PLAYER ANALYSIS
Apke's production in key indicators for the position, like ball production and tackle consistency, are lacking. With just one year as a full-time starter, there simply isn't enough impressive tape to get excited about. He has decent size and could put together a solid workout, but may not offer enough range in coverage or thump as a tackler to ever be a full-time contributor. Apke may need to find his niche on special teams to earn any early playing time.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Right tackle prospect with good size, length and natural anchor. However, Crabtree's inconsistent base and heavy feet cause him trouble with balance which is highly exploitable by NFL defenders. Crabtree is OK in the run game but simply doesn't control the rep as often as you would like. His biggest concern will come against NFL pass rushers as he has too many instances where he struggles to protect his edges with footwork and redirect strength. Crabtree has backup potential but could struggle badly if forced into a game too early.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Well-built with NFL-caliber frame that should allow him to compete at guard. While Evans has experience at both tackle spots, his lack of length and struggles in setting quickly enough to the edge against speed will likely force him inside. He'll need to play with quicker hands to prevent defensive tackles from getting early jumps against him. With his frame and experience in pass protection, he has a chance to become a backup guard at some point.

Undersized outside cornerback with below average makeup speed who has the playmaker's mindset and instincts to challenge throws underneath. Coleman is a good athlete with impressive footwork and body control to mirror and match short to intermediate routes. He needs to be more diligent in taking on vertical targets as his ball skills with his back to the quarterback are below average. Coleman's 2017 wasn't as good as his 2016, but there is enough athletic ability and cover talent to give him a shot at making a team.

Coyle is expected to bump inside from tackle to guard, but he could struggle to make that transition based upon his primary areas of concern -- handwork and anchor. Coyle has too much wasted motion before getting his punch off and if that can't be corrected, he'll constantly find himself behind in the rep against much more talented opposition than he faced at Fordham. He could go on Day 3 and has enough talent to make a roster or practice squad, but he won't last long if he doesn't get his hands right.

Winbush is an undersized defensive end who will likely transition to a 3-4 outside linebacker spot. Winbush plays with a sense of urgency and determination that helped him make a high number of game-impacting plays over the last three years. His lack of size and length is a concern as an early-down run defender so teams may view him as a designated pass rusher option. What Winbush lacks in physical traits he makes up for with intangibles giving him a solid chance of making a roster.

Hector lacks the prototypical frame of an NFL three-technique, but he does have the active feet and the lower body strength to play strong through the edges. His frame and game are better-suited for an upfield, one-gapping defense. Hector lacks the consistency at the point of attack of teammate Deadrin Senat, but he posted more tackles for loss and sacks in three years than Senat did in four. Hector has some fans in scouting circles and could be a late round addition with a shot of becoming a backup in a 4-3 front.

Rotimi's 2016 tape has more flashes than most of his 2017 work thanks to knee issues that slowed him for much of this season. As a rusher, he's better suited as a 4-3 defensive end than a stand-up linebacker. Rotimi lacks the agility and bend to be a serious rusher from the edge and a team might look to beef him up and try to make him a 1-gap defensive tackle.

Long corner lacking the fluidity and twitch to stay connected with intermediate and deep routes. Campbell looks more comfortable playing off the line where his long arms have a shot to cover for his inconsistent footwork. He's not a fluid enough athlete and hasn't made enough plays on the ball to warrant much excitement, but if he runs well, his size and speed could get him drafted.

Warren is a running back with a linebacker's body who failed to build on what was a promising start to his collegiate career. Warren is a better downhill runner than off-set back and may still get an opportunity as a running back if he can slim down and speed up. He flashed some ability as a blocker and a hybrid role as a fullback/tailback isn't out of the question. Warren's love for ball is a concern for scouts, but his size and ability is intriguing. Warren could surprise if a team finds the right fit for him.

Rolland-Jones may be smaller than teams would like on the edge, but his rush skill and instincts are beyond what many rushers come into the league with. Rolland-Jones posted extremely disappointing speed, quickness and explosion numbers between his Combine and pro day. While he has the consistency of production on the collegiate level, there is now a big concern that his level of competition helped him to post numbers that won't translate into the league.

Former Australian Rugby player who is starting from scratch in his attempt to transition from rugby to football. Mailata has never played a down of American football so attempting to learn the tackle position and perform it at the highest level makes this an extremely daunting challenge. What Mailata does have is rare size and physical gifts with the movement skills that give him a chance at a very challenging position. His pro day numbers were outstanding (40: 5.12 seconds; VJ: 28 inches; BJ: 8-10; short shuttle: 4.67 seconds; 3-cone: 8.03 seconds; bench: 22 lifts).

Gates can dazzle with his ability to weave back and forth with easy redirection in his pass mirroring, but he has a poor anchor and a soft edge and doesn't hold up consistently enough to make a living outside. A move inside to guard is likely, but his issues against length and power are still concerns despite a move inside.

Technically sound and tough, Hamilton is a 3-4 inside linebacker with good football intelligence who is almost always where he is supposed to be.

Consecutive season-ending knee injuries will likely hurt his draft stock -- especially considering the fact that he may not be able to run or workout for teams before this year's draft.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
James is an active, athletic defensive lineman who lacks the physical traits of an NFL interior lineman and the athletic traits of a defensive end. While his instincts and awareness are top-notch, he might struggle to find a home on an NFL roster unless he can bulk up and carve out a niche as a sub-package interior rusher.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Levrone's 20.3 yards per catch looks impressive at first glance, but Virginia took plenty of deep ball shots his way which skews that total somewhat. Levrone has good size and athletic ability, but his hands aren't as trustworthy as teams would like and there isn't enough career production on the resume. His physical traits give him a chance once he makes it into a camp, but his relative lack of special teams experience could stymie his chances.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Motuapuaka is a productive three-year starter and team leader who plays with a consistent level of grit. However, he lacks the athletic ability and play speed teams usually look for from a draftable linebacker. Motuapuaka doesn't have superior instincts to make up for his deficiencies, but he has a shot to compete for a roster spot if he can shine with toughness and special teams play.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Workout warrior whose impressive combination of speed and power is sure to catch the attention of teams looking for a designated pass rusher with traits. Simmons lacks the overall length, bend, and handwork to fully capitalize on his testing numbers and he may need time on a practice squad to continue to improve his pass rush approach. Simmons doesn't play with the sand in his pants to hold the edge so he'll have to make the necessary strides as a rusher to have a chance to make a team down the road.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Springs spent his time playing on the outside at Oregon, but he may not have the height or length to stay outside as a pro. Springs has very good twitch and can access makeup speed when he gets behind in the route, but he doesn't play with the smooth transitions from press that are needed from slot cornerbacks. Springs' inconsistent run support will be another hurdle he will have to leap in order to make an NFL roster.
