and intermediate routes due to his running skills. Smith possesses tremendous short-area quickness, and can run away from defenders. He shows natural hands and pass-catching ability. He tracks and adjusts well to errant throws, and is able to come up with the circus catch. He doesn't have a full grasp of the route tree, which could limit his initial impact. If he can continue to show improvement in private workouts, his value on draft boards could rise. -Bucky Brooks

Best Fits: (Redskins, Vikings, Bears, Chargers)


6) Jonathan Baldwin - PITTSBURGH

Ht: 6'4" Wt: 228
His flair for making dramatic catches in a crowd has made him a favorite of scouts and coaches. His size and athleticism make him a potential impact player. As a route runner, he shows good body control & burst getting in and out of his breaks. His height & leaping ability make him a tremendous weapon in the redzone. He comes down with his fair share of jump balls and is a play-maker when focused. His inconsistent production is the biggest hurdle scouts have when projecting his potential. -Bucky Brooks

Best Fits: (Rams, Giants, Seahawks, Chiefs)


7) Greg Little - NORTH CAROLINA

Ht: 6'3" Wt: 220
Little was declared ineligible for the 2010 season, but he took responsibility for his actions and has the talent to be an impact player at the next level. He is a huge receiver with great ball skills that has a knack for making the difficult catch in traffic. He is a long strider that has deceptive speed and fights through tacklers to consistently gain yards after contact. However, he is not fast enough to be a big play threat and he will have to work tirelessly to get back into football shape. -NFL.com

Best Fits: (Giants, Cowboys, Redskins, Jaguars)


8) Leonard Hankerson - MIAMI

Ht: 6'2" Wt: 209
Hankerson steadily improved from his sophomore through senior seasons when he became one of the most productive wideouts in college football. Has the size you like to see and enough speed but is a gradual builder who does not possess quick-twitched athleticism. Idles down at his stem and must rely on getting himself in between the ball and defenders more than gaining separation. Flashes the ability to go up, extend, and get the ball but also suffers from bouts of inconsistency with his hands. Tough kid with good intangibles who isn't afraid to go over the middle. -NFL.com

Best Fits: (Redskins, Chargers, Dolphins, Jaguars)

9) Tandon Doss - INDIANA

Ht: 6'1" Wt: 209
Doss has the size and speed measurables, hands, savvy, and mentality to start as an NFL wide receiver and potentially a go-to guy. Gets open underneath with polished route-running & good quickness. Eats-up cushions in a hurry with elite burst off the line, has the straight-lined speed to get vertical, and the ball skills to track the football. Can make some plays in space and very willing/productive over the middle and can catch the ball in a crowd. Hard-working, mature player who lets his play on the field do his talking. -NFL.com

Best Fits: (Packers, Bears, Rams, Broncos)



10) Edmond Gates - ABILENE CHRISTIAN

 Ht: 6'0 Wt: 192
Gates is a developmental prospect with big-play ability who has some makeup concerns but could become a valuable backup receiver and returner with time and more coaching. However, he's currently very unrefined as a route-runner, lacks some bulk (but is tough), and needs to improve his overall football IQ. At this time, can turn a short pass into an explosive play, but route-running deficiencies and his ability to track the deep ball limit his ability as a vertical threat. Needs to get stronger to beat press coverage and become a better blocker. -NFL.com

Best Fits: (Cardinals, Packers, Vikings, Cowboys)
