1. Aaron Curry,
Wake Forest
Ht - 6-3, Wt - 247, 40 - 4.56
The premier defender in this entire draft.
Top 3 player. In a 3-4, could play either inside or
outside. The whole package: speed, strength, vision, and
passion.
2.
Brian Cushing, USC
Ht - 6-3, Wt - 255, 40 - 4.75
3. Clay Matthews,
USC
Ht - 6-3, Wt - 240, 40 - 4.75
4. Clint Sintim,
Virginia
Ht - 6-3, Wt - 255, 40 - 4.70
5. Marcus
Freeman, Ohio State
Ht - 6-2, Wt - 242, 40 - 4.60
6. Tyrone McKenzie,
South Florida
Ht - 6-2, Wt - 235, 40 - 4.65
7. Cody Brown,
Connecticut
Ht - 6-2, Wt - 244, 40 -
4.84
Ideal as a 3-4 OLB. Lacks the size to probably play
defensive end, but doesn't have the ideal speed you want from an OLB,
but very smart and great intangibles. Is one of those players who
plays faster than he really is, but that is really a good thing.
Hard worker.
8. Jason Williams, Western Illinois
Ht - 6-3, Wt - 235, 40 - 4.49
Had a great pro day. Impressed scouts with his speed and 26 reps
on the bench press.
9. Jonathan Casillas, Wisconsin
Ht - 6-2, Wt - 230, 40 -
4.50
10. Zach Follet,
California
Ht - 6-2, Wt - 235, 40 -
4.60
11. DeAndre
Levy, Wisconsin
Ht - 6-3,
Wt - 230, 40 - 4.55
12.
Kaluka Maiava, USC
Ht - 5-11,
Wt - 229, 40 - 4.75
13. Nic Harris,
Oklahoma,
Ht - 6-3, Wt - 230, 40 - 4.65
SS/OLB. Will most likely move to linebacker.
14. Corey Smith, Cincinnati
Ht - 6-0, Wt - 224, 40 - 4.64
15. Moise Fokou, Maryland
Ht - 6-1, Wt - 233, 40 -
4.75
16. Lee
Robinson, Alcorn St.
Ht - 6-2,
Wt - 249, 40 - 4.78
17. Ashlee
Palmer, Ole Miss.
Ht - 6-2,
Wt - 222, 40 - 4.60
Reminds me of Wesley Woodyard last season. Great burst of speed,
but lack much bulk to be an every down player. Could be moved to
safety.
18. Mortty Ivy, West
Virginia
Ht - 6-2, Wt - 248, 40 -
4.88
Looked to be a perfect SLB, but has very poor speed. Great
tackler and leader. His speed will probably get him undrafted,
but could stick as an undrafted free agent.
