PLAYER ANALYSIS
Washington had his most impressive season as a collegiate football player in his first year as a starter for TCU. Washington lead the Horned frogs with 109 tackles and was clearly the most disruptive defender on the No. 1 defense in 2009. Washington has good height and athleticism for the position but lacks bulk when projecting him at the next level. He has gained 20 pounds over the past year and has a frame to carry additional weight moving forward in the NFL. He is an instinctive player that leverages the ball well and understands angles and run fits in the TCU defensive scheme. Washington is a solid open field tackler and the added bulk has helped his physical presence as a linebacker. He has good range in pursuit and has good lateral quickness and agility to be an effective coverage defender. Washington is a good football player that has been an excellent special teams contributor. He has improved his draft status dramatically by having an outstanding senior season.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Pender was a productive three-year starter for the Boilermakers. He is a tall, lean cornerback who lacks great speed in coverage. He is a good athlete (foot quickness, agility and balance) who can be effective in combination zone coverages but would be a liability on an island in pure man coverage. He is a willing run-support defender but lacks power on contact. He is inconsistent to keep his pads over his feet as an open-field tackler. Pender doesn't track the ball well and has suspect ball skills. He can flip his hips and shows decent range and closing burst in coverage. Pender has talent to contribute in sub packages as a nickel back and as a core special teams player.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Reed will need work on is route running skills as he played out of a spread offense in Utah and is not accustomed to running precise routes. He had an excellent week of practices at the East-West game and showed that he can be precise in his routes and sink his hips to get in and out of his breaks with a good burst. He is a natural receiver that has a wide receiving radius and can adjust to off-target throws. He needs to add bulk and strength for the next level but has shown enough to make you think he could contribute as a No. 3 receiver early on as well as returning punts and kickoffs. While he is not a speed burner he does play the game with competitive speed.

Granger has enough size, strength and athleticism to be an NFL defensive lineman when totally healthy. He hasn’t shown much over the past two years as he has been battling injuries (back and foot) which has limited his overall production. Granger flashes the ability to hold the point versus the run as well as penetrate the line of scrimmage when in a stunting mode. He needs to expand his pass rush package to contribute in this area but has raw talent to build on. Granger will likely never be a consistent starter in the league but could develop into a solid backup if consistency, health and character issues are squared away.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Epps was an on-and-off starter for pretty much his whole career at Miami, and while he has shown some consistency and play-making skills, he really does nothing that jumps off the screen at you. He is fairly athletic and can adjust to off-target throws to make difficult catches, but he also will drop some easy ones, as well. He lacks the speed and acceleration to be much of a threat down the seams. He is a more-than-willing blocker but lacks the size to be more than a finesse blocker who just gets the job done. He should compete for a backup position but lacks the tools to be a front-line player at the next level.

Watson was the Seminoles most disruptive defender in 2009 with 13 tackles for loss and 6.5 sacks. He needs added weight and strength but shows pop and power when tackling. He is a versatile athlete that has played inside and outside linebacker. Watson reacts well and understands how to maintain leverage on the edge. Watson is best attacking the line of scrimmage and needs technique work and may be a bit of a liability in pure man coverage schemes. Watson is a good football player that will provide depth at linebacker as well as excellent special team’s contributor.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Thomas has rare measurables for the wide receiver position and will be a very attractive gamble for some team after the first round. He shows excellent vertical speed, especially for someone his size, and can be intimidating to a cornerback when isolated on the perimeter. He has the size of a tight end with the speed, agility and ball skills of a wide receiver. He needs a lot of work on his route running skills as he tends to round off his breaks and will telegraph his routes with too much upper body movement. He can make acrobatic type catches but will drop some very catchable passes due to lapses in concentration. He is not a very physical blocker on the edge in spite of his massive size advantage. In a recent workout, Thomas broke his foot and will be unable to participate in combine drills.

Pitta is an older senior in that he has five years of football at BYU plus a two year mission which will put him at 25 during his rookie season. He is more of a receiving tight end than a blocking or dual purpose one and will need some time to get used to lining up in a three point stance as BYU generally flexes their tight ends out in a two point stance. He is not real explosive on his release and will need some work on escaping the press at the next level.

Rogan has been an excellent player for the Vols over the past two seasons. He is a good athlete but doesn't always keep proper body positioning to maintain leverage. He is a competitive athlete who plays aggressively to the ball and is a physical defender for his size. He shows natural instincts to attack the ball at proper angles to make plays in the open field. He is a solid run-support defender and is a good open-field tackler. Rogan is a solid football player who isn't elite as a pass defender but has enough athleticism, instincts and toughness to contribute in sub packages and as a core special-teams defender.

Morgan has been an extremely productive starter for the Yellow Jackets over the past two seasons. He has a good combination of size and athleticism for a 4-3 defensive end. He doesn’t appear to have the overall athleticism to project him as an outside backer in a 3-4 scheme. Morgan has improved his overall hand use and counter moves as a pass rusher with good quickness to close to the quarterback. He needs to improve his pad level and power at the point as a run defender but gives consistent effort in this phase of the game. Morgan is an excellent football player that should test out well for his dimensions and likely be highly touted in the 2010 draft.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
McCourty is an average sized cornerback with good athleticism. He runs well but doesn’t have premier speed out on and island. McCourty is a tough, competitive player that understands angles and route progressions. He is an active secondary defender that gets his hands on lots of balls but doesn’t always make the interception. McCourty has great hips, agility and balance to turn and stay in the receiver’s hip pocket. He does get overpowered at times versus larger receivers in block protection and on jump ball situations but he appears to know his limitations and is a defender. McCourty is a good football player that will likely contribute quickly at nickel back and special teams (returns as well as coverage units) in his rookie season.

Ross was a productive two-year starter for the Arizona defense. He was the most active defender for the Wildcats in 2009. He has average height but is an excellent athlete with good speed and quickness for the position. He is a willing run-support player but lacks great pop and power on contact on the perimeter. He will struggle at times to ward off and shed blockers but is an aggressive player to pursue the football. He has the athleticism to be an effective man and zone coverage defender at the next level. He has good hips and can turn and run to stay with receivers in and out of their break points. Ross has the talent to contribute in the secondary as well as on special teams in his rookie season.

Davis is a projection from defensive end to the outside backer position. All indications are that he would fit well in a 3-4 defensive scheme utilizing his pass rush ability most often. Davis has a powerful initial jolt and uses his hands well to control and leverage defenders. He can be stout verse the run as well as showing versatility pressuring the quarterback off the edge. He would be somewhat of a liability in man coverage but has enough athleticism to be effective in short zone schemes. Davis has the mentality, size and toughness to be a solid special team’s contributor.

Undersized for the running back position and may end up being a wide receiver or return specialist at the next level. McCluster got a lot of all purpose yardage as a combination running back/receiver in Mississippi’s offense. He has had ball security issues over the years and needs to prove he can avoid turnovers if he wants to prove a player his size can contribute. He has the speed to turn a short dump off pass into a long touchdown with just a single missed tackle. While he is a bit of a luxury item, some team is apt to take a chance that he can contribute in situations.

Bryant is an extremely talented receiver that has legitimate downfield speed as well as the ability to adjust to off-target throws. He missed the final 10 games of 2009 for lying to an NCAA investigator and his ability to control and handle the off-field issues that could come up have to be in question. He is extremely competitive to the ball when he is the target but sometimes shows a lackadaisical attitude when on the back side of plays or when asked to block. He needs to be more precise on his route running and not round off his breaks on the hard cuts. He could easily be the first receiver taken off the board if he can impress the personnel people in interviews.

Briscoe is a talented receiver that has been plagued with inconsistencies. He builds to speed more than being explosive or instant but does show a gear to pull away once he gets even with defenders and can run down some deep balls. He is not as physical or aggressive to the ball when in a crowd as you’d expect for someone with his size. If he can mature both physically as well as emotionally he has a chance to become a quality second receiver.

Franks has been an outstanding secondary defender for the Sooners over the past two seasons after redshirting in 2006 and playing in sub packages in 2007. Franks has an excellent combination of size, strength and athleticism for the position. He doesn’t attack the run with consistency and should be more physical given his dimensions. Franks is an outspoken, confident defender that will challenge receivers at the line of scrimmage. Franks is a natural athlete with the speed, quickness and agility to contribute as a corner as well as having the size to move inside to the safety position. Franks is a better athlete than football player but has the potential to develop into an excellent NFL defender. Franks has excelled as a punt returner and should contribute at the next level in that capacity as well as on coverage units while honing his skills in the secondary.

He is inconsistent to ward off and shed blockers to the pile. He has good instincts but is inconsistent in his pursuit angles and run fits at times. Despite not having great speed, he is solid as a coverage defender. Butler has the size, strength, instincts, toughness and athleticism to contribute on special teams as well adding valuable depth to a club in his rookie season.

Jones is a good small-college receiver who still has some maturing to get through if he wants to play at the next level. He struggled with the qualifying and decision-making process when it came down to choosing colleges, and there have been several questions about his lack of maturity. He was productive both as a receiver and a return specialist in college, and returning kickoffs might be his best shot initially at making a team while he learns how to run routes and works on his ability to separate.

Warren is versatile prospect that has experience at both cornerback and safety. He has a good combination of size and athletic ability but lacks the outstanding speed and burst to play out on an island in pure man coverage schemes. Warren is a physical perimeter defender that reroutes receivers off the line of scrimmage. He is a good reactor as patterns develop and understands leverage in the open field. He will bite on play fakes at times and he doesn’t have the great catch-up speed to get back into proper position. Warren is a good football player that may be best suited as a safety but given his size, instincts and athleticism, could also contribute at the cornerback position.

Brooks is an excellent small-school offensive lineman who made the transition from defensive line to offense and found a lot of success. He was a productive performer for James Madison , starting all 38 games in his final three seasons. He is a good athlete who does a good job of keeping his pad level down and his weight over his feet, but there are times when he can simply be overpowered by big interior linemen. He understands angles and does a good job of using his hands to control and steer opponents but needs to develop more lower body strength if he wants to succeed at the next level.

Dickerson is an athlete that has lined up everywhere from tight end to wide receiver to linebacker to fullback. He has never taken a position and taken it over although he has shown flashes everywhere he lined up. He will probably end up as a fullback/H back that is used in situations and can line up in a variety of positions. He is athletic and catches the ball well but is not going to threaten many secondaries down the middle. He has decent straight line speed as a fullback but lacks a big burst as he hits the hole. He is not apt to be the kind of fullback that you want to be the lead blocker in a power running game.

Worthington was a productive three-year starter for the Buckeyes defense. He has excellent size and strength with average athleticism. He is more of a run-stopper than a pass rusher but does show an effective bull rush off the edge. He has good natural power to anchor and leverages well with a strong initial punch at the line of scrimmage. He understands angles and how to restrict running lanes but doesn't have great range in pursuit. He plays hard and shows toughness in the trenches, but he needs an expanded pass rush packages to contribute more in this phase of the game.

Wilson doesn't have good initial quickness or speed to penetrate gaps and shows little range out of the tackle box.

Mitchell was a productive two-year starter for the Wildcats. He is a short, athletic interior defender who is best when in a stunting mode. His best asset is his initial quickness, which enables him to gain leverage on larger blockers to penetrate the line of scrimmage. He lacks great power to anchor versus double teams but understands angles and plays with good pad level to be effective in most one-on-one situations. He flashes good initial punch, but needs to become more active with his hands to disengage to the ball. Mitchell flashes as a pass rusher but needs to expand his initial moves and counters to be a consistent contributor at the next level. Mitchell is a bit of a project with only two years' experience as a defensive tackle after converting from tight end. He could be a versatile player as an interior lineman in an even front while having added value as a possible lead blocker in short-yardage and goal-line situations.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
While Sanders is a slightly undersized receiver, he is certainly not timid when it comes to going over the middle and will compete for the ball. Unfortunately, his lack of size and strength makes it difficult for him to win many of those battles. He shows excellent acceleration off the line and can stretch the secondary down the seam with his vertical speed. He is confident in his hands and will reach out to pluck the ball. However, he also will drop some when he tries to make a move before securing the catch. He needs work on setting defenders up and can be a bit sloppy in his routes, but there is no reason to think he can't improve in that area. He probably fits the No. 3 or 4 receiver description more than a No. 1 or 2, but he should be able to contribute early on as a return specialist.

Norwood isn’t a powerful hitter but does keep his pads over his feet which make him an efficient tackler. He is an instinctive player that reads quickly as both a run and pass defender. Norwood shows decent range in coverage but may be a liability in pure man schemes. He possesses strong hands to control blockers on contact and his low-center of gravity makes him tough to get off his feet.

Hardy doesn't appear to have enough athleticism or versatility to contribute as a stand up defender but is talented and could be an excellent starter as a 4-3 defensive end. Durability, toughness and consistent effort are concerns.
