Von Miller OLB Texas A&M
Thursday night was the first time I had a chance to watch Von Miller for a full game and I came away very impressed. He's certainly raw, and would benefit from returning for his senior year, but he is already an elite pass rusher. What impressed me most what that he isn't just a pure speed rusher. He flashed the ability to use a variety of moves that compliment his speed nicely. He gave Texas' offensive line all they could handle. He may not be the type of instant-impact player that would earn him a spot in the top 10-15 picks, but he has a ton of upside and could certainly be a late 1st-round pick if he leaves school early.

Sergio Kindle DE/OLB Texas
As good as Miller looked on Thanksgiving, that's how bad Kindle looked. He is simply too streaky to warrant a high 1st-round pick at this point. There's no denying Kindle's elite athleticism. At times, he can seemingly get into the backfield at will. However, I question his effort on the field. He just doesn't seem to play with the type of motor that creates great players. Additionally, he is a liability against the run, specifically when it is run right at him. I don't think he can be an every-down defensive lineman in the NFL. He is best suited as an outside linebacker in a 3-4 scheme, but even there, I question his ability to be an impact player in all facets of the game.

Jimmy Clausen QB Notre Dame
Clausen looked like the best quarterback in the game early this season, but he's tailed off a bit lately. I still think he is worthy of a top 10 pick, but he has shown some flaws lately. My biggest concern with Clausen's game is that he's looked skittish in the pocket lately. Over the past few games he has generated happy feet when the pocket begins to collapse around him and its led to some poor decisions. He has the physical tools to be an elite quarterback, but he needs to learn how to be more patient in the pocket.

Anthony Davis OT Rutgers
I made a point to focus on Anthony Davis in today's Rutgers-Louisville game and I did not come away impressed. What makes Davis intriguing is his size. He has the ability to dominate opponents at times, especially in the running game. However, his lack of agility is apparent in passing situations. He is slow to get out of his stance and into position. He hasn't been exposed in the Big East due to a lack of top pass rushers. Davis reminds me of Phil Loadholt, who started at left tackle at Oklahoma but moved to right tackle for the Vikings this season. Like Loadholt, I think Davis can be an excellent right tackle, but probably doesn't deserve the hype he's receiving right now as a junior.

Greg Hardy DE/OLB Mississippi
Hardy's stock is in a free fall after suffering a broken wrist which has ended his season. Throughout his career Hardy has been injury prone. First it was a recurring foot injury and now this wrist injury. The man simply can't stay healthy. Hardy would be a top prospect if he could escape the injury bug, but at this point it doesn't look like he'll come off the board before the end of the first round. We're expecting this to be a very deep draft class, which will cause players with question marks like Hardy to fall fast.

Toby Gerhart RB Stanford
Over the past two weeks Gerhart's stock has soared. Tearing up the defenses of two top-10 teams can have that effect on a player. Gerhart is an elite college running back and he'll likely be a 2nd-round pick. Personally, I wouldn't view him as anything more than a backup and short-yardage running back. However, his recent performance could lead someone to draft him with the intention of making him a future starter. He shouldn't be a 1st-round pick, but someone out there might make it happen. Remember, it only takes one.

Austen Lane DE Murray State
Admittedly, I haven't seen film of Lane yet. But by all accounts he's having a monster year at Murray State. He's racked up 11 sacks and 18 tackles for loss on the season. We'll see what happens this offseason, but he certainly appears destined to be a workout warrior. Lane is listed and 6'6", 258 pounds and reportedly runs a sub 4.7 forty. Brace yourself for the DeMarcus Ware comparisons that are inevitably coming this spring.

Jared Odrick DT Penn State
Odrick is having a great season for the Nittany Lions and he's generating a lot of buzz. The is a significant drop off at defensive tackle once Ndamukong Suh and Gerald McCoy are off the board, but Odrick is stating his case to be the third defensive tackle off the board. One of the things I love about Odrick is his awareness. He doesn't just put his head down and push his way into the backfield. He does a great job keeping an eye on the quarterback and getting his hands into passing lanes. Learning how to consistently impact the game in small ways like that aren't always learned in college.

Mike Williams WR Syracuse
Williams quit the team this past week following a suspension earlier in the season and another suspension likely coming down from head coach Doug Marrone. The reason behind the suspensions are still unknown. Williams' stock is in a free fall right now. After missing the entire 2008 season because he was academically ineligible, this only further increases the number of questions he'll have to answer when he enters the draft. He is clearly an elite talent, but he is troubled young man that has a lot of growing up to do. It would be very difficult for a team to justify selecting him earlier than the 3rd round.

Von Miller OLB Texas A&M
Texas A&M's junior outside linebacker is one of the fastest rising players in the nation. He is built like a defensive end, but is a tremendous athlete and has excelled as a push-rushing linebacker this season. After spending his first two seasons as a role player, Miller has racked up 13 sacks this year. His stock should continue to rise and he would certainly be a 1st-round pick if he entered the draft early. He will be a fit in a 4-3 or 3-4 defense, making him an attractive option for all 32 teams which will further cause his stock to rise.

Ryan Mathews RB Fresno State
I was hesitant to buy into the Ryan Mathews' hype early in the season, but he appears to be the real deal. Physically he's very similar to former Bulldog running back Dwayne Wright, but he has been far more consistent than Wright was throughout his career. Mathews is only a junior but is a strong candidate to leave early, especially considering the fact that this is going to be a very weak class of upperclassmen running backs.

George Selvie DE South Florida
I have been critical of Selvie the past two years and I have no reason to change my tune now. Selvie has been nothing but disappointing since his breakout year in 2007. After recording 14.5 sacks as a sophomore, Selvie totaled just 5.5 in 2008 and has only 3 this season. Selvie does receive much of the attention of the opposing offensive line, but the bottom line is he has consistently been shut down by Big East offensive linemen - he isn't exactly facing future NFL-ers week after week. Hurting is stock even more is the fact that teammate Jason Pierre-Paul is having a breakout season. As teams begin to play more attention to Pierre-Paul, Selvie should be stepping up but he has failed to do so.

Taylor Mays S USC
Mays is a physical freak of nature. I'm not sure we've ever seen a safety with his size and speed in the NFL before. However, there are some clear deficiencies in his game. He reminds me a lot of Roy Williams - in both a good and bad way. Like, Williams he's a ferocious hitter and can defend the run as well as any safety in the game. However, also like Williams he struggles in converge. He has been exposed at times this year due to the fact that USC's front seven is not as dominant as a season ago. He is certainly still a 1st-round prospect, possible still a top-15 talent, but some concerns have been raised that weren't as apparent at this time last year.

Dez Bryant WR Oklahoma State
Missing the rest of the season due to eligibility issues certainly doesn't help Bryant's stock, but I don't think it will hurt him either. Bryant was ruled ineligible for lying to an NCAA committee amount his interactions with Deion Sanders. This a very minor incident in the eyes of NFL scouts and GMs. Bryant hasn't gotten into any other trouble during his time at Oklahoma State and he should still be a top-15 pick whenever he decides to go pro.

Jonathan Dwyer RB Georgia Tech
After a very slow start to the season, Dwyer is back on track. What I love about Dwyer is his combination of power and speed. Just take a look at this run against Virginia last week. At times he reminds me of current Panthers running back Jonathan Stewart for his ability to be effective as an inside runner and a guy who can break off the big runs. The biggest knock against Dwyer at this point is that he has been inconsistent. In Georgia Tech's offense he should be putting up big numbers every week, but has been shut down at times. If closes the year on a high note, I fully expect him to be a 1st-round pick if he leaves early and enters the draft.

Eric Decker WR Minnesota
Decker's season-ending sprained foot is expected to keep him out for six to nine months, which would obviously be devastating to his draft stock. If healthy, he has the potential to be an early-to-mid second-round pick. However, if he is unable to work out at full health before the draft it is likely that he slips to the 4th or 5th round. He isn't an explosive receiver, which limits his potential. Teams will want to see him run routes and, of course, see his forty time. Unfortunately, it sounds like he's unlikely to be able to run at full strength before the draft.

Trent Williams OT Oklahoma
Williams has struggled to make the transition from right to left tackle this season. His size and athleticism led myself and many other to believe he was a sure 1st-round selection, but he's failed to live up to lofty expectations. Williams is better suited, physically, for the left tackle position than his predecessor Phil Loadholt but he simply lacks the fundamentals. What's most concerning is the fact that he's struggling with all types of pass rushers. He has been getting beat by speed rushers and pushed around by bull rushers. His raw talent should land him a place in the first two rounds, but he has a lot of work to do to earn a 1st-round grade by April.

Jimmy Clausen QB Notre Dame
In my opinion no player has improved his stock more this season than Clausen. I was very skeptical of his performance in 2008. He was putting up big numbers, but it was out of necessity rather than his skill as Notre Dame's defense forced Clausen to continually throw the ball. This year however, he has surpassed his 2008 numbers and looked good in doing so. He is more patient in the pocket and he's making every type of throw that is asked of him. In 2008 he racked up a lot of yards on deep passes to Golden Tate and Michael Floyd. This year he's show that he can hit receivers in stride on crossing routes and out routes, while still showing the ability to launch the deep ball. He is a legitimate top 10 prospect.

Arrelious Benn WR Illinois
Many believe that Benn's stock has fallen, but I'm not willing to write him off just yet. Juice Williams has been absolutely terrible this season, which has hindered Benn's ability to stuff the stat sheet. He clearly has all the physical tools to be an elite receiver. I'm not as crazy about him as some, but he could still end up in the 1st round. Last week he had his best game of the year with nine catches for 95 yards. A receiver's season ultimately doesn't matter to scouts, their draft stock is determined almost entirely based on their performances in the all-star games, combine and workouts.

Colt McCoy QB Texas
McCoy's stock hasn't fallen in terms of what I expected from him this season, but as a whole he is certainly not viewed in the same light as he was at the beginning of the season. I believe that McCoy is talented, but he's also playing in a system tailored to his ability. He is deadly accurate on short passes, and Mack Brown allows him to dink and dunk his way down the field. However, this season Texas' offensive line has not been as good and with less time to throw McCoy has made more mistakes. I don't believe he's ready for the NFL and I'm skeptical that he'll ever be able to play at an elite level in the NFL. At this point I don't think I would spend a 1st-round pick on McCoy.

Jevan Snead QB Ole Miss
Could Snead be the most over-hyped quarterback of all-time? Entering the season he was a top-10 pick in every mock draft (including mine) and even projected as a the top pick by some. Less than two months later I'm not even sure he'd get drafted in the first five rounds. He has been nothing short of terrible this entire season. He is completing less than half of his passes and has thrown nine interceptions (seven in three SEC games). Luckily he's only a junior, and will likely return for his senior year.

Sam Bradford QB Oklahoma
Despite Bradford's injuries I full expect him to enter the 2010 draft. He simply has too much to lose to attempt a comeback at the college level. His durability is certainly a concern, but I don't see it costing him more than a few spots on draft day. Even if other potential top quarterbacks such as Jake Locker and Jimmy Clausen leave early, Bradford should be a top-10 pick. There are simply too many teams that need a franchise quarterback for him to be passed up. The Rams, Jaguars, Titans, Raiders, Browns, Redskins, Seahawks, Bills and Panthers could all be drafting in the top 10 and could all be in the market for a quarterback. That's good news for Bradford and everyone else at the position.
