NFL Draft: Players I like

Here are some down-the-list players who could make an impact in the league. Tyler Bray-QB Tennessee. I thought he was an asshol ein college but he has a lot of ability. With him it will be the mental part of the game that must come together. Mike James-RB Miami. Bigger than most backs this year. Good speed. Plays hard. Ryan Swope-WR Texas A&M. Fits the Welker-Amendola mold nicely and not just because he's a honky. Excellent speed and moves well when the Qb is on the run. Phillip Lutzenkirchen-TE Auburn. Not a speedster but he will block and he's good at the endzone. Could be a solid No. 2 TE, maybe start in the right situation. Ricky Wagner-T Wisconsin. Started at LT for two years. He may be better on the right side. Co0mes out of a good offense to learn in and showed dependability and ability. Alvin Bailey-G Arkansas. Must get more consistent but Bailey has superior skills. Lots of pass blocking experience. Needs work but has good tools. Dalton Freeman-C Clemson. Another "sleeper" with physical skills and a background in a versatile offense. Brent Russell-DT Georgia Southern. Best DL in the Southern Conference. At worst he should be a solid DT rotation guy. Great production. Mike Catapano-DE Princeton. He will make an imprerssion if taken by a 3-4 team which develops him carefully. Good physical attributes and a productive college career. Herman Lathers-MLB Tennessee. Injuries crippled his college career, but Lathers showed ability when he was healthy. He'll be a steal for someone. Jelani Jenkins-LB Florida. A lot of talent but he's coming out too early. Jenkins will play in the NFL and I wouldn't be surprised if he went as early as the seconbd round. David Amerson-CB NC State. He picked off a dozen passes as a sophomore and looked great. Not so good last year but still productive. The ability is definitely there. Good size and he can run. Baccari Rambo-S Georgia. A playmaker who can run and hit. He's a good punt returner. LIke a lot of UGA safeties, he needs to work on his tackling. He will help an NFL team.
