38. DT Ko Quaye 6'1"305lbs.
Quaye came to the University of South Dakota as a 255lb lineman, and is now topping the 300lb mark. He spent his first season as a redshirt, then played mostly as a reserve his first two seasons for the Coyotes. He moved into the starting lineup as a junior, and had 44 tackles, 7.5 for loss, and 2.5 sacks to go along with an interception. So far this year through seven games, he has 23 tackles, 5.5 for loss, and half a sack. Quaye is your typical fireplug defensive tackle: his quickness and low center of gravity make it tough for blockers to get a hold of and drive off the line. He is a good athlete and shows the ability to control the line and get penetration to disrupt the action in the backfield. The obvious questions about Quaye stem from the level of compeition and how well he will stack up at the point of attack against bigger, stronger lineman on a consistent basis. He will likely only carry a late round grade, but he’s a player that could provide solid depth along a defensive line at the next level.

I wouldn't use the term "great" to describe his hands. I wouldn't use the term "good" to describe his routes, either. And if he could shave 0.10 seconds off his 40 time he'd just be a faster player period and that would make him a different player.

The guy is basically a Pat Turner. You throw the ball high and hot to him and he will out-jump a smaller player for it, haul it in...also you throw him the ball on the skinny post, he'll use his body to help haul it in. But otherwise, he doesn't use his head, hips or knees when running his routes...he takes shortcuts.
 
Some of you might not agree, but with Grove's injury history, I think we need some depth at the C position. Do not slam on the "Sleeper" status. Yes he is rated pretty high, but I do not think that he is really in the public consciousness.
39. C J.D. Walton 6'2"300lbs.
Strengths
Quick brawler with excellent core strength. Plays with a strong base and displays a fine hand punch. Good feet and balance and sticks to his blocks. Plays low with natural leverage and gets some push. Can run some and gets to the second level quickly. Excellent in combo blocks. Good cut-blocker and adjusts well in the open field. Mirrors and slides well in pass protection, and shows the ability to recover.
Weaknesses
Not huge and doesn't have much growth potential. Might have trouble with mammoth NTs.
Projection
Underrated prospect was the best center in the Big-12 and will make
a very nice mid-late round pick. Should be a starter down the road.

*Ford had a knee sprain in the final game, but I suspect him to be healthy come draft time. We might even be able to get him as UDFA. Prime candidate for PR/KR

[FONT=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]Scott Sicko, New Hampshire, has been named to the 2009 AFCA Football Championship Subdivision Coaches’ All-America Team as selected by the American Football Coaches Association.

43. ILB Micah Johnson 6'2"258lbs.(*returning for Senior season at Kentucky)
Heralded NFL prospects rarely come out of the University of Kentucky, but that's just what Johnson is doing. The Wildcats scored a major coup in getting Johnson more than three years ago, and his presence has paid off in a major way. The standout linebacker played in 13 games -- starting twice -- as a freshman and was selected to the SEC All-Freshmen Team by the conference's coaches. After a solid sophomore campaign, Johnson recorded 93 tackles as a junior and was a voted a First-Team All-SEC performer by the coaches. Through eight games in 2009 he had 66 tackles, six for loss. A versatile athlete, Johnson even has one touchdown run for his distinguished career. Johnson is an imposing physical specimen -- standing at 6'2'' and 258 pounds -- while being arguably the strongest player on the team. He has decent speed -- around 4.7 in the 40-yard dash -- but he still needs to improve in that area if he wants to be a star at the next level. Johnson is a huge hitter, especially when he gets a full head of steam behind him, but he struggles just a bit at changing direction so he sometimes has trouble against smaller, shiftier running backs. He is not, however, going to get overpowered. Injuries are a minor concern for Johnson, who was sidelined for one full game and part of another in 2008. He was dealing with an MCL midway through his senior season, so it remained to be seen how he finished out the season. Right now Johnson looks to be off the board early on Day 2 of the 2010 NFL Draft. However, his athleticism should provide for a stellar performance at the combine, so moving up is a very real possibility.

44. DE/LB Arthur Moats 6'2"248lbs.
At JMU he played in every game as a true freshman in '06, and compiled 18 tackles. As a sophomore, he played as part of the regular DE rotation and totaled 45 stop and 6.5 QBHs. In 2008 he was a starter throughout the season an was third-team All-CAA and second-team all-state by the Virginia Sports Information Directors Association. Arthur was also the team’s defensive lineman of the year and was No. 3 overall on the team and first among defensive linemen in tackles with 65. He tallied 25 solo stops and team highs of 15.5 tackles for loss and 11.5 quarterback sacks. Moats also broke up a pass and forced three fumbles.
Strengths
Ripped. Fast. Dedicated to his craft. Nice slap and go move. Chops the defender's hands off of him. Stays low and gets upfield very quickly. Times his jump off the snap. Very productive. Has some flexibility, and may be able to convert. Has become better against the run. Natural pass rusher who is in the mold of an Elvis Dumervil.
Weaknesses
Kind of a DE/OLB tweener with no certainty that he can play off the LOS. Short, and lacks some of the incredible explosion that some short NFL DEs of recent memory have exhibited. Still average at the POA in the run game. Can drop into coverage, and while he may be able to convert, he may always be somewhat of a liability in coverage.
Projection
4-5th round type talent who will probably be drafted later because of where he played, and because of the small school bias that still exists in some corners.

45. DT Martin Tevaseu 6'2"328lbs.(it's a pretty good article on the kid)
Tevaseu starting to turn some heads

Martin Tevaseu was walking Tuesday afternoon from the East-West Shrine Game practice field back to the locker room at the Citrus Bowl in Orlando, Florida. About a hundred feet away, standing next to a car, was Marty Schottenheimer, who was a NFL head coach for 21 years. Schottenheimer won 200 games and he won 61 percent of the time.
Schottenheimer is a NFL legend. Tevaseu had no reason to think Schottenheimer would notice him.
“I've been an underdog my whole life,” Tevaseu said. “I kinda like it that way. I know there were people around here saying to themselves, ‘Who is this kid?'”
In the North Bay we know this kid. We know he went to high school in Anderson Valley. We know he was a star at SRJC. We know Tevaseu is a boulder, 6-foot-2, 328 pounds, and once was even a bigger boulder, weighing 417 pounds. We know Tevaseu, a nose guard, has talent, prime-time talent, but we always wondered if he would display his max self, or would it stay hidden in that massive body.
So Tevaseu was walking back to the locker room when Schottenheimer saw him. The 66-year old coach left the parking lot, ran up to Tevaseu, introduced himself and then said the words Tevaseu will never forget.
“I want to tell you, son,” Schottenheimer said, “you are doing a hell of a job. A hell of a job.” Moments later Tevaseu took a step back to reflect.
Said Tevaseu: “Coming from him ... especially to an unknown guy ... wow ... I guess I'm turning people's heads.”
Since sports, at least the idealized version of it, is the penultimate meritocracy. Talent trumps all. Talent trumps background, bad breaks, personality conflicts, motivation lapses.
Talent is like water, it will seek and find its own level.
