Mountain West- BYU

Max Hall, QB, Sr- He’s just too short to play in the NFL. He has very good accuracy though, so he very well may end up getting drafted by someone as an emergency QB or third team guy. His arm is good enough but not ideal, his touch is good, and his decision making is decent. If he were 4 inches taller, he’d be in the mix as a potential NFL starter.

Dennis Pitta, TE, Sr- I really like Pitta, but he absolutely has to go to the right team. He is strictly an H-back, as he needs to be split out wide, or motioned into the backfield. He is a poor blocker and can be taken out of a game if you put a bigger LB on him at the line and jam him. He is an elite weapon in the pass game though, is a fantastic route runner, and has phenomenal hands. On the right team, he can be a difference maker in the pass game. On the wrong offense, he will be a liability. I think he’s worth a shot in the second round, but he may slip to the third because of his less than ideal ability to play in-line.

Jan Jorgensen, DE, Sr- Jorgensen is very up and down. He has some decent speed to the outside, but can also hold his ground in the run. He’s not great at any one thing, but he’s not bad either. He may end up being a late rounder who will fit well as a 3-4 DE. He reminds me of the Steelers 3-4 defensive ends. Effort guy who is drafted late and works his way into the rotation.

Harvy Unga, RB, Jr- Power runner, strictly north-south. Doesn’t have much wiggle, but gets the tough yards. Won’t run away from anyone either.

Manase Tonga, RB, Sr- He’s versatile and will more than likely end up at FB in the pros. He has good hands, is a solid blocker, and is a decent short yardage runner as well. He’s a nice late round value pick.

R.J. Willing, OC, Sr- Willing can get overpowered at the POA, but he has solid technique and gets into good position. He needs to go to a team that will give him help, or to a team which does not play many 3-4 teams as a NT will overpower him.

Andrew George, TE, Sr- George looks like a solid sleeper late round pick. He’s more of a traditional inline TE. He’s not as effective in the pass game as Pitta, but he has good hands, runs good routes, is big, tough, and can block. Good value for a player who has essentially always been overshadowed by Pitta.

Brett Denney, DE, Sr- Like Jorgensen, he’s a great effort guy. He gets by with his relentlessness, and it will take him a long way. He would be a good 3-4 DE to grab in the 5-6th round area.

Matt Bauman, ILB, Sr- I like Bauman as he plays hard, and can make plays behind the LOS. He’s a bit undersized like all of these BYU LBs, but he gives a good effort. He can definitely fit as an ILB in a 3-4 and looks like a late round pick.

Shawn Doman, ILB, Sr- Doman is pretty much the same as Bauman, but has a bit more upside. I think he can hit harder, is more physical, and will probably go a bit higher even though it will still be in the late rounds.

Coleby Clawson, OLB, Sr- Clawson is too small to play OLB in a 3-4 at the next level, but could fit as a SLB in a 4-3. Good potential as a nice late round pick.

Scott Johnson, S, Sr- I really like Johnson. He’s not going to wow people with his measurables, but his field awareness is great. He makes very good breaks on the ball so he looks faster than he probably is. He’s a great tackler, he breaks up passes well without committing penalties, and he’s smart in playing deep zone coverage. He’s going to make a solid pick for a team willing to take a risk.
