This could be tough as guys that stood out may no longer end up as later rounds picks. 

 

Matt Ionidas - DT - Temple.... I'm looking at NFLDraftScout and see him listed as a 5th rounder.  But he looked awesome at the Senior Bowl all week.  He may shoot up draft boards.

 

Lots of good defensive lineman... gotta imagine one or two of them will fall to 3rd round.  We dont really need any unless they can rush the passer though.

 

Deion Jones - LB - LSU...  everyone kept comparing him to Telvin.  Cant imagine he'll be sitting there in the 5th round like Telvin did but if so, could be a steal.  Think I've seen him listed as a 3rd rounder.

 

Nick Martin - C - Notre Dame...  We need a center.  He looked good not great.  But he could be there in the 3rd.

 

Jonathan Jones - DB - Auburn... probably wont go in the first couple rounds cuz of his size or lack thereof but he is like a little pitbull on the corner.


Eric Murray - DB - Minnesota... similar player to Jones but actually has good size.  NFLDraftScout has him as a 4th rounder.  I bet he is off the board before Jones.


Harlan Miller - CB - SELA.... Mayock kept raving about him.  NFLDraftScout has him as 4th rounder as well.

 

Nick Vannett - TE - Ohio St... supposedly had a good week.  I didnt see much of him from what I watched but the tv broadcast was a lot lighter this year.  I see him listed as a 3rd rounder.  Lots of these guys Im mentioning seem to be 3rd rounders so obviously could only nab one of them.

 

Tyler Matakavech - LB - Temple.... another guy who may be there in the 3rd.  we've talked about him in other threads.  got exposed during the game not being able to keep up with Drake out of the backfield but was his only bad play.

 

Kenyan Drake - RB - Bama.... if he doesnt run a fast 40, I could see him dropping to 4th round or so.  Doesnt really excel in any one phase.  Good RB but not great.  Good WR out of backfield but not great.  Good returner but not great.  And has had two bad injuries.  All purpose backup RBs will often be found in the mid rounds and so could he.

 

Tyler Ervin - RB - San Jose St.... 5th or 6th round back.  Kinda small.  But very productive.  Tons of yards running, receiving, and in return game.  Just small.  however during the game they were running him up the middle and he seemed to be able to handle it.  Not sure if NFL will just be too big for him though.

 

Dak Prescott - QB - Miss St.... apparently our coaching staff really liked his leadership ability.  He could make a really good backup.  And with his size and running ability, maybe could be a short yardage option for us.  Which is something we were AWFUL at last year.  Not sure where in the draft he'll go.  I see him listed as 3rd-4th rounder which is probably too high for us but could make a useful 5th rounder or later if he falls.
