#1 | Gerald McCoy DT, Oklahoma
Sooners Though scouts are split on
which defensive tackle should go first, McCoy gets the nod because of
his age and technique. McCoy’s first step is devastating, and he has
a full array of pass rush moves at his disposal. At 295 lbs., McCoy
possesses adequate bulk and height for his position. What sets McCoy
apart is his quickness off the line. He is one of the best in the
country
at anticipating a snap and exploding on the line, and combined with
his exceptionally quick hands, it allows him to blow by interior linemen
before they have a chance to catch up. When he is engaged at the line,
McCoy shows strong initial leverage and generally drives guards and
centers back initially. Though he doesn’t possess elite height and
weight, McCoy knows how to use his body to generate the maximum push
from his pads, and he is strong enough to fight through double teams
and disengage quickly. Against the run, McCoy is adept at penetrating
into the backfield and disrupting backs. Though he isn’t ideally suited
as a two-gap tackle in a 3-4 scheme due to his weight, he is stronger
than he appears and that aids him well in the running game. As a pass
rusher, McCoy is devastating. His hands are powerful and that allows
him to rip, club, and swim through blockers. Once past blockers, McCoy
is quick to the passer and knows how to translate speed to power. He
is savvy beyond his years, and he’s shown the ability to set up interior
linemen from play to play. McCoy was a team captain at Oklahoma, and
served as the president of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, so
his character is impeccable. Though he did suffer through nagging injuries in his career, he missed just one game in his college career due to injury. McCoy has drawn comparisons to Warren Sapp as a pass-rushing interior lineman, but the truth is that McCoy may be a better player than Sapp was, and will certainly be less of a headache to coach. --J.D. Jackson 2009 Stats

#2 | Ndamukong Suh DT, Nebraska Cornhuskers The case can
certainly be made for Ndamukong Suh (pronounced- En-dom-ah-ken Soo) being the better DT than Gerald McCoy. Suh had one
of the most dominating games in memory for a defensive tackle in the
2009 Big 12 Championship game against Texas, recording 12 tackles, 7
tackles for a loss, and 4 ½ sacks. He was a consensus First-team
All-American,
Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year, 2009 Associated Press Player of
the Year, 2009 Lombardi Award winner, and a runner-up for the Heisman
Trophy. That would be quite the resume for any defensive player, but
even more so for an interior lineman. Suh possesses rare upper-body
strength for an interior lineman, and it shows on his game film. Suh
relies on his bull-rush move, and in college it served him extremely
well. Although Suh is the more powerful of the two, a notable difference between him and McCoy is Suh’s lack of finesse
pass-rushing moves. Suh may have racked up the sacks in college, but
odds are he’ll have a harder time finding the quarterback in the NFL
because he is not explosive. That said, his upper-body strength allows
him to collapse the pocket on a consistent basis, and at 6’4”, he’ll
be a threat to bat down passes at the line. He makes an impact on nearly
every play because of his tendency to disrupt passing windows. Once
he makes it through the line, his top-end speed is excellent for his
size and height, and he closes well on the QB. While Suh is a factor
against the pass, his strength comes in playing against the run. His
instincts are uncanny, and he is disciplined in his gap assignment.
His strength is in standing up a lineman, diagnosing a play, and
releasing
quickly to disrupt the run. Suh is light on his feet and plays down
the line to allow him to make plays out on the edge. He rarely finds
himself off balance, and almost never finds himself off his feet. He
is not a space-eater, so like McCoy, he will not play well in a 3-4
scheme as a nose tackle. Suh is passionate about the game as well, and his motor is second to none. Coaches have raved about his character, especially during game situations. --J.D. Jackson 2009 Stats

#3 | Eric Berry FS, Tennessee Volunteers Safeties used
to get overlooked in the early part of the first round rather
frequently.
The top safeties in the league today, Ed Reed and Troy Polamalu, both
went in the latter half of the first round. From Sean Taylor in 2004
to Michael Huff and Donte Whitner in 2006 to LeRon Landry in 2007, a
safety going in the top-10 picks isn’t a rare occurrence anymore.
That said, Eric Berry may be the best of the bunch. About the only knock
on Berry is the lack of ideal size, so let’s get that out of the way
now. Despite that shortcoming, Berry is a reliable open-field tackler
with a rare explosiveness that generates an impressive drive, allowing
him to knock back larger ball carriers. That’s not to say that Berry
throws his body around unnecessarily. Berry uses his arms to bring down
tacklers well, and he understands his role as the last line of defense.
He maximizes his speed by taking great angles to the ball carrier,
minimizing
the amount of yards given up. His range is excellent due to his very
good speed and outstanding instincts. Against the run, he quickly
diagnoses
plays and is able to get downhill quickly to limit yardage. He stands
up runners long enough to allow backers and linemen to come in and
finish
off the tackle, and in that sense he’s an extremely good team defender.
Against the pass, Berry further excels. His read and react skills are
off the charts. He is willing to wait and diagnose the play fully before
making his move and is rarely fooled by play action or misdirection,
and he is almost never beaten over the top. He reads screens well, but
waits until the quarterback releases the ball to accelerate to the ball,
allowing him to cut off any fakes or jukes by the back. Berry can defend
in man or zone coverage with equal skill. In man coverage, Berry times
his leaps perfectly against taller wide outs and rarely gets flagged
for pass interference. He mirrors receivers routes well and is smooth
and fluid in his backpedal. In zone, he understands the weak spots in
coverage and what receivers and quarterbacks will do to exploit it,
and he arrives to the ball quickly. His closing skills are exceptional,
and while shorter than the position calls for, Berry knows the best
time to make a break on the ball for an interception. Once he has the
ball, Berry is fast and dangerous in the open field. He’s not just
in the Ed Reed mold. He may break it. --J.D. Jackson 2009 Stats

#4 | Sam Bradford QB, Oklahoma Born November 8, 1987 > Draft Day Age=22.4 Ht./Wt...6-4/235 Composite Review... Bradford, a former Heisman Trophy winner, is the leading candidate to be selected #1 overall in the draft. The talented QB continued to elevate his game the year after winning the Heisman, and left a very good impression on both scouts and test-givers at the combine and his pro-day workout. Featuring prototypical size and instincts for the position, scouts are somewhat divided on his true upside. Most see a very smart player with good leadership qualities, a solid -if not great- arm, good game-management qualities, solid pocket presence, and excellent accuracy... heck, even Gil Brandt, the former Dallas Cowboys exec, compared Bradford to Troy Aikman after seeing Bradford at his pro-day workout. But detractors feel that Bradford is overrated, and offers little more than becoming a decent pro... not worthy of a #1 pick. Bradford can struggle at times with pocket awareness, having trouble picking up the oncoming rush. There is also fair concern over the shoulder injury that derailed his recent season. Though he has looked great, teams must have some hesitation, as shoulder injuries are terrible for QB's in particular. Another Troy Aikman, or another Alex Smith? We'll know soon enough. --Greg Pappas 2009 Stats
|
#5 | Russell Okung OT, Oklahoma State Cowboys Okung headlines one of the deepest pools of offensive linemen in recent memory, and he certainly comes with an impressive resume. Okung received unanimous 2009 All-American honors, was the Big 12 Offensive Lineman of the Year, and was a finalist for the 2009 Outland Trophy. He was also the only offensive lineman listed on the 2009 Lombardi Award watch-list. The list of competitors that he has shut down is impressive, and it includes the highly-rated Sergio Kindle from Texas. Okung grew into his frame through his collegiate career and now possesses prototypical left tackle bulk. For his size, Okung possess near-elite straight-line speed and ran a 5.17 40-yard dash. As a run blocker, Okung takes consistently good angles and shows impressive force on initial contact. He has long arms, strong hands, and a strong upper-body that allows him to latch onto and control defenders. He shows above-average strength as a drive blocker. On the move, he reaches the second level quickly and shows talent at hitting moving targets. Occasionally, Okung will show difficulty sustaining blocks, but that’s usually a hand-use issue and can be coached up. As a pass blocker, Okung is an elite player. He shows great balance and awareness. He gets set quickly in pass protection and can slide over to defenders quickly due to his near-elite footwork and lateral quickness. He tends to push defenders to the outside before shutting down the perimeter, and uses his upper body strength and hands to keep separation. Okung plays with a significant mean-streak, much in the mold of Michael Oher, and works to the whistle. He was the picture of durability in college, playing in 34-straight games to close his college career at Oklahoma State. --J.D. Jackson |
#6 | Derrick Morgan DE, Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets Derrick Morgan headlines a somewhat lean draft for edge pass rushers, but that shouldn’t be seen as a knock on him at all. In fact, for being 21-years old, Morgan is a significantly developed defensive end and certainly is further along than the next highest rated pass rusher, Jason Pierre-Paul. Morgan isn’t an elite speed rusher, but he uses a combination of speed and power to be effective as a pass rusher. He plays with outstanding leverage and body lean, and he uses a wide array of moves that one would expect an NFL vet to use. Morgan plays with a relentless motor against the pass and will play to the whistle. He closes quickly and is an explosive hitter, sure to make some highlight reels with the force in which he takes down a quarterback. Morgan spent most of his junior season at Georgia Tech double teamed, and that’s allowed him to learn how to fight through a double team with impressive effectiveness, as evidenced by his 12.5 sacks in 2009. Against the run, Morgan keeps himself anchored at the point of attack. He stays low and uses his upper body strength to keep separation from offensive linemen, usually tackles. Morgan is able to disengage from tackles quickly because of his strong and quick hands, and that allows him to close quickly on a ball carrier. While he’s an above-average athlete for his size, he’s certainly not the typical speed-rushing hybrid style DE that the NFL has seen a steady stream of over the past few years. This will hurt his draft stock. He won’t be suited well to being an outside linebacker in a 3-4 front, at least not full-time, though he certainly can drop back in coverage on occasion as he is agile and fluid in his movements. He won’t be a liability in coverage in a zone blitz scheme. Georgia Tech would occasionally use Morgan in coverage on a TE, and would even slide him to inside linebacker to show offenses different looks and to keep blockers off of him. This shows Morgan’s versatility, even if his speed numbers and athleticism might not be ideal for the position. Despite that, Morgan is by far the most polished defensive end prospect in this draft, and could make an impact quickly if used in a 4-3 scheme. --J.D. Jackson 2009 Stats
|
#7 | Joe Haden CB, Florida Born April 14, 1989 > Draft Day Age=21.0 Ht./Wt...5-11/190 Composite Review... Haden is considered the top corner in the draft, and despite some concerns over his instincts, most agree that he's capable of being a top-flight NFL CB. Fluid actions, good speed, high productivity, solid skills versus the run, good 'ball in air' reactions, fierce determination and confidence are all bullet points required to make a great corner... and Haden has it in abundance. He covers well on an island, and has been used to shut down the opposing team's top receiver. Haden also fares well on blitz packages, and is seen as not only smart, but a tough competitor as well. Haden is not the prototypical size for a corner, listed at 5'11, but some feel he's a tad shorter than that. Taller NFL receivers may produce a tough match-up for Haden, though he has most often risen to the occasion at the college level. Haden can have trouble in his technique, getting turned around against good route runners... a skill he'll need to improve at the next level. Despite the detractors, Haden just turned 21... just two weeks before the draft... and many feel he has plenty more upside, and should make a good pro, if not a very good one. --Greg Pappas 2009 Stats |
#8 | Bryan Bulaga OT, Iowa Bulaga is not as athletic as some other prior first round OT's, and his arm length has drawn concerns, but Bulaga will get his name called in round one because of what he is: a very good lineman. Bulaga is a very technically sound player, as good a pass protector as there is in this draft, and he plays with a tough demeanor that is a real plus at the next level. He sets the edge quickly, shows a good understanding of blocking schemes and takes the right angles on his blocks. His strength is not elite, but solid, as once he locks on his target, he usually finishes him off. He's also a good run-blocker, though he has had difficulties in space. Speed rushers could be hard for him to handle. Bulaga has a thyroid condition that limited him before, so there is that to monitor, and he has battled some injuries... though most football players have. Regardless, durability could creep into the thought processes of scouts and team execs when evaluating the former Hawkeye. Bulaga presents some risk, and he may eventually project better to RT, but the team that takes him will make every effort to put him at LT, with the goal of locking down that spot for the next 5-10 years.
|
#9 | Earl Thomas The first word that comes to mind when you talk about Earl Thomas is “physical”. At 5-10, 197, Thomas isn't the ideal build for the position, but he plays with reckless abandon. That might take its toll on the youngster, who may be better suited to play corner given his strong cover skills. While anchoring the Longhorns' back four, Thomas racked up 134 tackles, 10 interceptions, and five forced fumbles in just two seasons in Austin. Whether he projects as a safety or corner may in fact depend on what team drafts him and what position they seem him best suited to play. --Michael Seff 2009 Stats |

#14 | Trent Williams |
#15 | Dan Williams DT, Tennessee Volunteers Born June 1, 1987 > Draft Day Age=22.9
Ht./Wt...6-3/327
Composite Review... Dan Williams has shot up draft boards, going from at one time a possible late first/early second round pick, to now a probable top 15, possible top 10. He won't be the largest defensive lineman to go off the board, but he still has very nice size at 6-3, 327 lbs. He's a very powerful player, as evidenced by his 27 reps on the bench (225 lbs.) at the combine, and will be very difficult for offensive linemen to block for a long time. While not a guy that will rack up a lot of sacks, he is seen as an excellent run stopper and has shown a strong ability to read defenses and disrupt running lanes, and features solid quickness for a man his size. His job as a nose tackle in the NFL will not be to compile tackles or sacks, but it's worth noting that he did lead all SEC Defensive Linemen in tackles in 2009 with 62. Whether Williams is drafted into a 3-4 or 4-3, he is likely to have the size and strength to demand a double team in both. One of the knocks on Williams is that he appears to tire easily and possibly lacks effort at times. Conditioning could be an issue, but it appears physically he is perfect for the role of run stuffer, so he may just need the occasional play or two off. KC Joyner, doing a Football Lab for ESPN referred to Williams as "the most inconsistent player I have ever reviewed". Clearly, he might be a bit of a project player. A lot of people view him as a player who could develop into a top nose tackle, or be stuck in mediocrity: boom or bust. --Adam Wolff 2009 Stats

#16 | Mike Iupati OG, Idaho Vandals Born May 12, 1987 > Draft Day Age=22.9
Ht./Wt...6-6/330
Composite Review...
Iupati does have a tendency to play too tall at times, allowing defenders the ability to get up under his pads. He's a strong player, but given his size, probably not as strong as you might expect, which leads to him sometimes getting pushed around a bit. At times, he gets a bit too reliant and his long arms and ends up reaching, showing that he's still a little raw as a player. One of the real concerns though is that coming out of Idaho, the talent he played against was clearly not that of a stronger football conference. That said, he was still a consensus All-American and a finalist for the Outland Trophy, which is awarded to the best interior lineman by the Football Writers Association of America.

#23 | Everson Griffen DE, USC Trojans
Born December 22, 1987 > Draft Day Age=22.3
Ht./Wt... 6-3/280
Composite Review...
Everson Griffen has elected to skip his senior year at USC to enter the draft, after posting a very solid Junior campaign, logging 44 tackles and a team leading 8 sacks. The numbers were good enough to earn him a spot on the PAC-10 All Conference Second Team. Griffen has a nice combination of power and speed, finishing in the Top 10 in the bench press (32 reps) and 40 yard dash (4.66) among defensive linemen at the combine. Ability wise, he is one of the top DEs of the 2010 class. He uses his hands well, and is very quick and powerful off the edge. He is an elite athlete that can stuff the run as well as pressure the quarterback very well. As mentioned, he had an excellent combine, and his natural ability has wowed scouts thus far. He's a prototypical DE for a 4-3 defense, and even shows glimpses of being able to successfully drop into coverage.
Griffen is not without his baggage though. Whichever team takes him will likely have to live with the fact that sometimes the effort just doesn't seem to be there. He is one of the more inconsistent players in the draft, sometimes looking like a real game changer, and other times being nearly invisible. Physically, it's all there, but mentally, it's a bit of a question mark. He's had some off the field issues, and his character has also been questioned. If he can put it together mentally, he has all the tools to be very successful. The lack of consistency could have him fall into the second round, and his draft position will primarily be determined by what decision scouts ultimately come to about what kind of a person he is and whether or not he can mature enough to realize is full potential.

#24 | Bruce Campbell OT, Maryland Terrapins
Born May 25, 1988 > Draft Day Age=21.9
Ht./Wt... 6-7/310
Composite Review...
Had Bruce Campbell played in a program that had more success, it's likely he would have gained more personal honors than he did. Still, he started a season and a half at Maryland, and helped running back Da'Rel Scott go over 1000 yards during his sophomore year. He had one of the most impressive all around combines, ranking in the top 10 in the bench press, vertical jump, 3 cone drill, 20 yard shuttle, and 40 yard dash, which he placed first in out of all offensive linemen. At 6-7, he clearly has the size of an NFL tackle, and his 36 1/4 arm length is excellent for controlling defenders. He has good technique as a whole, but can get a bit lazy with it at times. He has shown that he can block in a man and zone scheme, possibly giving him an upper hand over other 2010 OTs. He's a strong, lean tackle that has displayed above average quickness and the ability to move well in space.
As with many players in this year's draft, Campbell is a bit inconsistent. His technique can be very good at times, and a bit spotty other times. There is also a durability issue, as he's never played a full college season, so the 16 game NFL season could be an issue for him. He's a natural left tackle, and although he has excellent upper body strength, he could stand to improve his lower body strength for competing against NFL defenders. Still, he's arguably the most athletic OT in the draft, and has all the physical tools to be an impact player right away.
--Adam Wolff

#25 | Anthony Davis OT, Rutgers
Born October 11, 1989 > Draft Day Age=20.5
Ht./Wt...6-6/325
Composite Review...
Davis is another offensive tackle with exactly the physical build scouts look for. He's a large imposing force at 6-6, 325 pounds, and has used that size to position himself as one of the top OTs in this draft. He had an up and down season in 2009, anchoring the Rutgers offensive line and having a successful season as a whole, however it could be seen as a bit of a step backwards from his Sophomore year. He also was benched at one point in the year for being late to a team lunch. He's large, even for an OT, but still has above average athleticism and moves well in space. He's been excellent as both a pass blocker and run blocker, even playing guard his Freshman year, giving him more experience than most with pulling and trapping. At times he has trouble bending at his knees, especially as fatigue sets in, but still as good balance as a whole. He's got good upper and lower body strength, and is excellent at keeping his feet moving throughout his blocks.
He's been benched on 2 occasions, one mentioned already, for violating team rules, which could be a bit of a red flag for scouts. If his technique continues to evolve, he could be a top notch tackle in the league. There are some questions about whether or not he has the quickness to stay at left tackle, or if he may be suited better as a right tackle, or even a guard. He also has had a few weight issues, which would be a situation that would require monitoring by whichever team calls his name on draft day. He had the flu and missed his pro day, which although it was no fault of his own, can't look great to scouts. Still, he already has an NFL ready body, so you can bet that he will go some time late first/early second in this year's draft.

#26 | Maurkice Pouncey C, Florida Gators
Born July 24, 1989 > Draft Day Age=20.7
Ht./Wt...6-5/318
Composite Review...
Pouncey has the optimal body for an interior lineman. At 6-5, 318 lbs., he is exactly the kind of big body that NFL coach’s dream of to anchor their offensive line. Don’t be fooled by the size though; He is one of the quickest and most agile centers in this year’s draft. A 3 year starter at Florida, Pouncey has demonstrated the ability to do just about anything he was asked to do. He’s comfortable with power and finesse plays, and is equally strong in run blocking and pass blocking. He has a quick first step, allowing him to get into his setup quickly. He moves well in space, and can also act as a nice complimentary piece whenever help blocking. He slides well, allowing him to easily pick up blitzes from multiple lanes. Pouncey is an experienced, all around player. He’s got excellent poise, and doesn’t appear to get confused by defensive shifts or audibles. He is a natural leader, and was in charge of making all the calls for the Florida offensive line. In 2009 he was awarded the Rimington Award, given to the nation’s top center. While there really aren't many weak aspects to his game, he could stand to improve his strength a bit, although he's probably stronger than he looks. Also, most of his snaps came out of the shotgun, so he might have to refine his snap technique a bit. He also underwent surgery on a torn labrum, which is a situation worth monitoring. That aside. the flaws in his game are greatly outnumbered by his strengths, so look for Pouncey to be the first center off the board in 2010. --Adam Wolff |
#27 | Brian Price
DT, UCLA Bruins
Born April 10, 1989 > Draft Day Age=21
Ht./Wt...6-2/300
Composite Review... Price is a very nice all around player with a lot of upside. He is an excellent pass rusher, as evidenced by his 7 sacks his junior year, using an explosive first step off the ball to get to the quarterback. Against the run, he is able to get into the backfield quickly, having 22 tackles for a loss in 2009. Physically, he's a little short for the position, but he makes up for it with his strengths in other areas. He's a relentless player that is thought of as having a good character and good intangibles. Price is a versatile player, with experience playing at nose tackle, under tackle, and defensive end, so a creative defensive coordinator will have the option of using him a few different ways. He has excellent upper body strength (his 34 reps on the bench press tied for 3rd amongst defensive linemen), but he needs to improve strength in his lower body. The lack of lower body strength leads to him having problems once he gets engaged with offensive linemen. Despite showing off his strength for coaches at the combine, he also proved to be a bit slower than many thought, running his 40 in 5.13 seconds. His upper body is clearly NFL ready, but until he is able to get a better push from his lower half, he'll struggle with NFL offensive lines. That said, he had an excellent 2009 at UCLA, being named the PAC-10 Defensive Player of the Year, and has the upside to develop into a very good tackle in the NFL. His game fits a 4-3 defense much better than a 3-4, which might limit interest from some teams, but the upside he possesses will have him not waiting very long to hear his name called on Draft Day.
