DRAFT TRACKER 2012

Stupar started sparingly throughout his career at Penn State but was active and productive when he did get playing time. He emerged as one of the leaders on a strong PSU defense in 2011. Like many PSU linebacker alums, Stupar is a competitive, technically sound player who should be able to contribute in some capacity for an NFL team early on. He will be a strong special teams candidate and could push to make a roster as a backup.

Carder has been a highly effective player ever since his shining performance for TCU in the 2011 Rose Bowl. A high-motor linebacker, Carder might not have the athletic ability to get drafted in the late rounds, but teams will have a tough time letting him go during camp. His competitiveness and toughness should allow him to find a role on a 53-man roster as a backup and special teams standout. Although he hasn't done it much for the Horned Frogs, Carder could be a special teams contributor at the next level for years to come on coverage teams, and is a reliable and consistent performer.

Gray is a thick running back who has been a reliable short-yardage rotational back over the years; a role that seems likely for him in the NFL. He hasn't played much special teams for the Golden Domers, but he will undoubtedly need to be a performer in this role at the next level to stick on a roster. With his size, look for him to not only get goal-line carries, but also be a presence on coverage teams; he has the type of body to play numerous roles on these teams. He was shelved for the final month of his collegiate career due to a knee injury, and will need to show he can recover adequately throughout the pre-draft process.

Bullock was a reliable placekicker for Texas A&M who held down the position ever since claiming it halfway through his freshman year. He was 101 for 101 on extra points in his last two years and is an accomplished kickoff specialist as well.

Wiggs started all four years at Purdue and enjoyed a very successful career as a placekicker. Has NFL leg strength and has routinely hit kicks beyond 50 yards. An impressive athlete with a smooth, consistent approach reminiscent of some of the league's best. Will likely go undrafted but is a solid prospect for a team looking to pick up a kid to compete with a veteran.

Jefferson had an up-and-down career at Louisiana State, where he started every game in his sophomore and junior years after taking over toward the end of his freshman year. After some off-the-field issues prior to his senior year at LSU, Jefferson split time with fellow senior QB Jarrett Lee, and did nothing to overwhelm NFL talent evaluators. He had an uninspired showing in the BCS National Championship game, and although he was limited by the offense he played in that showcased a lot of the talent around him rather than as a throwing QB, Jefferson hasn't shown enough transferable skills at this point to garner a draft pick, but an athlete with his size and SEC experience should get a shot in camp.
