SEC- LSU

Jordan Jefferson, QB, So- Jefferson still has the tendency to run too often for my liking, but he’s developing and maturing as a passer. He has a plus arm, and is making better decisions. If he can keep improving his decision making and keep his eyes downfield when the play breaks down, he could develop into a McNabb style QB.

Charles Scott, RB, Sr- Scott is a good power back, but there’s no wiggle in his game. He’s a straight forward between the tackles runner that won’t break a game open but can wear down defenses. Scott’s a solid compliment back, but because he doesn’t have break away speed.

Brandon Lafell, WR, Sr- Silky route runner, with good speed. I question his ability to get off the jam though as he tends to play more slot or off the line. He’s got good size, but I don’t think he has the break-away speed of a number one receiver. Lafell should make a very solid compliment WR and I’d take him as high as the second round, but he could slip to the third, where he will be an excellent value.

Terrance Toliver, WR, Jr- Toliver is the top returning Senior WR in my opinion. His speed is game changing, and he does a great job of turning short slant routes into long gains. Toliver has the frame, hands, and physical makeup to be a dominant outside receiver.

Ciron Black, OT, Sr- I’ve never been a fan of Black, although many other draft experts considered him a solid tackle prospect. If you watch any bit of tape on Black it’s obvious he does not have the feet to play LT, and I will argue he doesn’t have the foot speed to play RT at the next level either. He is solid in the run game though, so he has some value at guard. He’s a four year starter, so there is something to say about experience and technique that he has developed over that time, but it cannot compensate for a lack of athleticism to play tackle in the NFL.

Joseph Barksdale, OT, Jr- I don’t buy the hype some other people have put on Barksdale. He’s got a good frame, decent feet, but he still gets beat by speed on the edge. He’s a bit light in the ass too, so he gets pushed back fairly easily. He needs to come back, switch to LT, and then I’d be more willing to re-think my position on him. The potential is there, but he needs to get stronger and bigger.

Trindon Holliday, RS, Sr- Holliday’s a very good kick returner, but that’s not someone you take higher than the 5th or 6th round. He’s very one dimensional but his speed will get him drafted late

Deangelo Peterson, TE, So- Peterson is a converted WR that looks like he will be a huge receiving threat and one of the top rated returning TEs next year. Good overall frame and can leap. I really like his potential.

Drake Nevis, DT, Jr- Nevis is one of the top returning DTs in next year’s draft. He’s so quick out of his stance that he really disrupts running lanes. Nevis shows a violent punch and stacks the line in the run game as well. He’s an aware player as well, and can scrape down the line and make plays.

Chad Jones, FS, Jr- Jones is a very good tackler, and is strong enough in this phase to even play some SS. He showed enough ability covering receivers man up that I think he can play deep centerfield as well. He’s not the most athletic guy out there, but he just makes plays.

Patrick Peterson, CB, So- Peterson has a very bright future! He can really plant and drive to make a play, can keep up with speed receivers, and is extremely physical. He’s a big corner, so he has ideal size for the next level. One thing I want to see him change next year though is he tends to bite on the first move a bit too much and can get beat with double moves. If he can work on that, he may be the best corner in next year’s draft.

Rahim Alem, DE, Sr- Alem is a very good pass rusher, but is a liability against the run. I’m not too sure if he can move to OLB at the next level, but for a team like the Colts, he’d be a solid rotational DE.

Al Woods, DT, Sr- For a DT some experts are saying can play NT, he gets washed far too easily in the run game. I don’t think he’s worth drafting.

Harry Coleman, OLB, Sr- Coleman is very undersized, shows good speed, and covers well. His size will hurt his stock though.
