Franklin is very athletic, with great speed and good size (6'0 1/2" and 214), but he relies on his speed, and only shows the bread and butter skills (good routes, good hands) sporadically. He might go as high as the 3rd round to a team that is sold on his projectability, but I've only seen flashes and expect to see little from Franklin until late in year 2.

Boyd is the kind of player that I can wholeheartedly recommend in the NFL draft, but I only see a solid backup or role player future for him at the next level. He's got good hands, size, and he's strong and athletic, but nothing about his overall game stands out. He might be best cast as a FB/RB tweener type, which is fantasy death, but you should never count out an RB who started and produced in the SEC. He would be a lot higher on this list if his Senior year was a step forward from a very good Junior season.

Smith has trouble standing out in a DEEP WR class, but his special teams gunner ability may earn him a shot that other WRs wouldn't get. He's built like a big RB (strong like bull) and was ultraproductive this year (91/1125) next to Travis Brown, who is a solid late round WR prospect in his own right.

I can't get a handle on rating Cottam. On one hand, he's been under the knife five times and he had an unremarkable career in Knoxville. On the other hand, he's almost LT sized (6'7" 270) and he moves unbelievably well for such a big guy. He's like a less stiff Leonard Pope out in pass patterns and can definitely do damage downfield from the TE position. If Cottam ends up being a productive starting TE, it won't be that surprising. If he ends up on injured reserve before training camp breaks, and barely sees the field in a short injury-riddled career, it won't be that surprising. If he passes the medical poking and prodding well enough to get drafted in the first three rounds, I'll move him up at least a dozen spots.

Flowers is a very strong tackler and aggressively pushes wide receivers around. He made more plays behind the line of scrimmage than any other corner last year, and he's got good hands and ball skills to snag the INTs. I am starting to warm to the idea of taking the best projecting fantasy corner earlier after the way Darrelle Revis played last year.

Harvey is a Chaos Commish favorite, so I probably should watch more tape before I settle on him being this low. He will go early in the draft and make plays with his natural pass rush ability - no doubt about it. He's not a classic DE/3-4 OLB tweener, but he's athletic enough at 6'5" 271 for teams to think about it. I see Harvey as a guy who will run hot and cold - he only had sacks in five games this year - but the hot may be so good to justify a rookie pick in the top 40-50 anyway in sack heavy leagues.

Jackson may not beat Chris Johnson in a footrace, but otherwise he can hang with anyone in this draft. Check it out for yourself in our profile over at Draftguys TV. As a receiver, he's still a work in progress, and destined to likely be no more than a Roscoe Parrish type, but he's more than worth a flier at this point in rookie drafts. Don't get too excited if he goes on the first day, his return skills are a big part of his stock.

You'll get to take a closer look at JayMar soon over at Draftguys TV - he's a wiry athletic kid with speed and quicks. Johnson also flashes good natural hands and a fearless attitude over the middle. He's a deep sleeper at WR who I will be poised to take late if he sneaks into the last round or two of the draft.

Hayes is not that different from Erin Henderson, except that he lacks Henderson's ideal NFL size, and has a serious off the field incident in his past (keyword: taser). He could end up being a ferocious chase WLB, but he's a boom/bust LB pick and I don't like clogging up roster spots with developmental LBs.

Morgan has not gotten as much ink as Kenny Philips, but he's the same kind of physical talent and intimidator defending both the run and the pass. He's a good value later in rookie drafts as a guy who should start and be productive - its the relative ease of getting safeties off the waiver wire that deflates his value.

Monk is back from the dead after a great pro day that included 40s in the low 4.4s. He might end up being one of the steals of the NFL draft and fantasy rookie drafts if he can regain his 2006 form. He's a big rangy WR who should be useful in the red zone.

Tiger fans already know Hester is underrated as a runner. He'll never be a feature back, but he could easily have a similar fantasy presence to Mike Alstott, with the chance to have a temporary impact a la Nick Goings when the starting tailback goes down.

Like his college teammate Jamie Silva, Dunbar is limited athletically, but makes a big impact by being an instinctive player. He's yet another LB who could end up outside after playing inside in college because of his lack of natural size, but he should be around the ball a lot no matter where he lines up - if he can win a starting job.

Butler is very similar to Jameel McClain in that he's got experience as a defensive end and linebacker, and could be a valuable commodity to a team with a 3-4 defense. He's not quite as hardnosed as McClain, but keep an eye on him if he lands in New England or a similar defense.

Booty has a better chance of getting a shot to start than you would expect for how low he is on this list. I still see a limited QB from both a scheme and tools perspective, and a guy who has limited upside, even if he does also have a high floor.

I won't be surprised if Goff greatly outproduces this ranking as a two down run stuffer because he is physical and big enough to hang in the NFL. He doesn't have the upside of some of the other thumpers higher on the list, but he's a good late pick in leagues that go deep at LB.

Ellis had strong production from the interior line, and merits consideration a lot earlier in DT required/sack heavy leagues. I'm still not sure if he has a natural position in NFL schemes (not really an anchor, but not a undersized undertackle either), but he's amazingly quick for a 300 pounder and dominates when he runs hot.

Morgan looks like a future NFL starting WR at times, then disappears for long stretches. His upside makes him more than worth stashing with a late pick to see if the lightbulb goes on in his first training camp.

Shields lit up the combine with a sub 4.4 40, and top 5 numbers in just about every other test. He's one of the fastest, quickest, most explosive, and strongest WRs in this class. He's also coming off a knee injury, and has gotten by at a lower level of competition on his athleticism, not his hands and route running.

This is a thin QB class, but the depth of QBs in the NFL isn't much stronger. When guys like Chris Redman and Shaun Hill are commodities, a scrappy kid like Smith who doesn't have the NFL size or arm will find a place. He could be a Jeff Garcia type in time.

Few 6'6" QBs are athletic as O'Connell, but he seemed like a real work in progress at Shrine Game practices. His running ability makes him an attractive deep QB prospect to hold onto if he lands on a team that could provide opportunity in the next few years.

Arrington has the size and game in the air to fit in at the highest level, but he plays slower than his already slow timed speed, and has character issues hanging over him. He should go much higher than this in rookie drafts because of some of his high profile performances, including a dominant bowl game this year.

Purify is a big WR who knows how to exploit his size advantage and make the big play, but he is beyond inconsistent. His character questions are among the biggest in the draft - still his game translates to the NFL as well any of the longshots available late in a rookie draft.

When Campbell is on, he dominates in a way that just makes you feel sorry for the guy that had to face him, much like Julius Peppers. He's a massive man but can move well and generates great power from a long frame. He's off as much as he's on (if not more), and his disappointing postseason hints at his bust risk. Campbell has looked like a freakish physical talent enough to make him a rare DE prospect worth stashing while he develops.

Maybe it's the fact that he plays in Boston, but Callender reminds me a lot of Kevin Faulk, and Faulk has value in deep PPR leagues. He was a clutch receiver for Matt Ryan and has the chance to be a 40-60 catch a year guy out of the backfield.
