Running Backs-
TJ Logan-UNC-(6th round projection)-4.37 40, explosive athlete, terrific hands with one drop in the last three years. He is a threat in the return game as well. He has some toughness to him but got lost behind Elijah Hood. I think he would be a tremendous value in the 6th.
Tarik "The Joystick" Cohen (7th round-FA)-4.42 40, Barry Sanders-lite, despite his small frame has arm tackle breaking ability. His lateral movement, burst and speed are elite. If he was 5 foot 10, 220 he would be a first rounder. I really like this kid but wonder if he can hold up to the hits at the next level.
Wide Receivers
My Favorite Sleeper in the whole draft is Robert Davis...remember this name.
Robert Davis-Georgia State-6 foot 3, 219 and built like a tank. 4.44 40, 41 inch vertical leap, freakishly athletic. How this guy got missed by college scouts I'll never understand. Most productive WR in sunbelt history, was a man amongst boys at that level. Powerful, fast, terrific hands, solid routes. My ONLY criticism of this guys game was there were occasions I didn't see him play as big as he should. Learning to high point balls at the next level will need to be a priority. 6-7 rounder? Are these scouts serious? This guy is a second round talent and only because of the school he played at. I have no idea if NFL scouts have also missed on this guy or I'm seeing things but IMO he could be the biggest steal in this draft. My comparison-Martavis Bryant
Josh Reynolds-TAnM-(5th Round) 6 foot 3 194 with 4.5 speed. One of the most productive WRs in Texas A+M history. Runs decent routes, has solid hands burst and speed. Needs to put on about 10 pounds of muscle and be a little more physical. I believe this kid could be a terrific #2 with a year of NFL nutrition and weight training. Personally, I think you can get Davis later and Davis is a better WR.
Edge/OLB
Unfortunately I don't see much from a late day edge rusher prospective but let me break down a couple second rounders that many here have been talking about. I like them both.
Jordan Willis-KSU-6 foot 4, 255, 4.53 40. The guy is an explosive pass rusher. Versitile and was used along that KSU DL to create mismatches. Strong, productive, explosive athlete. Ruthless brought up a terrific point. There are two day two guys who are legit NFL pass rushers. It may benefit the Steelers to go after a DB or safety in the first.
Derek Rivers-Youngstown State-6 foot 4 248. I prefer Willis as I believe Rivers has more he needs to work on. Seems like a one trick pony with his rush moves and won't really overwhelm you with power. But, he is twitchy, explosive and plays with a mean streak. I think he would be a tremendous value in the third and a slight gamble in the second. He is a terrific athlete and I believe could be groomed into a very productive NFL player.
