Dynasty Draftnik

Gigantic 6’8″ height, but H-back bulk.

Positives: Adequate hands. Fair speed and acceleration for size. Very fast track speed for his size. Adequate run blocker. Good effort on errant passes. Very good vertical leap.

Negatives: Seems too tall to adjust to low passes. Has a hard time getting low enough to generate leverage as a blocker.

Projection: 6th round. If he works on his blocking technique and adds some bulk, could be a solid blocker. And with his size, speed, and athleticism, he could make for an excellent intermediate and red-zone target. Pay attention to where he goes and watch his preseason.

Texans, UDFA. Ill.: FB size. Above-average hand size.

Positives: Adequate quickness, power, and burst for the size. Good spin move. Surprisingly quick feet for a big back. Reportedly above-average hands in NFLPA Bowl practices and at Pro Day.

Negatives: A little slow to get through line. Been arrested twice for driving with suspended license. Academically ineligible for 2011 bowl game.

Projection: Is probably the Texans’ 4th RB entering camp, and probably won’t contribute much in 2012 if he makes the team. But watch him in preseason and be willing to pick him up if one of their top RBs is injured. Has potential to contribute as part-timer or fill in at FB.

Good height, but a little slim. Average hand size.

Positives: Good quickness. Fair burst and change-of-direction skills. Fair balance after contact. Reportedly good hands.

Negatives: Holds ball a little low in traffic.

Projection: Undrafted, and likely never more than a bench player, but I need to see more of him.

Slightly below-average size. Former transfer from Oklahoma State.

Negatives: Tends to throw with 3/4 release, but release point is inconsistent. Below-average arm. Overthrows receivers consistently. Slightly long windup. Poor accuracy. Throws off back foot often under minimal pressure. Doesn’t read coverages well at all. Eyeballs receivers.

Positives: Throws with adequate velocity. Adequate speed, quickness and power as a runner. Switches hands well as a runner.

Projection: Undrafted, and looks more like a CFL QB prospect. Not fantasy relevant.

Positives: Has more passing skills than expected from an option QB. Throws with adequate velocity and touch. Has slight ability to go through progressions.

Negatives: As a runner, tends to run upright and lacking balance. Strictly ran option offense in college. Long windup. Fairly inaccurate. Below-average arm. Attention limited to one side of field, and tends to stare down receivers. Throws low ball that gets tipped at line often.

Projection: Undrafted. Has military commitments that will limit his ability to sign with a team. May get a contract as a very long-term development project, but not likely to even be fantasy relevant.

Slightly below-average height, but adequate bulk. Giants have shown interest. CFL has also shown interest.

Positives: Throws with a fair amount of touch. Accurate enough on short patterns. Adequate speed and acceleration.

Negatives: Throws falling backward even under minimal pressure. Suspect velocity and arm strength. Checks down consistently, and looked to throw short exclusively in Battle of Florida game.

Projection: Undrafted, and looks like more of a CFL prospect than an NFL one.

Slightly below-average size. Small hands.

Positives: Athletic WR with adequate speed and quickness.

Negatives: Below-average hands — has trouble extending and catching passes away from body.

Projection: Undrafted, but I need to see more of him.

Great size. Adequate hand size. Chiefs and Jets have shown interest.

Positives: Has enough concentration to make the tough catches. Tracks ball well over shoulder. Concentrates even after contact and can extend.

Negatives: Inconsistent hands — makes a circus catch but drops the routine ones. Seems slow. Undisciplined in his routes, and doesn’t get good separation.

Projection: Undrafted, and likely only sticks on roster as a backup.

Eagles, UDFA. Tulsa: Small size.

Positives: Good speed and very quick. Good instincts after catch. Effective in traffic. Set NCAA record for career kickoff yards and AP yards in 2010.

Negatives: Below-average upper-body strength and is easy to bring down with any contact. Seems contact-shy going over the middle as a receiver. Suspended for 2011 by team for embezzlement arrest and is entering 2012 draft.

Projection: Should stick on roster as a backup slot WR and effective returner. Fantasy relevant in return-yardage leagues, but strictly deep bench material otherwise.
