PROSPECT ANALYSIS
A cornerback with the build of a starting outside receiver (and the athleticism to have been a late-round MLB draft pick as an outfielder) will certainly generate interest among NFL scouts. As expected given his size, Commings can be physical and bully wide receivers. However, his footwork and quickness aren't ideal for a corner, so there is a potential conversion to safety in his future.

PROSPECT ANALYSIS
The star dual-purpose quarterback has proven to be too erratic a passer to follow Seneca Wallace’s path to the pros. However, he Robinson could work himself into a slot receiver or hybrid running back/receiver and return specialist role due to his elite straight-line speed and elusiveness in the open field –- though no one knows as of yet whether he is capable of catching an NFL ball consistently. He’s at his best with the ball in his hands, though, and most of his time at Michigan has been spent in a quasi-running back role. If he wants to make the transition, and shows strong hands in workouts, the sky is the limit on his draft stock, and he could go as early as the second round.

The two-way high school star gave up toting the ball upon his arrival in Raleigh, and opposing offenses wish he hadn’t. The three-year starter is willing to attack ballcarriers in space or in the backfield and can make plays in the secondary, meaning he has a chance to start in the NFL as a mid-round pick.

PROSPECT ANALYSIS
This Australia native came through the junior college ranks before starting all 13 games for the 2011 BCS champions at five-technique and another 13 games at nose tackle in 2012. Williams uses his size, consistent motor and supreme toughness to drain his opponents at the point of attack. His best NFL position is likely at nose tackle, but Williams has enough athleticism to play multiple spots for a 3-4 team at the next level.

Simon is sure to draw a lot of interest based on his length and play-making ability, along with the fact that his hips are much more fluid than most other tall corners. Some of Simon's length is mitigated by the fact that he doesn't press very well, and he'll need to clean up his footwork and technique at the next level.

Hughes is a wide-body nose tackle with the agility scouts and coaches love to see. He needed a prep school detour for academic issues, which dogged him during his time in Tennessee as well before his dismissal from that program. Teams will need to see him prove his work ethic, but if he does, he could be a nice rotational piece for a 4-3 base defensive team at the next level.

The Cardinal’s running back proved this season that he was capable of maintaining his level of play even without Andrew Luck at QB. While he isn't exceptional in any one facet of the game, he is technically sound, and well-rounded. Taylor is possibly the safest back in this class due to his ability to not only pass protect, but to catch the foobtall, which will make him invaluable on third downs. He is likely to go in the second or third round.

Edwards hasn’t started a lot of games, and his statistics aren’t exceptional. But that’s no shame given the elite talent in front of him on LSU’s depth chart; even in his somewhat limited reps, scouts can see he has the physical tools to contribute as a mid-round 4-3 defensive end prospect able to play on either side of the line of scrimmage. Edwards should be able to find a niche in the NFL as a swing man defensive end, just like he plays at LSU.

NEEDS ANALYSIS
It was difficult to decide which need is the Bills' \"biggest,\" because Buffalo has so many pressing problems. Quarterback gets the nod because it's the most important position on the field, but you could make a strong case that the potential starters at wide receiver, guard and linebacker are even worse than Kevin Kolb. In today's NFL, teams essentially need three wide receivers who can start. Buffalo could have the most pressing wideout need in the league. The Bills seem likely to invest in a quarterback sometime in the middle rounds, but shouldn't force a pick, because they can use talent in a lot of spots. On most teams, the Bills' total lack of depth at safety and defensive end would qualify as a pressing need. On this Buffalo roster, it ranks relatively low on the list.

PROSPECT ANALYSIS
A consensus four star recruit, Williams was a SuperPrep and Prepstar All-American as a 2008 senior. In both his junior and senior years, Williams was first-team all-district and second-team all-state. Williams redshirted in his first year at California, after being named the nation's No. 37 freshman defensive back prior to the season by Phil Steele.
In 2010, he played in all 12 games, and made three starts. Williams recorded 26 tackles (one for loss), one interception, four passes defended, and one forced fumble. The following season, Williams started all 13 games at corner and posted 44 tackles (one for loss), two interceptions, and 11 passes defended. In 2012, Williams started all 12 games for Cal. Williams was named Cal's Bear Backers MVP on the defense side of the ball and also the team's Most Valuable Back defensively. He also earned All-Pac 12 honorable mention recognition from the league's coaches. He amassed 80 tackles (seven for loss), three interceptions, 10 pass deflections, and one forced fumble.

PROSPECT ANALYSIS
The part-time starter in 2011 managed to earn second-team All-Sun Belt honors (11 tackles for loss, 7.5 sacks) in 2011 while also displaying great upside to NFL scouts due to his length and explosion off the edge as a pass rusher. He lined up as a starter full-time in 2012, showing a much improved all around game. Unfortunately, the 2012 Sun Belt Defensive Player of the Year tore his ACL in November, ending his senior season after just ten games. How Smith checks out medically will have a huge effect on his stock, but a team that feels good about his knee might feel the Hilltopper's skill as a pass rusher is worth investing a Day 2 pick on him.

NEEDS ANALYSIS
That \"biggest area of need\" could change at any minute from now until the Buccaneers are on the clock. A potential trade for Darrelle Revis looms over Tampa Bay's entire offseason. Luke Stocker is in line to start at tight end, which is a concern, considering the Bucs' lack of quality depth at wide receiver. Quarterback Josh Freeman needs more weapons. Freeman, who isn't coach Greg Schiano's \"guy\" just yet, might also need competition; the Bucs are a darkhorse to take a quarterback early on. Tampa Bay invested three early picks in defensive linemen from 2010-2011, taking Gerald McCoy, Da'Quan Bowers and Adrian Clayborn, and all three players are slated to start this year. Adding another defensive tackle to the mix would make sense.

Hawthorne is a physical defender with the size to start outside against larger NFL receivers, hands and read-and-react ability to make plays in coverage, and aggressive nature to hold up his end of the bargain in run support. Illinois had plenty of draftable defensive talent in 2012, but the unit as a whole was putrid. Hawthorne's extreme injury in the middle of October may have played a part in it, but the senior was not the same player in 2012 as he was in 2011.

Two broken vertebrae in his back wasn’t enough to keep Thompson from coming back for his senior year. The diminutive but speedy back led the Seminoles in rushing in 2010 (845 yards, six touchdowns, also 19-155, TD receiving), but struggled with his back throughout his junior season even before suffering the major injury against Wake Forest. If he proves himself healthy enough to take hits after breaking off big runs using his track speed and elusiveness, however, teams will value him as a mid-to-late round chance of pace back with return potential.

First off, Minnesota is carrying a second first-round choice, thanks to the Percy Harvin deal. Second, the club has two picks in both a middle round (the fourth) and a later round (the seventh). Those extra picks might come in handy when it comes to either trading up to get someone the scouting department covets or finding an incentive for another team that wants to make a move. Either way, the Vikes are in good shape. However, the Vikings probably will sit back and pick the best player available at wideout, linebacker, corner, defensive tackle, etc. Or, again, they could move up, if the situation warrants.

After trading for Percy Harvin and signing a pair of pass rushers (Cliff Avril and Michael Bennett), the Seahawks appear to be a team without any major needs as they enter the draft. Head coach Pete Carroll and general manager John Schneider boast what is arguably the strongest top-to-bottom roster in the NFL. Otherwise adequate right tackle Breno Giacomini was abused by St. Louis Rams defensive end Chris Long in two meetings last season, and the Seahawks should target his eventual replacement in the second round. While the Seahawks have the best starting secondary in the league, they could use depth at both cornerback and safety in the later rounds.

A pivotal part of James Franklin's growth of the Vanderbilt program, Stacy was one of the most consistent runners in the country throughout his career. His best accomplishments might actually be off the field, as Stacy majored in Special Education and frequently volunteers with local charities to do his part of community service. The senior did hit some rough patches as a freshman and sophomore, failing to finish those two seasons due to injuries, an ankle issue in 2009 and a head injury in 2010.
A three sport athlete in high school (baseball, basketball), Stacy immediately contributed to the Commodores as a freshman, starting four games and rushing for 478 yards and three touchdowns on 107 carries. He added another 72 receiving yards on seven receptions. Stacy missed two games that season and was limited in another two. As a sophomore, he rushed for 331 yards and three touchdowns on 66 carries, with another 32 yards on nine receptions. Stacy missed the final three games of the season. During his junior year in 2011, Stacy finally earned a full-time starting role and it paid off for the Commodores, rushing for 1,193 yards and 14 touchdowns on 201 carries. He added 106 receiving yards on 20 catches. Finally, as a senior, Stacy took 207 carries for 1,141 yards and 10 touchdowns. He added 10 catches for 205 yards.

The next Florida State pass rusher to head to the NFL saw a drop in production in 2011 (eight sacks, down from 13.5 in 2010), and then suffered a Lisfranc injury in the Seminoles' 2012 opener. Jenkins has a redshirt year available, but the injury occurred early enough that he might hold off until doctors can determine if he would be ready to work out for scouts at the Combine. A strong workout and positive medical reports could make him a bargain for an NFL team trying to find a pass rusher (4-3 end or 3-4 linebacker) in the second round of the 2013 draft.

Jeff Backus' unexpected retirement leaves a void at left tackle. Let's just say right tackle Gosder Cherilus joining the Indianapolis Colts didn't exactly make things warm and fuzzy for Matthew Stafford. Every QB needs his wubby, but now Stafford is without both of them. That said, the guess here is that general manager Martin Mayhew looks to get a player on the edge. Kyle Vanden Bosch is gone. Cliff Avril is in Seattle. Meanwhile, the Lions are preparing to roll into 2013 with Jason Jones and Ronnell Lewis at defensive end. Ndamukong Suh is certainly a good player, but at this point, he's not the unmitigated force he's sometimes purported to be. The Lions also have holes to fill in the secondary and at wide receiver.
