College Football, Fantasy Football, NFL 2013 nfl draft, round 1, summary

TOP PLAYER AVAILABLE
Geno Smith, West Virginia (6-3/214) – Smith is clearly the most-NFL ready prospect in this extremely weak class of quarterbacks. He could be a top 10 pick on Thursday, but also could fall out of the first round altogether.  He is a natural athlete with great mobility for his size. His arm is also solid and he reportedly has a great work ethic. All of those factors should make him a solid starter for years to come, but he is not the can’t-miss, franchise quarterback we’ve seen in Round 1 in recent years.

CREAM OF THE CROP
Ryan Nassib, Syracuse (6-2/223) – The strong-armed Nassib could prove to be provide the best value at the position in this crop of rookie signal callers. The gunslinger is tough in the pocket and not afraid to take a hit. He’s smart and possesses natural leadership abilities. It would not be a shock to see a QB-needy team trade up into the end of Round 1 to grab him and there’s little chance he’d make it out of Round 2.

E.J. Manuel, Florida State (6-4/237) – After an impressive Pro Day and a strong Combine Manuel’s stock has rose big time since the completion of the 2012 season.  Despite a disappointing effort against Florida, Manuel managed to put up solid numbers as a red-shirt senior for the Seminoles and is appealing option. He has been invited to New York by the league for the draft, suggesting he won’t be sitting around too long.

Matt Barkley, USC (6-3/227) – The overhyped prospect will never live up to his billing, but still possesses enough attributes that could eventually lead him to being a borderline NFL starter. However, that is likely his ceiling. A late-season shoulder surgery was a disappointing end to what proved to be a disappointing senior season. He could go in Round 1, but it is more likely he’ll be taken on Friday in Rounds 2 or 3.

Tyler Bray, Tennessee (6-6/232) – So many questions revolve around Bray and his decision making process both on and off the field, that he is likely to slide deep down draft boards. He enjoyed some decent success during his junior campaign last year in Knoxville and often put his canon arm on display. He is a bit raw still, but Bray could make for a nice mid-round pick for some team with a veteran in the fold to develop into a starter in a few years down the road.

BEST OF THE REST
Mike Glennon, N.C. State (6-6/220)
Matt Scott, Arizona (6-3/196)
Tyler Wilson, Arkansas (6-2/215)
Zac Dysert, Miami-Ohio (6-2/224)
Landry Jones, Oklahoma (6-3/221)
Sean Renfree, Duke (6-3/219)

TOP PLAYER AVAILABLE
Cordarrelle Patterson, Tennessee (6-2/216) – After just one season at Tennessee Patterson appears to be poised for the NFL and the potential to be a top 10 pick in this year’s draft. His rare combination of size, speed as strength makes him an appealing option for teams looking for playmakers in the passing game. Patterson is a bit raw and will benefit by playing in a well established system. His Combine performance turned more than a few heads, including his 4.42 forty time.

CREAM OF THE CROP
Tavon Austin, West Virginia (5-9/174) – There’s no questioning Austin’s blazing speed and few players made bigger plays last season on the college gridiron. He is explosive and has the ability to stretch opposing defenses like no other draft prospect at the position. The biggest concern surrounding Austin is his size. He pulled in 114 balls for 1,289 yards as 12 touchdowns and added another 643 yards and three more scores on 72 carries for the Mountaineers in 2012.

DeAndre Hopkins, Clemson (6-1/214) – Hopkins stock is the rise big time since last season ended after impressing at the Combine and interviews.  His hands are reliable and he possesses the speed to burn defenses deep. He tallied 1,405 yards and 18 touchdowns (ACC record) on 82 receptions a year ago as he emerged for the Tigers. A bad showing with a 4.57 forty at the Combine and opting not to participate in Clemson’s Pro Day would not make it surprising to see Hopkins fall out of the first round on draft day.

Justin Hunter, Tennessee (6-4/196) – All the talk has surrounded Patterson, but Hunter is also an appealing wide receiver prospect coming out of Tennessee. After being slowed by an ACL injury as a sophomore, Hunter delivered in a big way for the Vols during his junior campaign a year ago, finishing with 73 catches for 1,083 yards and nine scores. Hunter delivered a 4.44 in the 40-yard dash and posted the best numbers in both the broad (136 inches) and vertical (39.5 inches) jumps at his position.

Keenan Allen, California (6-2/206) – A knee injury hurt his production in 2012 and also caused him to miss the Combine. How much that will impact his draft status remains in question. Despite missing three games and playing within an average Cal offense a year ago, Allen still managed 737 yards and six touchdowns on 43 receptions. His size and speed alone though will be enough for a team to take an early stab at him. The further he slides down draft boards the bigger value he will become.

BEST OF THE REST
Robert Woods, USC (6-0/201)
Markus Wheaton, Oregon State (5-11/183)
Terrance Williams, Baylor (6-1/201)
Ryan Swope, Texas A&M (6-1/206)
Stedman Bailey, West Virginia (5-10/193)
Quinton Patton, Lousiana Tech (6-0/204)
Kenny Stills, Oklahoma (6-1/194)
Da’Rick Rogers (6-2/217)

TOP PLAYER AVAILBLE
Eddie Lacy, Alabama (6-0, 220) – In a running back class that lacks elite talent, the Crimson Tide’s runner appears to be the safest bet and the player most likely to be drafted first at the position. He possesses a great mix of power and speed and is capable of producing yards after contact.

CREAM OF THE CROP
Giovani Bernard, North Carolina (5-11, 220) – The redshirt sophomore showed enough during 2012 to excite NFL executives. Perhaps the most versatile runner in the class, Bernard has the potential to make an immediate impact.  The elusive runner lacks blazing speed, but is tough to catch once he gets into space.

Marcus Lattimore, South Carolina (6-1, 220) – He was arguably the top back in the class before shredding his knee (right ACL, MCL tear) during his 2012 campaign. The injury makes him a true wildcard, but he reportedly is making a speedy recovery. Lattimore is a natural runner and has displayed patience when hitting the holes.

Andre Ellington, Clemson (5-10, 190) – While he lacks the size of some other players on the list Ellington makes up for it with his quickness. He has the ability to pick up yards in bunches, but may struggle to pick up the tough yards. The former Tiger could be the best senior running back in this year’s draft class and should make for a nice complimentary piece at the next level.

Stefan Taylor, Stanford (5-11, 210) – Taylor runs hard between the tackles and is a prototypical power runner with a low center of gravity. He lacks the size and big-play ability that most teams covet in the early rounds, but should provide great mid-round value for the team that pulls the trigger on him.

Dennis Johnson, Arkansas (5-9, 213) – His 4.4 forty times have opened eyes amongst NFL scouts, but fumbling issues are a concern.  He should be able to contribute immediately as a passing down back on whatever teams lands him on draft day.

BEST OF THE REST
Joseph Randle, Oklahoma State (5-10, 190)
Johnathan Franklin, UCLA (5-10, 198)
Montee Ball, Wisconsin (5-9, 212)
Ray Graham, Pittsburgh (5-9, 195)
Mike Gillislee, Florida (5-10, 190)
Spencer Ware, LSU (5-11, 223)
Zac Stacy, Vanderbilt (5-9, 210)
Kenjon Barner, Oregon (5-11, 195)
