Top performers
Brandon Graham, DE, Michigan
...He had a monster game. There won't be many tackles that can handle him without help. Excellent pass rusher and can stop the run. Never stops.
Sean Weatherspoon, LB, Missouri
...I liked how he started the game. Made a tackle on the opening kickoff and played with great energy, and it rubbed off on his teammates. Made a lot of plays in coverage, including a late interception. They couldn't blitz the linebackers but I think he can probably do that well because of his athletic ability.
Mardy Gilyard, WR, Cincinnati
...Very polished and ready to contribute immediately. Can make plays underneath and down the field.
Dan Williams, NT, Tennessee
...He played mostly in the first half and showed outstanding versatility for his size, along with the obvious strength for a potential nose tackle.
Helped themselves
Dan LeFevour, QB, Central Michigan
...He's a gamer. Can makes plays with his feet and also showed he can make a variety of throws.
Koa Misi, LB, Utah
...Converted DE can move and make tackles in space.
Daryl Washington, LB, TCU
...Another impressive linebacker that can run.
Garrett Graham, TE, Wisconsin
...This draft is deep with pass-catching TEs but Graham showed he's one of them.
Colin Peek, TE, Alabama
...Similar to Graham. Soft hands, safe target.
LeGarrette Blount, RB, Oregon
...Not a good RB class. Blount's size is still intriguing and he ran with some elusiveness and power in this game. Looks like he's trying to show a good attitude.
Terrence Cody, DT, Alabama
...He's holding steady as a mid-first rounder. Even at 370 pounds, he can move, disrupt and anchor the middle.
Patrick Robinson, CB, Florida State
...Nearly a top performer. He was tested a lot with a variety of different pass plays and showed the speed to close on just about every pass. I think he'll get beat from time to time but is the type of guy with a lot of pride and competitiveness so he'll bounce back and be better 2-3 years down the road.
Lamarr Houston, DT, Texas
...Not much question he is quick for a DT. The kind of player that would do well in a 4-3 such as Indianapolis.
Dekoda Watson, LB, Florida State
...Not much question he is one of the fastest linebackers in terms of game speed but still a question of whether he can shed blockers and hold up physically. Another guy more suited for a small, quick defense like Indy.
Andre Roberts, WR, The Citadel
...Good and bad from Roberts. He beat Boise's Kyle Wilson on a crossing route and made a tough catch in traffic, taking a big hit. He also dropped an easy one late in the game. But he's from a small school so just getting his name out there was a big deal. I think he can be a nice second day pick.
Taylor Mays, S, USC
...Big physical safety made a nice interception playing centerfield on a poorly thrown ball by Sean Canfield.
Brandon Lang, DE, Troy
Cameron Sheffield, DE, Troy
...Both guys showed speed off the edge.
Cam Thomas, DT, North Carolina
...Hoss. He completely overpowered Mike Johnson a few times. He goes 6'3 and 330 and looks like a guy that's going to be tough to hold off. Might be a nose tackle option in the second or third round.
Underwhelmed
Tim Tebow, QB, Florida
...It's going to be an uphill battle. He is not confident and decisive enough running the NFL offense. That split second delay leads to the pass rush getting there or the defensive back closing on the pass. He will have to be drafted as a wild card guy with no intentions of being a QB for at least a few years.
Mike Johnson, LG, Alabama
...I was a big fan of this guy through his college career but he struggles in pass protection. Good at getting out as a run blocker and on screen plays but got overpowered against the strong defensive tackles.
Trevard Lindley, CB, Kentucky
...Looked lost in coverage a few times.
Running backs
...The senior RB class is weak overall. Not much out there today.
agreed, Gilyard's stock is way up after this game. Maybe late first round. Unfortunately that means he probably won't go to the Bengals.
dont make fun of tebow! notre dame losers will come on here and yell at us.
I've been looking for the feed. I didn't get to watch it earlier. I looked on the local channels and ESPN and didn't see it (I was going to record it). And I forgot to look on the NFL Network
Wow did Tebow look bad. That arm will never make it in the NFL.
