We know what TCU outside linebacker Daryl Washington is. He struggled to get off a block in this game, but he's great in space and highly athletic. He's a weakside linebacker and will go in Rounds 2 or 3.

Penn State defensive tackle Jared Odrick had a great game to cap off his impressive week. He's an Energizer bunny who doesn't take a play off and has very quick, active hands.

Tim Tebow had an inconsistent game. He made a couple of nice throws, but he showed in this game that he is incapable of running away/around NFL linebackers. His mobility was a huge part of his game in college and this concerns me when projecting him to the league. Some team is going to have to draft him as a quarterback purely on intangibles.

Florida State corner Patrick Robinson made a couple nice tackles in run support, but he had a rather inconsistent week.

I feel bad for Taylor Mays. He bombed this week and missed a tackle in the game as he got out of control and failed to wrap up. His stock is dropping, but I still see some team taking him in the first round based on his workouts.

Quitely, South Carolina linebacker Eric Norwood had a bad week. He can't turn and run with tight ends and his speed is pretty average. He really struggled in the game.

Tennessee nose tackle Dan Williams solidified his first-round grade and will come off the board in the top 25 picks. He showed nice hands, quickness and strength all week long. Williams also did a great job of staying low.

I saw excellent eye manipulation by Tony Pike on his first touchdown pass to Garrett Graham, but it was nullified by a Mike Iupati hold. Pike had another nice play on the read option and showed some decent speed. Overall, he had an up-and-down week, but looks like a reliable backup.

I know Brandon Graham had a very good game, but I noticed he showed poor discipline on one reverse. He made up for it later by staying home on a pitch.

Georgia defensive tackle Geno Atkins impressed me all week long and he again showed great penetration and athleticism in the bowl game.

Sure, Oregon running back LeGarrette Blount had a good game by pumping his feet after contact, but his first touchdown was a win by the offensive line as he ran through a mammoth hole which didn't impress me.

One of the worst offensive tackles of the week was West Virginia product Selvish Capers. He's completely raw with technique and gave up a sack to Brandon Graham.

My sleeper receiver at the moment is the Citadel's Andre Roberts, who showed beautiful body control, hands and concentration on a crossing route as quarterback Zac Robinson had to throw the ball behind him for a completion.

Alabama nose tackle Terrence Cody didn't look good at the weigh in, but he showed nice awareness on a counter as he spun around the center to make the tackle for a loss.

Virginia Tech tackle Ed Wang struggled this week. He has slow feet and is a little stiff.

North Carolina nose tackle Cam Thomas has a great bull rush and made a big jump up big boards this week. He is now my No. 3 nose tackle prospect and a third-round value.

The most disappointing corner in the country for me this season has to be Kentucky's Trevard Lindley, who often looked disinterested and non-competitive in today's game. General managers will take note when they put on the tape. He is now a projected late-round pick.

An underrated sleeper to watch is USC lineman Jeff Byers. He made some excellent second-level blocks showcasing his athleticism. Zone-blocking schemes will rate him more highly than man blocking schemes.

I thought Larry Asanate, safety out of Nebraska, had an inconsistent week, but he had a nice forced fumble in the game and is still a fringe second-rounder.

Cincinnati receiver Mardy Gilyard showed nice speed in this game deep, but he still shied from contact during the week and struggled to locate the ball. I still believe his name will get called in Round 3.

Arkansas State defensive end Alex Carrington made himself some money this week. The 3-4 teams are intrigued with his size, athleticism and upside.

West Virginia quarterback Jarrett Brown is a project, but the ball comes out smooth off his hands. He has a strong body and good arm strength. He might have played himself into the third round in Mobile.
