Here are some intriguing prospects that could fit well next year. This list is all based on measurables and production, I'm wondering if anyone has seen them play to see how they stack up.

WR:
Kenny Britt- Rutgers- 6'4" 215 4.54
Tall, has been very productive, will be Rutger's all-time leading receiver in a week. What is the most intriguing is how he looks to run after the catch, as seen in two Youtube videos, in which he was going against Cincy (Mike Mickens and another good CB) and Conn. (Darius Butler, who seemed to be on him pretty good all game, at CB). Supposedly we had scouts at his last game watching him

Marko Mitchell- Nevada- 6'4" 208 4.49
Another big WR. Doesnt play against the greatest competition but puts up really good stats. Also, we went there last year with Shawn Murphy so they probably already have good tape on him

TE:
John Phillips- Virginia- 6'6" 250 4.8
There are some very good TE's this year, which will push decent ones to the later rounds. This is his first year starting (sat behind Heath Miller and Tom Santi) but has 46 catches through 9 games. And he's supposedly a good blocker

RT:
Fenuki Tupou- Oregon- 6'5" 330
Supposedly a beast and moving up draft boards. Could be why Max Unger was moved to C, for he was a OT

Ryland Reed- Texas Tech- 6'7 315
TT is playing great right now, he could be a BIG part of that. Supposedly holds the school record with 625 pound bench and is really athletic

C:
Dallas Reynolds- BYU- 6'5" 325
Walterfootball.com says "In addition to having solid workout numbers, Dallas Reynolds can play four positions on the line. He's also reliable; Reynolds has 37 consecutive starts."

NT:
BJ Raji- BC- 6'1" 315
I know he's highly regarded, just wanna know if anyone has seen him back up his reputation?

Boo Robinson- Wake Forest- 6'2" 325
Only a junior and might not declare, but plays NT and is supposedly really quick off the ball, strong at the POA, and collects sacks

Myron Pryor- Kentucky- 6'1" 310
Leads team with 3.5 sacks and returned a fumble 72 yards against Louisville

ILB:
Jasper Brinkley- South Carolina- 6'2" 265 4.6
I know he was a 1st rounder before he tore his ACL last year, wondering how he has rebounded?

Worrell Williams- Cal- 6'1" 250 4.6
He's short, but Cal switched to the 3-4 and he's supposedly playing really well. Sideline to sideline player that hits hard

OLB:
Connor Barwin- Cincy- 6'4" 255 4.6
He is really moving up draftboards. He converted this year from TE to DE, so you know he's athletic, and leads Cincy with 7 sacks, has 9.5 TFL, 7 pass break ups, and 3 blocked kicks. He's been a special teams standout for a couple of years. Just sounds like he is what this front office looks for. It could be 2 years before he's a force at OLB, but could be worth it

Larry English- Norther Illinois- 6'3" 255 4.7
Has 22.5 sacks the past two years

CB:
Kevin Barnes- Maryland- 6'1" 188 4.43
Broke his shoulder, so he's done for the year. Really aggressive corner who comes up and hits. Wondering if he's a good cover guy though?

Keenan Lewis- Oregon State- 6'1" 198 4.46
Experienced starter who supposedly is very physical

FS:
C.J. Spillman- Marshall- 6' 195 4.45
Lead Marshall with 131 tackles last year


So which of these guys live up to their stats?
 
many good players there give me any gamer :)
 
kenny britt is tight, but im very high on greg carr, he's 6'6 and an FSU boy, he's not the fastest but jumps high and is a great blocker too...
 
My favorites of that list.

DT B.J. Raji - Very, very good DT.

WR Kenny Britt - Great size. great hands. Very good athlete.

Ehh, I've seen Carr for four years, he's just a redzone threat. I guess you need specialty players like that but I'm wondering if these two could be the complete package WR?

I'd say Kenny Britt could be an excellent wide receiver in the NFL....has the skills to be a 1a wide receiver at the next level...reminds me of Amani Toomer in his prime.

Carr...not so much. Tall...jumpball threat....although he has improved as a receiver.
 
britt and raji are the 2 guys that stand out to me of that group. i like both as 2nd rounders
