These are players highlighted by Mike Field for Boston Sports Journal.\u00a0 The Patriots are coaching the West team and these players are all from the West team:<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/strong>WR Zay Flowers (BC)<\/strong>: Here\u2019s a top-50 pick with a chance to break into the first round. He\u2019s explosive with the ball in his hands and he\u2019ll interview well for teams.\u00a0 In my opinion, he is heads and shoulders above every player in Las Vegas.\u00a0 PFF has him projected as a 1st<\/sup> round pick.<\/p>\n DE Habakkuk Baldonado (Pitt)<\/strong>: Smart kid that is still developing. Great size (6-5, 260) with a frame to put on more weight. Needs more anchor, and polish but he has good instincts and I love the upside.<\/p>\n TE Luke Schoonmaker (Michigan):<\/strong>\u00a0The CT native is one of the more balanced TE\u2019s coming out this year. He\u2019s a top 100 player that could be a Patriots target late Day 2 or early Day 3.<\/p>\n DL Devonnsha Maxwell (UT-Chattanooga)<\/strong>: Same school as Cole Strange. Set the school and conference record for sacks (37.5). Consistent producer each year and played well against top talent this year.<\/p>\n RT Dalton Wagner (Arkansas)<\/strong>: He has his own area code at 6\u20198\u201d and 331 lbs.\u00a0 He will need time to develop and catch up to the speed of the Pro game.\u00a0 He was a 6-year player at Arkansas.<\/p>\n Pro Football Focus has a list of who to watch.<\/p>\n Kobie Turner<\/strong> DL Wake Forest \u2013 Led all Power 5 schools with a 93.1 run defense grade<\/p>\n Villiami Fehoko<\/strong> Edge San Jose St – 65 pressures this season, 4th<\/sup> in the country<\/p>\n Moro Ojomo<\/strong> DL Texas \u2013 Top 15 in both pass rush and run defense<\/p>\n Devonnsha Maxwell<\/strong> DL Chattanooga 23 sacks and 19 Tackles For Loss the last two seasons<\/p>\n Colby Sorsdad<\/strong> OT William and Mary 2nd<\/sup> highest FCS grade (Cody Mauch North Dakota State had the highest)\u00a0 Didn\u2019t allow a sack in 22 games.\u00a0 3rd<\/sup> Highest run blocking grade.
