Ryan Kerrigan
Position: DE School: Purdue Height: 6’3 7/8" Weight: 267 lbs Class: Senior 40 time: 4.71 All-Star Game: Senior Bowl Team Captain: 2010 Draft Projection: Late 1st Round
Summary
Kerrigan is exactly the type of football player that every defensive coach wants on their team. Consistent in all aspects of his game, Kerrigan has shown to be a hard worker on and off the field. For two years, Kerrigan ranked near the top of the nation in sacks, forced fumbles and tackles for a loss. The production is hard to ignore but Kerrigan hasn’t been exactly a ‘game-changing’ player. He may be the type of player that is very good at everything, but great at nothing, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Kerrigan is a high motor, high effort guy that is willing to do whatever his team needs him to do. I believe he Keep Reading…

Julio Jones
Position: WR School: Alabama Height: 6’2 3/4" Weight: 220 lbs Class: Junior 40 time: 4.39 All-Star Game: n/a Team Captain: No Draft Projection: Top 10 Pick
Summary
The argument of Julio Jones vs. AJ Green has been going on since the end of the college football season and quite frankly, it comes down to a matter of preference and team need. Jones is the complete package and has all the tools to become a Pro Bowl receiver in the NFL. Big, physical, excellent leaping ability and has a knack for making plays. Jones also surprised everyone with the a 4.39 40 yard dash at the Scouting Combine, which really boosted his draft stock. Jones has been compared to Anquan Boldin and his physical style of play warrants it. While he may not be as elusive as AJ Green, Julio Jones will still make whichever Keep Reading…

Nick Fairley
Position: DT School: Auburn Height: 6’3 7/8" Weight: 291 lbs Class: RS-Junior 40 time: 4.87 All-Star Game: n/a Team Captain: No Draft Projection: Top 10 Pick
Summary
You’d be hard pressed to find a more dominant interior defensive player in all of college football last year than Nick Fairley. The Auburn defensive tackle lined up against some very talented offensive lines in the SEC and was able to consistently make his presence felt. The problem is, Fairley only showed this kind of dominance in one year, which lead many to question if he is a ‘one year wonder.’ When you put on the film, Fairley pops right off the screen with his play. He consistently pressures the quarterback and set up shop in the backfield of just about every team he faced. It’s rare to find someone that is as big as Fairley that Keep Reading…

1. Which player will be the Carolina Panthers’ First Overall Pick?
RYAN: I have said it since January; I expect the Panthers will wind up taking Cam Newton with that first pick. They will surely consider Missouri’s Blaine Gabbert and Alabama Defensive Tackle Marcell Dareus, but in the end I believe the Heisman Trophy winner holds the edge. After taking Jimmy Clausen with their first pick (Second Round) a year ago, many will believe the Quarterback position already has its’ young heir. Unfortunately, the Notre Dame product proved himself to be mentally weak, ineffective as a passer, and he appears unlikely to have convinced the new coaching staff. A common misconception is that Clausen was a big investment for GM Marty Hurney, but in reality, he makes far less than $1 million a year. Additionally, the team publicly declared they would replace him if Andrew Luck were to enter this years’ draft.
