I don't see another thread like this, so maybe we can get some names rolling in the last days before the draft. This is from a different post to get things rolling:

1. LB Alex Wahl

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MoMYH8g0Dp4

2. LB Steven Daniels

3. DE Justin Zimmer

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZsQr0X6EsF8

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZsQr0X6EsF8

6-3 303 lbs. 4.89 40 and 33" vertical at regional combine

Alex Wahl an interesting LB, not much film on him but I like what I saw. Daniels and Zimmer mentioned by other posters, very intriguing imo- Pats looking at Daniels, not sure who's looking at Zimmer but he's quite an athlete and has a burst as a 300 lb. DE.
 
LB- Myke Tavarres - Incarnate Word
http://www.hudl.com/athlete/535050/highlights/325027381

This kid is an animal. Used and plays similarly to Darron Lee & Myles Jack, obviously not the same athlete but his explosion and ability to make plays pops off the screen. Was also used effectively as a kick returner. Would love to see us grab him in round 6-7.

I read about him a while back, didn't know he went to Arkansas. Nice athlete, good call.

I love Zimmer. I think he gets drafted way higher than people expect. 7.01-cone at 300+ lbs. Z-score of 2.1, 99th percentile. 216 tackles, 38+ TFL, 26 sacks, 9 FF's.
 
LB - Travis Feeney and RB Dwayne Washington both from the University of Washington are two players I like late. I also like TE Tyler Higbee (W. Kentucky) and WR's Robby Anderson (Temple), Cody Core (Mississippi), Ricardo Louis (Auburn) and Mitch Matthews (BYU). There are several backs that I like, I love the speed and elusiveness of Tyler Ervin (San Jose) and Jhurell Pressley (New Mexico) and the power of Elijhaa Penny (Nevada). There are several other backs I wouldn't mind having in camp too.

Kaivarae Russell is a later round pick I like.

He looks pretty good, decent size, smooth in back pedal and when he turns his hips, kind of a poor man's Mackenzie, Alexander, hyper focused on his man not so much the field. Speed is ok, recovers on the play at 2:45 of the clip nicely, but then a much taller John Burt blows right by him. I like Russell, don't love him, if I'm looking for a late round CB I'd probably go with Anthony Brown from Purdue, same size at 5-11 190 lbs. and looks quite a bit faster.

I still think that Deiondre Hall is one to keep an eye out for with that height and long arms, good candidate as a press corner for us. Artie Burns has very long arms for a CB at 33 1/4" and Hall's are just stupid at 34 3/8". Wouldn't surprise me if Seattle drafts Burns in the 1st rd and Hall in the mid rounds.

I like Ronald Blair, another DE I've been keeping an eye on is Charles Tapper from Oklahoma, about 6-4 260 with 4.6 speed. He was asked to play more contain at Oklahoma, plays the run well and can get after the QB.

I'd like to see Blair work as a 3-tech or a penetrating 5. Very good length (34" arms) relative to his height, and he has good burst - 1.63 10-YS, same as Aaron Donald. From the DT spot, he made multiple plays in the backfield against Clemson. He's very strong for 284 lbs, and his length and explosive burst give OG's a lot of issues. While I see him holding up well in the run game as a 4-3 DE, he'll be more disruptive inside.

Agreed on Tyler Ervin, natural replacement for Lamar Miller imo, another home run hitter with 4.4 speed, similar size, good back to pair with Ajayi. I like Feeney, rangy and lanky OLB with speed. Similar to FSU OLB Terrance Smith, another tall and rangy OLB I like:

Ervin has bulked up tp 192 pounds, while Miller was 225 pounds, so I wouldn't say they're the same size, however I think Ervin would provide a team with a player that is a threat to make a big play everytime he touches the ball. He's a good receiver out of the back field who also returns kickoffs and punts.
