2. (Trade) Jordan Reed TE, Florida - 6'3" 255 (Junior)
He should be a 1,000 yard receiver type player given enough opportunities. Very fast, very nimble. Very good hands and concentration to hold on. His blocking is kind of weak, but he could also stand to gain 10 pounds and learn some actual pro-style technique (Florida runs shotgun 99% of the time). His build (strong midsection) suggests potential in this area.
2. Levine Toilolo TE, Stanford - 6'7" 265 (Junior)
Very big, athletic TE that creates huge mismatches. He's a very strong blocker inside. He can run routes over the middle as well as on the outside as a WR. He will beat all defenders on jump balls. He's a tough player who's better days are still ahead of him. Fun facts: Cousins include Edwin Mulitalo and Joe Salave'a. Harbaugh quoted as saying, "Even when he's covered, he's not covered. He's athletic enough to make those catches." Beat Fleener, Ertz, and Konrad Reuland for starting TE spot as a redshirt freshman before tearing his knee in a game early that year. Knowing his knee health will be an important factor in deciding on Toilolo. He could possibly gain more explosion back with time and with taking off his knee braces.
3. (CAR) Kapron Lewis-Moore DT, Notre Dame - 6'4" 300
Great hand strength to break blocks for sacks and tackles. Good athlete. Can rush from the 5 technique all the way to the 1. Strong. Smart. A leader that could be a foundational piece for the D-line.
3. (Trade) Stedman Bailey WR, West Virginia - 5'10" 190
Playmaker. Great suddenness for separation in the short passing game. A speed threat to go deep. Great ball skills and body control. Great run after the catch ability. There's really a lot to like about him. He needs work on route running technique, but I don't think it'll be an issue.
3. Le'Veon Bell HB, Michigan State - 6'2" 242 (Junior)
Very, very hard to bring down. Shows a lot of heart and desire when running. Solid full-stride speed in open field. Role will be as an inside the tackles runner to counter LaMichael James' speed. His talent is electric. You just don't find running backs like this very often.
4. Rashard Hall FS, Clemson - 6'1" 210
Can play FS or SS, but his best spot is at centerfield, similar to Goldson. Very rangy. He really attacks when he tackles, also similar to Goldson. He has good instincts to play all over the field. That's really the key for a safety, so I think he will be a good player.
5. (IND) Brandon Williams NG, Missouri Southern State - 6'2" 325
Not a sloppy 325. Well "built" (if being roundish is built) nose tackle that plays with good leverage and quickness. Dare I say he reminds me a tinsy bit of Vince Wilfork?
5. Cornelius Washington OLB, Georgia - 6'4" 270
Fantastic triangle numbers, but raw technique, low productivity his senior year, and occasional questionable effort. Supposedly ran a 4.29 40. Take that with a grain of salt, but he is fast. He's immature, but I believe he will develop. (Just from what I've seen...)
5. (Comp) Terron Armstead OT, Arkansas Pine Bluff - 6'5" 320
One of the most athletic offensive linemen that I have scouted. He can pull like a fullback practically. He's very nimble in pass protection. I think he could definitely start at left tackle eventually. He's physical in the ground game. Ideal size for an OT. There's a whole lot to like from the limited stuff I've seen. Could be a huge, huge steal.
6. (CAR) Brian Winters OG, Kent State - 6'5" 320
He's a left tackle right now. Built very thick. He has great strength along with a mean streak and pretty good quickness, at least in close quarters. He looks like a major steal at guard to me. I would even say that, with time, he could start for us. His stock might have risen far beyond this draft position. I really like him, but lower priority of the position put him in the 6th round.
6. Xavier Brewer CB, Clemson - 5'11" 195
Very fast and nimble. Strong for his size. Good tackler. Good press corner. Good blitzer. Can play some safety too.
6. (Comp) David Bass OLB, Missouri Western State - 6'5" 270
Set school record for sacks in a career, albeit at a no-name school. High character. Very rangy player that is surprisingly really good in coverage. As a rusher, my limited views show solid hand use. Can't comment more. He has great upside and could be a fantastic steal.
7. (CIN) Jordan Rodgers QB, Vanderbilt - 6'2" 220
A raw QB with lots of tools. Arm strength, athleticism, instincts. He needs coaching on footwork and reading defenses, which will be right in our wheelhouse.
7. Russell Shepard WR, LSU - 6'1" 200
Somewhat of an unknown because he never got a great deal of time at WR in college. He came in as a blue chip dual threat QB. He's really, really fast. He has run after the catch ability. Good hand eye coordination. I think he got caught up in a situation with too much talent at LSU, and the coaches were more interested in playing younger talent by the time he was a senior. He could be a nice sleeper.
UDFA. John Lotulelei MLB, UNLV - 6'1" 240
Can't miss this guy on the field with his long Hawaiian hair. He's an intense player. Great at getting off blocks. Good athlete. He's been a defensive leader for UNLV, and I think he will come in and take pride on special teams.
