Early Analysis based on scouting reports and draft boards
1st- 2nd Round: Mahelona, Haralson, Allen
3rd- 4th Round: Simon, Riggs
5th- 6th Round: Gaither, Douglas
7th Round: Hall
Jesse Mahelona is undersized at his position, but he is force as a pass rusher, which NFL teams love, so he will be either a first round or early 2nd round pick, depending on how many DTs are taken.
Parys Haralson is a beast coming off the edge, and at 6'2 he also lacks ideal size, but is a solid pass rusher which is highly valued in the NFL (see Dwight Freeney). He is also the active leader in the SEC in sacks, so I look for him to be a mid 2nd round pick. Will probably stay at DE, but depending on the defensive scheme, could make the move to OLB.
Due to the lack of depth at CB in this years draft right now Jason Allen is a 2nd to 3rd round draft pick. He has a chance to move up as high as the first round depending on how well he recovers and what he does at the combine. Based on the team's needs he could move to safety.
Kevin Simon has a nose for the ball and is prone to making plays, and probably has more tackles this year then he has been given credit for. It seems he has fully recovered from the injuries that plagued him earlier in his career, and was playing like the star we all knew he was. From most boards I have seen he is in the top 10 for MLB which translates to mid 3rd or 4th round, but coud drop if teams are wary due to his past.
The RB crop this year is very weak and NFL scouts like Gerald Riggs body and pedigree so look for him to be drafted anywhere from the 4th to 6th round. He can improve his stock dramatically if he makes a full recovery and has an impressive showing at the combine.
Omar Gaither has good size and strength, but more importantly is very intelligent and has a high football IQ. He is not the fastest or most athletic OLB in the draft, but the fact that he consistently puts himself in a position to make plays, will ultimately land him in the late 4th to early 5th range.
Cody Douglas has NFL size, and he has been a rock for the most part on our OL for the past 3 seasons. He has good technique and will probably go somewhere in the 5th-6th round.
Jason Hall had a stellar senior campaign after being dormant for most of his career, but a lot of that was due to the double teams Mahelona recieved and the attention that was paid to Haralson. Still he was a big part of our DL, so if he is drafted he projects to be either a late 6th or 7th round pick.
Albert Toeania had a chance to be drafted late on the 2nd day because he has elite size and has shown flashes of being a solid T, but he hurt his stock with his behavior and erratic play. He has been labeled a behavior hazard by scouts and if he does make a team, it will likely be from the 6th to 7th round or as an undrafted free agent.
Chris Hannon will get a look because he is 6'4 and will probably run a sub 4.4 40 at the combine, and could be signed as an undrafted free agent.
CJ Fayton andJason Mitchell could both make practice squads.
If Justin Harrell or Rob Smith declare for the draft early the highest they both go would probably be the 4th round.
