1.1 Tampa Bay QB Ronald Eastman 41/89 6' 0" 222 lbs Southern California
In a very deep quarterback class, Tampa Bay selects Eastman out of Southern California with the 1st overall pick. Only time will tell which of the 5 quarterbacks selected in the top 7 picks will have the best career.
The 2nd quarterback taken is the most mobile of the bunch and scouts rank the safest bet to have a solid pro career. Stephens may not end up with the best career among the big 5 but he will be a starter in the league for years to come.
Grade A
1.3 New York QB Michael Preston 37/91 6' 1" 210 lbs Acorn State
Coming out of a small college, Preston is a gamble but scouts believe he has the highest ceiling among the big 5 but also is perhaps the riskiest.
Grade A
1.4 Philadelphia WR David Giles 37/83 5' 11" 186 lbs Georgia
Philly takes the 1st non-quarterback in the draft and they select perhaps the fastest player in the draft. There is no question about his speed but scouts wonder if he can translate that speed into the pros.
Grade A-
1.5 Toronto CB Louis Butts 34/93 6' 0" 191 lbs Southern California
The 1st defensive player taken is a defensive back who had the size and speed teams look for but scouts question if he can develop his game at the next level. A gamble that could pay huge dividends or set the francise back depending on his development
Grade B
1.6 Vegas QB Marc Cote 39/90 6' 1" 216 lbs Towson State
Another small school quarterback who scouts believe has the upside of being an elite quarterback in the league. If he can develop his game at the next level, he could be the steal of the draft.
The 5th quarterback taken in the top 7 picks has the prototypical size and intelligence for the position. Scouts had him going as high as 2nd or 3rd but he ends up being the 5th quarterback taken.
Grade A
1.8 Michigan SLB Jack Lambert 37/81 6' 1" 254 lbs Simon Fraser
Lambert played outside linebacker in college but the scouts believe he could transition to defensive end at the next level. It's sorta a risky pick taking a project player this high in the draft.
Donaldson has great size and speed and has an above average chance to become a lock down corner in the league.
Grade A
1.10 Washington FS Steven Gwin 36/78 6' 0" 204 lbs Penn State
The 1st true shocker comes at pick #10. Gwin is a solid safety who scouts believe with start in the pros but questions over his speed had him going at the bottom of the 1st round or early 2nd round.
Vegas takes this defensive end from Miami who has the size and speed to both stuff the run and rushing the passer.
Grade A
1.12 Texas MLB Ricardo Hunt 34/81 6' 0" 248 lbs San Jose State
Texas selects the 1st true middle linebacker at #12. He has the intelligence, size and speed to be a 3 down backer who can play the run, play in pass coverage and wear the green dot.
Another tweener college linebacker that scouts see as a defensive end. If he can bulk up, he can become a solid defender on the DLINE.
Grade A-
1.14 Arizona CB Ronald Brown 31/85 6' 1" 190 lbs Penn State
Scouts projected Brown as a top ten pick with his world class speed and solid coverage skills. A steal at #14.
Grade A
1.15 Miami TE Kent Lee 36/88 6' 5" 260 lbs Stanford
This complete tight end out of Stanford is as close as a sure thing as you will find in the draft. He has the size, speed, blocking and pass catching skills to become a weapon at the next level.
Grade A
1.16 Carolina WR Joseph Ishmael 35/82 5' 11" 209 lbs Brigham Young
He lacks the speed of Giles who went #4 but is a more polished receiver all around and his speed is still decent.
Grade A
1.17 Los Angeles CB Octavio Silva 27/80 6' 1" 209 lbs California
Silva has the coverage skills to be a great cornerback but lacks the high end speed to be a lock down corner. He could also transition to safety according to the scouts.
Grade A-
1.18 Carolina LG Richard Crockett 32/90 6' 5" 323 lbs Oklahoma
The first offensive lineman taken was a left guard in college but scouts project him to move to right tackle in the pros.
Grade A
1.19 Vancouver MLB William Elam 31/65 6' 2" 233 lbs Louisville
Elam is sorta a head scratcher pick. He has decent speed, has high football IQ with elite pass rush and man cover skills. Finding the right position for him is the question. Possible outside linebacker or even slot corner are a possibility.
Grade B-
1.20 Saint Paul SS Minh Little 40/78 6' 0" 205 lbs Tennessee
Little has elite speed and is highly intelligent which is a great combo for safety at the next level.
Guzman is more of a run stuffing middle linebacker without great pass cover skills. Scouts projected him to go in the 2nd round so this is a reach
Grade B-
1.22 Brooklyn C Charles Davis 47/85 6' 1" 283 lbs Clemson
The best true center in the draft goes at # 22. Decent size and can play elsewhere on the line if needed.
Grade A
1.23 Providence WR Michael Warnick 37/87 5' 11" 208 lbs Boston College
Warnick is a polished receiver but lacks the high end speed to be a deep threat. It is what is known as a possessions receiver and there is nothing wrong with that.
Grade B+
1.24 Kansas City TE Tommy Navas 35/89 6' 3" 257 lbs Missouri
Navas is a very intriguing pick. He has the ball handling skills to transition to FB and even a possibility he can drop enough weight to become a feature back. He could be a threat at TE, FB or RB depending on what the team needs.
Grade A
1.25 New England LG George Hill 37/95 6' 0" 309 lbs Baylor
Scouts have Hill rated as the highest potential offensive lineman in the draft. He could develop into a dominate LT if he makes the transition to the pros.
Has the size, strength and quickness to play inside or outside but his best position should be at RT.
Grade A
1.27 Atlanta WR Allen Parker 32/86 5' 10" 198 lbs Texas A&M
Parker has decent speed and flashed high end receiving skills in college. Scouts believe he is definately a future starter in the league. Nice get this late in the 1st round.
Grade A
1.28 Texas CB James Day 29/85 6' 0" 205 lbs West Virginia
Day flashes world class speed at the combine and his draft stock rose in many scouts minds. He has potential for elite level coverage skills to go along with his speed and could be a steal at the end of the round.
Grade A
1.29 Houston TE Joseph Starks 35/80 6' 0" 235 lbs Mississippi State
A bit undersized to play tight end at this level but scouts believe his has the ball handling skills to transition to either FB or RB. He is a project pick but could pay huge dividends if he plans out.
Grade A-
1.30 Michigan SS Donnie Shell 34/80 5' 11" 198 lbs Washington State
A safety in college with average speed but scouts love his potential cover skills and could transition to a slot or dime cornerback.
Grade B
1.31 Oakland CB Javier Dennis 30/79 5' 11" 203 lbs Portland State
Dennis has high football IQ coupled with decent speed and is physical at the line of scrimmage. Scouts doubt he has the man to man cover skills to play cornerback but could become a safety at the next level.
Grade B+
1.32 Texas LDE Robert Grams 35/87 6' 2" 288 lbs Brigham Young
Grams has decent size and strength and showed flashes of dominance playing defensive end in college. If he can develop his game at the next level, he could become a force at the next level.
