The Dallas Cowboys selected cornerback Byron Jones with the 27th overall pick. Here's the scouting report, courtesy of Shasky Clarke (@SclarkeNFL). An elite prospect, Byron Jones is flying under the radar largely due to a lack of attention paid to a relatively irrelevant Connecticut football program.

The Baltimore Ravens selected Breshad Perriman with the 26th overall pick. Here's the scouting report, courtesy of Jeff Hyde (@Jeff__Hyde). Breshad Perriman has an intimidation factor that NFL teams will like. He has a great combination of size and explosiveness off the line that will make cornerbacks begin the play on their heels. Perriman has the speed to blow past the coverage and the athletic ability to make some acrobatic catches on tough throws. The Carolina Panthers have selected Shaq Thompson with the 25th overall pick. Here's the scouting report, courtesy of Justin Capriotti (@JCapSports). Shaq Thompson is twenty years old and is coming off a season where he dominated division one football at multiple defensive positions and as a running back. The Arizona Cardinals have selected D.J. Humphries with the 24th overall pick. Here's the scouting report, courtesy of Gabriel Burns (@SoHotitGBurns) It’s not too often a player from the University of Florida is a sleeper, but D.J. Humphries was under the radar for much of the 2014 season. More scouts began talking about him post-season, and he performed very well at the combine to firmly place himself as a high round pick in this draft. The Denver Broncos traded up with the Detroit Lions and selected Shane Ray with the 23rd overall pick. Here's the scouting report, courtesy of Shasky Clarke (@sclarkenfl). After hinting at greatness in 2013 behind Michael Sam and Kony Ealy, Shane Ray exploded onto the scene in 2014, finishing with 13.5 sacks and over 20 tackles for loss as a full time starter. He was productive outside as well as inside, where he often lined up in sub-packages on third downs. The Pittsburgh Steelers have selected Bud Dupree with the 22nd overall pick. Here's the scouting report, courtesy of Shasky Clarke (@sclarkenfl). Alvin Dupree is a freak athlete with positional versatility and very good collegiate production. Dupree possesses dominant explosiveness and demonstrates great closing speed. When he was asked to drop into coverage, he was very capable. After adding bulk in the offseason, Dupree has become strong holding up at the point of attack as well as using his upper body strength to separate from blockers. The Cincinnati Bengals selected Cedric Ogbuehi with the 21st overall pick. Here's the scouting report, courtesy of Gabriel Burns (@SoHotItGBURNS). One of the more intriguing players in this class, evaluators are all over the place with their opinions of Texas A&M’s Cedric Ogbuehi. Once thought to be a top five selection, Ogbuehi saw his stock take a strong dip before tearing his ACL in the Aggies’ bowl game. The Philadelphia Eagles selected Nelson Agholor with the 20th overall pick. Here's the scouting report, courtesy of Jeff Hyde (@Jeff__Hyde). Nelson Agholor took the reins from recent USC wide receiver graduates Robert Woods and Marqise Lee and took them to new heights last year. Agholor’s production was off the charts, catching 104 passes for 1,313 yards and 12 touchdowns. The Cleveland Browns have selected Cameron Erving with the 19th overall pick. Here's the scouting report, courtesy of Gabriel Burns (@SoHotItGBURNS). Florida State’s Cameron Erving is one of my favorite prospects in the 2015 draft. Erving is the most versatile of all the offensive linemen, being able to play any position on the line. Despite this versatility, Erving is a much better fit inside, especially at the center position. The Kansas City Chiefs selected Marcus Peters with the 18th overall pick.Here's the scouting report, courtesy of Jeff Hyde (@Jeff__Hyde). Marcus Peters has all the talent to be a number one NFL cornerback. He has good size, good speed and is the best in this class at blanketing both deep threat wide receivers and short yardage receivers. The San Francisco 49ers selected Arik Armstead with the 17th overall pick. Here's the scouting report, courtesy of Shasky Clarke (@sclarkenfl). Arik Armstead, a former high school standout recruit with basketball experience, presents an exciting blend of size and athleticism for the interior of a defensive front. The Houston Texans selected cornerback Kevin Johnson with the 16th overall pick. Here's the scouting report, courtesy of Gabriel Burns (@SoHotItGBURNS). Kevin Johnson of Wake Forest is arguably the best cornerback prospect in this class. Johnson has excellent cover coverage skills and projects as a starting outside corner in the NFL. The San Diego Chargers traded up in the NFL Draft with the San Francisco 49ers and selected Melvin Gordon with the 15th overall pick. Here is the scouting report, courtesy of Justin Capriotti (@JCapSports). Melvin Gordon has the skillset that translates to a top ten NFL running back from day one with the potential to refine his skills and become one of the better runners in the league. The Miami Dolphins took arguably the best player available in the draft in wide receiver DeVante Parker from Louisville. Here is the scouting report, courtesy of Jeff Hyde (@Jeff__Hyde). DeVante Parker has the ideal body size for an NFL receiver. At 6’3, 209 pounds, and an 80 inch wingspan, Parker provides any NFL team with an instant target for their quarterback to aim for. From there, Parker will do the rest. Parker will be in immediate contention for one of the starting wide receiver spots with Greg Jennings, Jarvis Landry, Kenny Stills and Rishard Matthews in the mix. Last season, he missed 7 games with a foot injury but still had 43 completions for 855 yards and five touchdowns in six games. We'll have a full blown analysis of him Friday morning here on the site.
The New Orleans Saints have selected offensive tackle Andrus Peat with the 13th overall pick. Here is the scouting report, courtesy of Gabriel Burns (@SoHotItGBURNS). Andrus Peat has been a massive force during his time at Stanford. The huge tackle wins with his strength. He has the look of a starting left tackle in the NFL. The Cleveland Browns have selected Danny Shelton with the 12th overall pick. Here is the scouting report, courtesy of Jeff Hyde (@Jeff__Hyde). Danny Shelton is the true definition of a nose tackle at the next level and is going to demand double teams. But unlike some nose tackles that are just there to fill space, Shelton has great athleticism for his size. The Minnesota Vikings have selected Trae Waynes with the eleventh overall pick. Here is the scouting report, courtesy of Jeff Hyde (@Jeff__Hyde). Trae Waynes has prototypical size and speed for the cornerback position. He has good, long arms and great straight line speed. This combination of size and speed makes it extremely difficult to throw it deep on him. The St. Louis Rams have selected Todd Gurley with the tenth overall pick. Here is the scouting report, courtesy Justin Capriotti (@JCapSports). Todd Gurley is an all-around workhorse back and without his injury concerns, would have an argument as a top ten selection. What makes Gurley special is his balance and power. He’s able to run through arm tackles like they’re nothing. He has a good sense of how to run in short yardage situations and will never go down easy. The New York Giants selected Ereck Flowers with the ninth overall pick. Here is the scouting report, courtesy of Gabriel Burns (@SoHotItGBURNS). Former Miami Hurricane Ereck Flowers has been a heavy topic of conversation throughout this process. Opinions on him are widespread, and his combine didn’t help form a consensus. He did impressively bench 225 pounds 37 times, which was the highest of all the offensive linemen. The Atlanta Falcons have selected Vic Beasley with the eighth overall pick. Here is the scouting report, courtesy of Justin Capriotti (@JCapSports). Vic Beasley is easily the best pass rusher in this draft and is the closest thing to Von Miller since Miller came out. Beasley proved all of his doubters wrong at the combine where he reached his ideal weight and still showed the explosiveness that already made him a potential top five pick. The Chicago Bears have selected wide receiver Kevin White with the seventh overall pick. Here is the full scouting report, courtesy of Jeff Hyde (@Jeff__Hyde). Maybe the most physically gifted WR in this draft class, Kevin White possesses a huge frame, long arms and the quickness to become this year’s best wide receiver. White has huge hands and the ability to go get the ball at its highest point when it’s in the air. The New York Jets have selected Leonard Williams with the sixth overall pick. Here's his full scouting report, courtesy of Jeff Hyde (@Jeff__Hyde). There are many things teams will love about Leonard Williams leading up to the NFL Draft in just a few weeks. The Washington Redskins have selected offensive tackle with Brandon Scherff with the fifth overall pick. Here is the full scouting report, courtesy of Gabriel Burns (@SoHotItGBURNS): Brandon Scherff shined in his career at Iowa and has long been the top offensive lineman on many draft boards. Scherff is a powerful run blocker who is likely a right tackle or guard at the next level. The Oakland Raiders have selected wide receiver Amari Cooper with the fourth overall pick. Here's his full scouting report, courtesy of Jeff Hyde (@Jeff__Hyde). Cooper will be taken in the top ten in this year’s draft because of his ‘natural ability’ at the position. He understands the nuances of the position that make him a better player. He runs very crisp, fluid routes and can adjust his frame to allow for a bigger target for the quarterback to throw to. The Jacksonville Jaguars have selected Dante Fowler with the third overall pick. Here is his full scouting report, courtesy of Justin Capriotti (@JCapSports). Dante Fowler isn’t quite there yet, but he has the potential to be molded into whatever an NFL team wants him to be. At over 260 pounds, Fowler can easily play as a 4-3 defensive end but I feel his best fit is standing up in a 3-4 front which will unveil his vaunted versatility. |
