2013 draft prospects

[carolina-chuck]

Anyone just saw what DJ Swearinger did?

Kid is a beast and will be a late 2nd or 3rd rounder. No way he's a 4th or 5th.

[Bwood]

Yeah that was great instinct, I'm sure he'll fly up boards by April.

I'm really starting to like Hankins after seeing this interview. I already saw his talent on the field by watching tape, but after seeing that he's a normal, chill guy that understands the game and is all about working hard, you know he's gonna be Suh/Dareus status.

Guy's like Nick Fairely have that gangster slur and you know they're just in it for the money.

right now i think him and Star are on the same level, but Hankins gets the nod because he is younger.i would love to have either.

Tennessee Tech junior WR Da'Rick Rogers will enter the 2013 NFL Draft.

Rogers transferred from Tennessee just before the season started after multiple failed drug tests and has done fairly well at the FBS level. The Golden Eagles have only won two games and other than one contest in which Rogers went for 303 receiving yards, he has failed to top 88 yards in any other game. Off field questions will be Rogers' biggest setback throughout the pre-draft process.

Just keep him away from Jamarcus Russell and I'll be happy with him :)

I'd still prefer Star though, by just a little.

week 11 risers from SI Tony Pauline

D.J. Swearinger, DB -- South Carolina: Swearinger does not receive the notoriety many of his headlining teammates do, yet NFL scouts have taken notice of his play. He's a well-rounded defensive back who usually lines up at safety but can also play cornerback. Swearinger did exactly that against Arkansas and displayed NFL skills throughout the game. The senior lead the Gamecocks defense with 13 tackles and also intercepted a pass in the second half which he returned 69-yards for a score. He's a versatile defender with the size and speed needed to start at the next level. Swearinger could now jump into the third round of the draft.

Devin Smith, CB -- Wisconsin: Smith has shown steady development all season and scouts like his next-level potential. He led the Badgers defense with two interceptions and eight pass break-ups prior to Saturday's showdown with Indiana. Smith then made several critical plays during Wisconsin's 62-14 victory, including a pair of pass defenses and an interception that helped end drives. He was projected as a late-round pick prior to the season, but his ability to line up in man-to-man or zone coverage has elevated his stock.

Chris Jones, DL -- Bowling Green: Jones was considered a future free agent entering the season but has since risen into the middle rounds. The senior has taken his game to another level, producing 17 tackles for loss, 11.5 sacks and five quarterback hurries with two games remaining on the schedule. He beats opponents with quickness, hustle as well as smarts and offers potential as a three-technique lineman. Expect Jones to be selected in the middle part of the draft's final day for any team that desires an interior pass rusher.

Corey Fuller, WR -- Virginia Tech: The Hokies have struggled through a tough 2012 season and many of their highly rated prospects have not met expectations. On the other hand, Fuller has pleasantly surprised scouts. He caught only two passes last season, yet 10 games into his senior campaign Fuller has amassed 36 receptions, 671 receiving yards and five touchdowns. NFL scouts took a wait-and-see approach toward Fuller, who ran a 4.36 forty during offseason testing. Now he's receiving serious consideration in the late rounds.

Ryan Nassib, QB -- Syracuse: Nassib has caught the attention of NFL decision-makers, as the senior is a smart and tough game manager with the arm strength necessary for the next level. He showed a lot of moxy during the Orange's victory over formerly unbeaten Louisville, passing for 246 yards and 3 touchdowns. His throwing statistics told just a fraction of the story. Nassib did a terrific job leading Syracuse's offense and consistently made correct decisions in the pocket. His game comes with a degree of upside and Nassib is a middle-round prospect that teams believe can develop into an NFL starter.

Ryan Swope, WR -- TexasA&M: Swope entered the season as a possibly late-round selection but elevated his draft grade even prior to the contest against Alabama. His dominant performance during A&M's 29-24 victory over the top-ranked Tide will force scouts to continue to revaluate their opinion of Swope. The senior finished the day with 11 receptions for 111 yards and one touchdown. More impressively, Swope came through in the clutch, making spectacular catches during the game's critical moments, including two receptions in the fourth quarter, which moved the Aggies into scoring position. Swope lacks the speed to be used as a vertical receiver, but he plays smart, tough football and offers reliable hands. His game is similar to Broncos receiver Eric Decker and Swope could end up a third-round pick, just like Decker.

Ra'Shede Hageman, DL -- Minnesota: Hageman, a former tight end, is in the midst of a breakout season and has scouts salivating. Lining up on the nose of Minnesota's four-man line, Hageman displays the ability to control the line of scrimmage or make plays in the opponents' backfield. He's totaled 6½ tackles for loss and five sacks this season and Hageman is still developing on the defensive line. The junior is likely to enter the draft and expected to be a top 120 choice.

Margus Hunt, DL -- SMU: Hunt is another defensive line prospect whose future potential excites scouts. Hailing from the nation of Estonia, Hunt enrolled at SMU as a champion shot putter and discus thrower before turning to football. Despite no highschool experience on the football field, Hunt set an NCAA record with seven blocked kicks as a freshman. He's posted a career-best six sacks thus far this season and has shown consistent development in his game. Hunt is a freakish athlete with incredible size and the ability to play any of three positions on the defensive line. He entered the season with late-round grades but could now slide into the late part of the third frame.

Bacari Rambo, S -- Georgia: Rambo has impressed scouts with his consistency and ability to stay away from mental mistakes this season. He's a forceful safety who effectively works with cornerbacks to control the action in the middle of the field. Rambo posted eight tackles and one interception during the win over Auburn and has cemented himself as a middle-round selection.

[La Pantera]

Liked Margus Hunt last year, he really killed at blocking FGs. He's a freakishly big guy. I'd take him in the 4th even though we don't really need a DE. Could give us one helluva 4 man rotation.

week 13

Terrance Williams WR Baylor. broke Kendall Wright record for yards from last year, but some talking heads think he is not as good as Wright. Williams is faster, has better size so i think he is just as good, and has a good chance to go in the 1st round. he had 7 catches for 175 yards and a TD vs Texas Tech.

Codarrelle Patterson WR UT. if he is not scoring pasing TDs, than he is finding another way to score either on a KO return, out the back field, or where ever he wants. he had 4 catches for 88 yards and a TD.

Bacarri Rambo S UGA. this is guy is a ball hawk, and plays the game very nasty.i think he is the top FS prospect but previous off field issues might make slide to the 2nd round.other than that he added another INT to his career and caused 2 FF and 1 FR.he ran the alley and made some great tackles

Sharrif Floyd DT Florida. this guy has impressed all year.not only can he stuff the run, but he can also push the pocket and is a decent pass rusher. also has the athletic ability to line up at DE were he played last season but this guy is the ideal 3 tech or 5 tech in an odd front. he had a good game vs FSU and stayed in there back field, were he had a sack. should have had 2 but missed the QB on the 1st.

Stedman Bailey WR WVU. coming off a 13 catch 205 yard and 4 TD vs Oklahoma last week, he put up 7 catches for 82 yards and a TD. he is looking like he was at the beginning of the season.

Kenny Stills WR Oklahoma. coming off 10 catches for 91 yards and 4 TDs last week, he had another productive game vs Oklahoma St with 9 catches 103 yards and a TD.

Bjoern Werner DE Florida St. he had his way with the RT from Florida.3 sacks, a FR were he caught the ball in mid air.

Cody Hoffman WR BYU.a 6'4 215 pound guy that has been producing since stepping onto campus in provo. had a stat line vs New Mexico that read 12 catches for 182 yards and 5 TDs.

this team has to get a WR this year, and there are some pretty good 1s that will be there.

[La Pantera]

I want Patterson, but I think he's been rated the #1 WR prospect here lately. I think he goes in the first.

[La Pantera]

Floyd also looks to be a good prospect. He was destroying FSUs Oline.

[carolina-chuck]

I want Patterson, but I think he's been rated the #1 WR prospect here lately. I think he goes in the first.

Is he? Man I have a feeling that if he enters, he'll be the no.3-4 WR off the board. I can't see him falling into the 2nd.

PFT did talk about how Bray, Hunter, and Patterson all declined to make commitment about entering the draft though. But with the firing of Dooley, I'm thinking Hunter and Patterson will def enters the draft.
