NEEDS ANALYSIS
Chiefs fans have a right to whine about the franchise's star-crossed timing. One year ago, Kansas City at No. 1 would have had its pick of Andrew Luck or Robert Griffin III. Instead, the Chiefs appear destined to select an offensive tackle. The Chiefs might also be in the market for another tackle post-draft if the disgruntled Branden Albert is shopped. On defense, coach Andy Reid shored up his paper-thin cornerback group by adding free agents Sean Smith and Dunta Robinson. The team still needs a more reliable free safety than Kendrick Lewis across from Eric Berry. At linebacker, the death of Jovan Belcher leaves this group with a need on the inside.

New general manager David Caldwell comes to the Jaguars after working under Atlanta Falcons boss Thomas Dimitroff, who once declared, \"Until you find your quarterback, the search for him consumes you.\" Despite the Jaguars' public stance to the contrary, they can't be convinced that Blaine Gabbert is the answer at quarterback. Look for Caldwell to concentrate on defense in the middle rounds. Mock drafts have popularly sent a defensive end to Jacksonville in the first round, but that might actually be the deepest position on that side of the ball. After losing four veterans from last season's secondary, a higher priority should be finding a pair of cornerbacks and a safety.

If GM Reggie McKenzie had his way, the Raiders would trade out of No. 3 in a hurry. That won't be easy. If they keep the pick, addressing departures on the defensive line is a must. Richard Seymour, Desmond Bryant and Tommy Kelly have been replaced by Vance Walker, Jason Hunter and Pat Sims. That's uninspiring business. The addition of Matt Flynn tempers the need at quarterback; still, look for the Raiders to grab a signal-caller. Up front, the Raiders have a solid left tackle in Jared Veldheer, but Khalif Barnes was a disaster on the right side. Flynn is a dead man unless that gets fixed. The Raiders are a train wreck on paper. Critics are descending on McKenzie, but don't forget he inherited a steaming mess. It's going to take time to dig Oakland out from under.

Williams looks like a lean offensive tackle, and often blocks like one; he might have the speed of a lineman, as well, but his solid receiving hands and red zone presence will virtually guarentee that he sticks in the NFL for a very long time as a team's second tight end.

The third Mauti to play at Penn State, Michael is an extremely intuitive and instinctual player. He's far from a remarkable athlete, but he is coordinated in changing direction, and is fundamentally sound in taking on blocks and making tackles. Versatile enough to play multiple linebacker spots. Tough and physical, but his injury history is a major worry. His medical exams are going to be crucial to his draft stock.

At North Fort Meyers High School, Bohanon totaled over 1,500 yards and 18 touchdowns in his career. In his final three years at the school, he earned all-district, all-conference and all-area honors. Bohanon also lettered in baseball. He ultimately chose Wake Forest over Michigan State and Louisville.
In 2009, he became the first-ever true freshman fullback to play at Wake Forest under Jim Grobe. He was used primarily as a blocker, but had 16 carries for 51 yards and eight receptions for 66 yards. As a sophomore, he played in all 12 games with four starts at fullback. Bohanon logged 17 carries for 77 yards, and tied for fourth on the team with 11 receptions. In 2011, Bohanon played in all 13 games with six starts at fullback. He rushed 15 times for 31 yards and two touchdowns. He also added nine receptions for 56 yards and a touchdown. In 2012, Bohanon had two rushes for a yard and a touchdown. He also had 23 catches for 208 yards and five touchdowns.

As long as Green Bay has Aaron Rodgers, a certain amount of success is guaranteed for the Packers, but the ancillary parts are lacking in several areas. The running game was a major sticking point last season, especially after Cedric Benson went down in Week 5. The defensive line boasts a lot of solid draft picks, but no real production. The clearly overrated B.J. Raji has been on the field for too many snaps during portions of his young career. He's decent, but he needs help and just isn't the force that, say, a Kyle Williams is. Regarding the linebacker position, the club is relying on the unproven Nick Perry at this point. It's possible the Packers might target a position besides OLB, but there's no question Clay Matthews could use some help.

Bryant originally enrolled at Abeline Christian. He spent one season there, in which he did not play. After leaving the program, Bryant transferred to Cisco Junior College (Texas) before ultimately transferring to Eastern Central.
In his first season, as a defensive end for the Tigers, Bryant had 49 tackles (19 for loss), 13.5 sacks, two forced fumbles and blocked four kicks. Bryant won the Lone Star Conference North Defensive Lineman of the Year after picking up two LSC North Defensive Player of the Week honors and one LSC North Special Teams Player of the Week award in 2010. Bryant was a first team All-Great American Conference selection in 2011, after amassing 62 tackles (12.5 for loss), three sacks, and three blocked kicks. Bryant only played in eight games as a senior, as he was suspended after being arrested for selling marijuana to an undercover police officer. He still managed to total 54 tackles (17.5 for loss), 10.5 sacks, four forced fumbles, and two blocked kicks.

He still never saw a lot of throws his way and his long-legged frame makes him a strider and costs him leverage in blocking. Still, his upside could earn him a late-round selection.

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.

Williams only played one year of high school football. In his lone season, his senior year, Williams played both offensive and defensive line. He recorded 25 tackles, two interceptions (one of which he returned for a touchdown), one fumble recovery, and knocked down two passes. Due to only playing one season, he was lightly recruited. Williams chose Samford for its close proximity to his home.
Williams redshirted his first season. In 2009, he played in seven games and had three tackles. The following year, he played in 11 games, and recorded nine tackles and a forced fumble. In 2011, he became a full-time starter, and played in every game. He had 23 tackles (three for loss), and two sacks. Williams had his best year in his redshirt senior season. He tallied 31 tackles (eight for loss), and six sacks. He was All-Southern Conference second-team in 2011, and first-team in 2012.

After a stellar season on the offensive line, and a defensive season that saw him record 48 tackles and a sack in his senior year of high school, Herman was certainly showered with honors. He earned first-team All-City Offensive and Defensive Line, first-team All-District Offensive Line, Co-Lineman of the Year, Division II Northwest District Lineman of the Year, first-team All-State Division II, and All-Toledo Blade honors.
Herman redshirted in 2008, but played 563 snaps the following year, and recorded a team-high 45.5 pancakes. In 2010, he started in all 13 games and recorded 60 pancakes. In his redshirt junior season, Herman started all 14 games and earned All-MAC second team honors. In 2012, Herman played in all 13 of the team’s games and recorded team highs in pancakes and knockdowns. He received All-MAC second team honors for the second consecutive year.

This extremely lean edge defender needs to get bigger and stronger, but he flashes violent hands on the edge, covers a lot of ground off the edge, has one of the better first steps in the class and has shown good motor as a pass-rushing defensive end (7.5 sacks in 2011). Not to mention, he can handle short-area coverage responsibilities when asked to stand up as a linebacker. That sort of scheme versatility will be valued by NFL teams, but they need to get to find the cause of his poor senior season. His 2012 film suggests he’d be nothing more than a mid-round project, but his lethargic play and struggles disengaging could have been due to losing so much weight before the season started. A strong season could see his stock rebounding back into the second round.

Gilkey proved to be both a true student and athlete throughout high school. A two-year starter at Aurora Christian High School, Gilkey helped lead his team to a 12-1 record and a trip to the state semifinals. He was named to the all-area and all-conference team for his stellar season. Gilkey also participated in track, baseball and wrestling, in addition to being a straight-A student. Gilkey found out about Chadron State through his high school coach, and decided to go there after a 14-hour trip to visit the campus.
His first year on the squad, Gilkey took a redshirt. In 2009, he saw action in six games, and registered two starts. The following year, Gilkey started all 11 games at left tackle. He also joined the basketball team midway through the season, and played in a reserve role. Gilkey missed the first two games of the 2011 season due to his appendix bursting, but finished off the year with nine consecutive starts. Gilkey started every game of the 2012 season.

PROSPECT ANALYSIS
Each year, a handful of redshirt sophomores declare for the draft. In recent seasons, the position to push the most players to the NFL in this category has been running back. This year is no different with Giovani Bernard and Rutgers' Jawan Jamison. The two year starter broke out early in 2012, but an ankle injury appeared to hobble him down the stretch. Although he could have returned as the starter, Jamison felt it was best to take his talents to the NFL after accounting for a large part of Rutgers' offense.
After redshirting in 2010, Jamison was a first year starter in 2011, accumulating 897 rushing yards and nine touchdowns on 231 carries. He added eight receptions for 62 yards. As a redshirt sophomore, Jamison added to his totals, rushing for 1,075 yards and four touchdowns on 255 carries. He dressed and played in every game, but there were multiple contests where Jamison was obviously limited by an injured ankle. He caught 28 passes for 323 yards and two touchdowns.

Stuck behind two running backs drafted last April (Robert Turbin, Michael Smith), Williams patiently waited for 2012 to get his chance as the Aggies’ top backfield threat. Williams seized his opportunity with a strong senior season that included 20 total touchdowns. Williams is unlikely to see many carries in the NFL like Turbin and Smith potentially will, but he's a more versatile player than either one of them. Williams could be drafted late based upon his pass catching and kick return ability.

While Powell is a defensive end now, his high school career certainly wouldn’t have given you any indication of that. As a senior, Powell led Seaside High School to a state championship victory as the starting quarterback and cornerback. Powell’s career started at DeAnza College. As a sophomore, he was first team all-state, first-team All-Golden Gate Conference and Golden Gate Conference Defensive Most Valuable Player. In his sophomore year, he had 69 tackles, including 3.5 tackles for loss, two sacks, two interceptions, and five pass breakups.
In 2011, Powell started three games and had seven tackles (2.5 for loss) and two sacks. As a senior, Powell recorded 40 tackles (15 for loss) and 8.5 sacks. After the season, Powell participated in both the Texas vs. The Nation Game, and in the Senior Bowl. Powell was also named second-team All-America by D2football.com. He is only the second Bison to earn All-America honors from the organization, who also named Torrance “Tank” Daniels to its All-America team in 2005.

At Terry Parker High School, Barrington was a three-star prospect at linebacker, but he also played running back, where he logged 1,188 yards rushing and 17 touchdowns on 108 carries as a senior. While playing all of the linebacker sports, he racked up 109 tackles, five sacks, one interception, two forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries and six pass breakups. Barrington picked USF over Miami, Purdue and Illinois, among others.
As a true freshman, he appeared in all 13 games and started one. He tallied 41 tackles (two for loss) with one pass defended. In 2010, Barrington played in all 13 games, and logged 11 starts. He finished third on the team in tackles with 65 (6.5 for loss). He also added half of a sack, two forced fumbles, a fumble recovery and three passes broken up. Barrington’s junior year saw him start all 12 games. He had 72 tackles (6.5 for loss), 2.5 sacks, and one interception. In 2012, Barrington’s play earned him a second-team All-Big East nod. He had 80 tackles (6.5 for loss), 3.5 sacks, two forced fumbles, and three pass breakups.

Just like every year, a few small schoolers break onto the scene and perform very well on an equal playing field. Bass is one of these prospects, as he was the most consistent pass rusher at the East-West Shrine game. The senior broke two records during his final year at Missouri Western State breaking the school's career sack (39.5) and consecutive starts (50). When asked the one word to describe himself, Bass answered "beast".
Bass immediately started as a freshman in all 12 games, finishing with 47 tackles, 9.5 for loss and 6.5 sacks. In 2010, Bass put up similar numbers in the same 12 starts, with 47 tackles, 10.5 for loss, and eight sacks. His production only went up, with 14.5 sacks in 12 starts as a junior on 20 tackles for loss. Bass' 14 starts in 2012 were a career high and tallied 11.5 sacks.

Dysert reminded scouts a bit of Roethlisberger by displaying toughness and more of a playmaker’s game than pure efficiency during his breakout 2011 season (3,513 passing yards, 65.8 percent completion rate, 23 touchdowns). He does not quite possess the two-time Super Bowl champ’s elite arm and bulk, but still has enough of both – along with the athleticism and deft passing touch to make NFL-caliber plays on the run – to become one of the top passers in the class. His career flew somewhat under the radar in the MAC conference, but has the size, arm, accuracy, athleticism, and production that NFL teams covet.

Wilson’s exit from Washington State was not exactly ideal, as he was suspended for violating team rules and then ripped Mike Leach and his coaching staff on his way out the door. The 6-foot-4, 185-pound receiver certainly flashed playmaking ability during his two-plus seasons in Pullman, especially in a second-team all-conference sophomore year (83-1,388, 12 touchdowns) where he flashes downfield playmaking ability using his height and excellent leaping ability. If teams believe he can improve the consistency of his hands and mature physically and mentally at the next level, he could be picked in the middle rounds and contribute immedately, similarly to how Mike Williams did for Tampa Bay in 2010.

Fortunately, they have 13 draft picks, thanks to trades and compensatory selections. The 49ers had issues rushing the passer after Justin Smith partially tore his triceps in Week 15 last season. The 49ers have enough picks that they can bundle a few of them to trade up, if there is a difference maker available. They also have the opportunity to take a flier on a player with injury concerns.

Mellette was lucky to play in a passing oriented offense, with the majority of his time under current Ball State head coach Pete Lembo. Prior to Mellete, Elon put forth a record breaking receiver in Terrell Hudgins, but Mellette's pro potential is much better. He won't win with long speed or athleticism, but Mellette has displayed the ability to make catches in traffic and win with technical route running. Expect a fourth- or fifth-round selection.

King has always had talent, but until his junior season, he found it difficult to first get on the field, and then to keep a starting job. His flashes in 2011 (31 tackles, four for loss, two sacks) as a versatile end/tackle swing player, however, made it very possible that 2012 is the year where he breaks out for Oklahoma – and asserts himself as a potential NFL player capable of lining up for 3-4 or 4-3 teams.

PROSPECT ANALYSIS
The tight end to offensive tackle conversion is a transition NFL evaluators have started to covet, and Fragel fits the. Despite possessing a Matt Kalil-type frame, Fragel started all 12 games in his final seasonon the right side and showed very little trouble anchoring against stronger pass rushers. His experience is limited on the left side, but Fragel could be groomed to block on the blind side or make a career on the right side after adding weight. Though he’s obviously still learning the position, NFL teams consider him a potential starter at the next level because of his overall athleticism and upside.

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.

NEEDS ANALYSIS
The team needs help at cornerback after the departures of Dunta Robinson, Brent Grimes and Chris Owens. Look for the Falcons to use an early pick at the position. Their pass rush also remains a concern. The Falcons could invest an early pick at defensive end or even target a strong-side linebacker with some blitzing ability who could eventually replace Stephen Nicholas. The rest of Atlanta's needs qualify for \"draft now, play later\" slots. Tony Gonzalez returned for one more year, but the Falcons don't have any suitable backups at tight end. And don't be surprised if the Falcons use a late pick on a \"backup quarterback of the future.\"

Nearly a carbon copy of 2012 first-round pick Harrison Smith in a physical sense, Motta doesn't have Smith's athleticism, and hasn’t been able to duplicate Smith's dynamic playmaking ability. However, Motta possesses intelligence and physicality similar to Smith. Motta could find himself selected within the first 100 picks.

Renfree is a tall, well-built quarterback. He's made too many poor decisions resulting in interceptions over his career, but he has the arm strength to make all the throws. When this is combined with his experience in an NFL-like offense, it's possible that a team will take a liking to him as a backup quarterback.

Sometimes draft rumors are almost too obvious to be true. After an offseason of wild spending, the Dolphins still have a hugely pressing need at tackle and the ammunition to trade up for one. General manager Jeff Ireland, facing a must-win contract year, might very well make another big splash. But the Dolphins could also trade up to take a cornerback, which is the team's other significant need. It wasn't so long ago that Vontae Davis was talking about being part of the best cornerback duo in football. Now Davis and Sean Smith are gone. The Dolphins need depth at places outside of tackle and cornerback. Mildly disappointing 2010 draft picks Jared Odrick and Koa Misi are coming to the ends of their deals. Miami could use front-seven help, especially for 2014 and beyond.

You'll notice the mention of both the offensive and defensive lines above. The Giants could use depth in each area, perhaps in the form of a right tackle (which has been rumored for months) and another edge rusher who can spell Justin Tuck ... or at least allow him to move inside occasionally. Given the number of quality defensive tackles in this draft, Big Blue might blow right past DE and instead find a DT to sneak into defensive coordinator Perry Fewell's line rotation. Cornerback is another position at which the Giants are going patchwork crazy. Corey Webster is no great shakes at this point in his career. The thought here is that the Giants have to hit linebacker high -- and perhaps twice -- in this draft.

Cunningham has seen a lot of playing time for South Carolina due to his skills as a run blocker and pass blocker, but he has been underutilized as a receiving threat. While he's far from a dynamic athlete, he shows enough skills to get open and make catches. He should stick in the NFL, if for nothing else besides his blocking.
