PLAYER ANALYSIS
Amos checks all the boxes when it comes to strong football intelligence, a willingness to digest tape and cover skills. The biggest question is whether or not he can fit with a coordinator looking for playmakers and chance-takers. He must prove that he can play with greater overlap. Amos' scheme versatility is a big plus, but I wouldn't ask him to play inside the box very often.

Round 2 • Pick 2
PLAYER ANALYSIS
The frame of a guard and the skill set of a guard probably means Smith will end up moving to guard. His hands need work, but with power as his calling card and the ability to hide some of his athletic deficiencies by moving him inside, he has a good shot of getting drafted and fighting for a backup spot.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Hull is a productive linebacker who might be forced to stay inside due to his lack of athleticism. His size and short arms concern some scouts because they fear he'll get overwhelmed on second level and give up too many big runs. Hull has enough talent to make it in the league as a backup linebacker/special-teams contributor.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Base end in college who might lack the natural pass-rushing ability or strength at the point of attack to play defensive end in the NFL. Barnes appears to have enough athleticism to transition to 3-4 outside linebacker, but he must improve his hand usage and become more skilled as a pass rusher to fit into a 3-4 role.

Round 5 • Pick 24
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Big, in-line tight end with room on his frame for more muscle, but he's limited by a lack of functional athleticism and a mechanical play demeanor. James isn't a plus receiver with great hands and he lacks the quickness to consistently free himself from man coverage, so he must become a more determined run blocker in order to have a shot at starting in the NFL.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
If he can get back to his level of play from 2013, then he is a draftable player who has movement and power traits that give him a chance to earn playing time in the NFL. Dieffenbach's 2014 tape will scare many teams and his medicals will be closely scrutinized, but his recovery and potential might be worth a late-round pick.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Solid accuracy and has clutch kicks under his belt, but inability to boom kickoffs will make a trip into camp via undrafted free agency the very likely scenario.
