Diehard Phinatic!
[h=4]1. Andrew Luck, QB, Stanford (1)[/h] Luck has better speed and athletic ability than expected. He has great concentration and the work habits that are needed to be a successful NFL quarterback. He completed 77.8 percent of his passes in the fourth quarter, which is 6 percent better than the next best QB in the draft, Brandon Weeden at 71.6. That's very telling of Luck's ability.
[h=4]2. Robert Griffin III, QB, Baylor (2)[/h] Griffin has great self-confidence and poise. He completed 67.2 percent of his passes on third down for 558 yards and five touchdowns. Against the blitz, he completed 62.5 percent of his passes for seven touchdowns and no interceptions. He had a quarterback rating of 187.6. He can be a special player.
[h=4]3. Matt Kalil, OT, USC (3)[/h] Kalil's father played in the NFL and his brother Ryan Kalil is presently an All-Pro with the Carolina Panthers. Matt's very light on his feet and has long 34.5-inch arms. He looks like a tight end playing the position and plays with a great deal of passion.
[h=4]4. Quinton Coples, DE, North Carolina (4)[/h] Coples has traits that led to success at his position. He ran a 4.8 and did 25 strength lifts. But he has played better on third down than on first or second. On third down, he had seven pressures; he had just five total on first and second down. He doesn't rate as high as Ryan Kerrigan or J.J. Watt did when they came out.
[h=4]5. Trent Richardson, RB, Alabama (6)[/h] Richardson surprised everybody when he ran 4.48 and had 25 strength lifts. He caught the ball with ease and had a great one-handed catch. He's a compact player with quickness and explosiveness, and he can be a good pass protector.
[h=4]6. Ryan Tannehill, QB, Texas A&M (7)[/h] Had a great workout on in front of 32 teams and moved well, especially to his left, which is not common for right-handed quarterbacks. He completed 65 of 68 passes, which included two drops. He had more drops last year during the regular season than any other quarterback.
[h=4]7. Morris Claiborne, CB, LSU (5)[/h] His long arms might be his best asset and he ran better than expected (4.4) at the LSU pro day. He can turn and run with receivers and has good ball skills, to go along with outstanding quickness.
[h=4]8. Melvin Ingram, DE, South Carolina (10)[/h] Can play three positions -- defensive end, tackle and linebacker. He was a high school running back with good running ability. He has a good motor with wide receiver speed.
[h=4]9. Luke Kuechly, LB, Boston College (11)[/h] Can play inside or outside and has great worth ethic. He had 4.58 speed and did 27 strength lifts with a 38-inch vertical, which tells you he's fast, strong and athletic. He makes tackles in the hole and still covers in space. He is a rare player who will be very good for a long time.
[h=4]10. Riley Reiff, OT, Iowa (8)[/h] Reiff has been well coached in fundamentals. He has very good quickness and footwork and was an outstanding wrestler in high school, going 131-1. He will play in the NFL for a long time.
[h=4]11. Dre Kirckpatrick, CB, Alabama (9)[/h] Kirkpatrick has good ball skills and can play press coverage. At 6-1 with 4.51 speed, he can turn and run with receivers and has good running and jumping ability.
[h=4]12. Michael Floyd, WR, Notre Dame (16)[/h] Floyd had a great workout when he brought back Jimmy Clausen to throw the ball to him. He caught 95 passes last year for 1,106 yards, but 557 of those came after the catch. He's very athletic, has long arms, good jumping ability and good long range potential.
[h=4]13. Justin Blackmon, WR, Oklahoma State (12)[/h] He's more advanced than Floyd at this point and can catch quick slants and has good ability after the catch. He was targeted on third down 32 times and made 25 catches that resulted in 19 first-down conversions.
[h=4]14. Michael Brokers, DT, LSU (21)[/h] Brokers has a big body with very good upper body strength, although he has not played a lot of football. He's about a year away from reaching his full potential as a defensive lineman. This guy is a very big man.
[h=4]15. David DeCastro, OG, Stanford (14)[/h] DeCastro is the prototypical lineman at 6-5 and 316 pounds. He did 34 strength lifts. He can pull and lead and is also good in pass protection, similar to Steve Hutchinson, who has made more Pro Bowls than anyone else in his 2001 draft class.
[h=4]16. Courtney Upshaw, LB, Alabama (17)[/h] Upshaw ran a 4.74 at 279 pounds. I think his best position is defensive end, and I don't think he has enough ability to play linebacker in the NFL.
[h=4]17. Dontari Poe, DT, Memphis (13)[/h] Prior to the combine, he was 51st on this lsit. He's very small but did 44 strength lifts and ran under 5.0 in the 40. He played better at the end of the season. He doesn't seem to play hard on every down but that might be because he doesn't have that good of recognition. This is a take-a-chance player -- he could be great or end up like Albert Haynesworth.
[h=4]18. Janoris Jenkins, CB, North Alabama (15)[/h] Jenkins is an excellent football player. He's very smooth in coverage and has good speed, long arms and plays taller than his size at 5-10. But his off-field issues may prevent him from being drafted.
[h=4]19. Mark Barron, S, Alabama (26)[/h] Barron had a really good workout the other day. He's very smart and gets people lined up in place on defense. He ran a 4.54 but wasn't completely healthy. He has excellent ball skills and will tackle.
[h=4]20. Fletcher Cox, DT, Mississippi State (25)[/h] I probably should rate him higher and might still when I do my final Hot 100 during draft week. He's a good inside player and plays hard every down. He'll be a very steady NFL player.
