Offense
QB – Stephen McGee ~ Texas A&M = Another guy who
lit it up at his pro day. He also can really run (4.6). Has a pretty
decent set of tools to develop into a solid backup.
RB – Cedric Peerman – Virginia = His attitude is what
I love. A very serious guy who is built like a small house. Had one of
the best combines (27 reps, 40 inch vert, 4.45 40)
RB – Andre Brown – N.C. State = Ideal size 6’0” 225,
good hands, and he keeps his legs moving at all times. I think Brown
could carry the ball 10-15 times for a team and keep a solid average.
FB – Quinn Johnson - LSU
WR – Austin Collie – BYU = Really impressed at his pro
day running a mid 4.5 in the 40, while showcasing his incredible
catching ability. This guy could develop into another Brandon Stokley.
WR – Jarett Dillard – Rice = Dillard can jump with
anybody in the NFL (42.5 inch vert at the combine), which is ideal
because he is only 5’10”. Didn’t face stiff competition in college, but
he dominated the teams he did face. Has great hands to boot.
TE – John Phillips – Virginia Tech = Phillips reminds
me a little bit of John Carlson, only a little bit slower. He can catch
the ball well, and is a willing blocker.
OT – William Beatty – Connecticut – A little
undersized, but this guy has great feet, a strong punch, good mirror
skills, he just needs to get stronger.
OG – Kraig Urbik – Wisconsin = One of my favorite
lineman in the draft, Urbik hails from the offensive line capital of
college football and his technique/tenacity shows through when you
watch him.
C – A.Q. Shipley – Penn State = A very tough, undersized center that does everything well. Also very strong.
OG – Greg Isdaner – West Virginia = A big, strong guard who is nimble.
OT – Augustus Parrish – Kent State = Great feet, a solid all-around tackle that didn’t face very good competition in college.
Defense
DE – Paul Krugar – Utah = Krugar reminds me a lot of Patrick Kerney. He has a non-stop motor and is a relentless pass rusher.
DE – Kyle Moore – USC = A big defensive end who also can play some tackle in pass rushing situations.
DT – Jarron Gilbert – San Jose State = This guy has
great size/athleticism and has the frame to add on more weight. His
knock is the weak competition he faced in college.
DT – Alex McGee – Purdue = A guy who was a late
addition to the Senior Bowl roster, yet made an instant impact. Guys
from Purdue are known for their burst off the line and this is McGee’s
biggest asset. For being 6’3” 298 he can get up field in a hurry.
OLB – Lawrence Sidbury Jr. – Richmond = Can fly off
the edge, not much strength but won’t get blown back either. He can be
a very good situational pass rusher.
MLB – Scott McKillop - Pittsburgh = Here is a guy who
gets the job done. Does everything fairly well but nothing will jump
out at you. Can be a very valuable special teams player or fill in.
OLB – Zack Follett – California = A big strong guy who
was very productive in college. He also showed surprising athleticism
at the combine (37 inch vert, 4.7 40).
CB – Victor “Macho” Harris – Virginia Tech = Macho is
a guy that many people don’t feel can succeed in the NFL. This guy has
very good instincts, is extremely versatile and could possibly play
safety. His size and straight line speed are a concern. He needs to get
in a zone scheme.
CB – Kevin Barnes – Maryland = One of the top
performers at the combine, had a great pro day, and has very intriguing
size (6’0” 190). A guy who could be a better pro then college player.
SS – David Bruton – Notre Dame = I fell in love with
this guy at the Senior Bowl, and he didn’t disappoint at the combine
either. A big physical safety that will crush opponents coming across
the middle, has the range to defend the pass and excellent size (6’2”
219).
FS – Chip Vaughn – Wake Forest = 6’1” 221 of solid
rock. This guy is a two year starter on a defense that featured Aaron
Curry as well as Alphonso Smith. Vaughn was the “other” guy making big
plays in big situations for the Demon Deacons last season.
Bonus Player – WR Mike Thomas – Arizona = An absolute burner who runs crisp routes and has good hands. I love him as a slot receiver on the next level as well as a dynamic kick returner.
