1.1 TEXAS

MLB Robert Canfield 39/91

This 6'1" 242 lb linebacker out of Texas A&M is the prototypical three down MLB that can call the defense, stuff the run, and drop into coverage. He has the potential to be an elite playmaker on defense for years to come.

Grade A

1.2 VANCOUVER

RDE Charles Denham 39/90

This 6'2" 268 lb defensive end out of Texas has the strength and leverage to seal the edge against the run while also having the speed and quickness to rush the passer off the edge.

Grade A

1.3 VEGAS

RDE Steven Nichols 35/84

This 5'11" 239 lb defensive end out of Pitt is a little undersized to play that position at the next level. He uses speed and quickness to rush off the edge and the hope is he can bulk up without losing too much speed.

Grade B+

1.4 LOS ANGELES (N)

WR Andre Hicks 38/89

This 6'0" 189 lb receiver out of Maryland has world class speed coupled with elite hands, route running and ability to get off the line in press coverage.

Grade A

1.5 NEW ENGLAND

MLB Charles Sullivan 34/83

This 6'0" 240 linebacker out of UCLA played outside linebacker in college but scouts believe his intelligence and all around defensive skills should allow him to transition to the "mike" backer. Seen as a high upside project with some risk involved.

Grade B

1.6 CLEVELAND

QB Louis Murray 40/81

This 6'1" 244 lb signal caller out of Georgia Tech has a big arm that shows great accuracy. His unorthodox size and ability to break tackles made him difficult to bring down in college which led to some big plays but also led to some fumbles.

Grade B+

1.7 TAMPA BAY

WR Anibal Stepp 38/87

This 6'1" 183 lb receiver out of Washington is a burner with advanced route running ability and great hands.

Grade A

1.8 WASHINGTON

WR Luther Via 40/88

This 5'11" 201 lb receiver out of the Cumberland Boys Rehabilitation Center is a prime example of someone getting a second chance in life. As a foster child and ward of the state in Maryland, Via found himself on the wrong side of the law before being enrolled in a school for troubled youths. He has turned his life around and scouts believe he is a sure thing in this draft.

Grade A

1.9 Monatana

SS James Johnson 35/71

This 6'0" 197 lb safety out of Virginia is a sure tackling, down in the box type safety who plays better in a zone scheme

Grade B-

1.10 NY (A)

C Donald Thomas 44/89

This 6'2" 288 center out of Penn State is a highly intelligent player who can call the blocking assignments while possessing great blocking and snapping skills.

Grade A


1.11 Providence

This 5'8" 227 lb sparkplug out of Washington has a great combination of power and strength to run the ball up the middle or bust it to the outside.

Grade A-

1.12 Green Bay

TE Sebastian McLendon 37/89

This 6'5" 261 tight end out of Pitt has the potential to become an elite pass catching TE with fantastic blocking ability.

Grade A-

1.13 Milwaukee

FS William Roof 26/74

This 5'11" 243 lb safety out of Kansas State may best be suited transitioning to linebacker. His size is well above average for a safety so a move to either inside or outside linebacker makes sense.

Grade B

LMAO @ "Cumberland Boys Rehabilitation Center"

****, Washington must have had a **** of an offense last season. Huskies had a WR and an RB taken in the first 11 picks of the draft!

I like to make sure people actually read all of these.

Yeah I noticed that and Pitt must have been a good team too.

Ok.....sorry for the delay but my car died on me today and Ive been dealing with that issue for most of the afternoon.

Tow truck.....dealership.....rental car....the whole ordeal.

Now the rest of the 1st round..........

1.14. Milwaukee

WR Shane Weiser 31/89

This 6'0" 216 lb receiver out of Texas Tech has the speed, quickness and reciever skills necessary to become a number 1 WR.

Grade A

1.15 Denver

DT Jimmy Scott 35/81

This 6'2" 295 lb defensive tackle out of Oklahoma has the size and strength to play the nose in the 3-4 plus has great speed for his size and can create a pass rush in the 4-3.

Grade B+

1.16 Cincinnati

WR Norman Rosario 35/91

This 5'11" 190 lb receiver out of Colorodo is the 5th WR taken in the first round. He may be the 5th fastest receiver taken but has the potential to have the best overall hands, route running, avoid b&r and courage to go across the middle.

Grade B+

1.17 Kansas City

MLB Erik Lentini 37/80

This 5'11" 255 lb linebacker out of Texas A&M is a prime candidate to bulk up a little bit and use his strength, speed and quickness to become a edge rush defensive end.

Grade B

1.18 Carolina

RDE Edward Dizon 41/87

This 6'4" 274 lb defensive end out of Tennessee has the wing span and height to use along with his strength to become an effective run stuffer and edge rusher.

Grade B

1.19 Vancouver

MLB Donald Kindig 36/87

This 6'0" 246 lb linebacker out of Louisiana State has the potential to play outside linebacker, inside lknebacker or defensive end. The versatility to play multiple positions improved his draft status but the key will be how he develops in training camp.

Grade B

1.20 Seattle

WR Peter Tomlin 34/91

This 5'11" 207 lb receiver is a local prospect from Nirvana Academy in Cornell County, Seattle. This raw prospect may be the 6th reciever taken but his potential is through the roof and he could end up the best of the draft if he fully develops.

Grade A-

1.21 Miami

LDE Pablo Sparks 33/76

This 6'3" 282 lb defensive end out of Colorodo is a solid run stopping defensive lineman with average speed on the edge and uses power to rush the quarterback.

Grade B-

1.22 Vancouver

WR Felix Roberts 36/91

This 5'11" 190 reciever out of Brigham Young continues the 1st round run on potential dominate WR1s. He has the elite speed and the potential to become a star wide receiver in this league.

Grade B+

1.23 Gem City

WR Javier Washington 35/80

This 6'0" 188 lb receiver out of Penn State becomes the 8th WR taken in the 1st round and while his speed isnt on par with most of the other receivers taken, his hands and ability to get off the jam give him the potential to become a playmaker in the league.

Grade B

1.24 Philadelphia

RT Joseph Gutierrez 34/87

This 6'4" 312 lb offensive tackle out of North Carolina is the first outside offensive lineman taken in the 1st round. He has the strength and blocking potential to become an elite right or left tackle.

Grade A-

1.25 LA (N)

CB Gilbert Fortier 30/72

This 6'0" 201 lb defensive back out of Notre Dame has the size and speed to play cover corner and he is a solid tackling but it remains to be seen how well his M2M and B&R skills translate to the pros.

Grade B-

1.26 Dakota

WR Robert Campbell 41/89

This 5'11" 198 lb receiver out of Ohio State is the 9th and last WR taken in the 1st round. He is one of the slowest and has the least potential of all the WRs taken and this pick was obviously a reach for need.

Grade C-

1.27 Oakland

DT Marcus Augustine 39/77

This 6'3" 295 defensive tackle out of
Kentucky is a rare combination of power and speed which makes him a dominant pass rusher on the interior of the defense.

Grade A-

1.28 Buffalo

RDE Ralph Mowen 28/79

This 6'3" 280 lb defensive lineman out of Arkansas is solid at sealing the edge and stopping the run and has below average speed when it comes to edge rushing.

Grade B-
