Big Ten- Indiana

Demetrius McCray, RB, Sr- Nothing special, and I don’t see him being drafted.

Rodger Saffold, OT/OG, Sr- Saffold has some potential, but he also makes some of the same fundamental mistakes in his technique that are inexcusable at this level. He spends a lot of time on the ground, which means he’s overly aggressive and he’s not keeping a wide base or his hips under him. Being aggressive is good, but not when it gets him into this kind of trouble. He seems like someone who would make a solid OG to start, with some added ability to play the RT position if needed as well. He has some value though, so I see him possibly going as high as the late third, but probably no further than the late fourth.

Greg Middleton, DE, Sr- I think Middleton is a nice sleeper who will make some team very happy. I saw several games of his this year, and the Michigan game stands out the most. He was dominant in this game. He shows a very nice variety of pass rush moves, and he has that innate feel for when to set a tackle up with one move and then counter with something else. He holds his ground in the run game as well, despite not being the biggest guy on the DL. I’d go as high as the late third round, and as much as I don’t want the Bears drafting a DE that high, he’d look good in this defense. I think he’s going to be a productive pro, especially for where he will be drafted. It’s important to note that most people don’t pay enough attention to the fact that Middleton led the country in sacks in 2008, but most media outlets and experts seem to have forgotten that.

Jammie Kirlew, DE, Sr- Middleton is definitely better than Kirlew, but Kirlew has some ability as well. He’s a decent pass rusher, but he’s undersized and he gets washed far too easily in the run game. He will more than likely have to move to rush OLB at the next level, but he may be worth a late round stab as a potential developmental prospect or situational pass rusher.

Matt Mayberry, MLB, Sr- Mayberry’s lack of instincts and size is what will probably cause him to go undrafted. He has decent quickness for the position though, and I think he provides some value in all phases of special teams, so he may end up making a roster.
