Ezekial Ansah, DE, BYU: "Popular BYU defensive end Ezekiel Ansah keeps getting better (To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 10 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.). He took a poke to the eye during individual drills and missed some time on Wednesday, but he came back to deflect an E.J. Manuel (To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 10 or greater.

Michael Buchanan (To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 10 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.), DE, Illinois: "At defensive end, Michael Buchanan proved to be a far more fluid, balanced and explosive moving athlete than the rest of the group (To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 10 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.), but too often played high and without maintained hand positioning at the point of attack. Buchanan shows glimpses of strong and sudden punches to create movement, but too often his initial punch slides off and he fails to create ideal separation. A project that can be molded into a dangerous edge rusher at the next level, Buchanan needs to land in the right circumstance in order to reach his potential." - Eric Galko, Optimum Scouting
Jonathan Cyprien (To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 10 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.), S, Florida International: " Jonathan Cypriencontinued his impressive week with fantastic range. It seemed as though most of the quarterbacks knew where he was on 7 vs 7s and stayed away (wisely)." - Eric Galko, Optimum Scouting
Aaron Dobson (To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 10 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.), WR, Marshall: "Aaron Dobsonof Marshall, a favorite of mine the past two years because of his highlight reel catches (To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 10 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.) and production despite poor QB play, showed great routes today, especially along the sideline. His development there is better than I expected, and with his upside and quick feet to pick up speed and drive through contact on the interior, he could be a trendy 2nd round favorite." - Eric Galko, Optimum Scouting
Marquise Goodwin (To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 10 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.), WR, Texas: "Another impressive day for Marquise Goodwinof Texas (To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 10 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.). For a smaller, elite speed receiver, he showed consistent speed throughout his routes, able to get vertical in a hurry, and even showed the ability to extend away from his body well. He's really impressed all week, enough to consider putting more weight than his struggles (partially team related) in 2012." - Eric Galko, Optimum Scouting
Margus Hunt (To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 10 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.), DE, SMU: "Margus Hunt struggled once again in practice (To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 10 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.), as a lack of proper timing with his punches and extension led to minimal effect versus the run and the pass. Flashes of off-the-line speed can be seen with physical freak, but Hunt continually popped upright and allowed himself to washed out of the pocket. Hunt's raw ability, length and weight room strength haven't translated to the field as I had hoped, and he'll be facing a serious learning curve at the next level." - Eric Galko, Optimum Scouting
Alex Okafor (To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 10 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.), DE, Texas / Datone Jones (To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 10 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.), DE, UCLA: "Though each had put up eye-popping numbers during their senior seasons (To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 10 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.), Okafor and Jones had each relied on strong hand play and high-revving motors to achieve their success. This week, each has shown better quickness, often slipping past the North offensive tackles with their initial burst.Considering that the North boasts Central Michigan left tackle Eric Fisher that's saying something." Rob Rang, CBS Sports
Quinton Patton (To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 10 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.), WR, Louisiana Tech: "Many analysts were surprised by how well Patton adapted (To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 10 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.)to playing with kids from big schools as he stood out for the right reasons. He was quick off the snap and ran really well. Though he didn't have a breakaway gear, he did show off great hands and concentration throughout the week, particularly on Wednesday when he caught a pass from E.J. Manuel with a defender right on his hip. Expect teams to study up on him and consider him to be a Z receiver." - Dave Richard, CBS Sports
Mychal Rivera, TE, Tennessee: "A strong Wednesday practice (To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 10 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.) pushed him past Vance McDonald (To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 10 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.) as the best tight end candidate, but it took a little time. Like McDonald, he's a downfield receiving threat pretty much in the mold of Aaron Hernandez (To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 10 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.), albeit without the girth. Wednesday saw Rivera get the best of Georgia safety Shawn Williams on a deep post pattern from Tyler Wilson before connecting again with Wilson on a leaping grab down the seam with a defender on his rear."
