Chicago (from
trade) Ervin Baldwin, DE Michigan State
A nice player, but nothing special, Baldwin got on the map
with a big pro day running a 4.62. While he doesn't have the
ideal size, he's an interesting pass rushing prospect who needs
to develop into a more complete player. Worth a flier, he'll
have to show right away in camp that he can get into the
backfield.

Green Bay
(from trade) Matt Flynn, QB LSU
A total gamer who has a great arm and good running skills. He's
a fantastic leader and a winner who'll do whatever it takes to
get a team moving. However, he needs work and he isn't a
consistent NFL-caliber passer. Smart enough to be a career
backup, he'll make a lot of money bouncing around the league for
ten years.

Kansas City Brian
Johnston, DE Gardner-Webb
At 6-5 and 271 pounds he's a big end who was ultra-productive at
the lower level earning the Big South Defensive Player of the
Year honor two seasons in a row. He's not fast and he needs a
lot of developing and polish, and even then he likely won't have
NFL skills.

NY Jets
Nate Garner, OT Arkansas
HUGE. At 6-6 and 335 pounds, he has the size to be a powerful
right tackle and could even be moved inside a little bit, but
he's a developmental prospect. With no athleticism whatsoever,
he'll be ripped apart if he ever has to face a speed rusher. He
has potential as a big-time run blocker.

Atlanta Wilrey
Fontenot, CB Arizona
The problem is his size, or lack of it. He has good speed,
but he's only about 5-8 and didn't do well with good-sized
receivers in college and won't be able to handle any NFL
receiver bigger than six-feet. He plays bigger than his size
against the run, but he'll only be used in nickel and dime
packages.

Jacksonville
(from trade) Chauncey Washington, RB USC
While he had some good post-season workouts to get on the draft
map, he never showed the talent he was supposed to have at USC.
A baby-soft inside runner considering his 210-pound body, he
also lacks the speed to do anything flashy. However, there is an
upside. If he really wants to work at it and really gets fired
up about being a possible pro back, he could eventually be a No.
3 back. Eventually.

San Francisco Larry Grant, OLB Ohio State
A JUCO transfer who did a decent job on the outside last year
for the Buckeyes, he's a tough run stopper who holds up well
against anyone no matter what the size. However, he's not all
that big and doesn't have quite enough speed and athleticism to
be a weakside defender in the pros.

Baltimore Justin
Harper, WR Virginia Tech
With 6-3, 220-pound size and decent speed, he has the
package of goods, but it never came together on a consistent
basis at the collegiate level. Not a big fan of contact, he
doesn't use his size as well as he should and he isn't polished
as a receiver. He doesn't do any one thing at an NFL level and
is purely a prospect on his measurables.

Detroit
Landon Cohen, DT Ohio
Too small at around six-feet and 280 pounds, he's a good athlete
who was a solid producer at the MAC level. He's just not big
enough to be a regular pro tackle. He's not enough of an
interior pass rusher to be a regular in a rotation, but he could
be worth developing.

With a nice combination of size and quickness, the hope is
for Swain to blossom as a pro after a mediocre college career.
He was consistent, but he doesn't do any one thing particularly
well and is a deep, deep flier. While he was the Aztecs' top
receiver last year, Chaz Schillens is the better prospect.

(from trade)
Caleb Campbell, SS Army
A superior tackling machine, he was the Army defense for the
last few years and a tough defender who did a little of
everything well. More like a smallish linebacker at 6-2 and 229
pounds, he hits like it. Not the best athlete, he struggles in
coverage and missed a lot of plays by trying to do everything.
He's a leader and a hard worker, but he'll have to show
something special right away to stay on a team.

Buffalo
Demetrius Bell, OT Northwestern State
Karl Malone's son (yes, that Karl Malone) delivers (sorry about
that) well for the passing game with good quickness in a 6-5,
300-pound frame. He's not a physical enough blocker to plug in
right away and will need to be in a zone-blocking scheme to have
any chance of getting on the field in the next few years. He
needs to get bigger and stronger, but he doesn't have the room
to do it.

Denver
Josh Barrett, SS Arizona State
4.36. Barrett was a decent prospect at 6-2 and 223 pounds with
strong run stopping skills, and he showed the versatility to
play either safety spot, and then he ripped off a 4.36 40 and
his stock jumped through the roof. Now he has to play up to his
measurables. He had a weird senior season as he didn't play well
at times, disappeared for long stretches in games, and then came
up with just enough big moments to leave everyone wanting more.
On athleticism alone he'll be a great pickup, but he'll need a
kick in the pants from time to time.

Carolina
Hilee Taylor, DE/LB North Carolina
The classic tweener, Taylor is way too small to be an end but
has too much pass rushing ability to not be considered for an
outside job in a 3-4. He's not good enough against the run and
he's not quite special enough to warrant a long look at
linebacker if he's not getting into the backfield.

Chester Adams, OG/OT Georgia
He's versatile enough to play either tackle or guard, but he's
not good enough to be a regular at either spot. He has the size,
he has the strength, and he has the athleticism, but he doesn't
always play up to his measurables. He was a good college player
who earned enough respect to be a captain, but he didn't
dominate like he should've.

Houston
Alex Brink, QB Washington State
Smart, tough, and experienced, he'll be a great practice player
and a fine No. 3 quarterback who'll generate buzz in the
preseason every year he sticks around. He's not huge and he
doesn't have the most efficient delivery, but he can bomb away
and put up good numbers at a high level.

Buffalo Steve Johnson, WR Kentucky
With nice size and just enough speed to get by, he could be a
good third or fourth receiver in a rotation. He's still
extremely raw as he's still learning the ins and outs of how to
be a receiver, but he had some big moments in big SEC games. The
upside is there to become a steal with a little bit of patience.

Arizona
Brandon Keith, OT/OG Northern Iowa
A long and rocky college career, including a short stint at
Oklahoma, ended at UNI where he became dominant on an elite FCS
team. At 6-5 and 343 pounds, he could become a guard and has
more overall talent and was more productive than fellow Panther
tackle, Chad Rinehart. He'll likely be a versatile backup able
to play almost anywhere in a pinch.

Oakland
Chaz Schillens, WR San Diego State
Schillens is a flier on speed. He didn't do much of anything in
college, and was a disappointment considering his potential, but
at 6-4 and 208 pounds with 4.39 wheels, the measurables are
there to warrant a chance. He needs to learn how to run routes
and be a crisper all-around target.

Chris Chamberlain, LB Tulsa
Undraftable until he came up with a whale of a pro day.
Chamberlain is tremendously athletic and was an ultra-productive
defender for the Golden Hurricane. Too small to play linebacker,
stretched out to get to 226 pounds, and he needs to prove he can
be fast enough in the secondary to warrant further development
as a safety.

Cary Williams, CB Washburn
A good producer at the D-II level, Williams has good 6-1,
185-pound size and the return ability to be versatile enough to
be a jack-of-all-trades. He's not elite fast and he had a slew
of issues when it came time to go to school and ended up
transferring from Fordham to Washburn. He could be a steal if
character issues aren't a problem.

King Dunlap, OT Auburn
If he plays every game and every down like he looks, he'll be a
dominator. He's a tall, strong, quick 6-8 and 310 pounds, but he
doesn't play up to his talent level and got the hook last year
when he should've been crushing and killing.. If he decides he
wants to be a top pro and if a coaching staff can fire him up
and show him how to be a Pro Bowl blocker, it could happen for
him. He's a chance on greatness.

Cleveland
Alex Hall, DE St. Augustine's
The former tight end has a ton of potential if he gets into an
NFL weight-room and if he has a coach looking to spend the time
to work on the basic skills. At 6-5 and 219 pounds, he has a lot
of room to get bigger and stronger, but he's a very quick
producer, at least at the lower level, who has to turn himself
into a harder worker. Basically, he has to become a gym rat.

Keith Zinger, TE LSU
He's just a blocker; nothing more. At 6-3 and 270 pounds he
could grow into a bigger third tackle in jumbo formations, but
he also has decent enough hands to be used more on short passes
than he was at LSU. He doesn't have the speed, running a
painfully slow 5.11, to be a regular receiver.

More J.J. Arrington than Marshawn Lynch, Forsett's a smallish,
quick back who came through with a nice senior season even when
the team went into the tank. He's not big and isn't fast enough
to be a difference maker scatback, but he can be a change of
pace runner who'll need to do something special right away in
camp to stick. He can't be used as a regular runner.

A big body at 6-6 and 310 pounds, he can push people around

can't pass protect at an NFL level, and he doesn't play nearly
as physical on a consistent basis as he probably should. He'll
be better if he moves inside to guard.

If he can be consistent from inside the 40, he can be the type
of bomber who becomes a true difference maker. With unlimited
range, he can bomb away from anywhere and has the makeup to be a
go-to performer in the clutch. The main problem is a hamstring
that's been a problem throughout his career.

Jamey Richard, C/OT Buffalo
A great three-year starter who dominated at the MAC level, he's
a 100% motor guy who always finishes his blocks and always looks
for someone to hit hard. He needs work on his technique and
he'll need to be broken down and built back up again by an NFL
coaching staff if he's going to be a tackle, and he's a bit too
tall and lanky at 6-5 and 294 pounds to be a prototype center.
Even so, he'll stick on a team as a backup.

Adrian Arrington, WR Michigan
At 6-2 and 202 pounds with 4.58 speed, he has a good size/speed
ratio and he looks the part of an NFL receiver. Very physical,
he'll block, make catches in traffic, and will beat up smaller
defensive backs. However, he's not a natural receiver and he
doesn't use his speed to his advantage. He also has
off-the-field character issues to get past.

A hard runner who isn't afraid to mix it up and get dirty, he'll
do whatever is needed and won't be afraid to throw his body
around as a blocker. Off-the-field issues kept him from ever
reaching his potential at South Carolina, but he'll be a good
NFL practice player who'll be a key special teamer and will have
one or two games a year where he looks like a possible starter.

Supremely quick with an extra gear he can get to in a hurry.
While he's not all that big, he's not afraid to take a bit of a

the body to take a full-time NFL workload. If he's asked to find
a hole and run through it, he'll shine. If he's asked to be a

will get worse as the game goes on.

It's all there except the athleticism. He's not not going to

he times way too slow after bulking up to get big enough to

Monk was on the verge of being one of the SEC's most dangerous

After several surgeries, he finally got his leg healthy enough
to get on the field, but he wasn't the same player he was in
2006. However, at 6-4 and 222 pounds with good red-zone ability,
he's an interesting flier to take. If given another year to heal
