Pac-10- Arizona

Adam Grant, RT, Sr- Grant has some upside in the run game. He’s very big and can engulf ends when he gets his hands on them. He could also move inside to guard, which may end up being his best fit as a pro since he doesn’t have the best feet. Best case, he’s a power RT and can start. Worst case, he moves inside to guard and starts as well. Solid value in my book.

Mike Diaz, LT, Sr- I don’t know about Diaz. He definitely does not have the feet to play left tackle, but he’s not very strong in the run game either. If he gets drafted, it should be late, and he will be looked at as a RT and not LT.

Chris Gronkowski, RB, Sr- He’s a fullback, but a running back. He’s at best a late rounder, but I don’t know if I would draft him.

Ricky Elmore, DE, Jr- Elmore has a very bright future. Good speed around the edge, he sets the edge well in the rush, and he never gives up on plays. He will be one of the top returning DE prospects next year.

Cam Nelson, S, Sr- Nelson has some upside. I didn’t see much in coverage from him as teams did not throw deep in the games I watched. He showed he has the ability to attack the line and can tackle well, so he can definitely play SS if he doesn’t show the speed and hips to play FS.

Vuna Tuihalamaka, MLB/OLB, Sr- He’s a bit tight in the hips in coverage, and he can over pursue in the run game a bit too much, but he’s a big linebacker who actually makes plays in zone coverage. He’d fit well inside in a 3-4 as his deficiencies could be covered up. If he runs well, I could see a team developing him as mid round prospect and being happy with him.

Devin Ross, CB, Arizona- In the two games I saw from the Wildcats, I didn’t see anything out of Ross. That’s actually not as bad as it sounds. With the TV angle we all get at home, scouting the boundary players, like corners and wideouts, is very difficult since the camera tends to focus more on the pocket until the ball is out. By not seeing Ross much, that means the QB wasn’t throwing the ball his way because he was covering his man.

Corey Hall, CB, Sr- Hall actually flashed on film. He broke down quickly, was right there when the ball got to the receiver to either break up the play or make the tackle. He’s got good quickness and plays with reckless abandon when attacking the ball. I like Hall and think he may make for a nice sleeper pick.

Earl Mitchell, DT, Sr- Mitchell seems a bit undersized and can get washed in the run game a bit too easily, but he is a solid interior pass rusher. He is absolutely relentless though, so I think he can definitely fit well as an undertackle in a Cover-2 or maybe even outside as a five technique in an odd man front.
