PLAYER ANALYSIS
McDaniel is a physically impressive safety prospect who makes a lot of plays roaming the middle in zone coverage and filling against the run. Would be a good fit for a team that likes to walk a safety down into the box for run support or to cut loose on blitzes. Will bring a tough, intimidating, explosive presence to the middle of an NFL defense. Some deficiencies in man coverage and an off-the-field issue are the two main areas of concern. But in a relatively weak safety class, McDaniel should hear his named called in the first few rounds of the draft.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Locke projects as a change-of-pace / third down back who should also bring value on special teams. Does not have the build or power to hold up as a full-time starter but has great quickness, agility, athleticism, awareness and hands. Finds the hole and doesn't leave yards on the field. Decisive and quick to get upfield after picking his spot. A valuable pass-catcher who plucks away from his body, can adjust to a bad throw, and pick up yards after the catch. Technically sound and feisty in pass protection but may struggle against the power rush. Locke carries a mid-round grade.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Lewis is a quick, compact running back who can make defenders miss but may lack the pure size and power to become a full-time starter in the NFL. Probably finds a home as a change-of-pace back but still must develop as a receiver and pass blocker in order to be relied upon on third downs. Shows patience and vision behind the line, senses creases and cutback lanes and can shake tacklers in traffic and in space but needs to do a better job of getting vertical at times. Can break arm tackles and is crafty in a crowd. Day 3 prospect.

Round 4 • Pick 20
PLAYER ANALYSIS
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. Brewer is a likely rookie free agent.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Sheppard has the skill-set necessary to become a solid starting 4-3 outside linebacker in the NFL. Does a good job pursuing and tackling in open space and on the perimeter and can play in zone coverage but doesn't possess elite speed to consistently apply pressure off the edge or matchup in man against dangerous backs or tight ends. Struggles when cornered in a phone booth. Can be neutralized if blockers get good position and their hands on him. Takes some false steps and loses discipline with pursuit angles at times, but does possess solid instincts and awareness. Sheppard could sneak into Day 2.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Ellis is an intriguing prospect who could develop into a complete starting defensive tackle capable of clogging up the middle, making plays in the backfield off penetration, and collapsing the pocket. Has a pretty rare combination of size and explosiveness. Can be disruptive with his power or quickness. Counters and the screen game can be used to beat him at times. Plays with some fire and has a solid motor. Teams will need to further investigate his dismissal from South Carolina.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Acho is a good football player who shines off the field, as he was awarded the 2010 William V. Campbell Trophy for excellence in the classroom and the community. On the field, he is a strong relentless pass rusher who uses his hands to keep blockers at bay. However, he is a bit of tweener at this point, as he does not have the bulk to be stout against the run and lacks the athleticism to play linebacker in a 3-4 defense. Acho will win the interview and could be picked on Day 2 by a team impressed with his intelligence and character.

Round 3 • Pick 18
PLAYER ANALYSIS
After a monster senior season, Brown appears to be a sleeper in this year's draft. He is a bit undersized, but fights off the press effectively and has a knack for getting open in both man and zone coverage. He has adequate speed and a bit of a wiggle to make people miss in the open field. His greatest asset is his competiveness, as he plays angry and willingly sacrifices his body to make catches and is a great run blocker. Overall, Brown's physical attributes are less than ideal, but he is tough football player that could sneak into Day 2.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Green's an undersized, athletic, pass-catching tight end / H-back with big-play potential who doesn't bring much to the table as a blocker. Has good burst off the line and doesn't idle down in and out of his breaks but is susceptible to press coverage and doesn't exhibit great awareness against zone coverage. Possesses outstanding ball skills. Did not make a load of explosive plays in college but has a high ceiling here due to his speed and hands. Shows good effort as a blocker and could improve technique but lacks natural size and strength to excel in this area. Green could sneak into Day 2.

Round 3 • Pick 27
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Dent is an undersized, hard-nosed, productive linebacker but lacks the strength to hold up in the box or the pure speed and athleticism needed to start in the NFL. Likely projects as a backup and special teams coverage guy. Does not find the football quick enough when engaged, has a difficult time shedding, but also doesn't possess the range to provide much value out in space or dropping into coverage. Can get sucked in by play-action and will chase underneath routes giving up deeper responsibilities. Just adequate when pressuring the passer. Despite his physical limitations, Dent's mentality will probably make him a late-round pick.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
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, hardnosed 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.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
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. Hairston should come off the board in the middle rounds of April's draft.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Williams is a highly-productive, hard-working tight end prospect with outstanding character who was one of the key components of Arkansas' dangerous passing attack over the last few seasons. Doesn't possess adequate NFL tight end height but should be able to fit in nicely as an H-Back. Will make a lot of plays finding open spaces against zone coverage but can be neutralized by athletic safeties or linebackers in man coverage. Is a gritty player willing to make tough catches in traffic. Works really hard and is effective in the running game. Williams should expect to be a mid-round selection.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Kerley is a shifty wide receiver that could be a valuable asset as a return man at the next level. He is a very raw route runner, but he has the lateral agility to separate on underneath routes and a knack for making people miss in the open field. He could develop into a solid slot receiver with time. As a return man, he utilizes his strong hands to secure the ball in traffic and quickly hits lanes for positive yardage. Kerley will likely be a mid-to-late round pick due to his play making abilities.

Round 5 • Pick 12
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Thomas has the upside to potentially turn into a starting corner with some improved awareness and overall refinement to his game. At this stage, has the size, coverage skills, and hands to provide quality depth as a backup. Can hold up in man, will press effectively and has the athleticism to stick with and trail receivers. Zone coverage instincts are still developing, but can locate his man and make open field tackles in the flats. Hands are good and can extend away from his body for an interception. Has the right mentality against the run, just needs some more consistency. Thomas is a Day 3 prospect.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Sash brings impressive football intelligence and excellent effort in run support to the table but probably lacks the range and athleticism in coverage to become a full-time starter. However, he'll likely provide excellent depth and contribute on special teams coverage units. Can play the deep half but is a liability in centerfield or when asked to matchup with tight ends or slots in man coverage. Does possess hands when he limits separation and is around the football. Flies to the ball in run support and is a sound tackler. Coachable player who will learn your system quickly. Sash carries a mid-round grade.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Taylor is a hard working kid that has improved every year, but it is unclear if he can play quarterback at the next level. He has a quick release and a strong arm, but he is somewhat erratic as a passer. He also does not show the consistent sound decision making to be an efficient quarterback. His greatest asset is his athleticism and he should be able to contribute immediately as a running back, receiver or return man. A terrific senior season, where he completed nearly 60% of his passes, has helped his draft stock and he could sneak into the third round.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Matthews is a high-energy guy with great hands who will be able to serve as a backup 4-3 strongside defensive end. His ceiling is limited due to lack of power to be productive against the run and explosiveness to rush the quarterback. Uses his hands extremely well against the run and pass to keep blockers off his body and to disengage and uses the swim move to counter. Susceptible to being blown off the ball by the double-team or walled off by physical run blockers. Not overly comfortable in coverage or out in space. Still, Matthews' motor will land him in the middle rounds.

Love is an experienced offensive lineman with great size and a lot of starts under his belt at a variety of spots up front. Can be a road-grading, in-line run blocker who can blow defenders off the ball, but must improve his awareness while playing in space. In pass protection, he can have a tough time with speed rushers but does a nice job dealing with blitzers and creative defensive line play. A versatile prospect with plus size and good intangibles, Love could be selected as high as the second round in April.

Hagg has the size, speed and instincts in coverage to contribute immediately as a sub-package reserve could become a starter in time. Can play man against tight ends and slots, shows good awareness in underneath zone, very capable of covering the deep half and flashes the ability to play in deep cover one. However, doesn't make enough plays when in position and around the football. Can be drawn down by the play-fake and can be a tick slow diagnosing and reacting to the run. Durable, productive and reliable in coverage.

Foster projects as a future starting 3-4 inside linebacker or SAM 'backer in a 4-3. Will immediately provide excellent depth and contribute on special teams. Nice combination of size and speed. Shows impressive awareness and instincts reading run, staying in position against misdirection, and in coverage. Has good range against the run, is athletic enough to hold up in man coverage, and is a sure, reliable tackler. However, doesn't have sideline-to-sideline ability, struggles at times shedding blocks, and doesn't bring much production as a pass rusher. Foster is a low-risk prospect who could help out a team as a rookie and should be selected on Day 2.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Irving has shown tremendous fortitude and determination recovering from a devastating car crash that cost him his 2009 season, and he has the tools to compete for a starting job at the next level. He is a bit undersized, but runs well to make plays outside of the tackle box. He has very good instincts and is rarely out of position, but he can get overwhelmed by bigger blockers in a phone booth situation. In the passing game, he plays with good discipline and flashes the burst to jump underneath routes and put pressure on the quarterback when blitzing. Irving will likely be a third or fourth round choice.

Paul has the physical tools and mentality to become a valuable backup wide receiver and special teams player in the NFL. Has very good hands and makes some impressive grabs but route-running and separation skills are far behind his ball skills. Getting open on a more consistent basis would really help to complete his game. Can make some plays down the field vertically and in open space after the catch but won't really scare defenses as a true homerun threat. Tough player who has returned kicks, works hard when blocking, and will go over the middle. Paul's a mid-round prospect.

Sands is a well-rounded safety prospect with rare size, good speed, and a physical mentality and could become an excellent starter in the NFL. Can erase the deep half and hold up in centerfield. Makes a lot of plays on the ball with his range, large frame and good hands. On-field awareness is solid but still developing. Tough player who fills quickly in run support, will take on blockers, and supplies an intimidating presence over the middle in coverage. Main flaw is a lack of short-area quickness and fluidity in man coverage. Sands could hear his name called early on Day 2.

Vereen emerged from Jahvid Best's shadow to have breakout season in 2010 and he could be an effective weapon on third down at the next level. Vereen lacks the size and speed to be an every down back, but he is terrific pass catcher out of the back field that will keep the chains moving. He has very good vision and could be very effective in a zone blocking scheme. He also has the hands and enough lateral agility to contribute as a returner.

Carter's has some abilities that can't be coached but still has flaws in his game that need work before he can be considered a complete, everydown NFL running back. Has tremendous lateral quickness and really explodes out of his cuts but does not have the deep speed to go all the way after breaking through the box. Is very shifty in tight spaces but would benefit from relying on his powerful, low-to-the-ground build more often and do a more consistent job of getting his shoulders squared and running downhill. Pass catching needs a lot of work but he's solid in pass protection. Carter looks like a mid-round prospect.

McPhee brings a hard-working, run-stopping presence and can fit in both the 4-3 or 3-4 defensive fronts. Holds his ground but can struggle to get off blocks. When he disengages, makes plays at him and in pursuit on the backside. Can get to the quarterback with a no-nonsense, straight-lined bull rush approach, but isn't going to beat NFL offensive tackles with speed and burst. Durable, tough and relentless but limited by his lack of explosive athleticism. McPhee could become a starter during his career and likely comes off the board in the mid rounds.

Lockette is a long way from contributing in the passing game at the next level, but he is a fierce competitor that could contribute on special teams. He has great size, reliable hands and a knack for getting open on underneath routes in zone coverage. Although he has good deep speed, he is a builder who lacks explosion off the line of scrimmage limiting his ability to separate in man. He also runs sloppy routes and does not show good balance out of his breaks. Lockette has a great attitude and potential which makes him a late round option.

He is a bit undersized and can struggle in run support, but he is a tough competitor who has a relentless motor.

He is a smooth athlete that makes plays in space and flashes the ability to mirror tight ends and running backs in man coverage. However, he lacks the strength and shedding ability to be a run stopper at the next level and can be a non-factor on running plays directed at him.

Displays outstanding effort and is fearless on the field but is always fighting to overcome his lack of size and strength. Flies around the field, whether pursuing the ball-carrier, rushing the passer, or dropping into coverage, but doesn't possess ideal speed or athleticism for a Tampa-2 'backer.

Moffitt was an integral part of a dominant offensive line for the Badgers in 2010. He looks the part of an NFL guard with a great frame and a thick lower half. He displays very good football intelligence and understands blocking schemes. However, he lacks the strength and overall athleticism to be effective at the next level against faster and stronger athletes. He loses leverage off the line and struggles to generate a good push at the point of attack. Moffitt also lacks a killer instinct and sometimes looks defeated on film in tough games.

Cameron is a very raw prospect with a lot of upside potential. Will attract teams with his outstanding combination of height, speed and hands but overall awareness, blocking, and tenacity are not adequate. Is a threat to get vertical up the seam and can rise up for the tough catch but needs a lot of development as a route-runner on short-to-intermediate patterns and while locating soft spots in the zones. At this time, profiles strictly as a flex-out tight end or H-back. Does not show the strength or power to provide value as an in-line blocker. Cameron's a boom-or-bust late-round prospect.

Very nice combination of length, speed and size that can hold up against the power running game, chase down plays across the field, rush the passer and play some in coverage. Main drawback is his lack or pure linebacker instincts. Susceptible to misdirection and run-action. You'd like to see him diagnose a bit quicker and get his physical tools in motion sooner.

Susceptible to press coverage and doesn't win many 50/50 battles due to lack of strength but is still a highly competitive guy willing to take punishment over the middle and has very good hands.

Powell had a breakout season in 2010, and he has vision to excel in a zone blocking scheme at the next level. He possesses a knack for finding a seam and can accelerate on a dime to find daylight. He is very elusive in the open field, as he can idle down and then explode past a defender. He does not have the strength to run over people in the NFL, but he keeps his legs churning and usually falls forward after contact. Powell is a very good one-cut and go back and could be a middle round pick.

Clay was an ultra productive pass catching fullback in Tulsa's spread offense. He is a powerful runner that gets the difficult yards between the tackles and consistently finds running lanes due to good vision. He frequently lined up at tight end at Tulsa and was a difficult matchup for defensive backs. However, he is a bit of a man without a position, as he does not have the blocking skills to lead a heavy running attack or the refined receiving skills to be a tight end. Overall, Clay has enough athleticism to make an NFL roster and should be a middle round draft pick.

Has the athleticism and speed to shadow in man coverage and the hip fluidity to turn and run but lack of route anticipation allows receivers to gain separation. Has the range to play the deep half or middle in zone but can be sucked in by play-action. Really needs to improve his ability to diagnose run and be productive coming up in support. Culliver's a mid-round talent with higher upside.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Brown is a well built cornerback with great speed, but he is a liability in run support. He can run with anybody on vertical routes and quickly closes when the ball is in the air. However, he lacks the hip fluidity to mirror shiftier wide receivers and he will not be a lock down corner at the next level. He misses a lot of tackles by diving at ball carriers and is pushed around by wide receivers and loses contain too often in run support. Brown's top end speed is alluring, but his limitations as a tackler make him a later round pick.
