Updated Hot 100: Tier Three prospects

Tier Three (21-30 listed alphabetically)

**Dez Bryant**, WR, Oklahoma State
6-foot-2, 225 pounds
Missed most of the 2009 season and didn't work out at the combine. A big receiver with good hands, and he also has return ability. Has top-10 talent.

**Carlos Dunlap**, DE, Florida
6-5 ¾, 277
Very athletic to go with good quickness. Plays well vs. the run, but needs to mature and learn better pass rush moves.

**Mike Iupati**, G, Idaho
6-5 1/8, 331
Will become the first Idaho player to be drafted in Round 1 since 1967. Played guard in college, but some think he'll play tackle in the NFL. Dominated in college despite a limited football background.

**Kareem Jackson**, CB, Alabama
5-10 ½, 196
(UP FROM TIER 4) Another cornerback coached by Nick Saban. Plays the run well and can play bump-and-run or off the receiver. Looks like former Cowboys great Everson Walls, who led the NFL in interceptions each of his first two seasons.

**Ryan Mathews**, RB, Fresno State
5-11 5/8, 218
Strong runner, ran for 1,808 yards in 2009 against 8- and 9-man fronts. Good blocker and receiver.

**Colt McCoy**, QB, Texas
6-1 1/8, 216
(UP FROM TIER 4) The winningest quarterback in college history. Moves well and has a high release point. He is very accurate and can throw on the move. Had a great pro day.

**Jared Odrick**, DT, Penn State
6-5, 305
Defensive tackle who can also play end. He has a big frame and has the quickness to get upfield.

**Rodger Saffold**, LT, Indiana
6-4 5/8, 315
Has started four years at left tackle for Indiana, a good pass protector and a big effort player on a mediocre team. Needs to add strength.

**Demaryius Thomas**, WR, Georgia Tech
6-3 ¼, 224
(DOWN FROM TIER 2) A project with unbelievable abilty. Broke his foot in February and most likely won't work out prior to draft. But he averaged 25 yards per catch on an option running team.

**Kyle Wilson**, CB, Boise State
5-10, 194
Has ball skills needed to play the position. Strong, and can return kicks. Needs to work on his tackling.
