PLAYER ANALYSIS
Stiff-legged, underpowered, bump-and-steer zone blocker who will struggle to match up against the size and power of NFL defensive tackles. Best chance to stick will be as a swing interior backup in a slide-protection scheme. Left-hander who snaps right-handed and gun-snaps left-handed.

Round 5 • Pick 14
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Undersized, run-and-hit linebacker most ideally suited for a special-teams role. Lack of size will relegate him to a fast-flowing 4-3 under front, where he could be best on the weak side where action is funneled to him and he has a clean path to the ball.

Small-framed, quicker-than-fast slot receiver and punt returner. Is not uniquely electric, and will have to get his foot in the door on special teams.

Round 2 • Pick 32
PLAYER ANALYSIS
College left tackle with enough length and foot quickness to handle the blind side in a pinch, but is more ideally suited for the right side and could be best suited for a swing backup role. Has played nearly every position on the line and could add depth as a positional, wall-off blocker.

Fluid perimeter runner/receiver with playmaking ability, though his game is rough around the edges, requiring more polish and attention to detail.

Highly competitive, high-motor, hard-nosed pass rusher who wins with leverage and effort. Has 'tweener traits, but shows a knack to disrupt the backfield, and intensity and relentlessness give him a chance to carve a niche as situational, stand-up rush linebacker. Will make it difficult for coaches to cut him given his desirable makeup and passion for the game. Best tape is from 2012, as injury derailed his 2013 campaign and cost him a combine invitation.

Has the determination and competitiveness to earn a backup role for a power-running team.
