Game Film Evaluated:

LSU (2014)

East Carolina (2014)

Florida State (2014)

Pros: He moves well down line and gets upfield. He uses his feet to turn his man well and set the edge. He can anchor well. Has a good initial punch. Plays with long arms. Good job keeping blockers off his body.

Cons: Doesn’t get much push in the run game. Struggles to hit the moving target. He does need to add some strength, gets tossed around at times by power rushers in the run game. Gave up ground versus FSU but anchored in pass protection against Mario Edwards Jr. He does not have quick feet and stay upright to recover when defenders try to cross his face and work inside. He does not have the quickness to prevent a speed rusher from taking the edge consistently.

Summary: Humphries has some upside to the next level but he is an average to below average run blocker. He uses his frame well but there are strength questions when lined up at tackle as well. He lacks the quick feet to stay at left tackle in the pros so he will have to move to the right side. He must develop some lower body strength and improve his footwork, keep his feet moving to get some push in the run game. Initially he can hold up in pass protection but top speed rushers will give him trouble. He is a projection and not a solidified day one starter who needs a lot of work to be a more complete blocker. I project DJ to a early 3^rd round value to either scheme but must add some strength to not lose as many power battles as he did especially in the run game.

Shane Ray, DE - 23rd overall pick

UCF (2014)

South Carolina (2014)

Florida (2014)

Kentucky (2014)

Pros: Excellent speed rusher using combination of quickness, body positioning and arm technique to turn the corner. He makes a lot of plays behind the line, very effective tackler. He gets a good punch on the tackle to knock on heels and fall off the block inside to get to the QB. Ray can bend well and turn the corner fast and finish on the QB. Has some stack and shed ability in the run game displayed vs South Carolina. Can knock down a few passes when he doesn’t get there. High energy and will track down plays downfield. Underrated speed. Capable of disengaging from block once engaged in the run game when he uses his arms to keep tackle off body.

Cons: Doesn’t display ability to get off blocks once engaged. Doesn’t show wide array of pass rush moves outside of speed rush. He showed an inside move vs Kentucky but right now he is a speed rusher only coming into the NFL. He has to develop secondary pass rush moves to beat NFL tackles.

Summary: Shane is an excellent football player who plays with high energy and very capable down rusher to get to the QB. He has a good not elite burst at the snap but he is not a polished pass rusher who will be able to beat NFL tackles with great consistency. He has to develop an inside move to keep the tackle from constantly setting up outside to push him around the QB. Until he does that, he will struggle to be a consistent pass rush threat at the next level. He showed the upside in the run game to be able to stay as an end in a 4-3 scheme and not have to make a position change. He requires a bit of work for a defensive line coach but if he takes to the coaching, Ray will be a 10 plus sack performer in the NFL. He looks to be a top 20 pick in the first round to me.

Bud Dupree, OLB - 22nd overall pick

Missouri (2014)

South Carolina (2014)

Mississippi State (2014)

Florida (2014)

Louisville (2014)

Pros: Good effort, solid burst and can turn the corner on a tackle. Displayed active strong hands to disengage from blocks in the run game. Tracked plays down on the perimeter and showed he could hold the POA. Good rip move.

Cons: Inconsistent with his motor, shows at times a top notch burst and then dials it down in his get off on passing downs. He has a good speed rush around the corner but did not see him bend effectively to close on the QB. Plays a bit stupid at times, got a personal foul for knocking a player down away from the ball. Drops his head when trying to tackle someone and does not drive through his man. Inconsistency is the name of Dupree’s game.

Summary: Dupree could make a highlight reel tape to warrant a top 20 selection but it would not be an honest evaluation of his game. There are times he plays with a top burst and strong hands with some lower body strength to be a fairly complete rusher. However that is not the case most of the snaps observed of him. He seems to go 100% with his burst only on passing downs which can be incredibly effective to close on a QB. He can turn the corner but he doesn’t show proper technique to finish the play. He’s an inconsistent tackler as well. I do not like his overall game and see far too much work needed to turn him into a starter and I have doubts he is willing to do the work. Late 2^nd round player who projects best to a 3-4 team as an OLB or 3^rd round to a 4-3 team.

Cedric Ogbuehi, OT - 21st overall pick

South Carolina (2014)

Auburn (2013) vs Dee Ford

Pros: Quick feet… Flashed ability to anchor. Engulfs smaller ends. He can get upfield with ease and smooth. . He can drive men back in the run game when he keeps his feet moving and drives. Really strong hands. Blessed with natural athleticism to get in space well, shoots upfield quickly. Impressive frame and strong arms.

Cons: Needs to keep moving and turn himself perpendicular to the line to protect his QB. Lets his man get to the corner too often with relative ease. Doesn’t slide his feet perhaps expecting the QB to have already released the ball fast. Supreme athleticism but gives poor effort to get his man., needs to keep his hands inside, he’s a grabber. Low effort player, will not fight or finish his blocks. Inconsistent. He gets pushed back into pocket way too much. Doesn’t play with good lower body strength. Used natural athleticism to win often but his technique is a mess. He’s reaching, using one hand on occasion, taking false steps outside and leaves a easy inside path to the QB. The up tempo offense covered up a lot of would be pressures Ogbuehi gave up but gives up way too much vs the bull rush. Vs Dee Ford, he was playing RT and performed better. Leverage still a major issue as Ford is a master at converting speed to power. He surrendered 2 sacks in the final drive losing the game to Auburn. Medical Alert: Torn ACL in bowl game.

Summary: Cedric Ogbuehi is a high risk/reward prospect. He is easily talented enough to play tackle in the NFL and could be one of the best. The problem is does he want to be and is he willing to put in the work to improve on his weaknesses to start. There are reports he had a low work ethic in College Station and his on field performance showed low effort as well.  That is a major concern as very rarely can a prospect continue to win battles in the NFL off talent alone. If the light didn’t go off playing in the SEC with a Johnny Manziel to compete for championships, would getting paid a lot of money based off those performances make any difference?  A team desperate for offensive line help could snab him a round earlier than he should but his film suggest a 3^rd round pick. Ogbuehi would benefit greatly from having to sit on the bench for a year to get in the weight room to add strength and refine his technique then compete for a job in his 2^nd season. I project him to a late 3^rd round pick who could be a real find for someone but it depends greatly on a guy that you have to wonder, is he going to work hard when he gets to camp or never reach the level his talent suggest he should be?

Cameron Erving, OC - 19th overall pick

Game Film Evaluated:

Oklahoma State (2014)

Notre Dame (2014)

Miami (2014)

Virginia (2014) vs Eli Harold

Pros: Has good frame and well built. Turns his man effectively in run game. Strong hands.  He consistently won the battles vs Harold. Keeps head on swivel and picks up delayed blitzers and stunts effectively. Good feet to stay engaged, moved well down the line on stretch and zone plays.

Cons: Doesn’t slide feet well to stay with rushers inside move. Bit of a grabber. Doesn’t play with long arms and can give up some leverage to rushers. Needs to keep his feet moving in pass protection but will anchor and get caught grabbing. Struggles to hit the moving target, gets to the 2^nd level. Handled stunts well inside, better in tight spaces than on island. Not overpowering at all. Pulled and was absolutely destroyed by Denzel Perryman on a block. Does not reset his feet when he gets beat inside, will get caught for holding. Does not get much of a push at all in the run game.

Summary: Cameron Erving is a solid college prospect and ultimate team first player. He moved from left tackle to center during the season due to injuries along the line. He moves well and can really be used on screens, pulls and getting to the 2^nd level. However Erving is not an overpowering lineman nor does he have ideal length, quickness or lateral agility to handle edge rushers consistently. I do not project Eriving to be a high ceiling player but his versatility and athleticism will benefit him on draft day. At worst, Erving can start anywhere along the line for a scheme that prefers to pass the ball more and blockers who can get out in space like the Colts or Packers. I project Erving to be a late 2^nd round prospect.

Marcus Peters, CB - 18th overall pick

Game Film Evaluated:

Oregon (2014)               

Vs Jalen Strong (2014)

Pros: He is a bump and run type of corner, he wants to press man. . Lined up on the nose of Jaelen Strong, a top WR prospect, for most of the game and did not back down. He jammed him at every opportunity. Effective sniper corner blitzer who times it well and takes shortest path to the ball.

Cons: Will get caught peeking in the backfield and letting his receiver get behind him. Questionable effort player, a spectator when it comes to tackling, rarely wants to get into the action. Does not break down in space to make the tackle in space, he will miss consistently but has got to learn to stop the contact after 5 yards as he will be flagged constantly in the NFL. Gets his hands on a lot of passes but misses far too many interceptions. On and off the field concerns regarding his attitude, out of control attitude but does not use it toward encouraging team.

Summary: Marcus Peters is a conflicting prospect, he has good size and plays a physical game who likes to mix it up with receivers and doesn’t shy away from the best. I am concerned about a lack of on field desire to make tackles, misses interceptions consistently that he should bring down and then his overall attitude can hurt the team. His film suggest a middle 1^st round pick but the attitude is a huge turn off which lowers his grade to a mid 2^nd round pick. He is not a shutdown type corner, he will fit best as a Seahawks type press man corner with a good pass rush for support.

Arik Armstead, DT - 17th overall pick

Arik Armstead, Oregon, #9

Game Film Evaluated:

Texas (2013)

Ohio State (2014)

Pros: Fit man for a DT, stands tall at 6-7. Athletic to play even a 5-technique in a 34 or down inside in a 4 man front. Uses his hands well, has good get off… Gets a good punch and long strong arms. Lined up over the center at times on passing downs. Shows the ability to keep the blocker away from his body and able to disengage from blocks. Has deceptive burst to close on QB. He shows some strong hands and has the ability to quickly disengage from blocks.

Cons: Needs to locate the ball better and is inconsistent with hand placement. Step slow finding the ball. Can get overpowered on run plays and doesn’t generate much on the pass rush. Slow at the snap compared to teammates. Doesn’t pursue a great deal of plays outside of his area.

Summary: Armstead is a difficult to project at the next level. He has enough athleticism to suggest he was playing out of position in Oregon’s 34 scheme and might fit best in a 4-3 at the next level. The lack of a burst at the snap is a concern but he shows some upside as a rusher. I project him to a strong side defensive end in a 4-3 but he needs to improve a bit before he can compete for a starting job. Armstead is a 4^th round pick.
