New York Jets select justin Miller

he bursted onto the national scene as a true freshman in 2002 when he finished with eight interceptions and 17 passes defended. He also averaged 35.1 yards per kickoff return on 13 attempts. Miller was less consistent as a sophomore in 2003 and made fewer big plays, but he still finished with two interceptions and 15 PBU. Miller's up-and-down sophomore season has raised some questions about his overall consistency. He clearly made too many mental mistakes and had too many mental lapses. However, he bounced back strong as a junior when he finished with three INT's and nine PBU. He also averaged 33.1 yards per kickoff return and 13 yards per punt return with three combined touchdowns. Miller, an early entry, is a second-round cornerback prospect that could come off the board late in the first round as a result of his potential to double as an explosive return man.

Green Bay selects Terrence Murphy

Murphy is a former high school quarterback who wasted little time making the adjustment to the wide receiver position in college. He set a school record with 35 receptions as a true freshman in 2001 and he has gotten better each season since with more experience at the position. He finished strong as a senior in 2004 with 56 receptions for 756 yards and three touchdowns despite missing one game because of injury. His reception totals aren't overly impressive because of the system he plays in at Texas A&M, but he has been extremely productive from a comparative standpoint as the team's leading receiver in each of his final three seasons. Murphy also has potential as a return specialist in the NFL, as he finished 12th in the nation with an average of 27.2 yards per kickoff return.

Atlanta selects Jonathan Babineaux

Babineaux began his college career at fullback and started three games as a true freshman in 2000 before being moved to defensive end in the spring of 2001. He suffered a broken leg at the end of spring drills in 2001 that did not heal by the fall, so he took a medical redshirt year. Babineaux returned as an 11-game starter at DE in 2002 and moved to DT in 2003, where he started the first seven games before suffering another season-ending injury (knee). He finally stayed healthy for an entire season as a senior in 2004 and developed into one of the most disruptive defensive tackles in the country, finishing with 55 total tackles, 25 TFL and 11 sacks. Babineaux's upside is limited because of his lack of ideal size and concerns regarding his durability.

Colts just Selected Kelvin Hayden

he has the same credentials as pacman jones. But he is very raw at his postion.Hayden signed with Illinois out of high school but did not qualify academically, so he attended Joliet Junior College (IL). His team won the NJCAA national championship in 2001, when he finished with 42 receptions as a WR. He won the NJCAA Offensive Player of the Year in 2002, when he finished with 72 receptions en route to another national championship. Hayden transferred to Illinois in the fall of 2003 and started 10 games at WR (52 receptions for 592 yards and three TD's). He moved to cornerback in the spring of 2004, wound up starting all 11 games and finished with 71 tackles, four INT's and six PBU. Hayden is an intriguing developmental player with adequate size and speed, good natural athletic ability and terrific ball skills. He obviously lacks ideal experience at the DI-A level, not to mention only one year at the cornerback position.

San Diego selects Vincent Jackson

Jackson is a small-school prospect with exceptional size, good speed for his size, and impressive production at the DI-AA level. He has been a fulltime starter since his sophomore season in 2002. He had 66 receptions for 1,462 yards and 21 touchdowns as a junior in 2003 and 80 receptions for 1,382 yards and 11 TD's as a senior in 2004. Jackson also has some versatility because of his experience returning kickoffs and punts. There are obvious concerns about Jackson's transition to the NFL after playing at the DI-AA level in college. However, while he will need time to improve his consistency catching the football and route running skills, Jackson has the physical tools to make the jump. Jackson dominated the small-school level of competition, he had a strong showing at the Senior Bowl against much better competition.

What I dont understand is, Is he really better than Fred Gibson, or a tony brown? I just dont understand sometimes. whoever gets fred this late is going to get a steal.

Pittsburg selects Bryant Mcfadden

Very skilled CB. I like him alot. Down here in florida you see alot of Florida state and one thing I can tell you if you are a Pit fan is that you just picked up a great player who is a very hard worker. McFadden redshirted in 2000, played some as a sub-package DB as a redshirt freshman in 2001, and saw increased playing time as a nickel cornerback in 2002, when he finished with three interceptions. He played in 12-of-13 games and started nine as a junior in 2003. McFadden's draft stock soared during his breakout senior season. Heading into the 2004 season McFadden had a lot of upside but was considered nothing more than a mid-round prospect due to some durability problems and a lack of playmaking skills. McFaddan only had one interception during his senior season but he stayed healthy, started all 12 games and finished with a team-high 11 passes broken up. McFaddeen doesn't have elite speed or ball skills but he has excellent athleticism and leaping ability (40 ½ vertical jump), good size and outstanding tackling skills.

Philly selected Matt McCoy OLB

I remeber watching him aginst Michigan this year. Very good athlete and very smart player. McCoy red-shirted in 2001 and he started eight games in 2002. He became a fulltime starter in 2003, recording 125 tackles and three forced fumbles. McCoy finished with 13 tackles-for-loss and four sacks that year. He started 11 games in 2004, recording 90 tackles, forcing one fumble and blocking one kick. McCoy also recorded 9.5 tackles for loss and three sacks last year. McCoy added 14 pounds during the post season but his playing weight in college was closer to 220 pounds. He can get engulfed by bigger blockers and he has some durability concerns that could affect him on draft day. However, McCoy is an extremely intriguing late-Day 1 or early-Day 2 prospect because of his outstanding combination of speed, athletic ability, instincts, toughness and playmaking skills in coverage. If he can keep his weight on without losing speed and fluidity, McCoy could push for a starting WLB.

Baltimore makes a trade with new england

Baltimore selects adam terry

what a big boy, 6-8 330 pounds. wow.
Terry played in four games as a backup left tackle in his true freshman season in 2000 before taking over as the fulltime starter at left tackle for the Orange in 2001. He was a fulltime starter at that position from that point on and he finished with 34-consecutive starts to his credit. Terry still needs to improve his bulk and strength but his stock is skyrocketing following an impressive senior season. His technique is improved, he has the frame to get bigger and, most importantly, he is a very good athlete for a player with his frame. Terry may need time to develop physically but his upside as a potential starting left tackle in the NFL made him an attractive second round prospect.

49ers draft Frank Gore

Frank Gore is a very good story. If you are not fimilar with all he has been through you should look up his story. Gore played in eleven games as a true freshman providing excellent depth behind RB Clinton Portis in 2001. He tore the meniscus and anterior cruciate ligament in is right knee during Miami's 2002 spring practice and he took a medical red-shirt that year. Gore started five games in 2003 but a torn ACL in his left knee in 2003 forced him to miss the remainder of the season. He played in eleven games in 2004 rushing for 865 yards and eight touchdowns on 172 carries. Early in his career, Gore flashed the size, power and explosiveness of a potential first round pick but two major knee surgeries later he's nowhere near the same back that he once was. Gore doesn't show the same initial quickness, confidence in his cutting ability or acceleration in the open field that he once possessed.

St. Louis selects Oshiomogho Atogwe

Atogwe didn't get much national attention playing for a struggling Stanford program, but he has led the team in tackles the last three seasons and developed into an absolute playmaker, tallying nine interceptions, 11 forced fumbles and seven fumble recoveries over that same three-season span. As a senior in 2004, Atogwe started all 11 games and finished with 76 tackles, four TFL, four INT's and seven PBU. Atogwe has just decent overall cover skills and he lacks ideal size. However, his production, playmaking skills, toughness and tackling ability will be difficult to ignore late on Day 1. At the very least, Atogwe should develop into a versatile backup (FS and SS) and productive contributor on special teams in the NFL.

Cleveland selects Charlie Frye

rye, who has been a starter since his redshirt freshman season in 2001 and set the Zips' single season passing record in 2003 with 3,549 yards, seriously considered forgoing his senior year in order to make himself available for the 2004 NFL draft. Lee Owens, who recruited Frye and was the head coach at Akron for Frye's first three seasons, was fired at the end of the 2003 season, which was the main reason why Frye is contemplating the move. However, he made a wise decision to return to school for his senior season for a few good reasons  most importantly that he needed the extra experience that he got as a senior. Frye's supporting cast was not nearly as strong in 2004 as it was previously, but he showed a lot of toughness, durability and leadership skills.

Tennessee selects Courtney Roby

Roby played in 11 games and started three of them during his freshman season in 2001. He has been a fulltime starter since and developed into one of the Big Ten's most productive wide receivers as a senior in 2004, when he finished with 55 receptions for 810 yards and seven TD's. He also stood out in track as a senior, running the fastest 60-meter dash of any Hoosier sprinter in 2004. Roby doesn't have elite size or strength and he's still a little bit rough around the edges as a route runner. However, he has excellent speed and he continues to make significant strides with more experience. He is a developmental prospect that should make his biggest impact on special teams as a rookie but has the potential to develop into a Brandon Stokley-type No. 3 WR in the NFL if he continues to improve.



Plus his 4.33 forty doesnt hurt much does it?

Oakland selects Andrew Walter

Walter started two games as a freshman in 2001. He began the 2002 season as a backup but quickly took over the starting job and exploded onto the national scene with 3,877 passing yards and 28 touchdowns compared to 15 interceptions in coach Dirk Koetter's wide-open offensive attack. However, while Walter didn't play terribly as a junior in 2003, he did not make the progress that was expected. His supporting cast was not what it was in '02 when he had go-to WR Shaun McDonald and he also suffered an ankle injury against UCLA that forced him to miss one game and hindered him for the final three games. Walter was enjoying a bounce-back season as a senior in 2004 before suffering a season-ending shoulder injury versus Arizona. The injury required surgery and prevented him from participating in the Senior Bowl and from working out at the combine.

Tampa bay selects Alex Smith / TE/ Standford

Smith redshirted in 2000, played as a backup in 2001 and then started the final 10 games of the 2002 season when starter Brett Pierce was lost to an injury. Smith had a breakout season as a junior in 2003 when he averaged 16.8 yards on 24 receptions. After considering leaving a year early for the NFL draft, Smith elected to return to Stanford as a senior in 2004, where he was a fulltime starter and led the Cardinal with 53 receptions for 706 yards and three touchdowns. Smith has adequate size, good athletic ability, good durability, and is a proven playmaker as a receiver. Smith has continued to improve each season with more experience and he has the athleticism and pass-catching skills of a first-day selection.

Detroit Selects Stanley Wilson

Wilson redshirted in 2000 and he played in six games in 2001. He started 11 games in 2002 and seven of the 11 games he played in during the 2003 season. As a fulltime starter during his senior season in 2004, Wilson finished with 54 tackles, one interception and five passes broken up. Wilson possesses an outstanding combination of size, speed and agility but he is a developmental prospect that is a far better athlete than football player at this point. Consequently, Wilson is worth taking a chance on in the late-second or early-third round but any earlier would be a reach and too risky for such an unproved and unpolished prospect.
